NOVPUBUnidentifiable seaweed and parasitic creatures clinging to rusty lamps. The floor was missing in places, and an abyss of darkness spread through the gaping holes.
At the same time, a pungent smell filled their nostrils, causing Roma and the others to involuntarily hold their breath for a moment.
“Aquaria… perhaps you have already noticed it before we did. About this ship, and the identity of something lurking underneath it…. That’s why I borrowed a little of your power…”
“…A Brilliant move.”
Soon enough, the true identity of the ship had been revealed, as well as the shimmering black shadows approaching them were also identified.
The same went for the ones crawling out of the rotting darkness of the cabin.
“It is the work of an Exorcist to hear the voices of the undead and then purify them…. We don’t have the means to do that. So we should thank Ilysis-san for teaching us that spell…”
“Seriously, is that person some kind of God who could predict the future?”
Roma pulled out her sword and chanted briefly. Soon, her sword’s blade was enveloped in white, shining light that was not too strong to the eyes. She used Saint Weapon Enchantment to grant Holy Attribute to her weapon.
“A weapon with Holy Attribute…. Using Saint Weapon Enchantment is not a long-lasting or effective solution with my little magic power, but it’s much better than nothing.”
Roma ruminates over Ilysis’s words in her heart.
–The sea can be a scary place.
“Really… If it’s this scary, how can someone even voyage through it?”
Roma then started to dance in a rhythm. At the same time, she also tried to read her enemy’s rhythm. When she cut into one of the shadows, it dispersed and disappeared with a deafening yell. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
It was like a scream, and Roma almost felt sorry for them.
“Holy attribute is surprisingly effective. I’m sorry to do this, but if you’re going to get in our way, I will have to erase you like this.”
Roma thrust her sword into the head of the decomposing human who crawled out of the darkened cabin with only the upper half of his body left. As the body melted, the decomposing human disappeared, soaking into the floor.
“Kuufa-chan, let’s run for now! Litty has to be around here somewhere!”
“Ah…”
As the group was about to run, Baroque was standing in front of them. He was smiling just as vivaciously as when they first met.
Roma was about to say something, but she swallowed them, wondering if her words meant anything.
There was a bruise on Baroque’s neck, which slowly darkened. His neck was broken, and he was in a prone position.
“If there’s anything you don’t understand…”
“Baroque-san! You’re already dead!”
The broken neck stretched out like a snake made of rotten meat and hit the floor. He fell to the floor on all fours, his head convulsing violently. Then a muddy stream of blood poured out of his mouth.
After rubbing his head against the blood, he leaped at them with his eyeballs almost popping out of his head.
“Why you guys… ahhh…”
At that moment, Roma noticed their intentions. She understood what they were feeling and what they were trying to do.
It was clearly expressed in the form of hostility. That was why the ghost of Baroque had invited X-Piece to the ghost ship.
And Baroque was not the only enemy; X-Piece needed to conquer this huge ghost ship if they wanted to survive.
“Master…”
“Mirai, don’t be scared, I promise to protect you!”
Mirai’s body was then enveloped by High Rank Water Magic – Cold Mother.
