Horned rabbit 2

"Be careful, Dad; this one is dangerous," Noah warned. The rabbit's speed is not to be underestimated.

Leo nodded in response, staring back at the rabbit in front of them, and said, "Garw Garw Garw." (We will focus on injuring its legs as much as possible.)

"Got it"

Rawr!!!

The rabbit rushed toward them once more, but this time with it leading other horned rabbits with it. Noah used [Ice slash] in an attempt to delay their rush and hopefully injure the formidable rabbit leading the charge.

But with its high agility, the rabbit easily avoided the slash and rushed forward at a rapid speed. The horned rabbit following its lead, however, is not so lucky as the arc of ice mana slices them in half.

Leo stepped forward and swung his hammer downward at the approaching rabbit.

Bang!!

A thunderous bang resounded through the tunnel as the hammer missed its mark and smashed into the ground.

The rabbit had leaped upward, avoiding the strike.

However, that was his greatest mistake.

A chunk of ice was hurled toward the rabbit, and being in mid-air, the rabbit had no way of evading it.

Bang!!

Another bang resounded as the chunk of ice smashed into the rabbit's face; its body did a 360-degree spin from the force.

Noah, not missing this opportunity, swings his sword at the rabbit's legs, slicing them off. The rabbit roared in pain.

Rawr!!

Dropped to the ground, the rabbit attempted to escape, knowing that his life was in danger now. But, with its legs severed, its attempt to escape was futile. Leo brought his hammer down, this time hitting the target and ending its life.

Ding!

Having defeated the warrior rabbit, the group proceeded further into the tunnel. During this, they encounter many more horned rabbits, which they effortlessly defeat. So far, other than the one they have previously fought, they have not confronted another warrior rabbit.

After 30 minutes of advancing through the tunnel, the group finally reached the end.

"Garw Garw Garw" (Remember, do not put your guard down at any moment, and if you are in danger, run. Understand?) Leo said it with the utmost seriousness.

Noah and Kene nodded their heads, showing that they understood. Taking a deep breath, they composed themselves for the final battle.

Stepping into the foreboding cave room, numerous glowing red eyes pierce through the eerie shadows staring at them. The spine-chilling atmosphere was filled with creepy squeaks and growls from the countless bloodthirsty rabbits.

At the center was the terrifying presence of a giant horned rabbit with large, fierce crimson eyes, towering over 2 meters in height, with a striking 1-meter-long greenhorn at the center of its head, and its fur a greyish silver color, different from all the other rabbits surrounding it, who all have white furs. It gave out a deafening roar, commanding the rabbits under its leadership to eliminate these bugs that dared to invade their home.

Kene used {Chilly Wind}, sending it toward the charging rabbit and spreading it in a wide range, making it hit as many of them as possible to thin out their number.

As the chilly wind blew at the horned rabbits, multiple rabbits were inflicted with frostbite, and some even froze to death. However, this did not stop their momentum as they pressed forward.

Rawr!!

"Daddy, I will take care of these guys," Kene said with a confident smile.

"Garw Garw." (Alright, but you better be careful.) Leo said, reminding her that safety comes first.

With Kene taking care of the small files, Leo and Noah bring their attention toward the beast that has not moved an inch since the beginning.

'Weird,' Leo thought.

This is quite strange behavior since they are the type of monsters who care for one another, unlike goblins. Is she going to watch as her comrades die one by one?

Rawr!

The giant rabbit gives out another command. This time at the horned warrior rabbit that had stayed beside her, commanding it to fight.

Having already experienced fighting this type of horned rabbit, Leo, and Noah coordinated with each other to slay the rabbit and were having an easier time dealing with it.

However, during the battle, the beast rabbit suddenly took action and used {wind ball}. A sphere made out of powerful wind hurled at Noah. Hitting on Noah's back, just as he was about to land a blow against the warrior rabbit, the windball shredded a part of the cloth he was wearing, blowing him away.

"Argh"

'Tsk, it could use magic!' Leo cursed and checked on Noah, "Garw Garw." (You alright?)

"Yeah…" Noah answered weakly, feeling pain in his back.

'Why didn't it use magic before? Perhaps afraid of injuring its comrades by mistake. But why couldn't it just go with the physical attack instead?' Leo mused as many questions popped up inside his head from the strange way the rabbit was acting.

Not having any answer, Leo decided to put it aside for now and deal with the situation in front of them first. Grabbing a wooden bottle from his bag on his waist, he gulped down stamina recovery fluid.

Gulp

'Ugh… I really need to work on the taste of these things.' He thought.

What a terrible taste! It was worse than the dog food he had eaten out of curiosity one time in his previous life. No wonder Kene complained so much.

Noah had drunk one too, and his expression was also hardened by the taste.

Anyway, now that their stamina was regenerating bit by bit, it was time for another round against the warrior rabbit. Knowing the beast rabbit could fire magic at them, they pay some attention to it to ensure they won't be taken by surprise again.

Noah and Leo bombarded the warrior rabbit with attacks, swing by swing. The rabbit, who dodged each attack with amazing speed, started to show signs of fatigue. It began to slow down, showing openings that Leo and Noah took advantage of.

The giant rabbit fired countless windballs at them, but now prepared for such an attack, Leo and Noah were able to swiftly dodge them and continue to put pressure on the lone warrior rabbit.

Ultimately, Noah, using {Vital Strike}, landed a critical stab to the heart. The rabbit's eyes lose their luster as its blood splashes onto Noah's face.
