The fact that the transformed girl was going to be out cold for quite some time was a comfort to Youmu. It gave them time to finish dealing with whatever it was that was going on in these caves aside from the terrible fish monsters. And, thankfully, it didn't take long for them to reach the source of the second disturbance, especially given that the fish creatures seemed to have largely vanished from the caverns with the defeat of the one that they were protecting. It also possibly helped that so many of them had been killed or incapacitated on their way in.

The eerie blue glow made Youmu feel uneasy. It wasn't ghosts, right? She had a duty. She couldn't let herself be dissuaded at all. But the fact that there were so many indications that this could be ghosts was making her more and more uneasy by the second.

But she couldn't let it scare her... she couldn't...!

The revelation that rather than ghosts it was  a collection of walking skeletons eased the petite silver-haired girl's heart considerably. and she smoothly drew Roukanken the moment the anchor launched forward.

With a shower of sparks, she brought the lengthy blade's side against the anchor, forcing it away with a resounding crash of of metal on metal! She immediately darted forward, targeting the first of the skeletons and slicing once upwards and then again downwards, cutting bone apart in an instant!
