Kapitel 55: Chapter 54: Encounter in the Dark (3)

"KIEEEK!"

A screeching scream echoed through the lightless warehouse as the bat broke through the windows and rushed inside. It cared not for what it had broken through and made its way straight for the quartet.

"Chocolate! We need chocolate!" Elric shouted. "That thing is in Chocolate Drive!"

"What?!" Erika turned at Elric's words and asked. She had missed her chance to listen to him the first time around and had realized his value all too late. Chocolate he had said, so chocolate it shall be.

Sweet-tooth Erika reached into the folds of her cloak, pulled out a bar of chocolate, and tossed it at the bat.

And naturally, the attack didn't as much as blind it for a second as the bat evaded without batting an eye and shot itself at Erika with speeds that mere bats could never scratch.

A clang resounded.

Erika jumped back, and in front of her stood Claude, the blade of the Lord of Shadows in his hands.
