Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 979: Island Of Terror (Part 2)



The white rabbit's fur was quickly soaked in red blood as it landed on the ground, the heart still attached to the end of its horn. With a quick shake, the heart fell to the floor, along with part of the blood shaking off.

The warriors on the beach were somewhat spread out, looking to see if they could find anything on the beach area first as clues, and that's when one of the warriors around ten meters away had spotted and saw everything that happened.

"BEAST!" the warrior shouted. "HIGH-LEVEL BEAST HAS BEEN SPOTTED!"

His cries were powered with Qi, catching the attention of everyone in the area. They turned their heads to look at the commotion; they could see the dead warrior on the ground, one from the Illumination Clan, and a middle-stage warrior at that.

However, where was the ferocious high-level beast that had killed him? It was nowhere in sight.

One of the other warriors nearby drew their sword, heading in the direction of the fallen warrior.

"The rabbit, the rabbit!" the warrior cried out again.

"Are you talking about this thing?" the warrior said.

Just like before, the rabbit had readied its hind legs and snapped forward. The warrior lifted his sword in the way, but the tip of the horn, the moment it touched the sword, broke right through it, and the horn ended up piercing through the warrior.

It hadn't pierced directly through, but it was a serious wound, and it had sent the warrior onto his back. The rabbit was on the warrior's chest and quickly lifted its horn out from his body before jumping in the air and hurling down, stabbing right through his chest again with the horn.

This time, it wasn't just one warrior that had witnessed what had taken place. It was nearly everyone on the beach.

A panic had set in, with several drawing their weapons but with none charging in. The first warrior was a middle-stage warrior; even with all of his Qi, the beast had torn through it.

It was fast and small in size, making it harder to hit. The second warrior that had been killed, although an initial-stage warrior, was one at the peak, and blocking its attack with his sword had yielded no results.

The ones weaker than the two individuals that were killed were now extremely hesitant at what was happening.

It didn't matter though, because the rabbit was going to be ready to attack either way. It bent its hind legs and then launched itself at a warrior that was far away.

Seeing this, two of the Light Faction warriors from the Aurora Clan dived towards the one being attacked, and three of the swords met at the same point of the horn. Qi was surrounding the area, flowing, and they had managed to stop the attack.

"You're dead!" one of the Illumination Clan warriors exclaimed and swung for the rabbit, but it quickly fell to the floor, causing his swing to miss completely, and then the rabbit blasted itself, stabbing right through the warrior's foot.

The warrior almost instantly fell to the floor. The panic was continuing over the warriors as they were trying to get the handle on one rabbit.

"Seriously?" Gelgar sighed. "Is there not one capable warrior in this group to take care of a simple beast?"

From his back, Gelgar had pulled out what looked like a trident. He was aiming carefully, ready to throw it from his position right at the rabbit, but before he released it, another person had caught it right by the scruff of its neck.

"I guess it's true," Red said. "These beasts are a lot stronger from this island."

The rabbit was struggling; it was shaking about and kicking the air. Each time it kicked its legs, the powerful force hit the ground below. They could hear a loud bang, even though it was at least a meter and a half from the floor.

Looking at this sight was only frightening the warriors even more. Quickly, Red lifted his other hand and placed it on the rabbit's neck. It was done in a smooth motion, and then the hand dropped by his side.

The others didn't see what happened but were only able to see the outcome of the blood pouring from the beast's neck.

"The crystal from these things should be quite helpful, right? Maybe a level 5 power stone? No, is it even above that?" Red asked as he dug in with his other hand searching for the power stone.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

While this was happening, Gelgar, Krynic, as well as all of the Elders from the Dawnblade Clan, were all paying close attention to Red.

"He didn't use any Qi, at least not Qi that I could feel," Beatrix commented.

"I believe you are correct," Ricar replied. "And judging by the fact the beast was able to best a few middle-stage warriors in combat, it's quite clear he is above them in leaps and bounds." This was the thought that was running through many of their heads, but that led Beatrix to think of another question.

"Is it quite possible that this man from Alter is even stronger than you?" Beatrix asked.

Out of all of those present, it was presumed that Ricar was the strongest. He was in the Dawnblade Clan, and the other two middle-stage warriors, although powerful, weren't strong enough to be considered the top of their clans.

"I hope we don't have to find an answer to that question," Ricar responded. "After all, we need to remember that this man is on our side."

There was a reason why Alter had sent him after all, and this was also a chance for them to see just how powerful the people in the organization they were working with were.

The group cleared up the dead bodies and started to treat the wounded. It was more than they had expected from their run-in with the first beast, and everyone was far more alert now.

They were careful to spot any more bunnies. A few times they had been startled by the rustle of feathers, but it was just their own colleague's foot.

That's when one could hear the rustling of leaves again. The warrior's heart sank as he

retreated.

"What's wrong, did you see another bunny?" a warrior asked.

The man shook his head and pointed in the direction of the jungle.

That's when, coming out of the forest this time, was what looked like a white-furred monkey

with two tails and four arms standing there.

It looked at the group of people menacingly.

"Well, if a rabbit was able to cause that much mess, it makes me wonder what this monkey is going to do," Red smiled.
