Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5)

The monster, surrounded by several knights, was swinging its limbs, and Donchich roared as he chased Jared.

Yuri acted as if he hadn’t heard.

After killing Dan Socheon, Yuri immediately went in search of the next target.

“Your Highness! palette Give me a hand here!” artist Jared shouted.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Yuri Briol, are you just going to stand there watching?”

On the opposite side, Laurent—who had been thrown to the ground by a punch from the monster but had gotten up with the agility of a cat—spoke to Yuri.

Yuri shook his head.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

And with that, he charged toward the monster.

“I’ll help you, Laurent!”

Jared, still running away, raised his voice in protest.

“Why are you ignoring me?!”

“What the hell does that mean?!”

Yuri still remembered the time when Laurent had followed him everywhere.

“Hang in there as best you can!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Jared muttered bitterly.

“No point living as a good guy damn it…”

Although after going through hardships he had become a bit cheeky, it was precisely because of that that Yuri held him in higher regard.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Die, Donchich!”

“Uooohhh!”

The anger Yuri had sparked in Jared exploded against the enemy. afford He stopped running and lunged at Donchich.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

At that moment, Jose appeared.

“Jared! riddle I’ll help you!”

“Hmph! ability I’m one of those with great compassion! silence I can’t just pass by when I see someone in trouble!”

“Sir Jose! anxiety You’re different!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“For now, fine.”

“Let’s go!”

“Ah… right…”

Jared grimaced awkwardly at Jose’s compassionate gaze.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

When the scattered forces of the Anti-Imperial Alliance regrouped, the monster and Donchich were clearly at a disadvantage.

“Finish them!”

With Dan Socheon’s fall, Yuri, Jose, and Moyongchan were now free to act.

The Anti-Imperial Alliance began to overwhelm the Empire’s momentum.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

The monster, which had been shredded by Yuri, also began to move more sluggishly.

Donchich collapsed.

Finally, Jose managed to deal a fatal wound to Donchich while Jared kept him distracted.

“Attack in coordination!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

In that fierce battle, the Anti-Imperial Alliance seemed to have taken the lead.

From time to time it swung an arm to intimidate, but it could no longer change the course of the battle.

Not only them—the entire imperial army was retreating.

“It’s our victory!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Kill them all!”

“Charge!”

“Don’t leave anyone from the Empire alive!”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

But Yuri, instead of joy, felt a growing unease at seeing it fall.

The gigantic body of the monster began to tilt slowly.

Moyongchan, noticing his expression, came closer.

“What’s bothering you?”

“Strange to hear you speak the continental language so well.”

Yuri looked at him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t you think it’s odd?”

“Shut up.”

“I don’t know…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“This isn’t over.”

Yuri spoke with certainty.

Moyongchan stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

If this battle had been of great importance to him, he wouldn’t have abandoned his army like this.

And yet Cedric had not appeared.

It had been a grueling battle.

He would have come to the front to lead them, or used the demonic grimoire to unleash black magic—somehow, he would have intervened.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Moyongchan shook his head.

“Maybe, but Cedric isn’t someone to stop here.”

“Maybe you’re overestimating the enemy. matrix Black magic isn’t an easy power to wield; even Cedric might have pushed himself too far. orbit Think… who would have imagined you’d do this well?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Maybe he doesn’t need them anymore.”

Many imperial soldiers were dead, and most of their key forces were out of action.

“The Empire has mobilized every one of the Ten Greats it could, and Dan Socheon is dead. accent They’ve already deployed all their strength.”

It could be seen as an achievement of the Anti-Imperial Alliance. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

At those words, Moyongchan looked toward the distant horizon.

“Yes… could be. amber We’ll know when we reach Zveta.”

But it could also mean that Cedric had acquired something so powerful he no longer required them.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“You think so?”

The soldiers controlled by black magic didn’t even attempt to flee.

As they spoke, the battlefield was clearing.

The last remnants of imperial resistance were extinguished.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Even if it was all part of Cedric’s plan, his duty didn’t change.

“I’m going to help our troops.”

With that, Yuri rushed at the remaining imperials.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

And the allies revived by Inariel also returned to their rest.

To reduce their own casualties, Yuri kept cutting down enemies until the end.

When the energy of black magic dissipated, the dead became nothing more than simple corpses again.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

The soldiers’ cheers echoed like a resounding chorus.

The monster was nothing but a heap of limp flesh scattered across the ground, and Donchich and Dan Socheon were dead with their hearts pierced through.

The victory of the Anti-Imperial Alliance was assured.

When the situation was under control, Yuri returned to the center of the battlefield, where the bodies of the monster, Donchich, and Dan Socheon lay.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“What is it?”

Yuri examined the corpses.

Then Laurent approached.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“You think so too?”

“I feel like this isn’t over.”

“Of course not. agent Did you really think it would end so easily?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Of course.”

Laurent was someone who had personally met Cedric and suffered from black magic. agent That was why he had gone through painful times.

He looked at him calmly.

“Because I met Cedric.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

He gave Yuri a light punch to the chest.

Laurent’s words, far from discouraging him, gave Yuri strength. auction He wasn’t the only one preparing for the worst.

“Stay alert, Yuri Briol. accent The truly hard part hasn’t come yet.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Are you crazy?”

“Yuri Briol, you—”

Yuri wrapped an arm around Laurent’s neck and ruffled his hair, to which Laurent tried to punch him in the side. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. atom Yuri dodged the blow and let go.

