" Arya?" I Asked surprised that she is up already and she looked like she still wanted to go back to bed. " You always wake up early which is something that grandma thinks is a good habit so I thought I'd try it as well besides we're going hunting right?" Said Arya and I nodded still looking at her half awake state.
" The grey horned rabbits are in three different types of categories. The first category is very easy to kill , they have one horn and are just like normal rabbits only that they're a little bigger than normal rabbits. The second category are the two horned rabbits and they can shoot Magical beams of light from their horns. The last category are the three horned rabbits who are bigger than the one horned rabbits, they can shoot three beams of light at the same time " explained Arya causing me to feel very excited. " Even though the horned rabbits are the weakest level 1 beasts dont you ever underestimate them or overestimate yourself cause you're still in level 1 like them" warned Arya , her words were definitely not ignored so I'll definitely be careful.
We walked a little bit deeper in the forest where the sound of animals was a little bit more clear. Arya pulled me to hide behind a tree and pointed" look , just two days of not hunting and they're already out. There's five one horned rabbits and one with two horns, I'll take care of the one with two horns while you take down the one horns" I nodded even though I definitely wasn't happy with that arrangement.
The necklace around her neck glowed when She casted a wind blade and sent it to the two horned rabbit, the two horns on the rabbit glowed red and fired a magical beam destroying the wind blade. The one horns began to panic and there was no way I was gonna let them run away, I came out of hiding and fired two bean size water blasts with my left hand while I had an ice slash ready on my right hand in case of surprises. The water blasts were fast killing two rabbits leaving three rabbits trying to escape. I released the ice slash and it was able to cleanly chop off the head of one the rabbit causing me to feel bad for only a few seconds. I finished the other two with my water blasts, all of that took me a minute and a few seconds making me feel disappointed.
Arya took a few minutes to kill the two horned rabbit " can you tell me how are you so fast with your attacks, anyway let's carve out the mana stones in them so that we can continue" her casting time is still slow making me wonder what aspect is she focusing on, maybe instead of being fast her spells are strong but I still think being fast is the way. She showed me how to carve out the mana stones , I got it wrong a few times dirtying myself with blood but I ended up getting it right. She placed the mana stones in a brown sack then we continued with the hunt.
We walked and walked but there were no sign of horned rabbits , judging from the confused look on Arya's face im thinking that this isn't normal. " Normally this is where we stop but I think we should continue cause we can't go back with only six mana stones" suggested Arya and I was happy with her thinking cause those horned rabbits I killed were a disappointment. I expected a struggle but none of that happened.
So we continued, after walking for half an hour we saw a very heated battle happening. About 20 two and three horned rabbits were fighting against a baboon that had fists bigger than its head. I recognised it to be similar to the one that boy who saved me fought. While it was killing the rabbits it saw us in which it smiled showing the not long but very sharp teeth. " We're dead, very dead Claudia there's no way we'll survive this" stammered Arya.
Maybe it's because I've faced a lake monster that was many levels above this Fistboon but I wasn't that frightened. I acknowledge that we're in trouble causing it's a level 3 while we're level 1 kids. The way it was killing the rabbits it looked so eager to get us, can we outrun a level 3 baboon? Definitely not. Oh and another thing is I didn't bring Calestia with me so I'm definitely dead. It was now down to 10 level 3 horned rabbits , we can't let it kill them and it's good it hasn't used it's green fist or whatever that magic Is called.
I fired six water blasts while it was busy with the rabbits, normally my water blasts penetrate anything but not this time. What my attack did was only a few scratches , so this is the difference in power! I shouted at Arya" Arya! If we stand here and do nothing it'll definitely finish killing the rabbits and come for us , we can't outrun it so we have to fight it!" My words snapped her out of it, still with shaking hands she started casting her wind blade spell that I knew would take her a very long time to finish.
I sent six ice slashes towards the busy beast, it punched four of my ice slashes causing only one to hit it on its chest leaving nothing but a scratch. We need to find a weak spot, it's clear that the head is very guarded which is a very obvious weak spot so those huge fists will protect it , we try the legs then. Arya was ready to attack with her three wind blades " attack it's legs quickly!" I told her. She attacked it's legs while I prepared six more water blasts, her attack landed causing it cuts on it's legs.
The fists glowed and it punched out two green fists , I had already made the six water blasts so I fired them with the hope of stoping those two fists. All six water blasts barely destroyed one fists , the second one punched me in the shoulder and exploded causing me to be sent flying and crash painfully against a tree. Arya cried " Claudia!
" my body, everything about it was in pain. With my blurry vision I saw that the baboon had killed all the rabbits and it was now approaching Arya. My thoughts were chaotic but I knew one thing
I- I can't, I really can't let Arya die
