With the agility of a silver flash, an imposing female figure appeared out of nowhere, cutting sharply between the two elf children and the little blue Slime, her right hand already resting on the hilt of a long sword gleaming with delicately inscribed magic runes.
The newcomer was an elite elf knight, wearing polished silver plate armor that gleamed under the sunlight, bearing the official emblem of Thalendor's imperial guard.
She kept her body tense and her sharp eyes fixed on Lohan with obvious caution, while using her left arm to gently push the princes back, shielding the children from the unknown monster.
Even sensing that monster was far weaker than she was, it was still shocking to run into such a powerful Slime, which put her even more on edge.
