Wilbur swiftly dodged the il and then heard a loud crash. The apple stall behind him was shattered, sending splintered wood and apples flying in all directions.


    Its beloved apples scattered all over the ground, which infuriated the bat creature, causing its eyes to go red. It swung the il again, hurling it fiercely at Wilbur.


    The il was twice as fast, but even so, it was far from being able to hit Wilbur.


    Bam!


    The attacknded on the ground, leaving behind arge hole. The bat creature then pulled the il back and swung it again.


    It seemed highly skilled at using the il, swinging it repeatedly at Wilbur. Wilbur dodged continuously, and so, the two of them moved through therge market, with the stalls around them constantly being hit by the il and breaking apart, sending splintered wood and products everywhere.


    Bam!


    The il smashed a stall that sold roasted ducks, and as Wilbur jumped into the air, a roasted duck flew right toward him. He caught the roasted duck with one hand, took a bite, then hurled it at the bat creature.


    Smack!


    The roasted duck hit the bat creature squarely in the face. Wilbur stared at the bat creature in shock, unable to believe that the roasted duck he casually threw actually hit the target. He knew the bat creature was not slow, so it could have easily dodged, yet it had been struck by his throw.


    Could it be that the creature froze in ce just because it saw him take a bite out of the roasted duck? Did it like food that much?


    Just as the thought crossed his mind, Wilbur instantly realized that he had almost forgotten something in the heat of the battle. The bat creature was indeed gluttonous.


    Since that was the case, he could use the gluttonous nature of the creature to turn his defense into offense.


    Nightless Elder had said that the five Night Demons were very powerful and advised Wilbur not to hold back, so he had been testing the bat creature''s capabilities. It was a master at using the il, but to Wilbur, it was still too weak.


    Just as Wilbur was about to fight back, the roasted duck seller who hid in the house suddenly yelled, "My roasted ducks! Damn you, bat creature! I can''t believe you ruined my stall!"


    Roar!


    The bat creature let out a furious roar and then swung the il at the seller. "Watch out!" yelled Wilbur.


    Wilbur moved swiftly and appeared in front of the seller. He raised his Magic Demon de and stopped the il attack. Sparks flew in an instant as the il was deflected. The il was sent flying, while the seller cowered on the ground in fear.


    Wilbur said, "Hurry up and get inside!"


    "Alright, right away," the seller replied.


    He turned to run into the house and closed the door. The bat creature looked at Wilbur. Seeing the two-storied building behind Wilbur, the bat creature''s eyes glinted with a cunning look. It then swung the il again, making it spin in the air.


    Wilbur felt a chill down his spine. He thought, ''Is it trying to...''


    The bat creature swung the il towards the two-story building in the heat of the moment. The street was filled with two-storied buildings. The bat creature constantly appeared in the market, but it would always eat the fruits and cooked meat in the market without harming anyone in the past.


    Somehow, the bat creature suddenly got violent this time and started attacking the innocent residents.
