Chapter 041.
From far away, a large horned rabbit the height of a human is running towards Zeon. It has a horn on its head like a unicorn, and its fur is a shining golden color.
*Pyung*Pyung*
"Kyu! Wow! Kyuakkyukkyun!!!"
For a moment, I thought about attacking with my staff, but no matter how I looked at it, it seemed like the Golden Horned Rabbit was kind to me.
A golden horned rabbit stood in front of me and licked my cheek with its tongue
"Kyu! Kyu-kyu!"
"Okay, okay. You're nice."
"Kyuu!"
"What is your name?"
"Kyuu?"
The golden horned rabbit tilts its head cutely.
"You don't have a name yet. Then I will call you 'Lia' from now on."
"Kyu!!"
Hop, hop, hop
Lia seems happy to have a name, so she wags her fluffy tail and runs around me like a puppy.
If my guess is correct, Lia is my helper in this imaginary world that was created thanks to Aris' love for me. If you follow Lia well, she might be able to find Aris easily.
"But why a horned rabbit?"
Come to think of it, the monsters I met when I had a party match with Aris in Frenu Plains were horned rabbits and slimes. Aris must have really liked the horned rabbits.
"Lia. Where should I go now?"
"Kyu!"
Leah lifts one foot and points in the direction of the path.
"Can I just follow this path?"
"Quick!"
Leah nods her head. The direction is set, now all I have to do is follow it.
A party consisting of a wizard with an ultra-luxurious staff and a huge golden horned rabbit walks along the road. The surrounding area consists of fields, and wild horned rabbits run around innocently.
"Looking at it like this, Aris' mental world also seems quite comfortable. Are you sure you have a phobia?"
"Kyu~"
As I walk a little further, the air becomes heavier. The atmosphere feels tense, uncomfortable, and sticky.
'It felt like a languid afternoon just now, but now it feels like I'm entering the valley of death.'
"Leah. Do you know what this atmosphere is?"
"Wuuuuu!!!!"
Leah hopped over and pointed to a place.
"Oh!"
I froze at the strange sight. There is a boundary line drawn on the plain, and on my side of the line there are fresh grass and trees in full bloom, while on the other side there are only dried grass and rotten old trees. And if I see plump horned rabbits on my side, then on the other side, there are deadly spiders roaming around.
I got close to the border.
"There isn't really a line. It looked like a line because the green on one side contrasted with the grayish brown on the other side."
"Kyuuuuu…"
Lia is sad and droops her ears.
"Aris is over there?"
"Pyeong"
Leah nods her head.
"This is Aris' happy heart, and that is her depressed heart. I need to know the exact map."
I lifted Asgralde high into the sky and casted a magic.
"Asgralde! Make an eye in the sky!"
Light rayed from the jewel of Asgrade to the sky.
Then, a huge green eye was created high above the clouds. I was able to see the shape of this world through those eyes.
This world has a square shape, and from then on, the space itself is blurry and black. The blurry and black spaces are created due to the limitations of the size of the world of imagination and are places I cannot enter. But that's not the point.
"I can't believe it… All the land is a dead gray-brown color, and only the part where I am is a green circle, creating a safe zone."
I realized the truth of this safe zone.
"This safe zone is the affection I sowed in Aris' heart. I brought a ray of light to Aris' dead heart… Without me, Aris's heart would always have been a gloomy gray-brown color."
Because I am Aris' lover, it's easy to start. If it were someone else, I might have fallen right into a place full of spiders. And even if it fell into a safe area, it would have been attacked by horned rabbits.
If you follow the road, you will see a small village, and if you go further, you will see a castle surrounding a large village with a manor house. However, both are dead villages with no trace of human life.
I released the eyes of the sky and petted Lia and said.
"Aris must be in the village. Don't worry. Because I will save her. Let's go."
"Kyu!"
Lia answers energetically.
I crossed the border with Lia.
Kieeeee!!!
The moment I crossed the border, dog-sized spiders rushed screaming.
"Leah! Prepare for battle!"
"Kyuuuuuu!"
Lia growls, raising her horns and raising her hair on end.
"Krrrr! Krrrr!"
Spiders jump at us with their fangs out.
"Uuuuung"
When Lia throws a body slam at the spiders, one gets pierced by the horn and flails, while the rest get hit on the body and bounce off like popcorn. Lia is running around in front of me and doing her defense role well.
"Summon vines!"
I held Asgrade high and cast a spell. Thick vines rise from the ground, entangle the spiders and crush them.
Eventually, only broken pieces of spiders remained everywhere.
"Leah! Well done!"
"Kyuuuu!!!"
Leah comes running with her body shaking and bright eyes, and she licks my face.
'I'm going to have a good time!'
"Ahahaha! Are you okay? It's okay."
Then Leah looked next to me, and she screamed.
"Kyuuu!!!"
"What!"
