Moon landed on the ground beside the fallen bat. His lightning was still crackling around his hand.
The bat struggled to rise. Its wing membranes twitched as it tried to force its body back into flight posture. Moon released another bolt into its chest.
The powerful current running through its body locked it down again, its small size contributing to the massive shut down as the current had less volume to travel across.
He didn't rush.
He fired several more bolts into the bat over the following minute. Each one damaged the bat's soul foundation a little more, cracking the defenses that would otherwise resist his mind-control technique. The bat's cries grew weaker with each strike. Its eyes lost some of their previous intensity. Its body twitched as it struggled to stay conscious.
When Moon was satisfied, he stopped.
He activated Curse.
