Before Riemann could even react, an emerald-green poison arrow shot through the air and struck the hidden Mermaid Divine Chosen with flawless precision.
"Ugh…"
A muffled groan escaped her lips.
The Mermaid Divine Chosen, who had remained concealed behind the army in a blue robe without ever revealing herself, was pierced clean through the lung.
She collapsed to the ground with a thud as blood streamed from the wound. She could no longer maintain her human form, and a massive mermaid tail replaced her slender white legs.
The sight left Riemann's group completely stunned.
Even Shelley was distracted for a brief moment, allowing the Executioner to seize the opportunity. A brutal kick sent her crashing to the ground, and the enormous executioner's blade came crashing down toward her.
At the critical moment, however, the Executioner caught sight of the greatsword behind Phield.
A sudden, inexplicable sense of dread welled up inside her, causing her to withdraw her weapon.
