Chapter 89: How Dare You Toy With Me, Locke!
Meanwhile, at the center of the Holy City.
As the nobles’ were gradually drained dry, Moto’s complexion gradually improved. However, Moto was still unsatisfied. “I bet that your blood would achieve better results! But since you’re so stingy, I’ll just take your blood myself!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the dense swarm of bats flew toward Locke!
Although the bats were rather weak individually, in a group, they posed a considerable threat.
Locke took a glance behind him. Upon confirming that Tristan and Jacques had already evacuated everyone, Locke raised his hand and fired off Hurricane Piercer at Moto!
Countless bats rushed to protect Moto, but they were instantly smashed into pieces!
Stepping on the broken limbs of his bats, Moto then spread his hands and said, “Friend, how many times must I tell you this. This is a futile effort!”
After failing his third attempt at striking at Moto, Locke shifted his attention to the troublesome bats instead!
With a flap of Gale Wings’ wings, Locke flew into the air once more, and he transformed Infinite Fire Element into a broadsword with wide range!
“Boom! Boom!”
Under the enhancement of body tempering, each swing of his broadsword had created shockwaves that broke the sound barrier!
Each strike could cut down dozens, or even hundreds of bats!
Despite that, even as countless bats fell before him, not a trace of worry appeared on Moto’s face. Instead, he had only grown to admire Locke even more.
With a raise of his hand, countless bats flew out from the corpses in the stands!
Although mindlessly slaying the bats was enjoyable, Locke did not feel the slightest bit of challenge. Moreover, when he turned around, he realized that another group of bats was coming his way!
“How annoying…” Locke raised his broadsword and slashed the approaching bats into half!
Yet another round of slaughter ensued!
After twenty minutes of mind-numbing slaying, Locke had gained a solid grasp of his enemy’s numbers. However, he had also discovered a problem. None of the bats had shed any blood…
At this moment, in the school grounds, the students who were watching Diana’s live broadcast were all cheering for Locke.
“Locke looks like he’s enjoying the fight!”
“I want to try it too!”
“But it feels there’s no end to the bats! Look! Another group is approaching him!”
“Are these ruthless and endless source of bats Moto’s Battle Beast?”
“I think there should be a main body, just like the Berserk Rats. Although they fight in swarms, there is only one king rat…”
Diana nodded in agreement.
In fact, she was also constantly searching for the main body of the bats through her Global Sentinels, but even after searching the area thoroughly, she had come out empty-handed.
Just as she was aching over what to do, the school field was struck with tremors.
She knew that that Tristan and the others had returned!
The moment he stepped out of the cabin door, Tristan requested two instructors who owned medical-type Battle Beasts to tend to Black Tortoise’s injuries.
“Moto’s Battle Beast is very weird. Where on earth did these bats come from?” Jacques was very puzzled.
However, none of the other instructors had an answer for his question.
“Your Battle Beast is pretty unique. To think that it comes in such large numbers…”
“Hiss…” Lil’ White unleashed five Light and Dark Spatial Slashes!
It completely annihilated the group of bats that had spawned!
As long as his skills landed, Locke would be able to kill a large number of bats.
Although it was an enjoyable experience, as time went by, Locke began to find it boring.
“What’s wrong? My friend, it seems that you’re having trouble figuring out where my Battle Beast is. Don’t worry, though, I’ll tell you my secret before you die! Don’t let your guard down, I have many more opponents in store for you!” Moto spread his hands and unleashed two large bat swarms into the battlefield.
Locke dug his ear and stated, “Your ability is indeed special, but these bats don’t contain any blood in them…”
Then, he looked down at Moto and said slowly, “Your Battle Beast is probably an elemental, right…”
These words made Moto frown a little, but he quickly regained his composure and answered, “Maybe, but you won’t be able to figure it out…”
“Hehe… I’ve already found out! Your Battle Beast is…”
“A blood elemental!!”
Although Locke was only pulling his leg, Locke found this conclusion to be the most plausible.
Once he noticed that the bats did not contain any blood, Locke felt that something was amiss.
After draining the bloods from their victims, the bats had probably sent the blood to some Battle Beast to be collected.
The Battle Beast would then infuse the collected blood with mana to form the endless amount of bats.
A cycle would then be formed.
In theory, as long as there was a blood source present, the number of bats was infinite.
Moto’s forehead was soaked in sweat. His eyebrows twitched twice, and he wore a rather incredulous expression. “After so many years, aside from my family, you’re the first person to guess my Battle Beast correctly… Very good, you’ve piqued my interest in you even more. Your blood must be very powerful!”
“Oh? So, I was right?” Genuine surprised appeared on Locke’s face.
However, Locke’s expression had enraged Moto greatly.
‘I was fooled?’
‘I was fooled by this kid?’
‘Had I had known earlier, I would have firmly denied it!’
“So what if you guessed correctly? You still need to deal with my children!”
Perhaps due to being fooled, Moto snapped.
The two large bat swarms in the air grew larger again!
They were at least as large as the previous swarms!
An idea came to Locke’s mind. He raised his head, raised his voice, and shouted, “Instructor Diana! Order the students to clear the bats in the city. They should be attacking the civilians indiscriminately! !”
The people in the school heard Locke’s announcement..
Tristan was the first to understand. He quickly said, “I understand! Moto’s Battle Beast might be a blood elemental! After sucking blood, his Battle Beast would transform the blood into its own body!!”
“Moto will then use the civilians blood to create even more bats!”
With that, Tristan then looked at Locke on the screen and said, “Good job Locke! You’re really smart!”
Diana nodded and immediately turned off the live broadcast. She ordered her Global Sentinels to look for locations where bats were present.
John, who was resting on a chair, stood up with difficulty and said, “Listen Up! The principal isn’t here right now, so I’ll give orders on his behalf!”
Over a thousand students immediately snapped to attention!
“I hereby order all the Beastmasters in the academy to mobilize! Kill the bats plaguing the city! For the sake of the principal, for Locke, and for the Hoy City, annihilate the bats!”
