[Prism Shard] The Mysterious Wabbit Returns! | Page 3

Clearly this time she needs a bigger rock. And so, as the wabbit showed its face again, Elmyra had been ready to throw her lot again. Without any ceremony or speeches or anything like that, she just showed up and unceremoniously dumped a rock on the general vicinity of the wabbit’s location.

This time though, she didn’t need to look for an impromptu rock on the road. No, she had picked up the biggest, baddest rock that she could find. It’s as big as her own head, with the thickness to match. If dropped on a reasonably-sized beast’s head it would surely crack its skull open to reveal the gooey, creamy red filling inside.

…Well, the wabbit’s no ordinary beast so it should be fine.

Huh. So this was the vulgar rabbit she was hearing about. Though it apparently drove people into a frenzy the first time she appeared, Claire didn't know what all the fuss was about.

She understood now, though. It was rather shiny, almost supernaturally fast, and despite its cloyingly sweet expression, it proved to be quite thoroughly unpleasant. Druuk Island was already rowdy enough. No reason to let this rabbit keep running loose and making things even more distasteful. There was quite enough of that with all the outlaws and near-total disregard for the rule of law here.

Claire gestured with her hands, causing a cube of ice to form, hopefully trapping the rabbit within. Well, that was the plan at least. Hopefully she was quick enough to catch the thing...

The pesky creature was swift alright, staying true to its elusive rumor. The small size and sheer speed made up for its eye-catching prismatic body as it agilely avoided Eldhi’s light wave. The creature taunting her as it did. No matter, whether it could talk or not, it didn’t make a difference to the Justicar.

With relentless tenacity, Saber kept tracking the small sailor-mouthed wabbit. It was out of both eyeshot and earshot... for now. Her instincts told her it was still there, lurking, hiding, just waiting for another opportunity to tease the hunters. ”Hyah! There!! Reacting in a split second to the distinctive voice, the knight launched yet another crescent wave, optimized for speed instead of power. This time...

It missed. Well, time to continue the hunt.

This little... fucker! ”Nnnngh...!” Aria groaned in frustration as the little bastard dodged her arrow, seemingly with little to no effor at that. To rub salt on her wound, it taunted her as it hopped off into the bushes. Oh... just you wait, bitch! It wouldn’t talk big once she put an arrow through its gut.

Continuing her hunt, making full use of her enhanced Investigation Mode, the Felis Ranger didn’t relent in her search, driven by a need for vengeance! Her sore pride demanded so! ”Come out, come out, wherever you are...” She mentally hissed, Feline ears swishing here and there in an attempt to zone in on any movements.

That voice... ”There!” This time, Aria launched her arrow as soon as she heard the rabbit made yet another taunt, the arrow already blitzing through the air even before the thing finished.

It dodged, again. Fuuuuuuuuuuu-!!

"Huh?" spouted Megan as a flash of colors blasted past her. Jaw slack, she turned to see the most adorable little glass bunny she had ever laid her eyes on. Instantly, she knew she wanted it, one way or another. With a crooked smile growing on her lips she lifted her staff before her, pointing it at the rabbit as she conjured some ancient spell. "Now be still little rabbit.." she said as a few shards of ice began to surround it, "And this won't hurt one bit I promise!" With sudden ferocity, Megan sent each piece of shrapnel at the beast with a grunt of effort.

 

Much like a scythe, her ahoge flailed from one side to another, her anger reaching levels even herself was unaware of the possibility. Indra stared at the multi colored rabbit-wabbit creature with burning rage that was - not - discernible through her facial expressions, because she couldn’t do those even if her life was on the line. A monotone sigh escaped her lips - if in her first attempt being put to sleep by her own spell was a bad joke, entering a hallucination and eating dirt trying to grab a nonexistent wabbit hurt her pride.

The magecrafter inhaled a great deal of air, her chest puffing up to match her spirit and determination. This would do, this had to work this time around! The manaprism diligently spun atop the palm of her hand, the interplanar phantasmia mana enchanting it with a spell from her phantasmal patron. Indra then launched the manaprism once more in hopes of hitting it this time around. Yet, in the back of her mind, she wondered in what kind of illusion spell she’d be put into this time around.

"Angry. Murder-death-kill."

Ugh. This again. Ashiore grimaced as a blur darted by her feet, disappearing into the brush in the blink of an eye. She was getting pretty annoyed with this whole thing now. No more trying to restrain the rabbit, now she was going in for the kill. Metaphorically. Not, you know, actually kill. But maybe a good wallop or two would make her feel better. And maybe it would do something about the rabbit's attitude problem.

