Bab 360: Is it mocking me?

Bia's figure soared across the sky, quickly maneuvering through the swarm of bats to approach the border. Alec followed closely behind, cursing under his breath when a monster tried to bite his leg. He kicked it back into the forest with an exhausted expression.

His eyes traveled toward the large bat, watching them with its crystal-like eyes from a distance. A vein bulged on his forehead as he noticed the mirth dancing in the bat's eyes.

"Haha... is it mocking me?"

Alec rolled up his sleeves, ready to dive towards the monster lord once again. But his actions halted when Kyle appeared a short distance away. Alec's gaze met the silver-haired man, who grabbed his shoulder and pulled him towards the border.

"Come with me! We have a lot of work to do!"

"Huh?"

Despite his confusion, Alec quickly followed. Just like him, Kyle called Carcel, Regius, Sinon, Sia, and a few other strong figures he knew. He pointed towards the land.
