I only had time to turn around for a while when a group of bats came straight for us.
"Help" shouted the two teammates
"Stay calm!"
Two people interfered in front of us.
Their faces told me something, yes, they were the guys I had met last night.
"Burn fresh branches, the smoke makes them run away"
That's right, fire scares them away, but how did he get that information?
"Look, they're going away just like the prophetess told us."
"The prophetess?" I said
CHAPTER 37
"Oh, you're the guy from last night. Yes the prophetess, the one who told us to cut down the trees"
I thought she told them to do that to get rid of the lurking monsters so why is she also trying to chase the bats away.
"Unfortunately, they'll be back. They just hid in their nests."
We had gathered in a cave to give first aid to the few injured.
"We have to get rid of the bats together," said one person in the other group.
"We want to as well, but the question is how do we do it?"
"Get them out of their nests, I'll do the rest."
I stared at him.
"With my power, I'll lead them right into a trap"
"Okay, and to get them out, all we have to do is create smoke, it won't be difficult thanks to Yume's sword which has flame as an attribute" said Toshiko
"But there is still one last problem, how to attract the bats to your trap".
"That's right, as soon as they come out, they will attack us"
We had a problem.
"Didn't your prophet tell you that?"
"No, she only told us to cut down the trees and that if the bats attack us to protect ourselves with fire"
"But there it is, the solution" said Toshiko "We'll use the grappling hook we bought to direct them to the trap!"
"Then let me do it! This is a mission for me!"
It's true that this mission would be a perfect fit for Naoki.
"All right, I'll be the leader to smoke the exits, you..."
"I'm Clarence Chance and I'll be in charge of setting up the trap"
"And Naoki, you are the bait"
We start the mission without further delay
"There are 12 exits in all. We'll set a fire near the other 11 to force them to take the last one".
After that the bats went through the only free path as we had wanted. This was the moment. I looked at Naoki.
"It's up to you now."
He then threw a grappling hook that caught on a tree branch then waited for the right moment to swing.
"NOW!"
The bats followed Naoki and fell into Clarence's trap.
"Well... I guess it's my turn now."
[Civilian "Clarence Chance" uses the rock attribute]
A coal mine then appeared.
[The skill
"I understand, he plans to tap his coal rocks to cause an echo"
Clarence drew his sword and began to tap on the rocks which disrupted the echolocation of the bats which killed each other.
