Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2)

“If it died and is alive again, it’s a ghost.”

A gleam of red eyes shone in the darkness of the cave.

Yuri spoke hesitantly.

“Hey, since when does a mage just throw around the word ‘ghost’ like that?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Use the technical term.”

“That’s the one.”

“Death Knight?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“I said get up.”

“Mmh… uh…”

“Jared, get up.”

As he said that, Yuri gave Jared a few taps with his foot.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Death Knight!”

“Where am I?! acquire What is this place?!”

After a hard kick to the backside, Jared jolted awake.

He looked around, and upon seeing the Death Knight, he jumped and raised his sword.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Wow…”

“Please step back, Your Highness.”

Yuri calmed him.

“Relax.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

A Death Knight was, literally, a knight who had returned from death. aluminum They were born when a knight with deep grudges was corrupted by demonic energy or tainted by black magic.

“They’re dangerous.”

Jared swallowed nervously, completely tense.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Jared felt confident he could defeat almost any monster, but a Death Knight was another story.

The story of Gert, the knight of Adelvine, who resurrected and destroyed an entire kingdom, was well known.

“No.”

When a knight died and turned into a Death Knight, their strength surpassed what they had in life.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry.”

“How do you know?”

“That one’s not dangerous.”

Yuri took a few steps forward.

“That’s very naive, Your Highness.”

“It wouldn’t make sense for a guardian of the founder’s dungeon to attack his direct descendant, Yuri Briol.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Who would’ve thought a sword buried so deeply could be raised so easily?

Yuri had felt a strange sense of confidence ever since he took up the sword.

“We’ll see.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Isn’t that right?”

That Death Knight wasn’t a guard to block his path—it was a guide come to greet the heir of Briol.

Even when he fell into the underground, he felt like the dark dungeon had welcomed him with open arms.

[No.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

A sharp flash cut through the air.

“……!”

The Death Knight raised his sword.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Wow… His Highness just got split in half…”

“Watch your mouth.”

“Wow… His Highness’s bangs just got split in half…”

Hernand muttered in despair,

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Really not a welcome?”

Yuri’s bangs had been blown upward by the gust.

[Actually, it is.]

Same as when he fought Jared. avalanche His bangs never had peace.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Arrogant? meadow Me?”

His voice was deep and rough, as if it rose from the depths of the cave.

The Death Knight replied.

[Your arrogant attitude just annoyed me.]

[Erich.]

“What guy?”

[Just like that guy.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

It was a name every citizen of Briol knew.

“Oh…”

Hernand let out a gasp.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m the first to arrive here?”

Erich Briol. acid Founder of House Briol, the first king of the Kingdom of Briol, and an unmatched swordsman who conquered the continent with a single blade.

[Yes.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Don’t tell me this sword is the founder’s legendary blade…”

“Only Erich’s descendants can reach this place?”

[If you’re not a Briol heir, you can’t unsheathe that sword.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri flinched and threw the sword.

[It was the sword he used.]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Then the Death Knight turned around. arch His tattered cloak fluttered like a rag.

[If you’re going to use it, use it. zenith It’s no longer mine.]

“No, it’s just… I shouldn’t touch someone else’s stuff like that… I wasn’t thinking.”

[Are you upset because it was mine?]

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Are you sure? aluminum We could go back and report to His Majesty…”

“Let’s follow him.”

Yuri picked up the sword again and muttered:

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s dangerous.”

“We’re going now.”

Yuri shook his head.

“No.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“And how do you plan to get out of here?”

“You think that skeleton…”

“Huh?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Jared asked the Death Knight directly.

Yuri froze, surprised. accent Luckily, he didn’t seem to have heard.

“…Would just let us leave?”

Suddenly, the Death Knight turned around.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

His red eyes flared intensely.

[You think this is a corner store where you come and go as you please?]

“Death Knight, we’d like to come back another time. admire Is that okay?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“S-Sorry…”

[You think I waited all this time just to crack jokes with you? adopt Is this a game to you?]

Jared couldn’t bear the pressure and stammered,

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“You chickened out.”

He stuttered twice.

