Chapter 599 Bizzare Rabbit
A few days passed since Angus and the others stayed inside the Windshire Fort. Unlike before, Angus decided to remain silently in the Fort without trying to escape or cause too much trouble. He even occasionally helps the Duchess and the research team in the Fort.
Since King Leon kept his promise to keep Anna and prevent others from creating trouble, Angus decided to fulfill his part to work for King Leon without asking too much. As long as the work is within a certain line, Angus will definitely do it.
On the other hand, the news about King Leon conquering the whole Udrary kingdom finally reached the Nergal Kingdom and the others kingdom. Because of the lack of information, the news is delayed by several days.
Still, there is no huge movement from the Nergal Kingdom despite knowing the absence of King Leon in the marching army. The Nergal keep gathering their forces in their Archdale Hold.
Meanwhile, Jade and his army are camped in the middle of Humnia Grassland. After slowly marching for a few days, they set up camp a hundred kilometers away from Archdale Hold. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝘤𝑜𝑚
This distance is still too far for launching a siege attack. But, it is a safe distance if King Andvari and Jade fight out of nowhere. Most war casualties happen because of a stray attack from the sixth-grade above combatant.
When people reach sixth grade, their power and strength become very powerful that could be surrounded just by exchanging a clash. Hence, exchanging blows from seventh grade is like a disaster for others. A single stray attack could reap hundreds of third-grade combatants.
This is also why fighting against seventh grade is very difficult. Every time the seventh grade makes a move, they will affect many people. Be it for the betterment or for the worse. In fact, it is easier to handle a weapon like a nuke than a seventh-grade combatant.
Currently, King Andvari is reading the report from his spy alone. There is a trace of distraction all over the room. King Andvari already predicted King Leon may use this chance to launch an attack on another kingdom that is hostile to them.
Therefore, he didn't think much about it when he heard King Leon invade the Udrary Kingdom. Moreover, their kingdom had no strict contract with the Udrary Kingdom. They didn't even have any single World or Soul bound contract.
The reason King Andvari is furious and throws tantrums is because of the news he recently heard. According to his spy, his most talented child betrayed him and currently stays at the Windshire Fort.
For him, Brigida Nergal is the most talented child. He knows he can't keep controlling her since she has a lot of affection for her dead mother. At first, he planned to slowly brainwash her and slowly make her feel belonged to the Nergal Kingdom over the past few years.
It was a long process, but it created a perfect loyal soldier for him. He knows with her talent and the enhancement that is put on her, she will at least reach the pseudo-seventh-grade level.
As for getting to the seventh grade, he never thought about it since he knew the difficulty of reaching that level. Now, all his work over the past years has gone down the drain as Brigida has betrayed him.
According to the spy, he finds Brigida is even killing almost all of his spies in the Windshire Fort and the surrounding area.
If one of the few surviving spies didn't escape in a hurry, they might also perish under Brigida's halberd. Hearing this news, he wants to go to Windshire Fort and kill this traitor himself.
However, he could only swallow this thought after seeing the intense fire elemental that kept radiating from hundreds of kilometers away. The fire elemental is coming from Jade, which stood still in front of the camp, looking directly at King Andvari.
Feeling the fire elemental from Jade, 'It feels he is taunting me to attack him.' thought King Andvari in anger.
With his devious brain, he knows Jade and the Heart is provoking him to launch an attack on them. Despite knowing Jade's army is part of a diversion tactic, he also knows the marching army is the real deal.
Almost all the Dukes and Duchess of the Heart Kingdom are in the camp. If King Leon launches a reckless attack, he may even lose his life under the siege of the others.
While King Andvari is frustrated at the current situation and Brigida's matter, Angus plays with the red-striped rabbits he got from the Twilbo Forest. He is intrigued by the clone ability of this rabbit.
He finds the docile rabbits are actually very bizarre. After creating a clone, the rabbit will enter stealth and blend with the surroundings. Be it presence, appearance, or even their breath.
