Necromancer Of The Shadows-Chapter 8 Shadow Bat
A two-meter-long and one-meter-tall bat-like monster appeared before Evan after the black smoke solidified. The bat was pitch black with crimson eyes, a one-meter-long tail was coming out from its back and the end of the tail was shaped in a strange way like a claw of a beast.
After the bat appeared it looked in the direction of the dead wolf when it smelled blood, Evan was standing a little far away from the corpse of the wolf.
After seeing the corpse of the wolf the bat opened its mouth and released sound waves from its mouth when Evan saw this he knew that he will not be able to hide from the bat with the help of the invisibility potion.
As you all know bats navigate and find insect prey using echolocation. They produce sound waves at frequencies above human hearing, called ultrasound. The sound waves emitted by bats bounce off objects in their environment. Then, the sounds return to the bats' ears, which are finely tuned to recognize their own unique calls.
So when Evan saw the bat using echolocation to find him he knew that he is doomed. Evan didn't wait for the bat and started to run toward the portal but how can Evan run faster than the sound waves.
Soon the sound waves return back to the bat after bouncing off from Evan and the bat was able to find his location.
The bat quickly flew towards Evan who was running towards the portal when the bat-like monster arrived at the location from where the sound was reflected it didn't find anyone so the bat used the echolocation location once again.
The sound waves once again spread throughout the entire hallway and reflected back to bat and it was once again able to find Evan's location who was one hundred and fifty meters away form it.
When the bat looked in the direction from which it once again sensed Evan it didn't see anything and bat finally understood that his enemy is using something to hide so it can't see him with its eyes.
The bat was a Rank D monster so it was quite intelligent. This time the bat didn't use echolocation instead it came near the location where it last sensed Evan and opened its mouth wide and screeched in high pitched voice.
When the bat-like monster screeched Evan who was around seventy meters away from the bat felt a splitting headache and fell to the ground. Evan clutched his head and gritted his teeth to not make any sound but because of the attack of the bat, the ears of Evan started to bleed.
After five seconds the bat stopped its sound attack and this time even without using echolocation it was able to find Evan because of the blood that was flowing out from his ears.
When the bat stopped its attack the headache of Evan also lessened quite a bit he stood up with trembling feet and looked in the direction of the bat which was also looking in his direction with its deep crimson eyes that were filled with murderous intentions.
When Evan felt the blood dripping from his ears he knew that he can't hide from the bat now and it was more than clear that he can't outrun the bat and reach the portal before the bat attacked him again.
"I guess I spent all of my luck when I got three shadow cores just by killing eleven monsters" Evan said in a bitter tone when he saw the bat flying towards his direction.
'Even before I entered here I knew that the chances of my dying here are very high but I still took the risk because I don't want to live a useless life' Evan held his sword tightly in his hand and a determined look appeared on his face 'I may die again today but it will be better than living like this every day' ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ
During these two years although Evan tried to live a normal life deep down he felt empty because every morning he woke up and go to hunting classes alone to learn more about this new world after the classes were ended he go to learn sword manship and after his sword manship class he will have to earn money so he can buy invisibility potion that can help him improve his power a little.
During these two years instead of living Evan was trying to survive in this world, he has no friends every person in the academy look down on him. When the memories of these two years came into Evan's mind he felt like even if he die here it will change nothing. Thinking about this all fear that Evan was feeling disappeared and he looked at the bat who already arrived near him.
The bat came flying towards him and opened its mouth to release sound shock waves. The sound shock waves traveled towards Evan who jumped sideways just in time to dodge the attack.
The shock waves were like an unstoppable force that even destroyed the hard floor of the dungeon. Evan quickly looked at the bat once again after dodging the attack and tried to think of a way to attack the bat because while the bat is flying he can't attack it.
Evan looked around him and saw many stones the size of a golf ball, these stones were broken from the floor of the dungeon after the attack of the bat. Evan quickly move towards them and picked up two stones.
Just as Evan picked up two stones he once again jumped sideways to dodge another attack of the bat. After dodging the attack Evan didn't wait and imbued a little mana in the stone. If he use a normal stone to attack the D-rank bat Evan knew that with his pitiful strength he won't even be able to scratch it let alone harm it.
When Evan imbued a little mana into the stone a light blue layer appeared around the pitch-black stone. Evan didn't wait any longer because the mana of the stone started to disperse in the surrounding environment when he stopped putting more mana into it.
With all of his strength, Evan threw the stone toward the bat which once again opened its mouth to attack Evan. The stone traveled like a meteorite and hit it at the center of its forehead.
Shrinkk~~~
The bat shrieked in pain when the stone was able to pass through its defense and black blood flowed out from its forehead.
Because of the sudden attack, the bat lost its balance and started to fall down from the sky. When Evan saw this he held his sword tightly and charged toward the falling bat.
