Poe and Lucia, who was left behind hurriedly followed Ivy and entered the time tunnel.
The tunnel was not anything special and was just like a normal entrance to a cave you could find everywhere, but the moment, Poe and Lucia exited it, they saw what looked like a sun and was shocked.
Looking around, Poe realized that he was in a valley of some sort. The valley looked like a normal valley with nothing special to it, there was even a little road leading out of the valley that they found themselves in, but then again. No matter how much this looked like the outside, it was still inside of the time tunnel.
"Ah… Where are we going now? Exploring the valley or following the road?"
Ivy, who already started walking down the road suddenly seemed like she remembered that she was not alone and asked the two before continuing down the road out of the valley.
Both Poe and Lucia was speechless for some time, before they caught up to Ivy and followed her out of the little valley.
After walking besides Ivy and Lucia for some time, Poe noticed an old nemesis of his making its way towards them. Poe quickly tensed up and got ready to fight. In Lucia and Ivy's eyes, it was quite cute to see Poe grab a nearby stick and hold it like a sword. All while looking like he was about to face his greatest enemy.
[Fluffy rabbit shaman, lvl 14]
The fluffy rabbit looked like most fluffy rabbits, if only it did not have what looked like a rabbit skull on its head and a belt around it filled with small bones, most likely also from fellow fluffy rabbits…
*Squeeeeeeak*
The fluffy rabbit shaman let out what should have sounded like a war cry, but instead came out as a cute squeaking sound, as it charged towards Poe.
Poe on the other end did not stand idling around, created mana balls forming a mana barrage, and threw it towards the charging fluffy rabbit shaman.
The fluffy rabbit shaman nimbly in-between the mana balls and dodged them gracefully.
Poe already expected this and sidestepped letting the fluffy rabbit shaman miss him by a hairs length. Quickly spinning at the spot, Poe fired a mana ball at the fluffy rabbit shaman.
The fluffy rabbit shaman did not expect its perfect charge to miss and the mana ball hit it from behind, a little injured, the fluffy rabbit shaman saw Poe as a worthy opponent.
Standing there, with a distance of a few meters between each other, Poe and the fluffy rabbit shaman just stared at each other in silence for a short time.
The first to break the silence was the fluffy rabbit shaman. The skull on top of its head slowly lit up and floated in the air in front of the rabbit shaman. Followed by that, the bones on the belt around the fluffy rabbit shaman floated into the air and circled around the rabbit skull before the bones lined up and formed what looked like a bone rabbit with a few bones missing.
[Ancient fluffy rabbit spirit, lvl 14(sealed)]
Even though the process sounded like it needed some time, it happened in only a few seconds. Poe saw the bones circling around the rabbit skull and prepared a mana barrage, but before Poe shot it towards the fluffy rabbit shaman, a whirlwind of mana sprung up around the fluffy rabbit skull and the ancient fluffy rabbit spirit manifested.
Poe quickly shot his mana barrage towards the fluffy rabbit shaman and the bone rabbit.
The fluffy rabbit shaman looked exhausted after summoning the ancient spirit of the great fluffy rabbit race. Seeing the mana barrage flying towards it, the fluffy rabbit shaman let out a sigh as more than five mana balls hit it at the same time.
[Gained 0 EXP: The fluffy rabbits soul fused with the [Ancient fluffy rabbit spirt], kill it to get EXP for both]
Poe ignored the notification and focused on the bone rabbit running towards him, it was indeed faster than the fluffy rabbit shaman was and Poe could swear he saw the fluffy rabbit shaman smirk before it died, but then again, how could a fluffy rabbit even smirk in the first place?
Ignoring his inner thoughts, Poe cast a few mana balls towards the bone rabbit. All of them missed, with nothing else to do, Poe used mana enchantment on the stick he picked up earlier and charged towards the bone rabbit.
Soon both of them clashed, Poe managed to hit the bone rabbit, and it looked like he could damage the spiritual body after mana enchanting the stick. The bone rabbit also managed to bite Poe's arm before being forced to let go after Poe repeatedly hit and stabbed it with the mana-enchanted stick.
Both of them looked exhausted, but Poe took the opportunity to create a mana barrage and throw it towards the bone rabbit.
The bone rabbit was exhausted after being stabbed and hit by the mana-enchanted stick so many times; it quickly created what looked like a mana barrier as the mana balls started raining down on it.
*SQUEAAAAAAAK*
As it let out one last squeak, the mana barrier surrounding the bone rabbit broke apart.

Seeing the bone rabbit dying or is it dying again? It was after all dead from the start… Poe let out a heavy sigh as he sat on the ground breathing in and out heavily.
"I… won!"
Poe said as he smiled towards the bone rabbit.
"W-what was that?"
"N-no idea…"
Lucia and Ivy, who witnessed the clash between Poe and the fluffy rabbit shaman was speechless for some time, as they just stared blankly at Poe who looked like he had just come out of some sort of life and death fight against his worst enemy.
Both of them wanted to help Poe when he fought against the fluffy rabbit shaman, but seeing the seriousness of Poe and sensing the weirdness of the situation, they did not get to help Poe.
At this time, Lucia and Ivy realized Poe had some sort grudge with the fluffy rabbits…
