Though Kaizoku's face showed no fear, deep inside he was terrified of death. However, his strong determination pushed him to fight for survival.
Kaizoku tried calling for help, shouting, "Sylphy!! Need help here!!"
Kaizoku is very sure and really trust that Sylphy will help, whatever happens.
"Heh... Fatal mistake..."
Hearing Kaizoku's plea for help, Gon unhesitatingly released his grip, letting Kaizoku fall.
After hearing Kaizoku's request, Sylphy quickly switched to serious mode.
Her eyes became sharper, hearing closer, and the hero's saving instinct began to creep over Sylphy.
"Void Walk..." Sylphy swiftly used the spell Void Walk to move faster toward Kaizoku's position.
She quickly spotted Kaizoku falling, though he hadn't dropped too far yet.
Sylphy pushed Gon aside and grabbed his scythe to pull Kaizoku back up.
Moving too fast for Gon to react, her push sent him flying.
Finally, Sylphy managed to pull Kaizoku clothes back up using the tip of Gon's scythe.
Kaizoku immediately slumped down, breathing heavily and heart racing, he thanked Sylphy.
"Hufff... Huff... Hah, thanks Sylphy... I almost died... I kne I can trust you for that."
Sylphy just nodded, then threw Gon's scythe back at him.
But before the scythe could reach Gon, Lilith moved incredibly fast to protect her master with a gray iron shield featuring a bright green diamond circle in its center.
Lilith blocked the thrown scythe with the shield in her left hand. She requested permission to use her serious mode like Sylphy.
"Master, I request permission to attack back using my Valkyrie mode."
Though initially annoyed at underestimating Kaizoku and Sylphy without using serious mode, after seeing their potential, Gon finally permitted Lilith to fight seriously.
"GRRHH... Fine! Don't let them live! Make sure their souls floating endlessly above Ocean of Death."
With her master's permission, Lilith immediately commanded her weapon to switch to serious mode.
"Valkyrie, engage serious mode, slash-resistant iron armor with medium-speed wings."
The diamond circle in Lilith's shield glowed brightly, accepting her command.
Suddenly, both of Lilith's pupils turned bright red, followed by her eyebrows lowering, indicating she was serious and ready to fight.
Lilith's maid outfit peeled away, replaced by thick gray iron armor covering her entire body. Her maid cap transformed into a crown with wing-shaped feathers on both sides.
Long black wings emerged from Lilith's back, their tips colored red and white.
The green diamond orb in Lilith's shield created a wooden spear with a sharp iron tip, adorned with white wings on both sides.
Lilith took the spear from her shield. She was ready to fight seriously.
"Master, let me handle the rest. You can focus on fighting the hero."
Lilith flew forward at incredible speed, aiming her spear at Sylphy.
Sylphy tried to dodge by jumping to the left, but Lilith had predicted her movement. As a result, Sylphy was impaled by Lilith's spear and carried outside the castle.
"Sylphy!!!" Kaizoku screamed, watching Sylphy being stabbed by Lilith and taken away from the castle.
"Damn you, Skeleton Man! Now we one on one!"
