The Tyrant Digger immediately started digging a hole. Litty tried to ease the girl’s tension during such a short window of time.

“What is your name, please?”

“Ku, Kuufa…”

“Kuufa-san… I could only do this to calm you down.”

“Eh…hifu.”

Litty hugged Kuufa. Litty simply followed what Ilysis did to Litty before. When Litty had felt the warmth of Ilysis, she felt more comfortable and at ease.

Litty wanted to reassure Kuufa in this short period of time by expressing her warmth in the form of a hug.

“Wa, wah…”

“Kuufa-san, can you summon the Demon in this state?”

“Ye, yeah.”

As Kuufa finished her short chant, the Demon emerged in a whirlpool of energy, tail first; the Demon yawned, its face distorted slightly as it looked at the two of them, and then it turned to Kuufa and said.

“Hey, hey, Kuufa. What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Ah…!”

Kuufa rushed to move away from Litty. At the same time, the sound of shattering of the cave walls could be heard again. The Demon looked at the mole, but did not attack it.

“Kuufa-san! Ask the Demon to attack!”

“I did, a Violation…”

Litty boldly moved around and attacked, but the mole’s defense was still very strong. Then the tip of a long nail grazed Litty’s side, causing her to bleed.

“Aggghh…!”

“Ahhhh…!”

“Kuufa-san…tell Demon…to…”

“Ba, Baphomet! Attack!”

The Demon, called Baphomet, glanced at Kuufa and Litty, looking bored. At this moment, Litty realized.

This Demon was not under Kuufa’s complete control. On the contrary, something felt off.

However, there was no time to think about it. Since Litty could not rely on the Demon, she had to do something about her current situation. Numerous thoughts whirled in her mind as she tried to endure the pain.

“Litty-san… I’m sorry… I’m totally useless…”

“This is also part of an adventure!”

“Eh?”

Litty took on the offensive stance again. Despite the injuries, her movements were still keen. Even so, she could not break through the claw defense and the hard skin of the monster, but Litty saw two opportunities to win.

Suddenly, she stopped attacking and started running again with Kuufa in her arms.

“Wha, wha…”

“We can’t always fight in perfect condition. This time it just happened to be Kuufa-san who can’t fight.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. Now I know how to win.”

“Eh!?”

Without the Wing Shoes, she would not have been able to perform the feat of escaping with one person in her arms.

Litty predicted the giant mole’s next move. It would surely start digging underground again. Then it would sense where they were and reappear before them.

Litty closed her eyes and tried to figure where it would come out, it was now a matter of concentration. The vibrations on the ground gave Litty a rough estimate of the giant mole’s position. Stopping, she set Kuufa down and listened with extreme attention.

“It’s here!”

Litty, after estimating the place where the Giant Mole would come out from, moved to the side where the damaged eye was positioned. When the monster finally revealed itself after digging violently, Litty who was standing on the side of its wounded eye, launched a spiral pierce with her one-handed spear.

It was a high-end spear that Ilysis had bought for her. It went inside the skull of the giant mole with ease from the wounded eye.

“Not yet!”

Litty did not stop there. While the mole was immobile, she sent a follow-up strike, a Hundred Thrust, which shattered the insides of its skull and at last reached its brain. The large amount of blood that trickled down made Litty realize her victory as the mole stopped moving.

“Haah…that was close.”

“Wow…how did you…”

“I just noticed that when it came out before, it was right ahead of us. So, I assume that mole is not completely sure of our exact location.”

After a quick break, Litty cut off the parts of the Giant Mole which seemed valuable. Kuufa also decided to help, so the two did their best to remove claws, fur, and a portion of meat from it.

Kuufa was simply astonished and spent some time trying to understand Litty’s words.

“Um… what do you mean?”

“I only listened to the sound of that monster digging through the ground, and the rest is just intuition and focus. I then aimed at the wounded eye, which was also a blind spot. I had noticed this during our previous clash, I could tell that when I was on the side of the wounded eye, it reacted slower.”

“How even…”

It was easy for Litty to mention how she did it, but it was not something a normal human would understand. Even a Rank 1 adventurer would have marveled at the unfathomable feat that she did.

Kuufa no longer understood what Litty was saying. Still, she was relieved that she was saved.

“Let’s get out of here quickly. There is definitely an exit somewhere.”

“Yes…”

“Oh, wait!”

Baphomet, Kuufa’s Demon, flew to block the path that Litty took. He glared at Litty, who also braced herself.

The Demon did nothing but lazily flew around when Litty was fighting, and this time Litty could feel hostility from the Demon and expected that a confrontation was about to happen.
