The Dragon Soul Forging

10. Last hurdle?

The rabbit monster we were facing this time was different than usual. Not sharp ears like daggers, but a long horn like a unicorn.

“Finally appeared also legendary monsters.” I said when facing another type of mutant rabbit that often appears in fantasy fiction stories.

[Horned rabbit]

As the name suggests, the horned rabbit has a weapon on the forehead in the form of sharp horns. The way this monster attacked was so simple, it just ran over its target and then gored it like a bull.

Although the attack is simpler than a rabbit dagger that can zigzag. But the advantage in competing rabbits is strength.

I don't want that half-meter-long horn to pierce through my stomach, if that happens I will definitely be instantly dying with blood rushing through.

“But I'll fight it.”

This is my chance to use the locust's sickle arm. Although the test target is not suitable because the horned rabbit has a cat-like posture. But I'm sure I can get about it.

“Alright come here!.” shouted I was preparing for an attack.

Roxy who was far away from me was just a spectator. He lay on the grass and occasionally yawned as if he was bored.

The horned rabbit began to run, the longer the run the faster. Then after entering a distance of five meters from me, the rabbit leaped violently making its movement like a torpedo, darting so fast towards the target.

The horned rabbit jump only moved straight so I could avoid it easily. All you need to realize is which part of the body the rabbit is targeting, after knowing it I can dodge perfectly without fear of getting hurt.

“You think such an easy attack could hurt me? Still too soon a thousand years old friend.” Arrogantly I shifted my position slightly making the Horned Rabbit pass me, the monster did not manage to land its attack.

My lips developed a smile. “Now it is my turn to attack.” vigorously I swing the arm of the Grasshopper, then.....

The sound of crickets rang in silence.

Roxy, sleeping in the grass, stared boredly at my unsuccessful collar on the horned rabbit.

“Hahahaha... Besides having horns, you also have incredible luck apparently.”

The horned rabbit thought only of the head as if it did not understand what I was saying.

The brown-skinned rabbit attacked again. “Come here, this time my attack will hit you.” My Grasshopper arm swings, “The luck you have is up, hahaha.”.

Werrr! My attack is back.

Jem! The sound of something being pierced.

“Hemmmm...”.

I calmly stared at the arm of the grasshopper I had used many times but did not hit the horned rabbit. Meanwhile my chest was pierced by the rabbit horn but I didn't care.

The shell of the iron centipede was hard enough to withstand the attacks of the horned rabbit. But the rabbit attack still remained strong until it was able to penetrate two layers of iron shell from the three layers I used to protect the chest.

As a result, the horned rabbit is trapped because the horn cannot be separated from the shell that is penetrated.

“Let me help.” I pull the stuck horned rabbit, then stare at it for a moment. Horned rabbits are no less cute than dagger rabbits.

Their red eyes hypnotized me so much that I couldn't bear to hurt this cute animal. But I have to do it....

“Hiyaaa!”

The horned rabbit I threw into the air, then I quickly slashed it with the arm of the praying Grasshopper. Although it was a bit difficult but I finally got to hit the ball of feathers, making blood splatter in all directions.

“Finally I can do it.” I said as I looked at the arm of the Grasshopper tainted by rabbit blood.

Seeing my success, Roxy got up and then after stretching her muscles, she barked as if she could not wait to continue on.

Woof! Roxy barked at me.

“Iya I'll be quick. Tck, aren't you a very impatient girl.”

After replacing the broken iron shell me and Roxy continued on their way to the mini market.

Just a few minutes after walking from where I was practicing using a new weapon (Worship Grasshopper Arm). We saw the place we were going.

The impatient Roxy wanted to run immediately, but I immediately prevented it. “Quiet comrade” my face turned serious,.

“We've come this far, you don't want this trip to end in another failure right?.” Roxy looked at me in surprise, but I kept looking around.

My feeling is that something is not right. “This area is too quiet.” Hearing my words Roxy immediately understood what was wrong.

There are no monsters around Minimarket. “Is this man or monster?. I wish there was someone who still survives.”

If the one who cleans the surrounding area is human, at least I can hope if the human has good nature and is easy to talk to.

But I also realized that sometimes human nature is worse than monsters. The movie's memories of life after the great destruction kept on being drawn in my head.

In this broken world, the system has been destroyed. Man adheres to the law of the jungle, where the strong will rule while the weak can only wait for their turn to be eaten.

Violence and deception are natural things, no one will uphold justice for the weak and foolish.

“But, at least if it's a human there is still a chance to meet good people.” I keep trying to be positive.

Looking at the surrounding area more closely, I did not find a single corpse, neither humans nor monsters none of which I found. There was only blood spattered in some places.

Finding this fact makes me even more pessimistic if the area around the Minimarket is a human being.

Because I felt that there was no way that someone would clean up the corpse without leaving even the slightest trace.

The blood around the area seemed to show the corpses of monsters and humans disappeared where they died.

There is no idea about the monster that caused all this, I can only ask Roxy.

“How do you think, friend?.”

Roxy just barked up.

“Do you think it's a bird?.”

Roxy shook her head as if saying that my guess was wrong.

“Then what..” When I looked up again more closely I saw the net.

A very thin spider web passed through several dwellings, as I followed where the web came from or ended, I saw several cocoons of various sizes.

I could only swallow my own saliva, when I realized that the Minimarket area mustard.

Judging from anywhere against the monsters occupants of this area will be difficult, “Tiba suddenly just faced with unreasonable obstacles.” I was quite frustrated thinking about it. The feeling of saki in my eye socket worsened the situation.

Roxy again barked at me, making me calm down again. I crouched down in front of the dog and stroked his head.

“Roxy, what do you think?.” I asked him if he chose to continue or come back. He just barked towards the Minimarket in return.

Very easy answer to understand.

“Prepare yourself Roxy, we will fight Boss Field!.”
