"Quack?"
The Stone Frog was taken aback for a moment, unperturbed that its strike had missed. It was just a protective shield, after all.
Without hesitation, it switched its "fire" and began bombarding the altar's vicinity with red marbles.
"Boom boom boom..."
Amidst the successive blasts, the altar was directly shattered, and the Divine Pen above finally fell from the lampstand, soaring into the rising dust.
The Stone Frog focused its gaze and quickly spotted traces of the Divine Pen on the ground. Without delay, it spat out another red marble, aiming straight for the Divine Pen.
However, the anticipated scene where the Divine Pen would be engulfed in an explosion didn't happen. The marble hit the Divine Pen but passed through as if it had struck something illusory, crashing into the wall behind and exploding in the distance.
"Quack?"
The Stone Frog was stunned, an illusion?
"Meow! Lucky I arrived just in time!" a voice sounded from behind.