Yuri smiled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Hernand, who usually only looked out for himself, had stayed quiet since the Death Knight appeared, but upon seeing Jared scolded, he chuckled.

“Sure you did.”

“No, I did it for your safety, Your Highness.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Y-Y-Yes, sorry.”

“Ugh…”

“Quiet, Sir Hernand.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Jared sighed. arcade These two couldn’t take anything seriously.

“L-L-Let’s go already.”

Hernand hummed cheerfully.

“All thanks to me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Haa…”

“Of course.”

Watching Hernand’s excited back and the prince’s resolute steps, Jared wondered how he’d ended up here.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Then suddenly, he was on a mountain, entering a mysterious dungeon.

Did he really belong here?

It had been a normal day after work.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

It was surreal.

Nothing did.

It all started that day.

“None of this makes sense…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

He wanted to work just enough, live peacefully, and retire in time.

Since the third prince asked him to duel, his life had turned upside down.

What Jared wanted from the royal guard wasn’t this.

He had no ambitions. amber And now he was in the dungeon left behind by Briol’s founder?

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hey.”

It felt like his destiny had been altered, swept away by the storm that young man stirred up.

Yuri, who was walking ahead, turned around.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“You going to make us wait?”

It was dark. adjust Except for the faint light from the crack, there was no illumination. autumn The silhouette of the prince walking ahead was cloaked in shadow.

Jared took a deep breath.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Tsk, don’t be stupid.’

Yet, when he turned and smiled, his face was strangely clear.

Over that image, another one overlapped. altitude A face covered in blood.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Would the prince look like that when he grew up?

A beautiful man, face drenched in blood, smiling wearily. autumn For a moment, Jared felt like he could give his life for him—and then the feeling vanished.

A fleeting illusion.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

A strange sense of déjà vu.

“You coming?”

His feet wouldn’t move.

Jared didn’t answer.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Truthfully, Jared wanted to.

“Then stay here.”

He didn’t want to be swept away by that reckless prince.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

That’s what the prince had said.

‘Wouldn’t it be boring?’

But if he did.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

In the midst of chaotic, tangled thoughts—

He took a step without realizing it.

Images of a routine life flashed through his mind. adopt And over them appeared the face of the crazy prince who attacked like a storm.

His body moved on its own. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

And once he’d taken that first step, the rest came surprisingly easy.

“Hmm?”

“Your Highness.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m coming.”

Jared smiled back.

“You should’ve followed me from the start.”

Yuri, who was walking ahead, turned and smiled.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“You’re good at making excuses.”

“It’s not an excuse.”

“It’s just… upon reaching such a dark place, I needed a moment for my vision to adjust.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes, sir.”

“Hurry up.”

And so, he ran after the unpredictable third prince.

The Death Knight led Yuri’s group to a large underground chamber.

***

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Murmured the Death Knight. artist Yuri asked,

A massive glowing stone stood atop an altar, emitting an intense bluish light.

“So the day has finally come…?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“You don’t need to know.”

“Is it a good day?”

“What day?”

“Shut your mouth.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“What if the Death Knight suddenly stabs him? autumn What do we do then?”

Hernand whispered in his ear.

From his perspective, watching Yuri chat so casually with a Death Knight was sheer madness.

Jared took a step back.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“If the prince ends up with his head separated from his body, we’re in serious trouble.”

“That’s a pretty extreme assumption.”

“Enough already.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“I said shut it.”

The Death Knight stopped in front of the altar.

“Or if he’s stabbed in the chest, blood spraying everywhere, and you’re running over to give him mouth-to-mouth in tears…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hey, Death Knight.”

Yuri spoke.

When the Death Knight looked at him, Yuri continued.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“And who decided that you’d get the legacy?”

The Death Knight shrugged.

“I am Yuri Briol, descendant of Erich Briol and third prince of the current Briol family. galaxy Hand me his legacy.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Briol, huh…” This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

“I once bore that name, too.”

“I’m a descendant of Briol.”

His red eyes glowed.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Those words carried a heavy weight. anchor Yuri looked at him, puzzled, and Jared and Hernand froze behind him.

