Chapter 186: It Was Time

Now that they had removed one from the fight, Yu’er and Xue quickly went back to hiding as their part was already done.

Xue, who was currently still transformed into long vines, silently dug back down to where she came from under the dirt below.

She never spared anymore effort on restricting the movements on the now fallen body left behind as disposing of it wasn’t included in their act.

Yu’er also ran back to the forest, heading towards a safe location where they agreed to meet. The location wasn’t far from their position; it was only on the far side of the forest’s edge.

There, Yu’er will be meeting with Xue to watch the exciting performance that was going to be shown a period from now.

Shortly after Yu’er and Xue went into hiding, one bat flew over Smiling Death’s body, seemingly waiting for something.

Suddenly, another bat, this time a size larger than the first one flew down towards the body, hovering over it.

This bat was different from the one who was with Smiling Death from the beginning. Its eyes were clear and full of intelligence, and its fangs had an apparent difference among the common blood-sucking bats.

Not only were the fangs larger, but they also seemed to be sharp. From how formidable it looks, the bat could only be said to be an enhanced version of the others.

After hovering for a few seconds, it landed on the flesh of Smiling Death, and in an instant, the body disappeared, leaving only two bats flapping their wings.

Something odd seems to be going on with Smiling Death vanishing like smoke. And it didn’t stop there. The larger bat abruptly acted in a surprising way.

In a swift manner, the larger bat rapidly flew over to the smaller one before sinking its fangs onto its head.

The poor bat had not been expecting something like this could happen. Once it finally reacted, it was too late.

With fangs sharp enough to be claws, it was able to easily dug into the flesh of the smaller bat, instantly killing it.

For the larger bat, what it did seemed to be normal and nothing strange as after the smaller bat lost its life, falling lifelessly, it turned away flying up towards the hordes of bats in the vast rocky region.

Max had not been sitting idly all this time. Since Yu’er and Xue had already done their part, it was time for him to do his.

Flying directly to the clumps of bats in the sky, Max silently joined the hundreds and thousands of bats without them noticing.

This was what he had to do. After Max stored Smiling Death’s body in his Inventory, he decided to also remove all the troubles that might come with it.

The first one that came into his mind was the bat that was hovering over Smiling Death. Immediately going into action, Max instantly killed the unaware bat before flying away.

This way, there won’t be anyone else that could know about what just occurred in this place.

However, Max had miscalculated something. What Max didn’t know was everything that had transpired in the previous moment, including Xue and Yu’er’s acts, had been broadcasted for everyone to see.

If Max had time to look at his phone, he would quickly notice that the earlier area shown had now been widened.

The scene that wasn’t included a while ago was now being seen by an unknown amount of people. Max had considered this before, but he didn’t spend more effort into doing something about it.

Now it was too late. The current scene shown looked to have been zoomed out, catching everything that was happening in a wide span of area.

Surprisingly, everything was crystal clear, and even the tiny details such as faces could be clearly seen.

Fortunately, even without knowing about this, Max had already taken into consideration the chances of other spectators finding their identities; thus, no information about them had been revealed.

Only, the strange scene of Smiling Death’s fallen body disappearing, and the one bat killing the other was seen by all.

Numerous conclusions had been made, and some Awakeneds that had watched it became lost in their thoughts.

Most of them were thinking whether they would have done anything if they were in Smiling Death’s position.

The amount of time it took for him to be caught and slain was too fast. One moment Smiling Death was alone, and the next, his limbs were already tied, and his movements restricted.

And what happened after that, some Awakeneds felt chills crawling down their spines, imagining that there might be one day where they only minded themselves and suddenly become a victim of the same act the next second.

Although others only praised their own skills, which could make sure that the same attack would never be possible against them.

Other new Awakeneds that had watched what just occurred became shocked by how fast everything went.

What happened could be considered an act of assassination, and this was their first time seeing the darkness of the world. Naturally, they would feel fear, but some looked on with contempt at such an ordinary attack, thinking they would have done better.

Those ones with experienced eyes, however, had long seen through the attack. They could see that the attacker was still holding back, only stabbing with almost no energy used.

In the end, they concluded that it was the target who was weak, being played without even seeing who it was that killed him even until death.

But what made them looked on with interest was the bat that was responsible for the disappearance of the body.

It was apparent that the bat had arrived with a plan, landing on the lifeless body, which somehow made it vanish before attacking the other bat as if it didn’t want to alert anyone.

The intelligence it showed was enough for them to intently follow it with their eyes, but soon, they found themselves disappointed, seeing the bat disappear among the large group of bats.

They weren’t the only ones. Even though the other Awakeneds who had been watching couldn’t see through every action that occurred, they still had a feeling that there will be more.

For Awakeneds who had too much time on their hands, they would, of course, watch the entire show.

…

It was now time for Max to begin the second phase of his task.

While Max was in the middle of planning, he naturally had to consider the chance that the bats would only flee away from him.

There was also the possibility of the bats simultaneously going after him. Even though his Purple Lightning could destroy all of them, Max had already decided to use it as a last resort. After all, to use the Purple Lightning, Time Stop would also have to be used along with it.

This zone Max was currently at was definitely the focus of the whole broadcast. Yu’er and Xue should also be watching right now.

Luckily for him, no one would connect his identity to a bat, and what’s more, countless bats were flying in his surroundings. Max could do whatever he wants and still not be seen.

Max imitated the entire outer appearance of the bats, which would guarantee that he will not be recognized as a different one.

Now, all he had to do was to decrease their numbers. Max was the only intelligent bat in the middle of countless unaware creatures. For him, this would be a piece of cake.

It was time.
