But the bats didn’t stop moving, their eyes turned crazier as the seconds passed, they wanted Mormo dead.
While a new sword flew into Mormo’s hands, the bats shouted together. Strong sonic waves surrounded the area, Mormo felt like his head was about to explode and that he is about to throw up.
Two bats flew in Mormo’s direction to smash him, Mormo wasn’t as good as Yaacov at influencing others with his essence, so he couldn’t make the bats think that he is somewhere else, but he tried to make them think that he is stronger and more formidable than he really is. Unfortunately, it didn’t help in any way, the bats were ready to die fighting.
Mormo couldn’t move because of the sonic waves, so the bats hit him easily. The waves never stopped, there were enough bats to keep the waves forever.
Mormo flew around the cave every time a bat smashed into him, all his essence surrounded his skin evenly, to make the attack less effective, but the sonic waves made it very hard for Mormo to think.
With great determination, Mormo with his essence damaged his ears, turning himself temporarily deaf.
To his horror, it didn’t help, the waves that the bats produced still affected him.
His body accumulated a lot of damage by now. He couldn’t stay in the cave, he had to run!
Mormo thought about it again, “How pathetic am I? Do I know anything besides running away? And how can I even run in this situation?”
BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM
Mormo crushed into the floor again, sonic waves surrounding him, unable to move, blood rushed out of his ears, while all of his body was covered with brushes and hematomas.
“Sound is just a wave, and I can make waves with my essence!” It was a simple thought but that was all he could do under the influence of the bats.
He desperately tried to use his essence to create waves to nullify the waves that the bats created.
It was easy to create waves, he could just randomly move his essence around, but to nullify ever-changing waves, he needed somehow to predict their pattern and create the exact opposite pattern, while analyzing thousands of bats’ sonic waves at once!
Mormo couldn’t hear anything at the moment, so he used this to his advantage and created a huge sound near him by crashing his essence over and over again against each other.
It created a terrible noise that distorted the sonic waves to some extent.
The bats, as if they were out of their mind, still kept flying in his direction to smash into him.
Mormo could think more clearly now, his mind wasn’t affected as much as it were by the sonic waves, partly because of the strong noises that he made, which created a wave that distorted the sonic waves, and partly because he damaged his eardrum!

He expanded his essence in the direction of the flying bat that was about to smash into him. He could control only 10 percent of his essence as he tried to influence the bat to see him twice, but it didn’t help at all, the bat still flew in his direction with a crazy expression.
Mormo tried to search for anything outside or inside the bat’s body that could control it to that extent, but he found nothing, so he inserted all of his available essence into the bat’s body, through its eyes, and made the essence run rampage inside the bat, grilling all of its insides into a paste.
The skin of the bat was strong, but its inside was very weak, so the essence destroyed its inside easily. The bat fell to the ground dead.
Mormo could feel that his essence grew stronger because of the crazy amount of fear that he consumed from the bats earlier.
It was weird because he fought against monsters for years, but he never grew that much stronger during a battle, not even when he fought the wolves back then when he was a kid. In previous times his essence just become available again, but now his essence is visibly stronger!
Unfortunately for Mormo, no essence could be detected from the bats, they turned completely crazy!
Mormo expended his essence again trying to understand the coming sonic waves or the patterns that the bats were using. He found out that even if all the bats are shouting randomly, the sonic waves are adding to one another and in the middle of the road to him, turning into eight giant and strong streams of waves, so all he needed to do was to detect the waves and then nullify each of them separately, by creating the opposite waves with his essence!
He nullified the essence that created the strong sound and called it back to him.
He took 80 percent of his essence and turned them into 8 groups. He started to analyze the waves and tried to create 8 waves with the same wavelength as the coming sonic waves, now that his mind wasn’t affected by all the noises, it wasn’t a hard task. In a few seconds, he already managed to nullify the sonic waves!
But that wasn’t all, after his initial success he tried to use only 10 percent of his essence to create eight different waves, the same way he circled his essence into multiple seeds during his days in school, and very quickly he managed to do it!
The only problem was that even if 90 percent of his essence were free, he used a lot of his brain power to fight with his essence. Every use of it is the same as solving a mathematical problem for Mormo, but his mind was filled with creating eight waves of sound in parallel, so it was quite difficult for him to think about anything else.
“I’m not running! But I need my friends!” he thought as he started to run out of the cave. Now, that a big chunk of the roof fall because of him, it was quite easy, he just jumped as high as he could and tried to fly out of the cave as if he was a rocket!
The bats didn’t think much, they just smashed into him which made him fly out of the cave faster.
The sonic waves were much stronger inside the cave, when he exited the cave, the waves couldn’t do as much damage to him as they did in the cave. He could understand it by analyzing the coming waves, so he stopped his wave creation process for now.
As he flew out of the cave, the thousands of bats flew after him crazily.
Mormo tried to search for Yaacov and Moshe, but he didn’t have to use his essence for that, a mob of monsters run from all over the forest in one direction, and Mormo could easily predict that he could find Moshe and Yaacov there, probably alive.
“At the very least, I don’t feel bad for bringing more monsters”, Mormo thought as he made one explosion after the other, which threw him faster and faster in the direction of Yaacov and Moshe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“You are a lunatic! We must run from here! Listen to me! Whatever you think doesn’t count!” Yaacov shouted in Moshe’s face. Moshe was quite disappointed but nodded his head in agreement.
“BOOM” … “BOOM” … “BOOM” a series of explosions could be heard from afar, but each time the explosion grew stronger as if something was flying in their direction. Both of them looked in the direction of the noise, they saw Mormo flying in their direction, covered in blood and mud. Each explosion made his state a little bit worse, while infinity bats flew after him.
Eventually, Mormo was crushed into the ground.
Looking half-dead Mormo stood up, looked at both of them, and asked, “What with all of these animals that you managed to gather around you?” he said it very seriously, but Yaacov and Moshe couldn’t do anything but smile as they looked at the thousands of bats that came after Mormo to surround them.
Moshe’s sparkling essence flew around Mormo and started to tend to Mormo’s wounds.
Mormo looked at him in utter shock! He was confused and sad, he didn’t want Moshe to have this cursed power.
“How did he even get it?” Mormo thought.
“I can heal now myself and others, like that, we could fight as much as we want without any problems!” declared Moshe.
“Oh, and I’m very strong”, he said confidently.
Moshe’s essence flew around all of them, it was beautiful, and it sparkled gently with all the colors of the rainbow, it was a very relaxing view if not for the mobs of monsters that surrounded them, with ever-increasing numbers.
“Both of you, listen to me! We are going to … “ Mormo said and stopped for a moment.
“Stop them?” Moshe asked.
“Run!” Yaacov pleaded.
“Massacre all of them”, Mormo said with a crazy gleam in his eyes!
Both, Yaacov and Moshe ready themselves for the upcoming battle.
