The current situation on the ground can only be described as chaotic. Bats could be found everywhere throughout the region, and a great number of them also littered on the dirt below.
Several minutes had passed, the three Awakeneds could still keep up with the relentless bombardnt of attacks against them.
By grouping up together, they had managed to lessen the pressure on their individual selves. It also helped that when they coordinated with each other, their skills would turn to beco extrely effective.
The Barrier Master only erected a temporary barrier to trap so of the bats inside with them while the other two would take turns on dealing with the bats.
With the sleeping mist and a skillful swordsman, the blood-sucking bats had no choice but to fall under their synchronized abilities.
The trio also had a broad knowledge and experience of battles, which led them to turn to the advantageous terrain.
Slowly making their way on to the formation of boulders, all the while dealing with groups after groups of bats, the trio carefully assessed their situation.
On their front were blood-sucking bats baring their fangs on to them, and behind were rock formations that they would take advantage to ease more of the pressure weighing down on them.
One stone formation was situated on one side of the region. It had two large rocks standing beneath a wide, uneven slate covered with large rocks and dirt. Surrounding it were only shattered pieces of the stones that looked to have broken off from the various rock formations soti in the past.
There were many others of such formations found everywhere around them. Only, this formation would be the most useful one for them to stay under.
The slate was wide enough to completely cover their heads from random bats raining down on their blind spots, and it would lessen their need to keep looking at all sides, wary of surprise attacks.
Now the only thing that they would have to worry about was their front and back. And since there were three of them, this would not pose an issue.
What made them more ecstatic was that it had already been a long ti since Chief Li hurried to their location.
It should be any ti now that they would get away from his troubleso situation. For one second, when they were separated and blinded by the bats covering their vision, the three of them thought that they might really have no paths out.
Now, however, Chief Li’s nearing arrival blossod the tiny hope they held towards getting away.
As for how Chief Li would find them, there was no need to worry about that. The bats had covered a large area, and Chief Li would surely not miss this grand spectacle.
Normally, three Awakeneds should not be bullied by one Awakened like this, especially that the three Awakeneds have skills that were related to small skirmishes and battles.
However, all of them were unfortunate to have encountered an Awakened that can be considered a mismatch against them.
White Eye’s ability was transforming into blood-sucking bats that could terrorize and an entire population of a village.
The trio’s skills, on the other hand, were either Utility Skills or Sword Skills, which weren’t of much help against larger numbers. If they knew that this would happen, they would have brought soone else for this task.
This was the strength in numbers. Relying on numbers might have a high chance of failure against absolute power, but against Awakeneds of the sa level, the effectiveness of it was evident.
However, there was no denying that luck had also played a role in this.
White Eye had only been fortunate that he wasn’t against an Awakened with a large scale destruction skill. In a head-on fight, even Max would effortlessly win against White Eye, that is if he decided to unleash all of his abilities without holding back.
This was truly how it should have been. The blood-sucking bats should not be dominating three Awakeneds alone. All of it was only made possible because of the lack of large scale destruction skills.
Unknown to all of them, White Eye had considered all this along with Smiling Death. Before they went through their plan, the two of them had kept so inside contacts who sent them the information of the Awakeneds that was coming for them,
This was the reason why they had been so confident going into this. When White Eye finished reading through the data provided by their contacts, he imdiately knew that there was no way for them to fail.
…
Feeling the air blowing against his skin, Max sped up, grabbing the nearest bat that was unaware of a powerful set of claws rushing towards its head.
It then beca just another offering to Max’s Inventory.
This was what Max had been doing for the past several long minutes. From his movents, it seed like he was jumping from one bat to another, and as he moved to the next one, the bat on his grip would each ti disappear.
His efficiency in hunting the blood-sucking bats was becoming better and faster. The bats’ weak point was around their neck region where Max could sink his sharp claws like he was slicing through butter.
At this point, Max was harvesting lives, and everywhere he turned to would be cleansed, leaving none of the blood-sucking bats alive.
By now, the skies had beco brighter due to the significant decrease in numbers of the blood-sucking bats.
Monts ago, the changes weren’t apparent; however, now that Max was given a good amount of ti on his own, the damage he had dealt was imnse.
Now, more than half of the bats’ numbers had now been eliminated.
It was getting harder and harder to find cover and hide his movents as his swift flight alone would expose him to being an odd one among the others.
Stopping right now was also not a good idea as Max ca here to lessen their remaining numbers, and stopping now would signal a failure.
Rapidly thinking as he glanced at the remaining bats, Max, with a flap of his wings, soared high up towards a large group of bats, releasing everything he had onto them.
Sharp claws pierced through their bodies and wings swinging by their sides, imdiately blood was drawn in the sky.
After finishing a group of bats, Max quickly went to another large group and unleashed a one-sided slaughter in the sky.
Since Max didn’t need to hold back anymore, completely exposing an odd bat killing its fellow bats, his output had beco greater, eliminating groups after groups of bats.
Very quickly, the sky turned wider with only a few hundred bats taking turns to chip away the last strength left within the three Awakeneds.
A few minutes after they had found an advantageous spot, the trio had not expected to be put in another predicant. The Awakened responsible for the sleeping mist ran out of energy. In the next mont, the swordsman, having to fight against bats on two sides, had beco sluggish, drained out strength.
The Barrier Master was not left alone, either. Without anyone to block the bats, the trio found themselves sward over by mindless bats with no care of their lives.
However, shortly, an unbelievable change occurred, and they had once again found themselves in a similar situation as the last ti.
Seemingly in a hurry, all the bats took a sharp turn towards the forest as their piercing cries flowed out wave after wave throughout the rocky regions.
