Seeing that Carl was lost in his thoughts of revenge and had completely forgotten his "secret" plan to persuade him of how dangerous the Bloody Carrots were in order to get him to let him go so that he could hide, Salvatore lowered the hand holding Carl's as he once more focused on the quickly approaching Bloody Carrots.
Jumping down from the roof he was standing on, with a few quick steps he arrived in the center of the fighting stage and began to warm up, stretching himself in preparation for the fight he was about to have.
After all, based on Carl's description of the Bloody Carrots, especially their Captain Orso, he felt conflict was inevitable and felt he should take every precaution possible, for regardless of the situation Salvatore would always exert every ounce of his strength without holding anything back when fighting.
That was how he had manage to live to today, and that was how he would fight for the rest of his life, no hesitation, for hesitation is the number one cause of failure, and failure, meant death.
Going through a basic routine of his [Nine Stances of Potential], Salvatore felt his body grow warm as his entire body all the way down to his cells became more vigorous, rousing his battle crazed spirit for the coming fight. As he finished the last set of his stances he heard the sound of chanting and thumping footsteps closing from the north. Returning to a neutral standing stance he calmly smiled.
"Here they come."
"DING!"
[System Notification: Captain Orso and his Bloody Carrots have appeared.]
With not a soul in sight, Completely empty, the town square was filled with only silence until suddenly a tiny pebble upon the ground twitched. Focusing on the pebble, a moment passed before the pebble twitched again, a little stronger this time. Another moment passed before the pebble suddenly shook hard enough to bounce of the ground while from the distance a chant was suddenly heard aloud.
KILL!
KILL!!
KILL!!!
The next moment over fifty gravely chanting Bloody Carrots marched into the town square from the northern road while another 97 appeared upon the roof tops on both sides of the road evenly dispersed on each side.
Standing tall displaying a veterans absolutely confidence while radiating a powerful killing intent, the Bloody Carrots were covered in a faint reddish aura that reeked of blood and death.
As the Bloody Carrots came to a halt, silence fell over the town square before a whistling sound could be heard in the air exactly like the sound of a launched mortar as a blurred object soared thru the sky. As the blurred object came plummeting down from the sky, it crashed into the ground with a loud "BOOM" causing the ground to rupture and sink roughly 30ft in diameter forming a crater almost 60ft deep.
Emerging from the large pile of stone debris within the center of the large crater, was an almost human sized rabbit monster that was even wider than he was tall, covered in massive bulging muscles that gave him the appearance of an angry bear on steroids and was exuding a killing intent at least ten times greater than any other Bloody Carrot in the town square while covered in a blood red aura ten times denser.
Standing calmly in the center of the stone fighting stage, Salvatore appeared indifferent to the arrival of the massive rabbit monster despite it rather ostentatious entrance as his eyes quickly darted around examining each and every single Bloody Carrot who had arrived, his [god sight] laying bare all their secrets, revealing a plethora of information on each and every one of them.
Just as Carl's had said, they all were rather impressive having managed to reach level 12 while having a monster rank of SUPER-ELITE, and while a few exceptional Bloody Carrots who according to the number of blood red carrots on the golden pin on their beret were officers had a monster rank of ULTRA-ELITE. However Salvatore had to admit Orso, who had entered in a rather showy manner had the most impressive status of all.

Not only was he a high ranked monster MINI-BOSS, but he had many high level Skills including a few unique ones in addition to several very interesting Titles.
Because of this, Salvatore felt he was quite deserving of being called a legendary individual of the Rabbit Kingdom and based upon his war torn, battle hardened appearance, he had seen his fair share of close combat and appeared to have survived many life and death situations.
