While girls stood back to back,Paul who was a few meters away from them once again put his back against a tree to shield it from an attack and prepared for battle.
The first three rabbits that attacked the girls died without even reaching them when Paul launched three ice spikes that hit their marks.
Now that he could use magic and wasn't alone,taking out these beasts was way easier,even if there were this many of them.
Another group of rabbits attacked but this time some of them targeted him so he had to focus on defense.
The four rabbits were incoming but two died from ice spikes and the other two lost their heads to his sword.
Those that attacked the girls didn't have much luck either and most of them died.
Mia used one of her fans to block the attack while using the other one to cut or stab the incoming enemies.
Maya on the other hand was way more aggressive and used her twin short swords mostly to attack any enemy in her range.
While fighting the beasts both girls kept close to each other and their backs were always facing each other leaving no weakness for their assailants to exploit.
Try as they may, the rabbits failed to leave a single scratch on any of the three humans while they themselves were cut to ribbons.
The strange thing was that the last rabbit tried to escape but it also joined the rest of its herd when Paul took out his bow and sent an arrow through its back.
-Are both of you alright?
Were the first words he spoke after the battle.
-We are fine, master.
Both girls replied with smiles that suggested that they had a lot of fun instead of a fight for their lives.
-Look for any cuts or scratches that you might have and didn't feel during the battle.
Paul instructed them and he did the same.
He was worried about this because the soap and the pills could eliminate the scent on their bodies but if they got hurt then that was a different story as there was no way to block the scent of blood.
Fortunately there was not a single scratch on them which made him let out a sigh of relief.
-Master ,where did those rabbits come from?
There was nothing on your search magic before.
Maya asked while they were collecting the rabbits into their spatial devices.
-This is probably their territory and even if they were unable to smell our scent,we did cook and that was most likely what had attracted them.
We should also look around here as there is a chance that they were guarding some herb or other ingredient.
After some looking around they didn't find anything and since they didn't want to waste too much time on that,they set off once again.
The further away from the spider they were the safer they felt.
Even if the Dead breeder was lurking somewhere around the town there was little chance for it to attack the place and even if it did the chances were low that it could survive.
The most likely scenario was that someone would spot it and notify the town which would issue a quest for its subjugation.
They managed to travel quite some distance before the sunset.
After the whole day of walking and a fight with the rabbits all three of them were tired but Paul insisted to cultivate after supper as he had used up a lot of mana during the fight and it wasn't back to full capacity yet.
Also he wanted to cultivate some Qi since that was the quickest way for him to walk normally again.
Paul surprised the girls when he took out three screens and three wooden bathtubs so that they had some privacy and could clean themselves up after they had a breakthrough.
The girls were happy to have such luxuries but also a bit disappointed as they wouldn't mind if their master saw them naked or even wanted to do something more than just look at them.
They were raised by goblins and in goblin society the stronger the male was the more attractive he was and their master was the strongest man they had seen so it was natural for them to be attracted to him.
Not to mention that he was handsome especially after losing that bit of fat that he had on his body when he was transported to this world.
There were of course many more reasons that the ladies were attracted to him and they even discussed this between themselves when he wasn't around,coming to the conclusion that when they learned more about being human and became stronger,they would ask him to make them his wives.
Paul had no idea that he was targeted for becoming a husband to the two beauties and if he did know then he would be shocked at the very least.
He gave the sisters a pill each to speed up their cultivation and instructed them on how to use them.
Even the lowest grade pills if used incorrectly could potentially harm their cultivation instead of supporting it.
They all used their own mana to fill the bathtubs with water and Paul then used fire magic to heat up the water.
All three of them took the pills and began their cultivation.
Both girls quickly found out that they were progressing way faster than before and not just because of the pills that they used.
Paul was the same and he started to connect the dots as the same thing happened when he killed the blood rabbits previously and even when he killed the spirit boar.
His only conclusion for this phenomena was that killing the beasts somehow made him cultivate faster for some time.
He didn't understand how it worked exactly but it happened too often to be a coincidence and also it always happened after he fought with a beast.
In his previous life he never once killed a beast so he had no idea about this but once he got into the city he would visit the scroll shop and if it was possible then he would go to the liberty to learn more about this phenomena.
Also when he was cultivating he added the body refining potion to his bath and thanks to that his cultivation skyrocketed but was painful as all hell.
Their cultivation was very rewarding since they all managed to level up more than once.
Maya and Mia went straight to level 20 of the Qi cultivation and that was a great feat even with the pills aiding them.
Paul on the other hand managed to reach level 40 thanks to the level 2 pill and the body refining potion.
He also felt his legs getting stronger and his tendons more elastic after the cultivation.
When he got out of the bath he was able to stand on his own without a problem and even his steps were more steady than before allowing him to walk without his crutches for a while.
It also helped a little that he was walking most of the day,forcing his muscles to become more active.
The moment Mia and Maya saw that he was walking without his crouches they were very excited as this meant that he was getting better.
