Chapter 136: Corallume City Is Under Attack

Rythen doesn't move. He tightens his grip on his spear but stays rooted in place, his sharp eyes tracking the Kharaksa leader. Around him, the clash of battle rages on, yet his focus never wavers.

The captain steps forward, his sword drawn, facing the monstrous leader alone. His voice cuts through the noise. "You think you can waltz into my city and take it?" he growls. "You'll have to go through me first."

The Kharaksa leader doesn't respond, its glowing eyes fixed on the captain. It lunges, its sickle arm cleaving through the water with lethal precision.

The captain sidesteps, his sword flashing as it deflects the blow. Sparks scatter through the water, illuminating the grim determination on his face. He counters with a powerful slash, his blade striking the creature's armored side but failing to penetrate.
