Chapter 21: This is Another World After All

When it was time to switch the night watch, Ai was gently woken up by Tatsuro. During the short time frame when they were both awake, Tatsuro told Ai about the effects of titles, making her grow curious about her own.

"My Ki really went up a lot" (Ai)

( No, that's not it. Titles There!)

She checked the effects of her titles before going back to the stats screen.

(Eh? So if I didn't have the [Destroyer] title, my magic stat would be just 2 points? [Valkyrie] really wants to cut me off from magic completely, huh? Well, Tatsuro is here so I guess it's fine Next is [Perfect Harmony]'s telepathic communication. I'm glad I can at least talk to Tatsuro anytime I want)

Looking at the title the two of them got together, and Ai's lips curled upwards into a foolish smile. That is until she heard the sound of water splashing coming from the river.

(What was that?)

With his heart still beating rapidly, Tatsuro could only smile as the words came out of his mouth.

"Hmm?" (Tatsuro)

While he was still basking in the scene earlier, a weak, high-pitched sound similar to a bird's chirping entered Tatsuro's ears. The sound gradually got louder and along with it came the sound of wings flapping or rather several wings flapping.

(What is it now?)

Tatsuro activated his Dispel magic. Changing its shape from a dome to a cone, he pointed it in the direction of the sounds. However, it was slightly too late as the creatures had already flown out of the woods.

(Bats?) (Tatsuro)

Looking exactly like a bat, each creature had an average wingspan of about 30cm.

The first few pass by over their camp, heading into the forest on the other side of the river. Then a whole bunch of bats followed right after. Unfortunately, the two were spotted by one of them, then two, and suddenly, the whole flock headed towards them.

(It would have been great if you guys just continued like that.) (Tatsuro)

With that thought in his mind, Tatsuro grasped tightly onto Ai's hand.

Allowing [Perfect Harmony] to take effect, Tatsuro instantly created about a hundred tiny red spheres of light around them.

And then, he attacked.

Lasers started firing mercilessly at the bats from each tiny red sphere. It sounded like a requiem dedicated to the bats caught in its way. For those lucky few who managed to pass by the smaller lasers, Tatsuro took care of them by shooting larger lasers at them with his hands.

After thirty short seconds, the sky was once again clear of disturbances, leaving only the glistening moon and stars behind.

(I should search for survivors with Dispel magic.)

It was time for the magic to redeem itself. Reverting back to its usual dome-like shape, Tatsuro searched to see if there were still any bats alive.

Locating three bats that were on their final breaths, Tatsuro used [Level Eater] on them without any hesitation.

What he got was:

Level: 4

Skill(s): [Flight Lv 1], [Bite Lv 2], [Bloodsucking Lv 2]

Level: 8

Skill(s): [Flight Lv 2], [Bite Lv 4], [Bloodsucking Lv 3]

Level: 5

Skill(s): [Flight Lv 1], [Bite Lv 3], [Bloodsucking Lv 1]

Which he devoured without batting an eyelid.
