4 Chapter 4: Vitality (1/2)

Wilhelm slowly approached the two rabbits. Although he was, indeed, greedy for experience, he still moved with utmost caution. After all, The last oversized rabbit he faced off against was most certainly stronger than him. The only reason he came out on top, was simply because he outsmarted it.

This time, however, Wilhelm wasn't carrying a weapon, but instead, only had his fists to work with. Fortunately, he was quite skilled when it came to bare-handed combat, as such, he didn't hesitate to move forward.

The large brush kept his figure hidden and he could just barely discern the location of the two rabbits, they appeared to be feasting upon something. Curious, Wilhem quickened his pace, and as he got closer, a morbid scent suddenly assaulted his nose, causing him to frown in irritation.

It smelt of innards and blood, an odor that Wilhelm was painfully acquainted with. He split apart the huge blades of grass and poked his head out. He inspected what the rabbits were eating and couldn't help but draw in a breath of cold hair.

An unrecognizable human-like body lied there on the ground, their innards were spilled out of their abdomen and the rabbits were eating the remains with relish. Wilhelm couldn't quite determine the bodies gender, but judging by the size, he figured it was a male.

At the gruesome sight, Wilhelm could only clench his fists and grind his teeth. He inwardly cursed that fairy that sent him and others to this ruthless environment. What was the point of sending the weak humans here, when they were merely prey in this god-forsaken world?

Wilhelm hated the thought of being mere playthings, he hated the fact that a large quantity of his kin were dying much like the poor lad in front of him. He wasn't an emotional or sentimental person, however, he still possessed some form of pride.

As such, Wilhelm didn't hesitate to take a step forward and grab the two rabbits' attention. He wasn't suicidal nor stupid, no, he was quite confident of his victory. The two beasts who had just killed a human similar to him were surely going to be arrogant when facing him.

And as expected, after Wilhelm took a step forward, the two rabbits raised their heads and glared at him. Arrogance and disdain were reflected in their eyes as they gazed upon him. Their reaction was understandable, why would they fear him, he was something that looked similar to the food they were currently eating.

With this foolish thought in mind, only one of the rabbits approached Wilhelm. Its confidence was overflowing and had expected Wilhelm to flee the moment it moved, however, contrary to its expectations, Wilhelm calmy walked towards it.

As if insulted, the rabbit grew enraged and rushed towards Wilhelm, bearing its sharp pair of teeth. In response, a smile formed on Wilhelm's face as he slightly shifted his body to the right and dodged the tackling rabbit.

Wilhelm then used his increased agility to strike the lunging rabbit whilst it was still in the middle of the air. He raised his knee and accurately struck it in the groin, such was the weak point for most animals.

Immediately, a scream full of agony echoed out, alarming the other rabbit in the process. However, it was already too late. Wilhelm didn't feel like wasting any time and stomped on the neck of the fallen rabbit.
