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, and a one-meter-long tail was coming out from its back, and the end of the tail was shaped strangely 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 would not be able to hide from the bat with the help of the invisibility potion. As you all know, owlets 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 unique calls. So when Evan saw the bat using echolocation to find him, he knew that he was doomed. Evan didn't wait for the bat and started to run toward the port, but how can Evan run faster than the sound waves? Soon, the sound waves returned to the bat after bouncing off Evan, and the bat was able to find his location. The bat quickly flew towards Eva,,n 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 once again. The sound waves once again spread throughout the entire hallway and reflected to the bat, and it was once again able to find Evan's location, who was one hundred and fifty meters away from it. When the bat looked in the direction from which it once again sensed Evan, it didn't see anything, and the bat finally understood that its enemy was using something to hide so it couldn'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; instinct, it came near the location where it last sensed Evan and opened its mouth wide and screeched in a high, high-pitched voice. When the bat-like monster screeched, Evan, who was around seventy meters away from the beast, 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, his ears started to bleed. After five seconds, as the bat stopped its sound attack, it was able to find Evan without using echolocation, drawn to the blood flowing from his ears. When the bat ceased its assault, the headache began to lessen for Evan. He stood up with trembling feet and looked in the direction of the bat, which was also staring back at him with its deep crimson eyes filled with murderous intentions. A surge of adrenaline coursed through him as he realized he had to act quickly. The beast was closing in, and he could feel the weight of its deadly gaze. When Evan felt the blood dripping from his ears, he knew that he couldn't hide from the bat now, and it was more than clear that he couldn'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 him. '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' 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 had no friends e and every person in the academy looked down on him. When the memories of these two years came into Evan's mind, he felt like even if he died, he would still change nothing. Thinking about this, all the fear that Evan was feeling disappeared, and he looked at the bat that had 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,,g 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 moved towards them and picked up two stones. Just as Evan picked up two stones, she once again jumped sideways to dodge another attack from the bat. After dodging the attack, Evan didn't wait and imbued a little mana in the stone. If he used a normal stone to attack the D-rank, bat Evan knew that with his pitiful strength, he wouldn'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 from the sky. When Evan saw this, he held his sword tightly and charged toward the falling bat.
