A Merman fighting valiantly at the frontlines suddenly found himself within the grasp of a tentacle that latched onto him from behind.
He roared as he slashed his sword at the tentacle, but he had only managed to deal a shallow cut on its surface.
As if annoyed by the Merman’s futile struggle, the Kraken tightened his grip around the Merman, intending to crush his opponent.
Suddenly, something flew past the tentacle, and a second later, the part that was holding the Merman was cut in half.
A red shield with razor-sharp edges made a U-Turn and once again slashed the remaining tentacle, making the Kraken scream in pain.
Princess Wilhelmina caught the shield in her hand, just in time to block the Kraken’s powerful blow.
Runes appeared on the red shield’s surface, creating a barrier that resisted the Kraken’s attack.
At that moment, a beautiful song reached Princess Wilhelmina’s ears, which made her sigh in relief.
