Chapter 514: Overeating |
The Ghost Clan merely cast a fleeting glance at Rabbit and continued to focus on their ancestor. As long as the ancestor won, the outcome of this battle would be decided.
Rabbit noticed that these morsels were paying no attention to him and felt displeased. How could these mere morsels not give him a second glance?
Even if they ended up being consumed by him, they should at least know who had devoured them, right?
Rabbit's unhappiness could have severe consequences.
In the blink of an eye, its size abruptly increased, like a mountain rising in the midst of the battlefield, instantly crushing a large number of Ghost Clan Soldiers.
The appearance of such a colossal entity naturally drew the attention of everyone. Prince Hewlett widened his eyes, shocked. What had he just seen? A colossal Rabbit?
In such times, there was still a Rabbit on this planet?
When Rabbit had first appeared, only a few people had seen its existence. Prince Hewlett didn't know about Rabbit. This was the first time he had laid eyes on the true form of Rabbit.
It had to be said that Rabbit's true form was quite intimidating. It had black skin and white Ghost Patterns, giving it a menacing appearance.
Even without his head, the Ghost Clan ancestor's combat strength didn't seem to have diminished. However, his appearance was eerie. An headless body was flying toward Ju Ling and the others.
"Ju Ling, you should retreat first," Tanya instructed Ju Ling. Ju Ling had lost her combat ability, and it was dangerous for her to remain here.
Ju Ling clenched her teeth. Since her Cocoon Evolution, she had never felt so frustrated. The enemy was indeed formidable, and the crucial point was that he was a dead man, resurrected by the Ghost Master in some unknown manner.
As Super Soldiers, Ju Ling understood that what Tanya was saying was right. Commander hadn't given orders for them to fight to the death, and they could leave.
However, when she saw the appearance of the Mutant Ghost Rabbit, she suddenly realized that this was definitely the work of Commander.
"No need, our reinforcements have arrived."
Tanya and Yun Ru were taken aback. They knew Ju Ling was referring to Rabbit, but could an eighth-order Rabbit deal with a Ghost Clan ancestor who had reached the Small Galaxy level?
While they were momentarily stunned, the Ghost Clan ancestor's body had already appeared not far from them. He was getting closer, and a massive rabbit paw appeared on the path he had to take.
With a smack, the Ghost Clan ancestor's figure disappeared.
The three women were astonished. Rabbit had turned out to be so powerful. Faced with an opponent at the Small Galaxy level, he had smacked him away with a single slap. What was going on?
They didn't know that Rabbit had a passive skill that lowered the strength of any Ghost Clan member significantly when they were in its presence.
Originally a Small Galaxy-level Ghost Clan ancestor, after Ju Ling had crushed his head, his strength had already decreased significantly. When further suppressed by Rabbit's ability, his strength was actually less than ninth level when facing Rabbit. That was Rabbit's trump card!
As Rabbit had said, all Ghost Clan members were food in its eyes, especially this Ghost Clan ancestor. Rabbit believed that if it ate this one, it could definitely break through again.
Soon, the Ghost Clan ancestor returned, but he looked extremely disheveled. He had wounds all over his body, especially in the front part of his body, which seemed to have sunken in, giving him a terrifying appearance.
"Rabbit is actually this powerful?" Yun Ru was amazed, seeing for the first time how strong Rabbit was, aside from its eating habits.
An opponent they couldn't deal with, even by joining forces, had actually been defeated by Rabbit.
Yun Ru felt quite satisfied with this outcome.
The Ghost Clan ancestor's throat emitted a low sound. Even without a head, he knew he had become the target.
But for Rabbit, this was a dream come true. When the food came to it willingly, where else could it find such a good thing?
Rabbit decisively opened its enormous mouth and bit down on the Ghost Clan ancestor. Surprisingly, the Ghost Clan ancestor remained motionless, as if brewing something.
Eventually, Rabbit swallowed the Ghost Clan ancestor whole.
"Be cautious; it might be a trick!" Tanya was cautious. She didn't think the Ghost Clan ancestor would be easily eaten by Rabbit. He might burst out from Rabbit's stomach later.
However, minutes and seconds passed, and Rabbit showed no adverse reaction. Moreover, it was licking its lips and seemed to be enjoying the taste. There was no sign that anything was amiss.
"Rabbit, where's that Ghost Clan?" Yun Ru flew over to Rabbit's head and shouted loudly.
"Meow, meow."
Translator Alice: "I ate him. And you know what, it tasted really good."
Yun Ru was stunned. Had he really been eaten?
How could such a formidable opponent suddenly become as weak as a chicken when facing Rabbit?
This time, without Rabbit having to speak, Alice said, "Yun Ru, Rabbit seems to have a natural deterrent effect on the Ghost Clan, as if Rabbit is at the top of the food chain and the Ghost Clan is beneath it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ru understood.
The next moment, the enormous Rabbit returned to its original small size and lay on Yun Ru's shoulder, meowing.
"Yun Ru, Rabbit says it's full and wants to take a nap to digest."
"Alright, Rabbit has done a great job this time. Commander will definitely reward it when we return. We owe this victory to it," Yun Ru gently stroked Rabbit's fur, her gaze filled with warmth.
The Ghost Clan side was in a state of confusion. They hadn't expected that Lord Yuge would use his own life to awaken their ancestor, only to end up with this outcome. This couldn't be possible!
Regardless of whether they believed it or not, the fall of this stronghold had already become a fact. Under the powerful attacks of Yun Ru and Tanya, all the eighth-order Ghost Clan Ghost Masters were killed. With no more strong opponents to stop them, the Ghost Clan army below was no match for the Restoration Army.
Prince Hewlett was elated. He had never imagined that he would have such a day.
Leading the Restoration Army to capture a large Ghost Clan stronghold, once this news spread, he could imagine that his reputation would instantly surpass that of the other Princes. He would become the strongest candidate for king.
To become king on Yan Yun Star, there were only two conditions: being the legitimate bloodline of the previous king and gaining the recognition of the majority of the people.
Of course, by "people," it didn't mean everyone but rather all the Transcendents.
Only with the support of the Transcendents could a Prince become king.
The first condition was self-evident, but the crucial second condition had been nearly impossible for the former Hewlett to fulfill.
After all, in the past, Hewlett had been a Prince who spent his days indulging in food, drink, and entertainment. The idea of becoming a king was beyond his reach.
Now, for the first time, he felt that the throne of king was beckoning to him. (To be continued...)
