Chapter 191: A cute little creature
Chapter 191: A cute little creature
As Rocky continued on the hardest trail, he felt mentally fatigued and fearful of what he might face next.
First it was the hypnosis python and next a Druid, however, both these monsters were way out of his league to face as a tier1 fighter.
If he was still alive, it was only because of his education within the university which prepared him exceptionally well for life as a climber, as today he felt like kissing all of his professors on their forehead's once, as the foundation that they had given him as a climber had saved his life not once but twice today.
As Rocky continued down the hardest trail, unsure of which sentient beast he may face next, he heard a low pitched growling sound come from ahead, as a snarling beast seemed to be approaching him.
*GRRRR*
From afar, Rocky saw two angry red eyes staring at him from behind a bush, as Rocky did not hesitate at all and unleashed two powerful sword slashes towards that bush, as he attempted to lure out the beast.
*Smack*
Almost as soon as Rocky unleashed the sword strike, he saw the red eyes disappearing from behind the bushes suddenly as his attack missed its intended mark, however, he felt a sudden fast moving object hit his face instead, as he felt two distinct paws hit his cheeks.
Momentarily dazed, Rocky looked around trying to figure out what just happened to him, as if he didn't know any better, he would have thought that someone just slapped him on both cheeks at once, as the power and intensity of the attacks felt like mild slaps at best.
"Where are your manners… old man…. Why did you attack the little Chun?" Said a low pitched, almost childish sounding voice as Rocky glanced towards the source of the sound, only to see the cutest looking bunny staring at him.
The bunny, with its snow-white fur, slightly red eyes, and large, flappy baby pink ears, looked like it had leaped out of a cartoon movie. Its two small and adorable front teeth added to its charm, making it irresistibly cute to look at as deceived by its appearance, Rocky felt hesitant to attack something so cute looking.
"Huh?" Rocky said, sounding confused as he blinked twice, trying to ensure that this wasn't a mental illusion, however, apparently the bunny was 100% real.
It's nose sniveled cutely as it slowly came closer to Rocky and began smelling his feet.
Rocky felt ticklish when the cute little bunny began licking his bloody feet with its wet tongue, however, not having the heart to kick it away, Rocky just let it do what it pleased as he tried to figure out what the hell was this bunny? Explore new chapters at m_vl_em_p_yr
"Who are you? And why are you in this place?" Rocky asked the adorable bunny, as Chun momentarily took a break from eating and decided to indulge Rocky.
"I'm Chun…. I was born in this realm because my mother was pregnant when she was brought here.
I'm a Transforming Ice Bunny and my mother will probably kill you once you go a bit further down this trail" Chun said in an adorable kiddy voice, as Rocky's mind raced fast.
'Did he just say he is a transforming Ice Bunny?' Rocky wondered, as he felt goosebumps running down his spine at the thought of facing a Transforming Ice Bunny.
A member of one of the eight primordial beast races alongside the tortoise, the phoenix, the tiger and others, the transforming ice bunny was the beast with the ultimate control over ice type spells with the ability to transform between a cute bunny form, a lethal polar bear form and a final humanoid form.
Extremely powerful and extremely dangerous, this was the type of beast that Rocky knew he had no chance of winning against, as unlike the python that was slow, or the druid that was too attached to nature, the transforming ice bunny was a race of monster with no obvious weakness.
An apex predator in its natural habitat, they were flagged as extremely dangerous opponents, as Professor Fae seemed insistent when teaching about them, that one should forget about facing these cute looking bunnies unless they were tier5 or stronger.
"Mmmm is that snake blood on you? It's a little muddy and mixed with your sweat so salty, but it's still good…. Chun likes it" said the tiny bunny, as looking at it Rocky suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Hey little guy…. I'll let you lick the snake blood that's splattered all over my body, but you have to do one teeny tiny favor for me first" Rocky said, a scamming glint igniting in his eyes as he thought of a ruthless way to survive the situation that he was in.
Back at the academy he had learnt about how to form soul-contracts with beasts where if one of the two died, so did the other.
The downside of having this contract was that the (human) would be forced to share a portion of their soul growth with their contracted ( beast ), making their own progress slower.
However, on the other hand they could store the beast in their own soul space and call upon them for battle when needed.
Had he not met Chun, he would likely have had no chance of surviving an encounter with his mother down the trail as a transforming ice bunny was not a beast that he could fight against and hope to win at his current strength.
However, through sheer luck, he had managed to meet the curious little one, who was attracted to the scent of the blood covering his body.
To survive, Rocky knew that he needed to cleverly trick this cute creature into becoming his soul familiar, as that was the only way he saw to survive an encounter with its mother.
