132- The Darkness Beckons

"Damn it! Damn it!" Adaloun cursed as he tried fending off the bat-like humanoid creatures from attacking him. He made good use of his shield, deflecting the attacks as they rushed in with their sharp talons. But his light rune proved to be no match for the eyeless creatures.

Without his sword Adaloun was unable to counter the attacks, so he improvised. Using the runes, he immediately set up his position to where he could deal the most damage. The monsters seemed to use sound as their means of detection which made it more difficult for him, as the segments on his armor would clang against each other. He also tried ramming them with his shield and found out that their skin was made of scales similar to that of a lizard. The shield obviously made no damage, but at the very least, it gave him an idea on how to attack them—in theory.
