Essence Monster (Part 2)

Dozens of monsters with wide wings quickly approached the fighter, cutting through the wind currents. 

They resembled bats in some ways, especially in the shape of their wings. Their bodies consisted mostly of iron and gears, actively rotating to keep them alive.

They were not dangerous in appearance, and some inexperienced Phantom would not take them seriously - that would be his fatal mistake.

The fact that the mechanical bats could outrun a fighter controlled by an experienced pilot was enough to realize the level of threat they posed.

Well, that didn't mean they were adversaries for Adam. After all, in his current condition, he surely was one of the Top-20 strongest K1-Phantoms, due to a combination of many factors.

Sure, Adam could be even higher, for example, in the Top-10 or even in the Top 5, but everything depended on the situation, and it was impossible to know for sure his exact position in the rankings.
