NOVPUBLitty fights against Violent Captain Ghost
The difference in strength between Litty and Captain Cleaver was obvious: Litty was fighting better than Roma, but Litty’s fresh wounds were increasing at an accelerated rate.
However, the biggest issue was the limitation on the use of the Saint Weapon Enchantment, which granted Holy Attribute to her weapon, something Litty could not use at all times with her limited magical power.
However, an instantaneous burst to minimize her use of magic power, just like what she did when she defeated the young undead man, would not be enough to defeat a strong man like Cleaver.
“Tsk…!”
“It’s no use…!”
“Taaa!”
“Give up!”
Litty realized that it was the same voice that had spoken into her brain after boarding the ship.
“…? Mirai-chan!” (Roma)
“I don’t want you to die, Master…all of you…” (Mirai)
Roma, whose wounds were completely healed by Mirai in no time, questioned Mirai’s unfathomable healing magic, but was thankful for now.
Roma immediately joined the fight against Cleaver, but if she simply attacked him directly, she would only end up getting a counterattack.
Cleaver’s fighting prowess had left a deep impression on Roma, making her unusually nervous facing him. Realizing her state, Roma took a deep breath to calm herself down. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Even the strongest dancers have a rhythm. She believed in what she had learned at the Dancers’ Guild.
The more she watched, the more she saw Cleaver’s ability firsthand, but Litty was the catalyst.
“Wait and see….”
Roma took a few steps and let her body get used to it. Little by little, bit by bit. Relaxing in this situation, she finally processed the moves.
Because of Litty, Cleaver was showing a slight opening. Nevertheless, the damage to Litty was accumulating.
Even Litty, as expected, could not react to Cleaver’s onslaught of blows as she didn’t have sufficient time to process all of his movements. Sometimes she had to evade by luck.
“X-Piece Waltz…”
Roma tapped her feet as she started her steps and circled around Litty and Cleaver, Cleaver immediately noticed something odd.
Litty’s movements felt like they had become more nimble, but that was not the case at all.
“You Woman!”
Roma’s dance had boosted the morale of the party. She moved around the edges of Cleaver’s field of vision, keeping a good distance from him.
However, Roma’s exquisite movements made Cleaver feel that she was about to attack, breaking his concentration.
When would she make a move? Cleaver was faintly wary. To Litty, however, even the smallest opening was an opportunity, like a needle in a haystack.
And soon enough, Cleaver was forced to make an opening.
“Spiral dance!”
“…?!”
The incomplete rotation Litty learned during her Rank 4 promotion test, which she also used when fighting Nils, was now nearing perfection, taking advantage of her physical strength while incorporating Roma’s dance moves. She increased the number of her moves and attacked Cleaver more intensely than ever.
“Why…”
Cleaver had no idea. In his experience, Litty’s accumulated damage must be approaching a fatal level.
This battle was supposed to end soon. But in fact, even though Litty was bleeding, she was still attacking him at full power.
“Why, you can’t defeat me!”
Cleaver’s rage manifested as skill. A sword technique that could theoretically disintegrate any living creature.
It was a skill of Cleaver’s former job as a sword master.
“Vertical Slicer!”
Not only did it target the body, but also the target’s vital points. In that era, this skill was deemed as Unavoidable.
