37 One Vs Five 2 (1/2)
The 'Sky Piercing Arrow' flew at max speed as it darted towards one of the three remaining Horned Cloud Rabbits. Unfortunately, the arrow just missed its target as the beast chanted the same wind elemental spell as before and dashed out of the arrow's trajectory.
Meanwhile, the Wandering Glow spell also went into action once more as one of the other Horned Cloud Rabbit's charged at the little kitten with bared fangs. With the threat of the burning orange snake swerving into its path, the beast growled in a frustrated manner as it leaped off into another direction, not daring to take the heat of that flaming snake.
'These horned rabbits are so swift, it's a wonder I was able to kill those first two!' The little kitten hissed in frustration. 'Its as if these buggers are learning from the first two and learning how to avoid my attacks... Damn red furred freak, making these horned rabbits so realistic!'
As the seconds turned into minutes, the little kitten's frustration grew in intensity as the three Horned Cloud Rabbit's got better and better at avoiding her 'Sky Piercing Arrow' and after nearly five minutes of this, one of them even sneaked by her 'Wandering Glow' spell and struck her with a head on tackle that sent her tumbling several meters.
After reaching the end of her tumble, the little kitten dug her claws into the solid floor to maintain her standing figure, preventing her weakened legs from collapsing. In the middle of readjusting her state, she then found herself in further danger as a swiftly moving Horned Cloud Rabbit was charging at her from nearby, soon to be in range to strike her with its nasty claws.
Gritting her teeth, the little kitten concentrated her aura in the 'Wandering Glow' spell and ordered it to intercept the attacking Horned Cloud Rabbit.
To the little kitten's shock, the Horned Cloud Rabbit did not retreat when the 'Wandering Glow' spell threatened to strike it and instead swiftly leaped into the air, over the flaming snake and was quickly in range of the little kitten.
'Its not so easy to strike me down, damn rabbit!' The little kitten exclaimed as she shockingly formed four familiar white claws over her right paw, all without the need for a chant!
However, these four claws were obviously unstable and smoky aura seemed to seep out of them wastefully.
The little kitten didn't care about her aura wasting away however, as the dire situation necessitated it and without further delay,the little kitten's right paw swiped diagonally upwards, causing the 'Celestial Claw' spell to go charging forth in all its glory.
Unsuspecting of this desperate and swift attack, the Horned Cloud Rabbit was helpless in the air as it was struck with the deadly blow. Blood sprayed from four newly formed wounds as the 'Celestial Claw' dug quite far into the beast's skin and by the time the Horned Cloud Rabbit tumbled to the floor, its small artificial life had already come to a bloody end.
'Only two more to go!' The little kitten's eyes glittered with confidence and her tail wagged back and forth in excitement.
★★★
'How interesting... While she had to sacrifice a bunch of aura and the end result was a little shabby, she was still able to conjure the 'Celestial Claw' spell without the need to chant... She's been really blessed, it would seem...' The Guardian Spirit thought mysteriously as he looked on at the little kitten who was in the middle of a game of cat and mouse with her remaining two enemies, though its more like cat and rabbits. 'Kekeke, though in the end, its still her own insight that has allowed her to come this far, so it can't all be attributed to that...'
★★★
As the 'Sky Piercing Arrow' chased one of the Horned Cloud Rabbit's, the little kitten was also in a scramble against the other Horned Cloud Rabbit, her 'Wandering Glow' spell always on the move to intercept the beast's swift attacks.
Like before, this attacking Horned Cloud Rabbit was learning with every exchange and the little kitten could tell that soon the beast was going to be able to launch beyond her outer defence, the 'Wandering Glow' spell and be able to attack her with its vicious claws, or even its vampire-like teeth.
'How annoying!' The little kitten spat as she quickly moved into action once more, the 'Celestial Claw' spell was activated once more. Its unstable form flickered to life and was rocketing towards the Horned Cloud Rabbit.
