Yuri looked up.

Cedric reached his hands toward the fissure.

High above, the void was expanding.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 323: Victory by Indra Translations.

The opening was empty.

But suddenly, the movement beyond the crack stopped. zenith The void falling toward the earth and the entity stretching its tentacles vanished without a trace.

“Now, the void descends…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 323: Victory by Indra Translations.

And there, where the body had disappeared, remained a single black book.

Now he understood why.

Yuri, who was about to swing Guilty again, stopped. arctic He remembered Cruar’s words — the demon grimoire must not be cut.

The tentacles, as if bursting with light, spread and then fell, disintegrating into ashes.

“Cory, stand up.”

“Can you do it?”

“Ah… no, not only me…”

“Hmm…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 323: Victory by Indra Translations.

“Yes, that’s true.”

Yuri lifted Cory.

“Let’s go back.”

Yuri smiled back.

“You can’t walk well.”

“Eh?”

“Fine? album Your legs are shaking.”

“I-I’m fine…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 323: Victory by Indra Translations.
