I would pay a princess’s ransom for a rescue like that. That’s the dream!

True, my thoughts also immediatly went to Toast Knight, but upon revisiting Swords | DCIII - Toast Of The Town, the swords seem too thin.

It’s probably the Dream Princess, but these blades sort of resemble katanas, andI think it could also be the Mysterious Human (one of Argok’s avatar/demigods), who guards the one-eyed demon.

But again, just going by the swords and the text color, it’s definitely the Dream Princess.

Interesting idea with the Mysterious Human, though I’m inclined to agree about the Dream Princess. She’s the only one I know of who has a sword with two parallel blades.

“Camera” movement! First in panel three we see things from behind the Sprout, to show the Demon Sword swinging down at him, and the interloper’s voice comes from our right (the Sprout’s right, the Demon’s left); and in panel four we see the Sprout from the front, to show him bracing for impact, so the swords come in from our left (which is still the Sprout’s right and the Demon’s left). Cutting across the line of action like that is a faux-pas in cinematography precisely because it’s somewhat confusing, but with three actors coming from three directions stuff gets kinda tricky.

The Argok Demigods speak in fully yellow text bubbles, while the Dream Princess is this more orange outline. But I still think the Mysterious Human is going to get involved soon.
