36 One Vs Five 1 (1/2)
'Was that it?' The little kitten asked incredulously. 'No, there must be more!'
Her eyes narrowed in concentration as she surveyed the hallway ahead. Seeing that nothing had happened for a short while, the little kitten was about to walk ahead when suddenly she heard several whistling noises descending from above.
She didn't sense the appearance of these new intruders due to them arriving several meters away from her, landing from above with a loud bang. Dust clouds covered the little kitten's view of them, but as she examined these new intruders, she quickly counted that there were a grand total of five of them, to her dismay.
'I'm expected to fight five enemies?' The little kitten's eyes widened in shock. 'I-I've only ever thought one on one thanks to Jonathan's intervening...'
The little kitten gritted her teeth before exhaling out loud. 'There's no choice, that freak's got info on my origins... There's no way I'm letting this chance slip me by!'
Soon enough, the dust clouds were whisked away by the peaceful breeze and beastly red eyes were the first thing the little kitten could see of her enemy. She wasn't surprised to find these to be the same beast that she had just struck down moments ago.
Strangely, the five rabbit-like beasts stood still, their forms breathing, but looking lifelessly towards the little kitten. Before the little kitten could study their states further, a familiar and annoyingly high-pitched voice sounded out, grating her ears.
”Kekeke! You did well to kill an enemy of the same level as you in one hit!” The Guardian Spirit began. ”But, how well can you do against five of the same level? Kekeke, if you defeat these five Horned Cloud Rabbit's, there will be only two more steps to go until you complete your trial!”
'There's still two more steps to go after this?!' The little kitten exclaimed in disbelief. 'Dammit, when he shows his red *ss in front of me again, I'm going to bite his tail off!'
”Good luck~” The Guardian Spirit's voice faded out in a tune.
In sync with the Guardian Spirit's farewell, the little kitten noticed that these so called Horned Cloud Rabbits seemed to come to life. Low growls escaped from their throats and they all began to walk cautiously towards her menacingly.
With a long sigh, the little kitten put all irrelevant thoughts to the back of her head and her eyes narrowed in concentration once more. 'Oh well, there's only one thing to do now!'
With gritted teeth, the little kitten's claws extended to their fullest reach and her throat produced a low and menacing hiss as she stared down the closest Horned Cloud Rabbit.
Seemingly triggered by her display of hostility, that closest Horned Cloud Rabbit let out a shrill cry before it madly dashed forward, its white furred limbs a blur of movement. At the same time as it ran forward, it also began to chant a short spell!
Seeing this, the little kitten's pupils contracted as she noticed a white sheen cover the Horned Cloud Rabbit. At the same time, the rabbit's speed saw a drastic increase as it moved so fast it seemed to almost breach the speed of sound.
'Wind!' The little kitten immediately understood that the Horned Cloud Rabbit was using some sort of wind spell to quicken its movement and sharpen itself for some sort of full frontal tackle!
'Let's see how nimble you truly are!' The Guardian Spirit's invisible form smirked in thought as he watched the upcoming confrontation.
'Gotta dodge!' The little kitten exclaimed as her four limbs went into overdrive, aura circulated to her four paws and her body twisted to leap out of the way of the oncoming Horned Cloud Rabbit's tackle.
