Jessica was caught off guard by this at first, but then she realized what he was referring to.
Shaka might have seemed more drained, but his position was the better one.
Bats was forced up against a corner of the room and Shaka was in front of him, cutting him off from a certain direction. As for the direction that he could go in, that was in the direction of where Jessica was standing.
He had forced Bats into a corner so that he had no choice but to face Jessica head on.
Bats also knew that he was in a bad position, but he didn't panic.
He knew that when it came to speed, he completely outclassed Jessica. So even if he was trapped in a corner like this, as long as he utilized his speed, he would be able to break out without any problems.
So Bats raised his wing on his back and prepared to dash right past Jessica.
But before he could do this, he suddenly felt danger coming from nearby.
He turned to see that Shaka was ready for him and as long as he made a move, he would be cut down from behind by Shaka. So he had to be wary of Shaka or he wouldn't be able to survive this…
As this thought passed through his mind, he could also see that Jessica was already getting close to him.
If he didn't make a move soon…it would be too late.
So Bats no longer thought about it and charged at Jessica.
He knew that it was only the strange weapon in her hand that he had to be afraid of, the person that wielded this weapon was not that powerful in the first place. He could feel the magic power that was coming from this weapon, so he knew that it was the power of this weapon that had taken down Rock.
So if he dodged this attack and counterattacked, he would be able to get right past Jessica and find a safe place.
With this thought in mind, Bats moved from side to side to make it even harder for Jessica to hit him.
As he swayed from side to side, with the speed that he moved at, there were after images that were left behind that did make Jessica's eyes spin.
With these after images, she wasn't able to pinpoint which one was the real Bats, so she wasn't able to attack him.
Seeing this hesitation in Jessica, Bats revealed a confident look as he increased his speed.
He was confident that as long as he overwhelmed her, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
This was indeed an accurate judgement of the situation, but there was someone that he had underestimated.
Seeing that Jessica was being overwhelmed by Bats' speed, Shaka suddenly said, "Close your eyes and just listen for where to swing."
Jessica was even more caught off guard when she heard this, but in the end, she still closed her eyes and listened carefully. When she closed her eyes like Shaka had said, she found that she was able to hear much more clearly.
She was also able to hear Bats' movement just with the sound that he created.
But she knew that this wasn't just because of her abilities alone, she knew that it was because of the earplugs that she was wearing.
These were the same as the earplugs that Shaka had given to Zwein earlier, so they amplified sound just the same. With them, she was able to easily hear the sound of Bats' cloak as he moved and she was able to track his position in a way that her eyes couldn't.
When Bats was right above Jessica and he stabbed down at her with his daggers, he found that she sidestepped at the last moment before swinging the strange sword in her hand at him.
Bats was caught off guard by this sudden move by Jessica as he didn't expect her to be able to react with her eyes closed like this, but he hadn't let his guard down. Seeing that she moved at the last moment, he quickly flapped his wings to move out of the way.
But before his wings could actually flap, there was a sense of danger that came from behind him.
When he turned to look, he found that there were two daggers that were aimed at his back.
As for who threw them…it was Shaka.
Bats knew that he was faced with a conundrum.
He could either let himself be hit with the daggers that were coming at his back or he could let himself be hit with the strange sword that was coming at him from the front.
He knew that it was impossible for him to dodge both of them since there wasn't enough space for him to dodge.
Since that was the case, he decided to dodge the strange sword and let the daggers hit him in the back.
He had already seen what kind of power was in that strange sword when it took down Rock, so he knew that it was impossible for him to take a hit from this strange sword. At the very least, he knew that there wasn't as much power in the daggers since he had clashed with Shaka many times.
When the daggers stabbed him in the back, Bats was surprised by how much it hurt. However, it was still at a level that he could easily take.
Once he took this, he focused on the strange sword that was coming at him from in front.
With his mind focused, it was easily for him to predict the path of this sword and dodge out of the way.
But before he could dodge…there was a sudden force that came from behind him.
It was the daggers that had stabbed into his back.
All of sudden, they released a powerful gale that blew him forward, right into the path of the strange sword.
With how strong this gale was, he couldn't stop himself.