Could this Death Knight be Erich Briol himself, the founder of the kingdom?

“Don’t tell me you’re Erich Briol?”

It couldn’t be.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“No.”

“I’d never respect a founder who ended up a sack of bones like you.”

“You scared me…”

Yuri sighed.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yeah, in that way, you really are like him.”

“It runs in the family.”

“You’ve got guts to talk like that.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll give you what you seek.”

“You don’t inspire much confidence, but the time has come, so I’ll fulfill my duty.”

The Death Knight let out a short laugh. amateur It wasn’t exactly pleasant.

“What duty?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Jared sensed something was off and tugged at Yuri’s sleeve. silence Hernand cut in:

The Death Knight sat on the glowing stone. alert A massive wave of mana surged instantly.

“That’s a mana stone. acoustic I didn’t know ones that big existed.”

“Your Highness, step back…”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Yes.”

“Can something that big really exist?”

Mana stones absorbed and stored mana on their own. arena They allowed the use of magic even without personal mana, making them more valuable than diamonds of the same size.

“That thing?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s unreal. arena A stone that size could buy an entire city.”

“Because whatever the founder left behind must be even more valuable than that stone.”

“Then why leave it buried here?”

The Death Knight stared at them.

A heavy silence fell. arrow But the Death Knight didn’t wait for an answer.

“Are you ready?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

As soon as he finished speaking, the mana stone emitted a blinding light. avalanche Everything turned white.

“I hope you’re worthy.”

Yuri shut his eyes.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

A barren, desolate land stretched out before him.

…

They were no longer in the dungeon. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri looked around, bewildered.

All he saw was empty wasteland, the horizon in a perfect line around him.

“Where…?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Hello?”

“Stop, stop!”

He called out.

Suddenly, he saw something approaching in the distance.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Are you the founder?”

But it showed no sign of stopping.

“What is that?”

No, that couldn’t be.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

That’s when Yuri noticed he was also holding a real sword in his hand.

“This…”

It wasn’t human. anchor Its body was translucent, letting the background show through. zenith It had a humanoid shape… but it carried a sword.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t the one from the tomb, but a regular military sword.

As if answering his question, the opponent lunged. alert Yuri blocked the blade.

“Am I supposed to fight?”

A simple, direct fight began.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

That energy pulsed from the heart and flowed through the body, linking to the sword.

Something changed. anxiety Within the translucent body of his opponent, a bluish energy began to glow.

“Huh…?”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Yuri understood.

Each time their swords clashed, the heart beat, and the blue energy swelled and contracted in rhythm.

Clang!

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“Mana Method…”

Through its transparent body, the mana flow was clearly visible.

The Dummy was deliberately exposing itself, circling around Yuri.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

The only silver lining was that the Dummy was holding back. meadow With a gesture over its heart, it displayed the mana flow extending throughout its body with a blue glow.

The founder of the Kingdom of Briol had clearly been an absolute madman.

“Does he expect me to learn by fighting directly?”

Yuri finally grasped it. amateur The swordsmanship, the mana method, the combat style—it was all Erich Briol’s.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

“…Ha…”

An absurd demand. acid No one could do that… unless they were someone living a second life.

This training was clearly designed for someone who didn’t have one yet. alien And still, it demanded that you feel it and use it on the spot.

A mana method that becomes part of your body can’t be easily changed.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

Pure mana filled the space.

Yuri sat down on the ground.

“Like me.”

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

He tried to replicate what he had just seen. attic A child with no training manipulating mana like a seasoned knight. arctic Even for a Dummy, it must’ve been shocking.

“That’s how it was…”

Yuri began to absorb it. amateur In his previous life, he’d studied mana methods thoroughly to hide his identity, so he was confident in handling it.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

The Dummy was frozen, elbows raised, one hand pointing to the sky, the other to the ground. echo Its mouth seemed wide open.

“…!”

Yuri glanced at it.

Translation of Rise of the Fallen Kingdom’s Third Prince - Chapter 6: The Ancestor’s Legacy (2) by Indra Translations.

An impressively expressive reaction.