On the other hand, their clone will become like a real living being. Fortunately, this ability could only happen for a few minutes before the clone disappeared and the rabbit appeared back. Angus also finds the red-striped rabbits have weird behavior.
At first, he thought it only became very docile because of Mira. However, he actually finds the rabbit too docile. Even if he kills its clone or their kind in front of them, they will stay still without moving too much.
"Ahhh… Fluffy Bubble?!! Angus, is this for me?!" asked Anna while drooling.
"Anna, this one is not for eating." said Angus.
"Ehhh… But, Anna likes Fluffy Bubble. Fluffy Bubble is super duper delicious." replied Anna.
While preventing Anna from 'accidentally' squashing the poor bunny, Angus finds the rabbit's calm behavior is too weird. Even under Anna's hungry gaze and dreadful coercion, the rabbit stays calm like nothing happened.
As someone that has known Anna the longest, he knows how easy it is for Anna to scare other animals or beasts. Even minor bugs like mosquitoes, flies, or ants avoid Anna whenever she is around. Hence, he knows Anna's presence is too much for all animals and beast-like creatures.
'Unless it is time for its daily necessities, it will stay still like this. I didn't expect this red-striped rabbit to actually be this bizarre. Even Master Benjamin knows nothing about this rabbit.' thought Angus while observing the rabbit carefully.
After doing some research and various experiments, Angus gives up on this bizarre rabbit. The rabbit is too strange. Even its clone is also very strange. He tried to dissect the clone one and found it had everything like the original rabbit.
If the dissected rabbit's body didn't disappear after a few minutes, he would think he was examining a real rabbit. Leaving with no choice, he uses Anna's great insight to find a clue.
"Anna, what did you think about this rabbit?" asked Angus.
"Fluffy Bubble? Fluffy Bubble is delicious." replied Anna honestly.
"Err.. I mean did you find anything wrong with the rabbit?" asked Angus.
"Anything wrong?? Hmm… Fluffy Rabbit is not pork. But more delicious than pork meat. Anna loves pork meat. This is bad." muttered Anna while thinking hard.
"Urgh.. This little gluttony. Forget about it. Alright, let's meet Big sis." said Angus before preventing Anna from grabbing the rabbit in the cage.
"Catch you!!" said Anna excitedly.
Suddenly, Anna grabbed a thin air and a pair of white-skinned rabbits appeared on Anna's hand. Anna grabbed the two rabbits by her small hand and lifted them in the air.
"Anna, what's that?!" asked Angus in surprise.
The rabbit in Anna's hand is similar to a red-striped rabbit but much bigger. Its body is almost as big as Anna's child's body. Moreover, its body is not like the usual rabbit's since it is slightly out of proportion for a four-legged rabbit.
"Hmm… fluffy bubble?" asked Anna back.
"Err.. are they new variations of clones? But, they are two big and I don't remember they have this body structure." said Angus in confusion.
"Yay.. Yay… Anna caught Fluffy Rabbit. Angus, burn it. Anna wants to eat Fluffy Rabbit." said Anna while swinging the rabbits around like a doll.
"What the… This is getting too weird. It seems I need to rest for a while, " said Angus, holding his head.
He knows how much force Anna used while swinging the rabbit around. But, the rabbit is still intact and completely fine. As the situation got weirder and more bizarre, Anna suddenly lost her grip and threw the rabbit away.
As soon as the rabbit was released from Anna's grip, the two rabbits disappeared into thin air.
"Ahh… My Fluffy Bubble." said Anna sadly.
"Alright, let's go back now." said Angus resolutely, as he didn't want to think about the rabbit anymore.
The more he researches about the rabbit, the more he finds it strange. In fact, he started to think that all the rabbits he caught were clones or some sort of illusion. If it is not for Anna by his side, he may already kill all the rabbits just to prove this fact.
Arriving at the training ground where Jayna practices, they find Brigida sparring against Jayna.
