Rejoice, Little Rabbit!

"GROOOAAAAA!" A roar echoed in the labyrinth corridor. The origin of that roar, the Bear that was the strongest monster on this floor, rushed towards its target, drawing claws to tear its annoying prey.

Said annoying prey was no other than our protagonist, Rob Freeman.

No, he was Rob F. Abysslord as he was under the influence of his Abyss Break derivative skill.

In an instant, the Bear relocated in front of Abysslord and slashed its long and sharp claws downwards. However, Abysslord didn't dodge the Bear's attack and let it hit him.

Abysslord didn't freeze in surprise like before. In his current state, he had become hyper-competent. The attack from the Bear was not capable of threatening his life anymore.

Previously, his Wild Intuition had warned him that the Bear was stronger than him. In other words, the Bear had higher stats than him. However, the Bear didn't have much higher Agility than him.

After all, the Bear was more of a strength-based monster than the agility-based one. Still, its Agility was a few dozens of points higher than his Agility.

If his Agility at that time was 550 points, the Bear had 600 points in its agility. However, the difference of 50 points is not a problem for the hyper-competent Abysslord.

If he didn't freeze in shock earlier, he could surely dodge the Bear's attack with the help of some skills that temporarily increased his speed. Regardless of the 'what-if's' scenario, Abysslord allowed the Bear's claws to hit him. He was not bored with life or anything. Basically, the Bear's attacks weren't capable of threatening Rob's life anymore because-

*Puff!* Abysslord exploded into thick black smoke when the Bear's claws hit him. And then-

"Foolish beast, it's useless!"

"Pitiful beast, it's futile!"

The same two voices, which had to be Abysslord's, echoed through the labyrinth corridor, overlapping one another.

The Bear turned to where the two voices came from and found two Robs posing. One had a pose that raised his left knee to level with his chest, his toes pointing down the floor and his arms raised like an eagle spreading its wings, while the other tauntingly showed his back at the Bear and turned his head to the side to show the side of his face, the muzzle of his revolver touching the bridge of his glasses.

For a moment, the Bear was confused because its annoying prey had become two. Soon, it became enraged because it felt insulted by their silly actions.

"Groooooooaaaaaaaaa!" The Bear let loose a terrific roar. Ominous red magic power erupted from its body. Then, it raised its arms and slashed downwards, launching two red wind blades towards two Abysslord posing like a fool in distance.

"Useless!" The Abysslord who tauntingly showed his back at the Bear twirled like a skilled ballerina to dodge the red wind blade. Once he stopped twirling, he faced the Bear with his sword raised over his head and his left hand that held his revolver outstretched at the Bear with a thumb down.

Meanwhile, the Abysslord that did the Eagle Pose let the wind blade bisect him. However, his body that was split into two exploded into thick black smoke that, after dispersing, showed two Abysslords.

"Pointless!" "Meaningless!" Their voices overlapped as they leaned their backs against each other while doing the same pose as the Abysslord that'd dodged the wind blade.

"Groooooaaaaaaa!" The Bear released a blood-curdling roar of rage. It finally realized its annoying preys were making fun of it.

The Bear shot more wind blades at Abysslords. However, they would either dodge the wind blade while shouting "Useless!" or allow the wind blade to split them, only for them to become two while exclaiming "Pointless!" and "Meaningless!" that overlapped.

The Bear kept sending wind blades. It had gone mad in rage.

However, Abysslords kept propagating whenever the wind blade split them in two. From three into five. Then, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, and so on.

Their mocking "Useless!", "Pointless!", and "Meaningless!" kept echoing in the labyrinth corridor like a broken recorder.

If someone saw it, one would be terrified by it. After all, the visual of your opponent propagating endlessly would give you a traumatic experience. It showed how hopeless your situation was.

It was no longer a fight. It had become bullying.

The Bear soon realized its dire situation. The rage in its eyes transformed into panic and fear. It had unconsciously moved back as it launched its wind blades in desperation.

Soon, the labyrinth corridor was filled with countless Abysslords. All of them were posing, and some had the same pose.

The Bear had moved back until its back was almost touching a wall. The distance between the wall and its back was no more than two meters. It finally stopped its desperate attack and heaved in exhaustion.

One of the Abysslords stepped forward, making the Bear take a single step back unintentionally in fear. Then, that Abysslord said, "Fuh~. Have you seen it~? The absolute despair from futilely challenging the unfathomable abyss~?"

The Bear shook its head in denial. Its teary eyes, opened wide and filled with despair and hopelessness, were as if screaming "It can't be! This isn't real! This must be a dream!"

The Abysslord who had questioned the Bear suddenly pushed his sunglasses with the muzzle of his revolver. "Whence the bell tolls~."

Another Abysslord stepped forward and finished it. "the end is nigh~."

Another one stepped forward. "The call from the beyond~."

And another one. "Do you hear it~?"

And another one. "The gate of the underworld~."

And another one. "Have you glimpsed it~?"

And another one. "The cold yet comforting presence of lady death, the seductive ruler of the mysterious great beyond~."

And another one. "Oy! Me, that was too long! Remember the others are waiting for their turns!"

"Ah, sorry!" The one who had spoken longer line than necessary before the complaining last one apologized sheepishly.

The complaining Abysslord turned to the Bear and said, "The eerie presence of death~."

Then, another one stepped forward. "Have you felt it~?"

And another one. "The whispers of the netherworld~."

And another one. "Have you heard it~?"

And another one. "The cold glint of the Reaper's scythe~."

