Chapter 12: Bunny War
Day 6
I decided to start the day off with some good old skill testing. That is, after I had finished recoating the ground and entrance with my poison shots.
<< [Imprint]: Allows the user to leave its mark on anything>>
'Allows me to leave my mark on anything, hmm… Interesting. So if I left my mark on this nest right now.'
I tried, by walking up to the walls then stepping on it. I willed for the simple activation of the skill and it came.
The wall glowed with a white light, then my foot print was left on the wall.
[You have declared this wall as yours]
[It is now Hinotori's Wall]
'Eh? Just the wall alone? What about the entire nest?'
<<Skill is too weak to cause such an effect>>
'Ah… useless. All my skills are so useless because of how low level they are. This is super annoying!'
BOOM!
The ground shook mightily, forcing me to jump up.
'W-What was that?!'
BOOM!
Again, the place rumbled and I almost fell. I was getting scared by what was happening. I didn't like the way things were going. From the looks of things, there might have been a crazy powerful monster fighting out there.
I was left wondering what kind of beast it could have been. Some ogres going at it or maybe trolls. Giants maybe? Wait… dragons? If two dragons were going at it I really wanted to see the fight. It was definitely going to be the ultimate fantasy fight everybody wants to see.
Just as I thinking of what it might have been, the top of my nest was blown away by some crazy force. A stupid amount of sunlight just entered the nest uninvited, making me feel a bit uncomfortable. I ran out of the nest to avoid the falling debris and was stunned by what I saw.
There were two forces facing each other and I was at the center. I suddenly felt like some kind of anchorman broadcasting some kind of match.
'From the left comes the ferocious but cute fanged bunnies. You know them, you love them for their seemingly dormant nature, but don't let them fool you! Those fangs are for sucking out all your blood. And then there's their boss! The great Silver Quartz Rabbit King! And from the right! Let me hear your boos! Yes! That's right! King of the insufferably violent horned rabbits, the Black Rose Jack King. A completely malicious tyrant who could be compared the demon lord from manga! We hope you lose!'
To my left, there were a bunch of rabbits with light coloured fur and fangs sticking out. There were easily over a hundred on my left, each of them being at least level 8 and having stats that I'd have trouble with.
Then there was the big one. A massive rabbit almost as tall as the trees, with silver pink fur. It had quartz like eyes that stared intensely at its opponent and fangs that looked as hard as a walrus' tusks. The rabbit had a short tail that laid about a meter behind it. Its belly was white and there was a jewel growing in its chest.

'W-What is with the stats? And skills? W-Why does it say calculating?'
I fell down, feeling pressured by the sheer amount of numbers I was seeing. This was the first level 119 I had faced. I didn't think anyone could even go beyond level 100. This made me think. What was the final level?

The Black Rose Jack King was also as big as the other rabbit, but it had black fur with a white mane. It had two horns growing from its head like a deer, with spikes containing closed flowers on them. Its eyes were a cruel red and its spine was pointed outward with sharp spikes coming out and a tail 2 metres long with what seemed to be a wrecking ball attached to it.
'Oi! You're not supposed to be so strong! This is just the starting point of the game you moron!'
The black jack stomped the ground with its leg, shaking up the entire ground. It caused me to dance a bit, but then all the other horned rabbits started to follow. Then it made a weird sound like a trumpet.
Dududududududududududu... Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
The horned rabbits stopped, then their stomping begun again, only this time it was more in sync than the other times.
It were almost as if they were making war cries. Both of them stopped. For a moment, there was quiet, but then the rabbits charged at each other without mercy. The horned rabbits stabbed the fanged and fanged bit the horned. It was one of the bloodiest moments I could remember.
I was taken aback by how bloody common bunnies could be. I felt like Hefla had something to do with it, but the rate at which bunnies were dropping was bad. I was also getting this nagging feeling telling me to participate.
'Eh… to hell with it! Let's go!'
<<Alert! Master is under the effects of the skill [Violence Inducement]>>
Agent said something shocking.
'Eh? [Violence Inducement]? What's that?'
<<Violence Inducement: A skill that compels any target to want to get violent and engage in unreasonable acts, while draining away at their stamina and creating mental stress. It also slowly erodes the soul>>
'Ah… that's dangerous. Any solutions?'
<<Answer. Flee>>
'What? But that's my home! I can't just abandon it!'
BOOM!
There was a loud clash that seemed to silence the entire forest. A powerful shock wave was sent through the forest, and I might have been blown away if I didn't stick my beak into the ground. After it died down, I saw the two rabbit kings, horn against fang.
They then separated. Then clashed again. To be honest, in my eyes, they were practically invisible as they moved. Then there was another clash, a shock wave that actually broke some trees in half.
Terrified, I decided to go hide behind one of the trees to avoid the shock waves.
The fanged rabbit grabbed the horned rabbit's horns with its drooping ears that were apparently controllable, then flipped it over. The horned rabbit however grabbed the fanged rabbit's throat with it's wrecking ball tail and both of them were sent flying.
After that, I couldn't see anymore.
All I knew was that I saw the horned rabbit over the fanged rabbit, growling with what seemed to be happiness.
'Eek! Hefla won?!'
The sprouts on Hefla's horns sprouted into beautiful roses. These roses released a weird gas that permeated the area. It smelt nice, but then something annoying happened.
[You have inhaled Nightmare Poison]
'Nightmare poison? What is that?'
<<Nightmare Poison: A unique kind of poison that has a direct effect on the brain and can cause severe mental disorder. Induces various mental effects>>
'Ah… In that case, I can't be here! Ah! It's time to move then! Tori Sprint!'
I activated [Sprint] then made a run for it, just going wherever I could. A fanged bunny came up from behind and tried to bite me, but I activated [Acrobatics] and dodged in time. Another one came, this time a horned rabbit. It charged at me from the front, and not wanting to waste energy on it, I decided to avoid it as well by diving to the left.
Just when I thought I was in the clear, one horned rabbit rammed into me, throwing me away. Although it hurt, it hadn't managed to stab me because I put up some [White Viper Scales] just in time. I rolled away, but without stopping the momentum I continued to run for my life. I wasn't allowed to breathe in the gas so I wouldn't.
