Chapter 2: Puppet_2

Assisted by the bright light of the Light Ball, Komer was able to make out several dark shadows approaching at great speed— they were actually blood-red bats the size of washbasins, with their shrill screams coming from their mouths and the vibrations of their bat membranes.

The response of the Mage and the Dark Knight was equally swift.

With a flourish of their great sleeves, a torrent of Soul Refining Demon Fire spewed forth, weaving into a dense network of flames, and numerous Red Bats fell screaming into the inferno.

The Dark Knight's movements were even more direct and efficient, as sword light at his waist transformed into countless gleaming blade waves, silent and unnerving, with nearly every touch bringing down a Red Bat. When the blade, serene as Autumn Water, stopped and pointed towards the ground, there was not a single trace of blood on it.
