Why!
When the magical words [Sullivan's Undead] appeared in people's eyes, the adventurers were stunned.
Especially when the voice from under the animated corpse's face confirmed the monster's identity as the little boy.
But why!
Why did the little boy suddenly turn into a monster?
Where's the logic in this?
Maru now was receiving a mental shock no less than when the Warrior Pot exploded in front of her in the Great Tomb, seeing a living person turned into a monster, it might be even more explosive.
Too bad, if Gong Qiying was a bit more ruthless, and the whole transformation animation played out, showing the little boy happily putting on the armor in front of people before immediately starting to scream and distort in agony, there might have been a bigger hit.
However, the abrupt twist of this kind is also fine, let's just say the viewing experience varies with each person.
