I Became A Bat

50: Opening

As the screens hovered right in front of me, my eyes can't help but move to meet Maine's. Deep in her eyes, I can see the same shock I have right now. The Demon King Crown's jewels and the True Mirror... Did they really fight just now?

My focus returns back to the screens right in front. My heart is still beating hard right now and I can't really think straight so I'm actually not in the position to properly think things through right now but I definitely don't want to get rid of my previous skills right now.

Alright! Let's click no!

The forefinger of my right hand moves to click my choice on the screen. After that, the screen changes in contents. Now, what's shown is already my Status Window.

Suddenly, the Spirit Eater starts emitting loud roars once again. I turn my gaze away from the screen to look at it and now there it is, glowering at me. The sand around is being blown away. Right now, it looks fiercer than before. However, its legs are actually backing away while letting out deeper growls.

Don't tell me it's actually afraid? It's health is actually already in the red zone so maybe that's the reason for that. So things like this are actually afraid of death too, huh?

Cold air enters through my mouth as I take a deep breath before I begin to speak to Maine. "Hey Maine! The Spirit Eater... Why was it called by that name again?"

"Huh?" Maine looks confused for a second before she replies. "It uses a skill called Devour Soul to consume psyche energy from others and strengthen itself. Why'd you ask?"

That's it! If I can use Devour Soul on this guy, then maybe I can raise my Psyche stats which barely moved for the past few months. I can always use teleport to get away from here now that the Spirit Eater is unwilling to fight with us but that would a really huge waste.

"Listen up Maine. I'll be using Devour Soul on the Spirit Eater. What you have to do is distract it as much as possible, okay?" I pick up the smaller gun on my waist before throwing it towards her.

"W-what?" A frantic look appears on her face as she tries to catch the gun. She seems to be intent on staying something but before she can even open mouth, my attention quickly shifts to the monster to ignore whatever protests she may have.

Devour Soul! My voice rings out inside my head as I open my mouth. I don't know how this skill really works so I can only rely on guesses.

Suddenly, a suction force appears from my open mouth. It's not absorbing air but instead, the psyche energy scattered all around us. I look at the Spirit Eater and psyche energy is also coming out of its body. However, the suction of energy from its body is weaker compared to the ones near me.

So it's a matter of distance too, huh?

With a single flap, my wings directs me closer towards the Spirit Eater. As I enter the five meter radius surrounding it, the suction force from my mouth gets stronger. Thick psyche energy from the Spirit Eater leaves its body like a stream and enters my mouth.