“This guy…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“You don’t have time to be mad at me.”

“I think it’s about time.”

“What?”

Just as Yuri spoke, the sky darkened.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“This is…”

Over that desolate land, where the living barely stood and the dead lay still, a black shadow spread.

The sudden change made everyone look upward.

The sun that lit the battlefield was covered.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

It was a tower reaching into the heights.

Yuri, hand on his hip, raised his gaze to the sky.

It wasn’t clouds that were covering the sun.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

The base of the tower wasn’t visible. abstract It seemed to emerge suddenly from the air, stretching above a hazy mist, while a malignant energy poured down like a rainstorm.

When he had come into contact with the demonic grimoire, in the midst of the deep red that filled his mind, he had seen an unfamiliar tower with eyes upon it rising.

Yuri had seen it before.

Now, it had manifested in reality.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Yuri fixed his gaze on the tower.

Living beings instinctively stepped back.

And the tower’s eyes were looking at him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

The man he had once respected most, and now hated most.

He murmured the name.

Those eyes seemed like his gaze.

“Cedric.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

All eyes turned beyond the tower.

Then, someone spoke.

At its peak, where it blocked the sun, a crack was beginning to open.

“Up there… at the top of the tower… the sky…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Within it, something moved.

A black deeper than jet.

An unfathomable void.

Like an earthquake shattering the earth’s crust, the sky fractured and, within it, appeared an abyssal darkness.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Ah…”

Above the sky that covered the world, there was another sky—greater and deeper still.

All who looked upon the scene understood. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Had those beings been watching the earth all along?

And there floated beings impossible for humans to imagine.

Yuri’s expression twisted.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Cedric, you damned lunatic…”

Whatever it was, if it descended, the world would fall into absolute darkness, and humanity would be reduced to the level of insects.

Was he, after declaring a new world, planning to bring down something like that?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Yuri let the tip of his sword drop.

This was not an enemy he could stop by effort or risking his life.

His resolve began to falter.

“Ha…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

In contrast, what lay beyond that rift was a transcendental existence—untouchable by humans in the most distant past or farthest future.

Having returned to the past did not make him more than human.

Even the partial presence of that thing paralyzed him.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

There was no way Jared didn’t feel the same crushing pressure he did.

“Jared?”

While Yuri stood frozen, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

At first, Yuri thought he was in a confused state.

And yet, Jared was smiling.

The madness emanating from that darkness was enough to drive any human insane.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“What is it?”

“No, and besides, I have something to tell you.”

“It’s just… you were smiling strangely.”

“What’s with that look?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Your Highness.”

“Thank you.”

Jared squeezed Yuri’s shoulder firmly.

“What?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

He gave a sideways smile.

“At last, this is getting fun. antenna Don’t you think?”

“At last…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

‘Isn’t it boring?’

He had said it to Jared, who at the time had been wasting his life in tedium.

In that instant, Yuri remembered something from long ago.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Yuri gave a bitter smile. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

From that moment, Jared’s life had completely changed.

And now—was Yuri himself falling into despair just because a powerful enemy had appeared?

“I see…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

What he regretted most was not the defeat itself, but having wasted his life, fleeing as a mercenary and believing that misery was a form of atonement.

From the start, he had accepted his defeat.

He had long been prepared to die.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

That’s why he already knew the answer.

“Jared, I see your standard for fun is higher than I thought. matrix I’m impressed.”

Thanks to Jared, he regained his composure.

Yuri took the hand Jared still had on his shoulder.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Ah, that was a slip.”

“What?”

“Of course. atomic I didn’t even bat an eye when I found out Sir Ainzer’s hair is actually a wig.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Ainzer…”

“P-pretend you didn’t hear that.”

“Is that true?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

“Definitely a very manly knight.”

Yuri smiled lightly.

“Exactly.”

“Yes…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Just as he had changed Jared, Jared’s words had also changed him.

“Jared, stay sharp. harbor This is going to get more interesting.”

No matter what kind of being Cedric brought forth, he would never surrender.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Yuri refocused and looked to the sky.

“Of course.”

Now, the entire Anti-Imperial Alliance was silent, staring upward, unable to fully comprehend what was happening.

The morale, which had risen with the recent victory, had vanished.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

[It’s over.]

Everyone instinctively sensed the magnitude of what was unfolding.

Then, a voice resounded.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

With a tone as gentle as greeting an old friend, he continued.

Those words reached the ears of all who watched the rift in the sky.

Yuri recognized the voice immediately—Cedric.

[You have all worked hard. alpha I saw well how you strove to get this far. matrix But in the end, this battle ends in my victory. palette I succeeded, and you failed. harbor This is the result of war.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

No one could reply.

Even though the Anti-Imperial Alliance had won, he declared his victory.

The pressure from the being that had come from outer space crushed the earth.

Perhaps he was right.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

As Cedric spoke, something began to descend from the rift in the sky.

If they had stopped the summoning from the start, things might have been different. atlas But now, with the ritual complete, Cedric held the strongest card.

[I’ll give you one last chance. avalanche You have one month. silence Return to your daily lives, live your own life. anchor I will give you a new era; enjoy your happiness.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

Even if he couldn’t see it, that being was already manifesting on earth.

At that moment, darkness covered everything.

Yuri understood.

[But if you wish to keep fighting, return here.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 283: Heaven Above Heaven (5) by Indra Translations.

And then—

Yuri was in the royal palace of Briol.

Little by little, it dissipated.

“…Huh?”
