Chapter 940: Return Of The Prince [Part 2]
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. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
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.
Princess Ariel had just used her Healing Song, which had an area of effect that spanned two miles.
This immediately healed the minor injuries that the armies had received from the battle, as well as helped stabilize the condition of those who had suffered moderate to serious injuries.
Although the seven Krakens were strong, they were fighting against an Army that numbered in the millions.
After the initial surprise and fear had subsided, the army launched a full counter-attack, cutting off the Krakens' tentacles and dealing serious injuries to their bodies.
The Ocean Races' Army was like a swarm of ants that covered their prey, using their weapons to stab, slash, and hack the Krakens' bodies.
Knowing that they couldn't last any longer, the Elder Kraken used its special move and unleashed a pitch-black ink that blocked everyone's views.
The other Krakens did the same, and soon, the entire battlefield was covered in darkness. No one could see their own hands due to the cloud of black ink that had spread throughout the battlefield, preventing anyone from knowing which way was left, right, back, and front.
Princess Wilhelmina, who was at the center of it all, didn't panic and raised her shield above her head.
The shield then spun in a counter-clockwise motion, creating a reverse twister that dispersed the black ink outward.
Although she wasn't as strong as Illumina when it came to overall firepower, that didn't mean that Princess Wilhelmina was lacking in the fighting power and strategy department.
As someone who specialized in defense, she had already encountered many situations similar to this, so she knew what to do.
But just as she thought that she would be able to disperse the darkness around her, she realized that the ink cloud only retreated a few meters.
She hadn't been able to fully dispel it, which made her frown.
Suddenly, her sixth sense kicked in, warning her that something dangerous was approaching her direction.
Without any hesitation, Princess Wilhelmina raised her shield to her right side, covering her entire body.
A second later, a blue beam of light hit her shield then shattered into countless blue particles. But it didn't end there. A magical barrage targeted the soldiers that were trapped inside the Ink Cloud, rendering them helpless to the attacks that were raining on them without mercy.
Hearing the cries around her, Princess Wilhelmina greeted her teeth, and expanded the range of her shield.
A hundred-meter-wide red barrier appeared in front of her, tanking the barrage that was coming in a certain direction.
Princess Ariel, who was outside the Ink Cloud, continued to sing, while the Manta King, as well as the other Kings, chanted a spell that dispersed the Ink Cloud completely.
When everyone regained their vision, they all gazed in the direction where the magical barrage was coming from.
At first, they thought that it was coming from the Kingdom of Saphirus. But they were wrong. The attacks had come from the left side of the battlefield, and when they finally saw what was attacking them, Princess Wilhelmina's and Princess Ariel's faces became grim.
A giant city wrapped in a transparent dome was moving in their direction.
The countless magical cannons within the city were firing non-stop, forcing the army to retreat to a safer position.
"Raise the barriers!" Prince Baltic ordered.
Soon, the Ocean Army activated their defensive formations, resisting the barrage that was coming from the city that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
At first, everyone was just staring at it. However, at the next second, several gasps emerged from the lips of the Kings and Queens, as well as the Elders of the Ocean Races.
Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel also gasped in surprise, having recognized the floating city that had stopped its magical bombardment.
King Betram, who was right beside his daughter, Illumina, couldn't help but look at the city in shock.
How could he possibly not recognize the ancient city that was once the most powerful kingdom in the seas of Midgard?
Standing tall in front of the forgotten city was a handsome young man with long blue hair that fluttered behind his back.
He was holding the Sea God's Trident in his hand and looking at the enemy with a fearless look on his face.
"Atlantis..." Princess Wilhelmina muttered.
She had once seen the portrait of the beautiful city where Queen Celestia and King Arariel used
to live.
And right now, that scene in the painting was right in front of her, making her feel a shiver run down her spine.
The Kings, Queens, and the Elders of the Ocean Races had once personally visited the Kingdom of Atlantis, so they instantly understood that they were seeing the real thing.
The forgotten city that had disappeared from the face of the world had once again returned, which only meant one thing.
King Betram hovered above his Kingdom and cupped his hands, facing the young man who had saved his kingdom from destruction.
"Welcome back, Your Highness!" King Betram shouted, snapping everyone from their daze. "All hail the Prince of Atlantis!"
"Welcome back, Your Highness," Illumina joined her father and bowed toward Ethan. "All
Hail!"
The soldiers and the citizens of Saphirus, cheered in unison.
"""All Hail!"""
"""Long live the Prince of Atlantis!"""
Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel glanced at each other in surprise.
Both of them were smart women.
Ethan had faced King Oceanus earlier, and both of them disappeared at the same time.
The young man had returned, but the Ocean King was nowhere to be found, which only meant
one thing.
"All Hail his Highness!" Princess Wilhelmina shouted.
"Long Live the Prince of Atlantis!" Princess Ariel declared.
The subordinates of the two Princesses were startled, but after seeing their leaders hail the
young man, all of them also raised their weapons and cheered.
"""All Hail!"""
"""Long live the Prince of Atlantis!"""
There were still others who had no intention of acknowledging the young man as the Prince of
Atlantis.
However, a powerful pressure descended upon the Armies of the Ocean Races, making them
shudder.
A pair of gigantic eyes emerged from behind the City of Atlantis.
Soon, the body of a giant Sea Serpent emerged, making those who refused to acknowledge
Ethan all fall down to their knees in submission.
The power of a Progenitor washed across everyone, making them lose any thought of opposing the young man, whose gaze had locked on the Prince of the Nagas, making the latter feel as if he was being stared at by the Grim Reaper himself.