A spider the size of a fist is flying next to me with its fangs sticking out.
'Were you hiding until now and then flying in looking for an opportunity?'
But the spider couldn't reach me because a dog-sized horned rabbit behind me jumped, caught the spider in its mouth, and chewed it up.
Before I knew it, numerous horned rabbits had gathered behind me.
"What's this! Are you all here to help me?"
"Kyuuuuu!!!!!"
The horned rabbits answer loudly. I looked at Leah, wanting her to explain.
Leah stuck out her chest and said with a proud look.
"Kyu! Kkkk! Kkow! Kkkk!!"
"They are your friends and subordinates? Will you help me purify this world?"
"Kyuuu!"
'This is how the warm affection I showered on Aris is coming back to me. I'm so glad.'
"Hey guys! Then, I'll clean up this area first!"
I pinned Asgralde to the ground and cast a purification spell.
"I confess.
To Asgralde, the cornerstone of a new era.
Infinite love overflowing with vitality
With hope shining like a star.
Bring life back to this fallen land."
Green vitality spreads from the spot where Asgralde was inserted, and the grass and trees that had been withered until now begin to come to life. From where I stand, the green color grows in a circle shape, crowding out the gloomy gray-brown color.
Suddenly, this place was transformed into a warm field full of life, with grass, flowers, and trees in full bloom.
"Kyu! Wow! Kkkk! Kyuuuuu~!!!"
Horned rabbits run around excitedly and eat grass and flowers. The sight of cute horned rabbits running around in a field full of grass is so beautiful that it makes me wonder if I have come to the Garden of Eden.
"Guys! Let's go now!"
Leah heard me and barked loudly.
"Kyuuuuu!!!"
The rabbits have gathered around me, and the number seems to have increased slightly compared to before.
"Leah. The number of horned rabbits has increased?"
"Kyu! Kyu!"
Leah pointed to the ground with her mouth.
"You were born here?"
"Kyuuuu!"
"I have purified this place and the number of horned rabbits, which mean warmth, has increased. So, if we keep purifying the area, we can create more horned rabbits?"
"Kyuúu!!"
Now what I have to do is decided. If it goes as I expected, the source of arachnophobia in small towns and castles will be embodied as boss monsters and there will be a lot of goons. Before capturing the boss, increase the number of horned rabbits on my side as much as possible.
"Leah! Give me a ride!"
"Kyuu!"
I climbed on Lia's back, sat down, and gave a loud command.
"Let's occupy the area away from the village first! March!"
"Kyuuuuu!!!!"
The Horned Rabbit Army responded to my command and began to advance into the surrounding gray space.
Hop, hop, hop, hop
After walking a little bit, a gloomy land appears. This time, dozens of spiders are gathered in one place and waiting for us.
Kieeeee!!!
Spiders threaten by raising their front legs and sticking out their fangs.
Wow! Crrrr! Wow!
Horned rabbits also stand on end and growl.
"Charge!!!"
While riding on Lia, I held out my wand and gave an order.
The horned rabbits charge at the spiders.
Spiders spit out webs from their tails.
Although some horned hares are caught in spider webs and struggle, most horned hares avoid spider webs by leaping brilliantly.
The horned rabbits slam their hard horns into the spider's body, and the sound of the collision echoes from all directions.
Puck
A giant spider the size of an elephant grabs a horned rabbit with the sharp claws of its front legs and brings it into its mouth.
"Kyuuuuu!"
The horned rabbit struggles desperately, then enters the spider's mouth and is torn to pieces.
"Lia! Charge!"
I rushed at the giant spider and fired vine thorns with magic at the spiders in my path.
The giant spider looks at me, clicks the claws of its front legs, and then lunges.
"Summon vines!"
When vines came out of the ground, a giant spider screamed and dodged the vines coming from all directions and shot a web at me from its tail.
Lia avoids the spider web by jumping like a rabbit.
"Striped vine!"
The vines I summoned spewed sticky liquid from their stems. When the giant spider's leg accidentally gets stuck on a sticky vine, the vines quickly surround the giant spider and hinder its movement.
The giant spider struggles, but it is already too late.
"Drive a pile!"
A huge stake appears in the air and slams straight into the giant spider's head.
After dealing with the giant spider, I look around and see that all the remaining spiders have been caught in vines or torn to pieces by horned rabbits. Because the country has heroes, the Horned Rabbit Army has no choice but to win.
I raised my staff and shouted proudly.
"We have taken over this area too!!!"
"Kyuuuuung! Kyuu! Kyuuu!!!"
The horned rabbits jump in place in joy at my command. I also purified this area into a green field.
.
.
.
I purified the areas away from the village and turned them into warm fields. Now there are hundreds of horned rabbits following me.
Before we knew it, it was night.
"Leah. I'm hungry, but is there anything to eat?"
"Kyuuuu!"
A small horned rabbit came and lay down in front of me.
