"Screee!"
The bat unleashed a sound wave. Auric was trying to protect himself, but Ellia managed to react one step faster. She swung her blade, generating enough power to slash the sound wave.
She positioned herself between Auric and the bat.
The situation had gone from bad to worse. Arina was struggling to break free from the other bat while they were occupied with this one.
Seeing that the sound wave didn't hit the targets, the bat flapped its wings before letting out another cry. The closed wings concentrated the sound in a single area.
"Kh." Ellia gritted her teeth. She had just realized what kind of beast they were fighting. "Rank 2 bats—no, near rank 3."
The other bat also sent another sound wave toward them.
"Miss, Auric!" Arina warned them out loud, but the sound wave would definitely reach them faster.
Fortunately, Lindwurm warned Auric one step faster.
Auric immediately grabbed Ellia's shoulder and used the Void Step to teleport diagonally into the air.
