The Limping Walker's tentacles, capable of tearing even the Void, reached out. It seemed that in the next second, after destroying their souls, it would also grind their bodies into dust.
Just then, a figure surged forward. Before the tentacles arrived, he placed a Great Shield in front of everyone, facing the Limping Walker with unyielding resolve.
It was then that a voice finally came through.
"Don't be afraid, stand behind me."
They had no time to mourn their collapse. The next to arrive on the battlefield was the Lord of Hamlet—Lance!
The Limping Walker's twisted tentacles touched the Great Shield. Under the terrifying force, the Great Shield deformed instantly.
