CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

I don’t think that rabbit would be too good in a stew

~

“I don’t think that rabbit’s normal, but it’s not the worst

What do you think it means when the status says it’s cursed?”

Leaf looked tentatively at the rabbit which came out

It was quite far from cute and fluffy, without a doubt

“My father says that means it’s absorbed evil energy

Though information beyond that is a mystery

We should kill it quickly before it can run away

Curses are contagious and can spread far in a day”

As if right on cue, the rabbit saw them and attacked

Leaf dodged it but when he jumped he dropped the things he’d packed

Sky was still more graceful even with class update

but the rabbit’s strength was tricky to evaluate

Leaf and sky regrouped while dodging the rabbit’s attacks

“how does it move so fast despite the speed stat it lacks”

“You should know that stats improve upon your innate skill

If rabbits don’t get a head start at speed, then nothing will”

It lunged at them repeatedly, without taking a break

They’d be bitten by its massive teeth with one mistake

Leaf drew his bow quickly and let loose a straight arrow

The rabbit saw it coming and dodged it easily though

He tried again til he’d used up his arrows to the last

But though his aim was god the rabbit simply moved to fast

“aim at where it’s going to be, loose your arrows then!”

“but it keeps changing direction and I can’t predict when!”

Leaf was growing frustrated but it was too late now

They’d have to land a hit on it with their own hands somehow

The game of cat and mouse continued and then it occurred to Sky

“Wait a minute, why am I running when I can fly”

Even though she’d lost her Priestess class in the last fight

Her title was now ‘Chaos Angel’ so she took flight

Her flight was much less graceful, for she was a ‘Berserker’

It also seemed like in the past she could think much clearer

Even while aware that she was giving into it

A feeling of excitement surfaced just a little bit

“Go stand on the other side of that ravine right there

I will try and grab it while it’s jumping through the air”

Leaf was shocked by such a restless idea from Sky

But he was getting flustered and it might be worth a try

He ran across the deep ravine and stood upon the ledge

And Sky flew out of sight beneath the other rocky edge

As she had predicted, soon the monster jumped across

And as soon as Sky grabbed it, it was the monster’s loss

Leaf cried out in worry when it tried to bite her arm

But it had been crushed before it could to the girl harm

The creature had been crushed and it was quite a gruesome scene

She dropped the bloody monster corpse down into the ravine

Leaf was shocked to see her covered in blood, head to toe

Sky was more surprised by how calm she was feeling though

Achievement: Brutality

You just bear hugged a decently strong monster to death

That beautiful massacre just took away my breath

If that’s what you’re capable at only level two

I can’t wait to see what level three will do to you

Let anyone brave enough with an appraisal skill

Look upon this Chaos Angel, born to fight and kill

Twisted by her rage and bound to a violent fate

Her appetite for violence will be hard to sate!

She read the status screens and sighed but had no time to fret

To save her friend she’d take whatever stat buffs she could get

Leaf was stunned but when she landed calmly by his side

He was sure he’d never again share a hug with sky

Achievement: Brave Bait

You stood before a vicious beast and didn’t flinch a bit

Even though you would have died if Sky didn’t ‘catch’ it

Here’s a defense buff for the next time you act as bait

For a speedster you’ll make a decent tank at this rate

I thought how you handled that last fight was pretty neat

“Well, I think it’s just about time we got moving then

Let’s find Twig and never speak of this moment again”

Leaf walked passed his bloody friend, his own face deathly pale

Sky just chuckled “surely you did not think I would fail?”
