NOVPUBLitty had heard something similar before. The Skarb Queen had said the same thing that time when it was about to die.
A tragedy before reaching his longed-for goal. Cleaver must have gone out to sea prepared to face death, and yet instead, he ended up in such an ugly state. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
“Cleaver-san…. This is your last adventure….” (Litty)
As a fellow adventurer, Litty felt a need to put an end to Cleaver’s unresolved feelings and refusal to accept death.
“You, fight me… to get the vessel…”
Mirai was doing her best to heal Litty, but her breathing was labored.
“Haah… haah…”
“Mirai-chan…. You don’t have to push yourself…. I’ve recovered enough…” (Litty)
Mirai, who had just learned magic, used healing magic several times in a short period of time.
Litty supported Mirai with one hand after she strained her body. It was not a complete recovery, but Litty recovered enough to stand up.
“My vessel is not easy to get… You must defeat me. Let’s fight to the end… with no regrets.” (Litty)
Countless swords were aimed at X-Piece, and Kuufa took up a defensive stance with High Rank Water Magic – Cold Mother.
Litty, who was still partially wounded, defended against the oncoming sword blows but was unable to counterattack, for Litty’s magic power had long since run out.
The same was true for Roma, so they could only rely on Kuufa to attack him.
“Yiiiiiih! Give! Give me! I am the best adventurer in the world!”
“You are not the best in the world! There are many people stronger than you!” (Litty)
Saying so, Litty thought of Ilysis and Redner. No matter how she envisioned it, in her current state, she couldn’t see any way for her to beat those two in combat.
However, even though Litty had run out of magic power, she did not feel like she would lose against current Cleaver.
“Even with so many more arms, you’re still weaker! Much weaker than before!” (Litty)
“I am, I am the world’s ocean… Captain… Cleaver!”
“Long after you were alive, stronger people have been born! They have grown up and become stronger because of what you left behind!” (Litty)
“I am…Cap…tain!”
Litty had a grasp of who Captain Cleaver was. The spirit of the old woman had told her about him as well as requested her to help him.
“Do you remember! Your lover, whom you left behind because you will be on a dangerous journey! Even though she has now become a ghost, she is still waiting for your return! No matter what news she heard, she continued to wait for you until the very end! But because you won’t look back and accept your failure, that dead person will never be able to find you!” (Litty)
“Ju, lie…”
“I will end your adventure here so that you can meet Julie-san!” (Litty)
Litty sets her eyes on one of the myriad arms. Grabbing that hand, she forcefully swung her sword at it. The fleshy monster ignored the attack, but Litty delivered another swing.
In the process, the arm Litty had grabbed was detached.
“This is your sword! It is the most precious thing you have acquired in your adventures!” (Litty)
Litty held the Moses Edge in her hand. A sword that could slay formless things. That included the undead, of course. But the effect was not that great.
After cutting it down as much as she could, the flesh monster still tried to return to its original form.
“Julie… Julie… julieeeee!”
Its countless hands waved around as if to show its struggles. Litty did her best to block its rampage, but then suddenly Moses Edge burst into a blinding light. Dazzled by the bright light, Litty closed her eyes.
“This is…?” (Litty)
“Mirai!” (Kuufa)
Although Litty could not see, she understood that it was thanks to Mirai because of Kuufa’s voice.
Litty imagined what Mirai looked like earlier, although worried about her current condition, she was grateful for giving her a final push.
“It’s our adventure from now on! Thank you for everything!” (Litty)
Opening her eyes, she delivered her final blow enchanted by light which enveloped Cleaver.
