NOVPUBLitty already knew that the young man was an undead, but she was still surprised by the sudden transformation.
Although Litty had minimal knowledge of the undead, what she did know was that mere physical attacks were ineffective against them.
“Kid, I envy you…” (???)
The young man approached Litty with a speed that didn’t match his huge body.
After evading him, Litty counterattacked with her sword, but that didn’t do much damage.
There was no way he had any sense of pain, and the wound from the attack had already recovered, as if it had never been there.
Litty concentrated on eliminating any unnecessary movement, and the only way that Litty could damage him was by using Saint Weapon Enchantment that she learned from Ilysis.
Litty’s limited magical power made it not as sustainable or powerful as Roma’s, so she had to be careful how she used it.
In other words, she had to strike at the right moment.
Even if she were to use it here to defeat the young man, she needed to deliver it in a single decisive blow. Not knowing what threats she may face lurking around the corner, she could not simply use her magic power wastefully.
So Litty’s response was…
“Please don’t interfere with my dream. I’m going to follow my dream.” (Litty)
Litty shooed the ghost of the young man away with a strong tone. Then she ignored him and started walking away.
Litty was trying to find out how he, the ghost, would react to this action.
The ghost of the young man extended his arm to attack Litty, who showed her back. However, despite the darkness, Litty dodged the attack without problems.
The darkness on board seemed endless, but Litty was not deterred.
“Giii…why, why, why…!” (???)
The young man’s body swelled even more. His rotten eyes and nose completely buried in flesh, he was nothing more than a lump of meat now. The lump of meat filled up to the ceiling of the hallway and closed in on Litty once more.
“Unfair! Unfair! Unfair!” (???)
As expected, Litty had no choice but to run. Litty concentrated, even though the footholds were unstable in the darkness.
The moment he was about to reach Litty, she moved on to the next foothold. She concentrated all her energy and exerted her physical strength to the fullest.
In the endless corridor, she continued to run and run, and the ghost of the young man loomed behind her.
–Give up!
No matter whose voice it was, Litty did not stop.
–You can’t get out anyway.
She wouldn’t stop.
–You’re going to die here.
There’s no way she was going to die, she thought.
“Myan! We’ll have some meat when we get out of here!” (Litty)
“…Myan!”
Litty tapped Myan’s listless head. Myan, who was dazed, responded to her.
Litty took the one-handed spear out of Myan’s mouth and turned on her heel. Litty’s unhesitating blow was then unleashed against the approaching ghost of the young man.
“Saint Thrust!” (Litty)
A flash of light illuminated the darkness. At that moment, the young man’s huge face was pierced through.
Soon, light engulfed the young man’s whole body.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah! Aaaaaaah! Aaaaah daaaaah! Noooooooooo!” (???)
The light swallowed the young man’s ghost completely, as if it were devouring him.
At the same time, the brightness within the dark interior of the ship slightly increased, allowing Litty to properly navigate her surroundings.
“It worked…” (Litty)
Her plan worked better than expected.
