Chapter 195: White Eye Fury
Chapter 195: White Eye Fury
While Max was busy observing the situation, some people had dark faces, not liking what they were seeing. They couldn’t accept that the Poison Scroll wasn’t enough to deal with White Eye.
On one side of the outer village, Chief Li and the three Awakeneds had serious expressions seeing that the Poison Scroll didn’t completely work against the bats.
Although the blood-sucking bats had been reduced to less than a hundred, it would still be troublesome to deal with.
Chief Li quickly thought of what they could do next. He had no more Poison Scroll left in his possession, and knowing how sneaky White Eye is, they were left with limited options.
Damn! Can we do anything to stop White Eye from escaping?
The trio also thought the same thing. They had dealt with countless Rank 1’s who had been creating chaos all over the place. Every one of them had been magnificently captured without anything going wrong.
Now they were starting to feel the pressure weighing down on them. Are they going to fail this time?
There are three of them went up against a solo Rogue Awakened, and they lost miserably. How are they going to face others now once they hear about this?
With their plan, everything should have gone well. They traveled to this location, thinking that this would be an easy one, just like the others. But what happened today was different from how they imagined things would go.
The Barrier Master suddenly thought, was this what the higher-ups repeatedly told them?
The three of them had been in this occupation for quite some time now. Naturally, they had met with several Rank 2 Awakeneds already. As part of the valued Awakeneds of the Special Affairs Department, they also aspired to one day reach next Rank.
Whenever they asked for guidance to learn a few things that would help them get closer to reaching Rank 2, their superiors would only tell them that they weren’t ready yet. Soon after, they would receive hard tasks that force them to go all over the place battling all kinds of Awakeneds.
Maybe they made some mistakes in the process? Unknowingly, the same question lingered around the other two Awakeneds’ mind. Looking down, they had already forgotten where they were.
Just like what they thought, there were indeed some things that they could have done to seal all the potential escape paths of White Eye.
Even though the bats had been stronger than what they expected as White Eye had just finished consuming a small village worth of blood, a smaller barrier would have destroyed any form of resistance.
But since the Barrier Master formed a large, wide barrier, in exchange, it became thinner, which gave out many weak points that White Eye easily took advantage of.
While they were deep in their thoughts, many Awakeneds who were closely watching the entire situation had also been having their own discussion.
Lines after lines of conversation appeared on the screen as everyone added their own thoughts about the happenings before them.
“These guys are so unlucky. If not for the bats being slightly more powerful, everything would have gone just as they planned.”
“It’s a pity. They were close to capturing this guy, but in the end, they failed. This miscalculation will cost them a lot.”
“They will become the prey this time.”
“Some of their skills were extremely valuable, as well. But now we might have to watch as they fall under the hands of this mysterious Awakened.”
“No! I don’t believe it’s over yet! Did anyone see that strange bat? I think it might be on their side! I have been watching it since it appeared and the number of bats it killed was… I can’t remember! But it’s a lot!”
“I saw it too! It was like the king of bats! Each turn it took, several bats fell. In front of it, these bats were nothing but powerless birds!”
“Is that true? There was such a thing?”
“Where is it? I just started watching! Someone tell me where it is! I can’t find it!”
“Huh? It’s gone! You’re late!”
“Who do you think will win? Humans or Bats?
“The battle is over! It’s obvious that the bats had won! They will now have a great feast! Run and save yourselves!”
“I feel like it isn’t over yet. Just wait! These cowardly bats wouldn’t dare to attack these people! I bet they would only escape!”
“There is no need for discussion. Whatever happens, I’m sure the bats would lose. Look at their numbers, how would they win with that few numbers?”
“No! Those three Awakeneds were powerless against them! What can they do now? The bats will definitely suck their life out!”
“I agree! Suck their life out! Nyahaha!”
…
While some people continued their discussion, White Eye, who was the center of it, looked around for the person responsible for the Poison Scroll that killed most of his remaining bats.
Initially, he was quite elated with the progress that he made, destroying an entire village. And with the seeing the few white-eyed bats among the normal ones, White Eye had planned to find another village and make use of the strengthened bats.
The power of the blood-sucking bats was no different from ordinary creatures. Even normal people could kill them easily. The only reason for all his achievements to this day was because of their large numbers that could be catastrophic when used in its full potential.
On the other hand, the white-eyed bats were not just bats that had filled themselves with enough blood, which turned their eyes white. The white eyes also signaled that they had been strengthened.
The white-eyed bats’ power level reaches up to the middle of an ordinary person and a Rank 1 Awakened. Although they aren’t as strong as Rank 1 Awakeneds, with their numbers, one would have to be careful around them.
Of course, it isn’t easy for a blood-sucking bat to change into the white-eyed one. The volume of blood needed for one to reach the white-eyed state was immense.
This already shows from the low number of them even after raiding two villages in a single day. Also, it only lasts for an hour, but for a Rank 1 Skill, it was more powerful than most, and other weaker Awakeends can only dream of having this kind of skill.
However, just as he planned to use the remaining blood-sucking bats to attack another village, most of them died.
White Eye burned with fury, knowing that his earlier plan was now impossible. Looking at the few remaining bats surrounding him, he couldn’t wait to sink his fangs on the hateful person that sneaked attack him.
When White Eye turned his vision to one secluded side, he spotted four tiny heads exposed in the bushes.
Blinded with anger, White Eye commanded the last few bats to attack them. With no hesitation, several white-eyed bats and blood-sucking bats rushed down towards the location.
How dare they destroy his entire plan and attack him with a Poison Scroll?! Do they think they can come and go as they wish?
These people don’t seem to know what death is.
