Apexion flashed in the direction where he came from, leaving afterimages behind him. After a while, BOOM! He landed at the clearing in between the two-headed wolf and rabbits.
EEEEEK!
The impact sent the wolf and rabbits flying dozens of meters away. They got up with minor injuries.
with shock, fear, and confusion plastered on their faces. Apexion used his will to pull them towards him.
The wolf tried to resist but it was futile.
Apexion body flashed and appeared a hundred meters away, with their bodies floating behind him motionless. in front of them was an entrance to a huge burrow.
He slowly entered the burrow, his body radiating the aura of a emperor. Inside was a huge clearing with thousands of rabbits of multiple colors.
Sensing Apexion's aura, the rabbits trembled then turned to gaze at Apexion who had just entered, with their leaders and, nightmare floating behind him motionless.
The moment the rabbits laid eyes on Apexion, they felt the urge to bow down. Apexion walked slowly to the center of the burrow; none of the rabbits dare to block his path, and some of them even uncontrollably bowed as he passed them.
Bap!
Apexion slammed the floating rabbits and wolf to the ground, then scanned the rabbits while releasing his aura in all its glory, but he didn't allow it to harm them, after which he spoke in a calm and majestic tone,
"As of now, I am your king... as of now you are no longer prey…. As of now you are something greater…you are now MY subjects!"
After apexion finished speaking he grabbed the veteran rank rabbit from before and raised it up in the air. The rabbit didn't try to resist or anything, because it knew it couldn't.
He then pierced the rabbit's back with his claw, grabbing its spine and pulling it out inch by inch. Blood splattered all over his fur.
He then looked at the rabbits with an indifferent expression.
"Do any of you disagree with me being king?"
The rabbits were terrified to the max; many wanted to run but their bodies wouldn't listen to them, some wet themselves, many of the baby rabbits had passed out.
"Does anyone disagree?"
Apexion spoke again, this time his voice much colder.
A novice rank blue rabbit came to its senses, planted its head into the ground,and purred, "Hail the king!"
The rest followed behind him.
"All hail the king! All hail the king!"
Apexion's eyes shone brightly. He then grabbed the two-headed veteran rank wolf, sliced off one of its legs, then threw it into the crowd of rabbits.
"Prove it. Prove that you are worthy of being my subjects by killing this creature."
He then gazed at the wolf and spoke, "If you can kill all of them, I will let you go."
'There was a old veteran rank rabbits mixed within the rabbits; there shouldn't be a problem for them to kill this wolf, and if they couldn't, I will kill them hisself. '
he spread out his will to suppress the damage that their battle will cause to the burrow…..
The rabbits looked at the wolf with fear. They hesitated to attack the wolf, even though they outnumbered it one to two thousand. Their minds had long been compromised and program, they were prey and the wolf was predator.
they couldn't gather the courage to fight.
The wolf on the other hand paused for a second, then started to kill rabbits left and right.
Fortunately for the rabbits there were a few who wanted to change, who hated being prey, such as the blue rabbit from earlier and the old veteran rank rabbit.
Those two screamed then lunged at the wolf. The wolf easily dodged, then countered with a paw swipe, smacking both of them away.
BOOM!
They smacked into the burrow wall.
they got up and launched themselves again at the wolf.
"Fight!"
the blue rabbit shouted to the rest of the rabbits as it grabbed the wolf's tail, while the old rabbit attacked front its front.
Many thoughts flashed through Apexion's mind as he observed the blue rabbit; he felt it was worthy of being his minion.
….
The battle raged on; both the blue and old rabbit had suffered serious injuries, while the wolf only had a few scratches.
Suddenly the blue rabbit, who was on his last breath, started emittin a green aura and his body started to heal, then vines started to sprout from its back. One of the vines shot out and land on the old rabbit; he started to heal as well.
After which The blue rabbit launched itself at the wolf and screamed,
"FIGHT!"
'Good, good,' Apexion thought. He decided to save the rabbit if it were to reach the point where it would die; he had already deduced what type of ability it had awakened, and he had use for it.
With the blue rabbit's awakened ability, the battle shifted in the rabbits favor.
The rabbit would use the vines from its back to bind the wolf for a short period of time, and the old rabbit would take that opportunity to attack it. After a while, they managed to inflict a deep wound on the wolf's back.
Witnessing this, the surviving rabbits broke free from their trauma; the wolf was not as invincible as they thought. Since one of them could harm it, so could they.
They hadn't yet realized or accepted that Apexion was a member of their species.
EEEEK!
They screamed then rushed at the wolf.
…
After a while, the rabbits stood over the wolf's corpse. They gazed at it in a daze, wondering if they were dreaming.
Apexion nodded, then spoke,
"Eat it!"
'Eat it?' they asked themselves, then gazed at Apexion to confirm whether they had heard the right thing. It had never once crossed their minds to eat another creature; they had lived all their lives as herbivores, so did their ancestors.
"Do as I say. eat it! Since it can eat you, why can't you eat it?.. Now eat it!" repeated Apexion in a cold tone.
Upon hearing Apexion, something in them clicked, then the blue rabbit spoke, "Yes, yes, since it can eat us, why can't we eat it?" After which he grabbed a part of the wolf and started eating it.
The rest gazed at him for a second then joined him.
Chomp! CHOMP!
A few seconds after, the wolf's body vanished.
Not all of the rabbits had gotten a chance to eat the wolf because its body wasn't large enough, but those who had now had a totally different aura around them. the aura of a predator.
They gazed at Apexion with worship.
Apexion scanned them. Before , there were two thousand rabbits, mostly made up of unintelligent and untalented ; now there were only five hundred.
He was satisfied with this outcome; all of the waste had died, leaving behind their betters.
"You and you, come here," Apexion said while pointing at the blue and old veteran rank rabbit. They walked to him with their heads lowered.
"What are your names?" asked Apexion as he gazed at them.
"I don't have a name, my king," replied the blue rabbit. The plants on his back had seemingly vanished.
"My name is Iron Tooth, my king," replied the old rabbit.
"Why don't you have a name and he does?" asked Apexion in a calm tone.
"My king, only those who are at the veteran rank are allowed to have names," replied the blue rabbit quickly.
Many thoughts flashed through Apexion's mind, then he spoke, "As of today, you are called Thallo, and both of you are my main subjects." He couldn't care less about that so-called rule.
"Thank you, my king!" Thallo shouted excitedly. Green light started to flash from his body, and small plants started to grow from the ground.
Iron thanked Apexion as well.
Apexion gazed at the rest of the rabbits who had been looking at him, waiting for his command. He analyzed them one by one. While he was doing this, many ideas of what to do next appeared in his mind: first, he needed his own base, which was easy for the current him; second, to gain an understanding of the area; third, turn these rabbits into capable minions, ones willing to do anything he say without a second thought even if he ordered them to kill themselves.
With that in mind, the black flaming star in his eyes flashed. Blaze! All the rabbits' corpses on the ground lit up in black flames and then turned to ashes an instant later. He then,used his will to lift the five hundred rabbits off the ground, concealed their presence, then he blurred with them towards the Exit. He made sure to use his will as a shield to prevent the rabbits from dying because of his speed.
....
'Right here.'
After a while, they came to a stop in the middle of a huge grassland. Apexion placed the rabbits on the ground, who looked at him with greater worship in their eyes; they felt it was their honor to serve Apexion.
Then apexion flashed and appeared three hundred meters away.
