Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1374 Encounter
The giant bat has already launched an attack.

It was like a black gust of wind, carrying a terrifying aura, and instantly pounced on the gangster closest to it.

The sharp claws pierced the gangster's shoulder easily like a blade, embedding deeply into the flesh, and blood gushed out from the wound.

The gangster let out a shrill scream.

Before the gangster could struggle, the bat opened its big mouth full of sharp fangs and bit the gangster's neck hard.

The teeth were deeply embedded in the artery, and the gangster's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets.

As the bat sucked powerfully, the gangster's body began to twitch uncontrollably.

When the other bad guys saw this, they turned pale with fear and shouted in terror one after another.

The scarred man's voice changed tone, and he yelled hysterically: "What the hell is this? Run!"

Like frightened birds, everyone turned around and ran desperately towards the alley entrance, their steps were hurried and they pushed each other.

But how could the giant bat let them go so easily? It threw the body of the gangster in its hand, which had been drained of most of its blood and was as soft as a rag, to the side. The body hit the wall heavily with a dull sound, then slid down weakly, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Then, the bat spread its huge wings, and the flapping of its wings brought up a strong wind, like the wings of the god of death, and it quickly chased after the fleeing gangsters.

Erina Nakiri collapsed on the ground, her eyes wide open, watching everything in horror.

Her body shook violently uncontrollably and tears flowed out like a flood.

At this moment, she saw the giant bat catch up with a thug who was running a little slower, and knocked him to the ground with its strong hind legs.

The gangster's face hit the ground heavily, and blood immediately flowed from his nose and mouth.

The bat looked down from above and let out a deafening scream, then bit the gangster's throat. Blood spurted out, forming a shocking blood mist in the air.

The bat was sucking the gangster's blood crazily. The gangster kicked the ground weakly with his limbs and waved his hands in the air, trying to grab something to save his life, but everything was in vain.

As the blood flowed, the gangster's movements became weaker and weaker, and he finally stopped struggling. His body became shriveled and his skin was tightly attached to his bones, like a horrible human skin.

After dealing with the thug, Bat raised his head with a mouth full of blood. His red eyes were like burning blood balls as he looked at the scarred man who was fleeing frantically.

It let out a sharp cry that pierced the night sky, and the sound was filled with bloodthirsty desire.

Then, it flapped its wings again and flew up, like a black lightning, quickly passing over the ground and instantly approaching the scarred man.

The scarred man felt a strong wind behind him and turned around subconsciously, only to see a huge, terrifying bat face covered in blood close at hand.

His heart suddenly shrank, his legs softened, and he collapsed to the ground, holding his head with both hands, begging frantically: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

But the bat had no mercy. It pressed down hard on his body with its sharp claws. The huge force made the scarred man's ribs crack under the heavy weight.

The bat's mouth moved close to his neck again and bit down. Blood gushed out like a fountain. The scarred man's begging for mercy stopped abruptly, leaving only the gurgling sound of blood bubbles in his throat.

As the bats greedily sucked the food, the scarred man's life quickly faded away like a candle in the wind. His body gradually became like a mummy at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyeballs sunken deeply into his eye sockets, as if swallowed by darkness, and his skin was covered with wrinkles, hanging loosely on his bones, as if he had gone through hundreds of years of vicissitudes and lost all vitality.

After dealing with the last thug, the giant bat, with blood still flowing from the corners of its mouth, slowly turned its head, and its eyes emitting a strange red light locked onto Erina Nakiri who was sitting on the ground.

Erina's heart suddenly tightened. The fear that had just eased a little because of the bat taking care of the gangsters instantly came back like a surging tide.

She was fully convinced that she would also die here. Her body became stiff as a stone due to extreme fear. Every inch of her muscles was tense, but she could not move at all. She could only watch the horrible bat, which exuded a bloody smell, approaching her step by step with heavy and slow steps. The shadow of death enveloped her more and more.

At this critical moment, a dazzling golden light shot out from the distant sky like lightning, tearing through the darkness.

The golden light, with its indestructible momentum, pierced straight through the body of the giant bat.

In an instant, the giant bat let out a shrill scream.

Under Erina Nakiri's horrified gaze, the bat's body quickly dissipated like burning ashes, turning into countless black fragments that drifted away in the wind and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Erina Nakiri's tense nerves broke in an instant, and her whole body collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud.

When she collapsed before, she still had a little strength to support herself, but at this moment, she felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, as if every bone had been pulled out of her body, and she lay limply on the dusty and bloody ground.

It was no wonder that she was so weak. After all, before this, the most dangerous scene she had experienced was just watching the truck monster killing and eating people from a distance at the venue. But now, she was facing the terrifying attacks of monsters and demons at close range. The huge psychological shock almost made her collapse.

"Are you okay?"

A gentle yet powerful voice came from above.

Erina Nakiri raised her head with difficulty and saw Luther appear in front of her in time.

Luther leaned forward slightly and looked at her with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you."

Erina Nakiri said weakly.

In this chaotic moment, she originally thought that the people who would save her would be those from Totsuki Academy. Although Totsuki Espada was the only one who possessed psychic powers in Totsuki Academy, they were a group she was familiar with after all.

But the person who appeared in front of her now was a strange man, which surprised her.

After experiencing this life-and-death crisis, Erina Nakiri deeply realized that she had stepped into the mysterious realm of supernatural powers.

Her heart couldn't help but ripple, and a bold idea quietly emerged: Can she use the person in front of her to truly come into contact with and gain a deeper understanding of the supernatural power?

After all, Erina Nakiri was still unwilling to accept that she could not become an extraordinary person.

As if he could see through Erina Nakiri's thoughts, Luther raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a faint smile, and said smoothly: "You have good psychic talent, do you want to become a practitioner?"
