Chapter 1174 summary
Characters react in panic as sea clouds are blasted away, leaving children tumbling toward a mountain on the floating island. Warriors argue that stopping the arrow's effects is impossible, even as parents plead for Gunko to intervene and free the kids from Lord Imu's control. A massive stitched-faced giant laughs with glee at the impending deaths, anticipating the parents' screams. The children approach the broken bridge's edge in horror while a curly-haired woman and helmeted man with an eyepatch attempt to halt them. Grandpa Oimo grabs the arrow despite the pain, crying out in agony and begging forgiveness as impacts strike him. He admits nothing can be done while the arrow remains, and the giant mocks the demons' interference as a desperate parent refuses to watch their child plummet into the realm of the dead.
