Medes was still catching up on sleep in the corner, but what he didn't notice was that the newly forged steel sword in his hand was emitting a white light, and the white light was getting brighter and brighter as the phantom gradually approached.
The phantom noticed the abnormality of the steel sword, hurriedly passed him, and ran directly into the inner room.
Squeak!
The door to Catherine's room was gently pushed open.
"Joey?"
Catherine habitually called out towards the door, but no one answered.
"What trick are you playing now? I'm getting angry if you don't come out soon!"
Still no one answered.
Catherine immediately tensed up; months of life on the run had made her exceptionally sensitive to such unusual situations.
She grabbed the dagger Joey had left her on the table and stared warily at the doorway.
"Medes, come here quickly!"
It wasn't Catherine who shouted, but the dwarf Carter.

Carter weighed the hammer in his hand and said with great certainty.

They weren't born from a ten-month pregnancy, but were awakened from corpses by a humanoid creature called a Vagri. The process was quite complex and couldn't be mass-produced yet.

Carter glanced at the glowing steel sword and became even more certain.
"Lan, is that you?"
"We've been old friends for so many years, and you didn't even greet me when you came to my house?"
"The stench of death emanating from you is far too strong!"
Carter spoke into the room, but he still couldn't see the female undead.
Seeing that no one responded to him, Carter reached into his pocket, clutched a handful of ashes, and prepared to act.
