Chapter 404 - The Might Of The Coward
-----
BOOOMMM!!!
The massive beam of light and thunder released by Aki's kick in the air reached the bear shadow beast, completely obliterating it from the face of the world! Its entire shadow body was consumed by a countless wave of light and thunder particles, which it was amazingly weak against.
The monstrous shadow beast, a chimera made up of a lot of leftover shadow essence from many slain Shadow Beast was consumed completely and defeated in the spot, it was left dumbfounded as it looked around the place for its last moments before disappearing.
The little rabbit had already taken down one of them in thirty seconds since it was summoned!
"W-What?!"
"No…! No! This is impossible!"
"It cannot be!"
The cliché villain-like dark shadow disciples looked at the scene in complete disbelief. One of their strongest chimera shadow beasts died in an instant and there was nothing they could do against it; it was simply way too mighty!
The other two beasts were not hanging out that well either! They were weakened and damaged, their entire bodies were leaking big wounds of shadow, as miasma continued to come out of their wounds… yes, miasma. It was a corrupted energy which made up the cores of the shadow beasts!
"Miasma?!" thought Pekora while looking at the "blood" of the shadow beasts, feeling like something bigger than she had expected was happening.
However, she was also filled with joy, Aki defeated one of them quickly!
"Come on, Aki, let's finish the other two together!" she said, rushing forward as Aki cried in horror.
"No way, no way, no way! I am not a monster like you, Pekora! I cannot just fight it off like you do!" she said.
"Come on don't be a coward, those two are already dying! You're doing great, look at them!" said Pekora.
"GROAR…!"
"CRAAAAA!"
The two giant Rank 3 Chimeric Shadow Beasts were greatly wounded as of now, Pekora and Aki looked at them and they were easy prey! The giant one was like a giant cat, while the other winged one was like a bird! The two shadow beasts rushed forward and attacked Pekora and Aki by the command of their creators, the three hiding ice giants!
The powerful beasts reached up to the two in an instant through their amazing speed and shadowy movements, bathing them with constant attacks!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, Pekora summoned the power of her nature as massive shields made of wood defended her, while her dandelion spirit expanded herself into a mass of fluffy fur, protecting her!
POOF!
CLASH!
The two beasts managed to break through the shields but the power of the dandelion was great! Although right away it weakened and went back to its small size.
"Foo…"
"Sunlight Beam!"
"Hahh!"
A beautiful sunflower emerged atop Pekora's head, releasing a powerful beam of bright yellow-gold light towards the shadow beast shaped as a bird! The beam pierced through its head, easily destroying it and weakening the shadow beast!
"NOW, AKI!"
"Y-You're awful! Stop forcing me to work!" she cried, as Aki moved around and her flashing light suddenly pierced through the bird shadow beast, destroying it once and for all!
BOOOOMMMM!!!
"CRYYYAAAAHH…!"
The giant beast dissipated into nothingness as the only shadow beast left was the cat-shaped one, who roared loudly and opened its various heads, combining its power together and then firing a deadly barrage of countless shadow rays!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Pekora ended receiving an attack which she couldn't defend in time, as a big and black wound emerged in her stomach. She vomited a mouthful of blood… However, the rabbit duo was not going down against it!
She smiled as she simply cleansed the blood out of her mouth and gathered mana around her, coating herself with a bright amount of life! Which she gathered into a powerful ray she fired from the tip of her staff!
FLAAAAASHHH!!!
"G-GRAAH?!"
BOOOM!!!
The powerful beam of life and nature hit the cat-shaped shadow beast, throwing it into the ground and blasting it into pieces!
FLAASH…!
However, it suddenly began to struggle, it wasn't dead yet!
"GROAR!"
The massive cat-shaped shadow beast now had become a mass of shadows of various horrendous shapes, expanding around as it received mana from its masters, and it suddenly jumped over other smaller shadow beasts, devouring them, and assimilating them into its body…
"What the heck?!" asked Pekora.
"GROOOOOOOAAARRRR…!"
The massive shadow beast reached Pekora, but Aki suddenly got in front of her!
"Agh… D-Damn it!!!"
FLASH!
Aki absorbed a large quantity of mana as she overcharged herself with bright light and thunder, releasing sparks of bright light everywhere! The powerful light continued to flow around her body and in an instant, she flashed like a beam of light towards the massive shadow beast, piercing through its body and killing it instantly by filling with it with light and thunder, exploding into the brightest explosion there could be!
BOOOOOOMMMM!!!
Aki jumped away, reaching Pekora once more, as the massive shadows dissipated into nothingness. The ice giants were left dumbfounded by the power of this cowardly rabbit spirit! It was amazing, outstanding, even, incredible! This was the might of the rabbit! The overpowered rabbit spirit, Aki!
"What?!"
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
"It cannot be… our shadow beast… defeated by a rabbit?"
"Not one, but all of them…!" said Pekora, as she looked at the direction of the ice giants, she coated her wound with the branches of trees and infused life energy into her body. She began to slowly recover and gain more energy and essence, filling her up with all this strong life and healing her deadly wound.
"Hahh… Phew, that was… something…" sighed Aki.
"You did it, Aki! I knew you could! Since the moment we made a pact… I knew you would one day become an useful spirit!" said Pekora.
"Geez…! You're always forcing me to fight all the time, you're an awful master, Pekora!" cried Aki.
The two rabbits spoke leisurely…
