From the distance, Hades saw Raptor approach him roaring. Neigh! Fen looked from Above Raptor's head and barked "Woof!"
"Let's go take them out!" Hades shouted and Fen leaped from Raptor's back and started running on his own. His little paw flashed with opal white claws, BAM! He launched at a tremendous speed.
Raptor stared at the little puppy outrunning him and got enraged, stomping harder, he rushed even faster. Neigh!
Hades made a sharp turn, [Repulsion] he blasted with Raptor and Fen toward the horned rabbits. When Cael saw them approach, he threw Eva ahead and turned to face the Rabbits "Run!" He shouted.
Eva who fell on her side immediately stood up and started running. The problem with those rabbits is getting overrun by their great numbers, she would just hold Cael back.
Cael pulled his sword and swung at the rabbits leaping toward his face. Slash! He sliced three in half, swinging his blade again he took another four. Two rabbits bit his legs, immediately he swung his sword cutting them. Their teeth left a clear mark on his armor.
At that moment, a rabbit leaped at his exposed face. "GROWL!" Fen leaped in biting the rabbit's head.
A rabbit rushed in and bite Fen's tail dragging him away. Then a horde jumped him until only looked like a six-foot-tall ball of rabbits. "Fen!" Cael shouted.
CRACK! Hades leaped in punching the rabbit mound [Repulsion] BAM! With a blast, all the rabbits got blasted away. Fen immediately leaped close to Hades, the multiple bite wounds on his white fur quickly regenerating.
The rabbits didn't give up, their strength was in numbers. They usually never attack in those numbers but since Hades got too close to their nest they were furious.
Looking to the side, Raptor was rushing in trampling all those who crossed his way. The rabbits got no way of capturing such a massive, fast-moving beast.
"Hades, let's take them on. Make Fen guard our backs." Cael shouted rushing in and swinging his sword. Slash! One rabbit got sliced in half, Thud! He leaped ahead swinging again, [Slash] [Slash] A dual slash cleared a line of horned rabbits as if they were nothing.
Hades lifted his stick up, took a deep breath, and looked straight ahead. [Attraction] He pulled one rabbit toward him. Swinging his staff as hard as he could [Repulsion] BONK! The stick banged the rabbit straight on the head, sending it flying back to the forest [Exp+ 20]
When he got the experience, he was surprised as it mean the rabbits from earlier survived his blast. They were tough for being rabbits, an adult human could probably kick them and they would be fine.
[Attraction] [Repulsion] BONK!
[Attraction] [Repulsion] BONK!
[Attraction] [Repulsion] BONK!
[Attraction] [Repulsion] BONK!
[Attraction] [Repulsion] BONK!
[Attraction] [Repulsion] BONK!
Hades started swinging, Cael and Fen protecting him as they slowly reduced the monsters' numbers. Raptor on the back rampaging solo, his hooves red with blood.
After about ten minutes of constant slathering.
{Favor: 5980/6400}
"Their numbers have decreased a lot, let's give it the last push!" Cael shouted, sweat dripping from his forehead. He swings his sword at the rabbits cutting two in half.
Thud! Hades rushed ahead as fast as he could [Repulsion] he leaped into the sky. Opening his arms up, veins became visible on them as his ability got pushed to the limit [Attraction] He applied a force on all the present rabbits [Repulsion] to stay flying.
"GRAAAAAAAAAA!" He screamed, pulling all of them to the sky at once as he swung his arms up, "GRAAAAAAA!" [Repulsion] he blasted them up in the sky toward the forest in one go…
BAM! He landed standing. His hands were bleeding from how much he had swung that stick of his. Looking at it, the stick was on the verge of breaking as it turn fully red from the blood.
BAM! The rabbits landed, {You have leveled up!}
{Level: 6/100 => 7/100}
"More strength as usual. I wouldn't be this exhausted if I had more…" He fell unconscious from exhaustion.
His knees started to feel weak, and his vision blurred as his heartbeat felt ever so strong. A weak shiver ran through his body as his inside felt empty, his throat dry and his arms screaming in pain…His eyes slowly refused to stay open. Thud! He fell unconscious.
Cael who was more fit than Hades stood there watching, even though he was feeling like falling asleep. This was more than what an E-rank should face.
"Cael, are you all right?" Eva rushed to heal them.
"Yeah, this idiot almost got us killed. This is why the guild says to just watch and learn through the F and E ranks. He went strolling into their nest and got the whole hoard after us." Cael growled.
"This is why we're here, to teach him that," Eva said slowly healing the both of them. Surprisingly, Hades wasn't as injured as before. She could heal him without Gabriella's expensive help.
"Usually you only face one or two. Those things are like ants, you see a small number. Pick the nest and then their uncle's uncle's uncle rushes to say hi…" Cael started complaining.
…
Hades opened his eyes in the mansion, feeling hungry
He immediately looked at his stats smiling. Only three levels till he reaches level 10. What kind of ability will it be?

'What should I get at level 10, the devil only said to leave [Pride: Feet] the last, I bet I won't be able to use it even if I got it early. My choices are only:
[Wrath: Break]
[Lust: Seduction]
[Gluttony: Devour]
[Envy: Erase]
[Greed: Copy]
[Sloth: Hibernation]
'I can understand what Break means, wrath is being angry, right?' Hades started reading through his skills trying to understand what they do and make a good choice.
'Lust? Seduction? What are those…" he couldn't make heads or tails 'I better ask Cael or Eva…'
'Devour, that I understand, even now I'm hungry…Gluttony isn't a word I understand but I guess it has a similar meaning…'
'Envy, another strange word. Erase, I feel like I should remember it, what was it again…yes to make things don't exist.'
'Greed, grinding? Copy, those two I can't understand as well…'
'Sloth…why can't I understand any word of them…Hivevation…hibetation…Hibernation…got it, this one is hard to say let alone understand.'
Cain scratched his head, sitting up and staring at the closed wooden door, then the window…this place was familiar. Growl! His stomach rumbled, hands felt light.
"Need some food…" Stretching his arms, he looked around. There was no food around.
Hades sighed standing up, he went toward the door and opened it, and walked into the hallway. Following his nose, he walked downstairs toward the kitchen, his only aim is to fill his empty belly first.
