Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 595 Returning to the True Self
The chaotic formation of the blood-red bats suggests that something must have gone wrong in their lair.

Claire, who had been immersed in imitating "herself" in the book, straightened her back and looked seriously in the direction from which the explosion came.

Although she hadn't looked at the map, Claire knew that they were now near Scalo Fortress, which was the original location where the 'Heavenly Mending Elder's Legacy' was supposed to appear.

Regardless of whether these blood-red bats might be Viscountess Corey's subordinates, just considering their location, these blood-red bats that actively attack humans are all targets that need to be dealt with.

Claire had become somewhat immersed in the role after a long period of self-hypnosis, and since she didn't see Yaro appear immediately, she subconsciously maintained her 'persona'.

Now, things have finally broken the shackles in Claire's heart, forcing her to face this unexpected situation with her true self.

In the sky, the chaos among the bat swarm intensified, with sharp cries beyond human hearing constantly colliding in the air.

Just then, a strong bat in the low sky, whether due to the collision or because it felt that Claire was completely unprepared and it was the perfect time to attack, suddenly swooped down.

Another one was about to follow, but was momentarily distracted by a bat nearby.

"Ok?"

Claire frowned, her entire body turning crimson, veins bulging in her arms. She suddenly raised her left hand, grabbed the reckless, blood-red bat by its jaw, and slammed it hard to the ground.

Bang! !

Dust erupted, yet the blood-red bat was still struggling!
"What a strong body!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Claire's eyes, and she subconsciously raised her right index finger, making the martial arts gesture she had practiced hundreds of times over the past few days.

Vajra Finger!
Click!

The blood-red bats that I had pierced countless times with my homemade spear without any effect were now even more brittle than stone!
Before Claire could even react, her finger was already piercing the blood-red bat's skull.

"Squeak!"

The blood-red bat actually let out a pitiful cry similar to that of a rat, its body twitched a few times, and then quickly fell silent.

"squeak!"

Although it was just a sound similar to the squeaking of a mouse, Claire clearly heard the emotion of anger in it.

A foul gust of wind resolutely swept towards Claire's back!

"drink!"

Claire roared, her muscles bulging, and grabbed the mangled body in her hands, slamming it behind her with all her might.

Snapped--!
The mangled body emitted a crisp, ear-piercing explosion, directly slamming another strong, blood-red bat to the ground, where it couldn't get up for a long time.

Just then, five or six bats that were there to assist rushed up.

Life force surged from her dantian into her arms. Although it quickly drained from her index finger, the power it brought did not diminish. Claire actually swung the remains of the blood-red bats like a whip, directly lashing out all the attacking blood-red bats!

"squeak!"

"Squeak!"

……

A series of piercing cries rose and fell, and the swarm of bats surrounding Claire hesitated for a moment.

what happened?
Why did humans, who were just so soft and vulnerable, suddenly become so ferocious?

"Keep going!"

Covered in wounds, Claire glared fiercely, showing no fear of the swarm of bats overhead. "Squeak squeak squeak!"

The bat at the very top of the sky made its first sound, which, although similar to the squeaking of a mouse, was filled with a sense of majesty.

The entire swarm of bats seemed to have finally found its leader. They ignored Claire and flew back in the direction they had come from, completely disregarding the blood-red bats on the ground that were squeaking and unable to get up for a long time.

Seeing this, Claire immediately discarded the broken piece in her hand and quickly finished off the injured bats on the ground.

We took advantage of their ignorance of our true strength to shoot down these bats; we can't let them fly away again.

Just as she finished doing all that, Claire vaguely heard a shout.

"Father!"

Bevan's voice?
Claire looked up and soon spotted a figure waving its arms on the distant hillside.

—Wait, why is there only one person?
Where is Lord Yaro?
Claire glanced back at the swarm of bats, but seeing that they showed no intention of turning back, she relaxed slightly.

Looking around, I soon spotted an abandoned wicker basket not far away, with stone fragments scattered all over the ground.

Having noted the location where the stone scraps had fallen, Claire, lightly equipped, quickly ran towards Bevin's direction.

Before long, Claire ran to Bevin's side, looked around, and quickly noticed the peculiar armor. After examining it carefully for a few moments, she discovered something unusual.

—That was an empty suit of armor, not Lord Yaro wearing armor.

"Where is Lord Yarrow? Why are you left here all alone?" Claire frowned, annoyed by Yarrow's irresponsibility.

How could they leave a child like Bevan alone in the wilderness?

Not to mention those strange giant bats, even an ordinary wild beast would be beyond his ability to handle!
“Teacher Yaro went to find the nests of those giant bats. Father, could you go and see what happened there? See if you can help the teacher?” Bevan explained quickly.

Claire glanced in the direction from which the roaring sound was still emanating, pondered for a moment, and shook her head, saying:
"No, I need to stay here and protect you. It's too dangerous for you to be alone."

"I don't need your protection. My teacher left me with ways to save my life. Look at the gun in my hand, and look at the Wind Dragon Armor next to me..."

Bevin quickly explained the function of the spear in his hand and the effect of the Wind Dragon Armor beside him.

After hearing Bevan's explanation, Claire's resentment disappeared.

But he still refused: "A weapon that can only be used once and an uncontrollable combat armor are not enough to fully protect you. Your teacher must have considered that I was nearby. If I also leave, and something happens, no one will be able to save you in time."

Bevin could only rephrase his question, "Father, could you take me with you to see it?"

Having witnessed the power Yaro unleashed in the giant's bizarre space, Beben wasn't initially worried about Yaro's safety. However, the continuous booming sounds now likely indicated that his teacher was in trouble.

He didn't know exactly what had happened, but what if they were locked in a stalemate with the enemy?

Perhaps my father rushing over there will be the last chip that tipped the scales.

“We won’t go close, we’ll just observe from a distance to see what’s going on! If nothing’s wrong, we don’t need to get close, but if something does happen, you can make a decision based on the situation!” Bevan urged anxiously.

These words finally moved Claire.

Right!

We need to know exactly what's causing these continuous roaring sounds.

Whether to flee or fight, a decision must be made.

Having regained her composure, Claire decisively said, "Alright, let's go!"