And another one. "Have you seen it~?"

After one Abysslord said an edgy or cringey line, the next one would give the Bear a question. It continued until almost all Abysslords had their individual turns.

Though the Bear had been pushed to the corner, driven to absolute hopelessness by their bullying, it couldn't help but feel confused at their questions. Why the hell did they ask it such questions?! Why did they not just end its life quickly without making fun of it?!

It was finally the turn of the third to the last Abysslord to take a step forward. "I can see it~!"

The second to the last stepped forward. "The confusion in your eyes~!"

Finally, the last one stepped forward. "Don't you know~?"

"That you're already dead~đŸŽ”."

One Abysslord somehow appeared behind the Bear and whispered that with an ominous tone.

At that moment, the Bear couldn't feel its body from its neck down anymore. It was as if its spine had been severed, which was true as the Abysslord who had appeared behind it had done it.

After the Bear fell on the ground like a marionette that had its strings cut off, all of Abysslords exploded into thick black smoke. After the smoke dispersed, only one Abysslord was left. He was pointing his revolver at the Bear's face.

"May you have a great adventure in your next life! Say "Hi!" to the lovely Lady Death from yours truly! Sayonara~!"

Rob F. Abysslord invoked his Electrokinesis, cladding his body in crimson sparks. Then, he pulled the trigger, and a bullet came out of his revolver with a loud *Bang!* and penetrated the Bear's head, reaping its life.

After killing the Bear, Abysslord threw his revolver up. As his revolver spun above his head, he pushed up the bridge of his sunglasses with his finger. "Prey slaughtered~!"

Abysslord caught the falling revolver by the handle, after which he tapped the Bear's corpse with his boot-clad left foot, storing it in the Item Box. He turned around and snorted, "Fuuuh~."

Abysslord just stood there for a few moments. However, he suddenly turned in one rock's direction. "Is peeking fun? Show yourself before this Lord forces you to come out!"

For a full minute, nothing happened. When Abysslord almost lost his patience, a pair of bunny's ears appeared from behind the rock. Then, a Rabbit fully came out of its hiding place behind the rock.

"Hooh~?" Abysslord released a sound of interest. He couldn't sense any malice from the Rabbit. In fact, he could see its red eyes glimmering with awe and wonder as it gazed at him. It was as if the Rabbit was admiring its idol from afar.

Abysslord relocated in front of the Rabbit in an instant. Despite the sudden appearance of Abysslord in front of it, the Rabbit didn't show any sign of hostility. It didn't even run away. It sensed that Abysslord didn't intend to harm it. As such, it kept gazing at Abysslord in awe and wonder.

"Fumu!" Abysslord nodded as if he had realized something. "I see! So, that's how it is! Have you realized my magnificence, little one?"

"Kyuu?" Despite having the intelligence of an ordinary animal, the Rabbit still responded with a cute voice that didn't fit its threat level as a monster that inhabited this floor.

"Fumu! Very well!" Abysslord nodded and threw his right hand to the side in a flourish as if he had decided something important. "You have pleased this Lord immensely! Rejoice, little one! This Lord shall grant you an invaluable boon! Both blessing and curse of the abyss!"

"Fou?" The Rabbit tilted its head in confusion.

Instead of answering, Abysslord took out a stone vial from the Item Box. He then transmuted the rock between him and the Rabbit, creating a smooth indention on it, and poured the Ambrosia into the indention.

Then, he declared, "Feast in the essence of the abyss! Unshackle yourself from your pitiful destiny, break through your limits, and transcend your current self! Be reborn as an entity both blessed and cursed by the abyss!"

Of course, the Rabbit didn't understand the over-the-top monologue coming out of Abysslord's mouth. Even so, it could sense the potent magic power contained in the small quantity of that glowing substance.

The Rabbit understood that the substance, which was no other than Ambrosia, was very beneficial for it. Therefore, it consumed the substance without hesitation.

After the Rabbit drank all the Ambrosia in the indention, ominous red magic power erupted from it. It released a loud and somewhat disturbing "KYUUUI~!" as if it experienced a foodgasm.

To make it seem even more disturbing, the Rabbit's crimson irises dilated and rolled up into its skull as it was drowned in absolute bliss. It was even drooling.

Fortunately, the Rabbit's fur covered its skin. Otherwise, its disturbing blush could be seen.

Seeing such a disturbing scene, Abysslord showed a wicked grin instead of being disgusted. He was satisfied with what he was witnessing.

A few moments later, the Rabbit's rampant magic power calmed down. Even so, its magic power pool had grown up tremendously, almost double in volume.

On top of that, the Rabbit's eyes glinted with the intelligence and sentience beyond that of an ordinary animal. Its intelligence had reached the level of an ordinary human.

Indeed, Ambrosia could not only be a powerful healing substance and an "elixir of life" but could also help the monsters that drank it to gain sentience.

After recovering from its high, the Rabbit gazed at Abysslord. In its crimson eyes, fanatical loyalty could be seen.

For the Rabbit, it had been truly reborn. As such, it had become fanatically loyal to its new Lord and Savior who made this miracle happen.

"Fu-hahaha!" Abysslord released a peal of ominous laughter after seeing the intelligence, sentience, and fanatical loyalty in the Rabbit's eyes. "Rejoice, Little Rabbit-!"

Here's the last chapter of the mass update, 5 chapters as promised for today. Anyways, as a reminder, the publishing schedule will slow down to one chapter per day (if nothing happens IRL).
