Watching the Floating Monsters in the sky, Charles knew their bodies were hard and their strength immense. He didn't confront them head-on but instead flapped his wing membranes and dashed toward a nearby mountainside.
The transformation of a man into a colossal bat immediately caught the attention of the Floating Monsters, and they all followed in pursuit.
Charles thought everything was proceeding according to his plan, but just as he reached the midpoint of his flight, a flash of light appeared before him, and a Floating Monster materialized in front of him.
On its shoulder stood a man with a face covered in skull tattoos, his single eyeglass with a yellow brass frame moving across his face, proudly smiling as if the sudden appearance of the Floating Monster was his doing.
At that moment, it was already too late for Charles to dodge as a heavy stone column swung down and smashed heavily onto him.
