Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2)

The arrangement of mana, the structure of the magic, the blazing mana flames, and the illusions that deceived the eyes—all were split cleanly in two as if they were a single mass.

“Ah…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Now he was standing in darkness.

In front of him, the prince of Briol held his sword at a diagonal.

“How about it, Sidherst? crystal Is the fear starting to work now?”

“This is…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Oh, good. abandon At least you’re starting to sound a little more decent.”

He summoned mana again.

“My beloved beard!”

“By the heavens…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

As Master of the Tower, Sidherst had reached unparalleled heights.

He swallowed hard.

“Don’t tell me you…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

His unique sorcery was the Complete Separation Technique—a spell that allowed him to create his own dimension and isolate it from the outside world.

That was why he had always felt secure, no matter the situation.

When Sidherst willed it, no one could find him.

He was a great mage who ruled the Magic Tower, and also a Grand Sorcerer like Inariel and Hernando.

But this sword was different.

“Already afraid?”

“Don’t tell me… can you cut black magic?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

But it was the other way around.

He was nothing more than a bubble appearing and vanishing briefly in the flow of the world.

The title of Master of the Tower, his unique sorcery, the height of his magic—none of it meant anything.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t a punishment—it was an opportunity.

Sidherst closed his eyes.

“I see.”

“And your brother?”

“Yuri Briol. antique It’s likely even you don’t yet understand the true meaning of your sword…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

But the sword the prince of Briol wielded was worth it. adopt Even if it failed, he would not regret this moment.

Sidherst lowered his staff and stepped toward Yuri.

“And this place?”

“My home.”

“Just wait a moment.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Do you know why I let my hair and beard grow so long?”

“Because you were too lazy to cut them?”

Sidherst stood in front of the wall mirror.

“So I wouldn’t forget.”

“No. anchor It’s exactly the opposite. abandon Do you have any idea how hard it is to maintain long hair and a long beard? audit In truth, I wanted to cut them every single day.”

“Then why did you grow them out?”

“So I wouldn’t forget that I’m already an old man. voyage So I wouldn’t get stupid ideas and would simply let time flow, as an old man should.”

Then he removed his robe and stripped his upper body bare.

Sidherst picked up a dagger from the table.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst smiled at himself in the mirror.

Yuri let out a sound of surprise.

His long white hair fell to the floor. orbit He cut his hair down to a soldier’s crop, and shaved his beard clean, leaving only a faint gray shadow on his face.

“But there’s no need for that anymore.”

With those words, he moved the dagger.

Yuri called out in a trembling voice.

“How is it? auction Do I look different now?”

“You look like a revolutionary fighting against the Empire. beacon Before, you looked like a greedy mage serving the Empire for riches.”

“Hahahaha…”

“Let’s go back.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst ignored their probing stares and turned toward the vast lands beyond the cliff, throwing an arm around Yuri’s shoulder.

For his age, he was tall enough to wrap Yuri’s shoulders with ease.

“W-where did that hair and beard go?”

“Hernando, is that how you ended up under his command too?”

“Yeah, right… And now, what’s this, hugging like they’ve been best friends for life?”

“Uh-huh…”

“Lord Sidherst. attic I’ll be counting on you from now on.”

“The honor is mine for having met you.”

Hernando and Maryrose were so perplexed they didn’t know what to say.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

Sidherst, out of habit, touched the place where his beard used to be, then lowered his hand.

Yuri continued.

“Of course. antenna But before that, there’s something you must know.”

“Could you condemn the Empire and black magic?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“The Empire has probably already completed the ritual they’ve been aiming for.”

To make matters worse, upon seeing Cory and Laurent’s faces, the priest demanded an additional hefty sum.

It was a small temple, so there was hardly any space for patients to rest.

Cory took Laurent to a village in the Union of Small Kingdoms and admitted him there.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 248: If I Meet a God, I’ll Kill Him (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hey, you. anchor Are you going to keep standing there?”

Cory had no choice but to pay all of it. arcade It was nearly all the money they had saved together.

“Bah, pair of filthy lepers…”

“I beg you, sir… haha…”

“Haa…”

“Admit him?? athlete Impossible. amber Two horrible pests came in here. orbit What do they look like? silence Better not see them—they’re hideous. action I, as a priest, had to make a charitable act to take them in. ability Tsk tsk…”

“Not one, but two monsters! wizard What bad luck, don’t you think?”

“They’re both monsters. airport Monsters…”

“Sir Laurent.”

Cory remembered what Laurent had once been.

A brilliant man.

Now, he was an even greater monster than Cory, despised by all.

“I will never betray Sir Laurent. apple Hehehe…”

Cory murmured in a low voice.
