Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 401: A Speedy Rabbit

Chapter 401: A Speedy Rabbit

-----

"Don't dare look down on rabbits? Seriously? Is that what she's gonna tell us? So pathetic… just kill her already, shadow beasts!"

"Destroy her stupid rabbit!"

"Tear her body apart, teach this arrogant beast that we are clearly superior."

The ma.s.sive bear-shaped shadow beast roared angrily as it rushed towards the rabbit, raising its gigantic paws as its claws grew in size, becoming bigger and fiercer, sharper, even, as if they were truly about to slash through this poor little rabbit! What kind of cold-hearted person would do this to a little rabbit?! Do they have no heart at all?!

"GROAR!"

Of course, they didn't care at all, Shadow Beasts were not even true beast spirits, but cheap imitations of the original ones made through mysterious techniques which the Dark Shadow Sect had found some years ago in a mysterious inheritance.

Of course, it was still a mystery for Drake and his companions, but there was something else lurking around this sect that was way more than they could possibly think of…

But what could it be?

They didn't know yet… the battle right now was what was important!

The giant bear's paws reached the rabbit with all its might, unleashing a strong aura of power and shadow, darkness spread around like wild, raging rivers… It was a terrifying power like nothing people had ever seen before… this power was truly something on another level!

This monster was after all a Rank 3 Peak Stage! But Pekora seemed oddly confident in her rabbit… could her rabbit live up to her expectations and do as she thought it would do?

The rabbit looked at the shadow beast fearfully, as its eyes opened wide in fear.

Fear.

Rabbits as an animal were not predators, they were peaceful little creatures of the lagomorph family. They used their fast movements and hopping to move around swiftly, eat gra.s.s and other plants, and escape predators the moment they were to see them.

They were not predators themselves, but they were the best at running away. They were a cowardly race, this is why the "Weakest" race of beast-kin, the rabbit-kin, were looked down even amongst their own race, as other subspecies of beast-kin looked down at the rabbit-kin for being smaller, weaker, and only having the amazing ability of… being cowards and running away fast.

But was Pekora running away? Were her people running away? No! they combined their strength into a Nature Domain and held off with the combined power of their magic and spirits…

Of course, that's until the shadow beasts of Rank 3 showed up, their strength was truly admirable, they began to show that even if they worked harder, it was all for naught. The shadow beast attacked the rabbit-kin and threw them around, many were wounded and almost dead, Pekora had to quickly order her people to defend and heal while she was to deal with three rank 3 shadow beasts! But wouldn't that be too much? But well, she was the only rank 3 of her bunch.

She was the leader of the tribe, and as the leader, she has to put her life on the table and fight, defend, and die for her people if necessary. She had to do this and more for her people, and she had no regrets in doing so.

Therefore, she was going against the rabbit's nature! The rabbit was not fierce, they were not strong either, they were runaway creatures, cowards, and would often feel hopeless when caught…

But even rabbits have a strong sense of survival, even when they're surrounded! They got sharp fangs to eat all sorts of plant matter, and would use them against those that came closer if they were not able to properly escape…

As much as a cowardly family of animals they were, rabbits could also fight if cornered… even if it was very unlikely and rare and would often be captured and eaten.

The little rabbit spirit which shined with bright yellow-gold light felt alarmed as the giant bear-shaped shadow beast reared it, its gigantic paws unleashed streams of darkness and shadows that encompa.s.sed the entire environment and generated an aura of deathly darkness. The rabbit felt alarmed and fearful, its feet quickly moved at lightning speed. But the bear was faster, its power and its speed were incredible, the paw reached the ground and clashed over the floor in an instant, causing a loud commotion, the entire group of rabbit-kin fighting against the other shadow beast looked at the scene with surprise, while the ice giant enemies laughed maliciously.

"What? That was it?!"

"Hahaha! No way!"

"I guess rabbits are really the weakest and most pathetic race there is- HUH?!"

FLASH!

However, Pekora's rabbit spirit was not dead as they believed.

An adorable golden rabbit spirit suddenly jumped into the air at an incredible speed and precision, it reached high into the air, evading the ma.s.sive claws of the bear at an amazing performance of speed, swiftness, and dexterity!

The rabbit's tiny nose inhaled oxygen as its eyes seemed wide open to the point the white part could be seen, despite how fierce it had jumped into the air and evaded the powerful shadow attack, it was scared!

But this sense of scare, this sense of danger made rabbits special! They were a cowardly race that would turn on their tail and run for their lives at the very sight of a predator! The little rabbit spirit jumped high into the sky as the bear-shaped shadow beast looked at it with surprise and awe.

It couldn't process the speed it had. The bear could swear it had reached up to its body and now the rabbit spirit should be dissipating into spirit energy and dying out.

But it had jumped so swiftly and amazingly… it was incredible!

"W-What? It evaded?"

"No way… so fast…"

"Was that… lightning?!"

Pekora smiled c.o.c.kily, as she looked at the shadow beast.

"You're way too slow, bud." She said.

FLASH! FLAHS! FLASH!

Suddenly, the rabbit began to move at a speed that n.o.body could ever perceive!
