423 Last hi (1/2)

There was a good chance that if the death bat felt like its life was in danger, it would call over more of them. This could be seen as a good thing or bad thing depending on the situation. If the death bat was easy to kill with Rokene's help, then having more would make the task easier, after all they needed to kill twenty advanced beasts in a time span of three days.

The problem was though how many would come? Would it depend how many were nearby in the area, and how far would its cry attract attention from. If the beast was quite hard to kill, it would perhaps be too hard for the two of them to handle many at once.

With all these things in mind, Quinn was ready.

”The beast isn't replying, so we have no choice but to fight!” Rokene said.

Quinn was never relying on the fact that Rokene was able to do something in the first place with his ability. It seemed like Rokane had made an attempt just because of what he had said before.

The black rabbit stayed on Rokene's shoulder and its horn started to light up, just like it did when fighting against the other beast in the river. In response to this, the death bat opened its mouth and leaned back its head and its belly slighting raised, but no sound was heard.

”Jump!” Quinn shouted.

Dashing to the left and Rokene dashing to the right, they split up and just where they were at that moment. The dirt from the floor lifted up as if an explosion was placed in the ground..

'Was that an attack from the death bat?' Rokene thought and was thankful that Buinn had told him to move, otherwise he would have been hit from the invisible and soundless attack.

Quinn only knew that it was preparing for an attack thanks to the information provided by the system. Opening its mouth was the sign it would be unleashing a sonic blast, but it was at a frequency that could be unheard of from vampires.

It continued to fire out blast after blast going for Quinn. Looking at the beast's head movements, Quinn was able to dodge most of the attacks, but once in a while he would have to perform the flash step as two attacks would come out too close to each other. Dust and dirt would rise up from the ground just moments after Quinn would move. It looked strange and made it seem as if Quinn was the one causing this as if there was a delay in his footsteps.

They scraped across the floor and eventually reached the beast's side. The bat slightly turned its body lifting its wing blocking the attack, but this was what Rokene was waiting for. The attacks were just a distraction. Once the bat had moved its wing out of the way to throw out an attack of its own, the Black rabbit was ready with it's horn firing off a strong straight line of a lightning bolt.

The attack was fast and strong and the Bat was unable to react in time, it lifted its wing but not enough to stop the attack, however, it was able to jump and flap its wings slightly changing where the attack would hit. Originally it was going for the head but now with its sudden movements, the attack instead singed right through a part of its chest and black blood started to pour down from below.

”Damn, we were so close!” Rokene complained.

Still, flapping its wings the Black bat's attention seemed to be focusing on something else. It was slightly up in the air, and tilted its head back further than before, and then its belly started to rise outward even more. Whatever it was, it was clear that this attack was bigger than the ones before and it was coming right for rokene..

”Blood shield.” Rokene said, a wall of blood rose in front of him, all he could do was hope it would be enough to block the attack.

”Moon crescent kick!”

Looking up in the air, Rokene could see something up as high as the bat appeared… it was Quinn. At that moment, lifting his leg from below upward, towards his head as fast and as strong as he could, a horizontal single line of blood came out. It was larger than any blood swipe Rokene had ever seen before. At the same time it looked slightly different and instead of the attack coming from the hands like it usually would, it came from a leg instead.

The large attack the bat had been storing up, it quickly lifted its head and blew out the attack to its side. It was such a powerful attack the force had moved the bat's body slightly backwards. The crescent kick had hit, but instead of slicing the beast in half. It had hit the wing and continued to go past until it eventually disappeared.

A few seconds later and the wing had fallen to the floor with the bat following shortly after.

'Was that a new type of attack he created himself.' Rokene thought.

His own blood swipe had only caused faint scratches on the beast skin, but Buinn's had managed to completely cut off the beast wings. Unfortunately it seems like the beast had some form of intelligence or at least battle instinct, as it was able to narrowly avoid death twice now.