A different incantation summoned a bunch of thorns in the air, and flicking her wrist, she sent them all flying towards the speeding rabbit.

"It's time to feel the fuzz, my fuzzy~ Come now, don't be shy. Come by my sla- er- friend!" With a maniacal fit of giggles, the small magician took stance and waved a stick around, chanting in hopes of confusing the rabbit with an illusion. Her hat, with spots for her cat-ears, shifted slightly when she bowed her head to chant towards the ground.

Her voice was a bit deeper when she chanted- it was as if the world around her grew dark in her heart and in her voice. The words, seemingly from a made up language, bellowed into the air that surrounded her. When done, she giggled playfully and chimed, "Hopefully you enjoy the itch fest, my little friend~"

It was...faster than before?

Once a streak of rainbow light had now began to leave afterimages as it darted through the plains, the incomprehensibly fast rainbow rabbit returning with a vengeance of its own. How amazing. How incredible! But it wasn't with respect that Cain viewed the rabbit. It was with pure, unadultered excitement at how his foe had powered up to meet his own expectations. Oh hell yes, bring it the fuck on! Round three, even score.

"Let's rock and roll, Prismatic Phantom Beast of the Forbidden Island!"

Arcane power flowed out of his body like second nature, a dozen arrows of purple-tinged light launching themselves in a spread out, random sequence towards the rabbit. He was definitely going to make this two to one. He was definitely, absolutely, TOTALLY GOING TO ASSERT DOMINANCE OVER THIS SPEEDSTER MONSTER!

The rainbow rabbit had returned to roost- or, well, whatever rabbits did in this area. She knew it wasn't even a 'rabbit' based on what she read about it in the information, but it looked like a rabbit and it was as fast as a rabbit. If it walks and talks like a human, it's a human, isn't it? So rabbits were probably the same.

Pointing her sword at the furry color wheel, she spit into the ground next to her much like a batter at the plate waiting to take a hit at the baseball. "And now, wabbit, I strike you with all I have!" Hopefully, that much would be enough.

For a third time, news of the wabbit's appearance reverberates throughout Druuk Island, leading adventurers to once again scour the fields and forest for the four-legged peculiarity. Since Aiko was still on the Island, she figured it wouldn't hurt to attempt looking for the rainbow-colored profanity again seeing as she did manage to hit it twice. What was she going to lose anyway? If beginner's luck was truly on her side then perhaps she would manage to land a hit on the wabbit for a third time.

However, when she finally caught sight of the creature, she noticed that it was moving at an exponentially faster rate than before, which made her doubt if she would be able to smack it this time around. Using her tried and true technique, she launched pebbles at the wabbit once again, hoping that RNG was still on her side today.

And she completely misses.

"Hmm... guess my luck had to run out at some point but oh well. I can try again next time." She mused.

The wabbit returns once again and sends waves of adventurers desperately seeking the prism shard-shedding eccentricity. Aden, for his part, while frustrated due to his two failed attempts, decided to give the hunt another go. He wasn't going to give up until the wabbit finally fleds this island so until then, he still had a chance of nailing a hit on the damn thing.

But this time around, along with the news of the wabbit's return came some troubling information. Apparently, it was moving at a much faster rate than before, thus making their task of hitting it increasingly harder. If it was difficult to hit it before then the only chance of hitting it now is if Endra smiles upon you and guides your strike.

Praying a silent prayer to the Goddess of Fortune after spotting the wabbit zigzagging through the woods, Aden readies his bow, nocks an arrow, and uses his aeromancy to propel it forward faster, hoping the added speed would allow the wooden arrow to hit the absurdly fast wabbit.


And another miss... He was starting to think the task to be impossible but he also knew that he wouldn't have any success with that mentality.

Watching the strange rainbow rabbit pass by once again Mizuki blinked, unsure what to think of this strange creature. It was certainly very rude, and everyone else was happy just trying to hit it, so maybe she should stop overthinking it and just keep trying. Maybe she'd actually manage to hit it before it disappeared for good, which it eventually would have to do.

Stepping forward Mizuki once again tried to get the right timing to jump forward and smash her fist into the rainbow rabbit, her tail slowly swishing behind her as she tensed. The last attempt had failed pathetically, so while she didn't have much hope with how fast the thing was going she at least wanted to make a better attempt than last time, where she hadn't even come remotely close. Taking a deep breath she narrowed her eyes, then when the rabbit was in range jumped forward to punch it
