The Perfect Duo

" You can now take on level two, can't you?" Yunxi asked Xia who was invisible on her shoulder.

(Ye~s ! Certainly, I can't wait to crush them.) Xia said giddily. She was now more than ready for a fight. Maybe that's what's called Beast instinct …?

" So am I . Let's get this over with. " Yunxi said with a smile. They were a perfect duo. Two crazy fighters.

One of the level two rabbits jumped up into the air, and launched at her. Yunxi stood her ground, and raised the dagger at the last minute. When the rabbit was close to her, she plunged it into its heart.

Before the blood could splash on her , she removed her dagger, and jumped back. The rabbit fell to the ground, dead.

" Phew! That was a close one. Its speed is on par as a moving bullet. "

Just then, another rabbit fell to the ground. During the moment when Yunxi was killing their sister, Xia crept up behind them , and slashed one from behind, killing it instantly.

'Xia . . . isn't an ordinary beast. I had to exert more strength to push the dagger into the rabbit's body, but she killed it in one swipe. ' Yunxi thought.

Seeing another of their sisters dead, they became weary. There wasn't just one opponent.

" Xia…..no matter what happens, don't become visible. "

(Got it!)

The rabbits were now aware that there were two opponents.

Two level two rabbits were killed, leaving five . Plus, the three level three, making them eight. The eight rabbits moved together, and circled Yunxi. Their strategy was obvious. Use Yunxi to draw out the hidden opponent.

Together, they jumped at Yunxi. They were all about to hit her , when Yunxi jumped up landing on the branch of a tree. The rabbits collided with one another, since they couldn't stop their skill.

During their confusion due to the fall, Yunxi and Xia had already killed two level two rabbits each. Leaving three level three rabbits and one level one rabbit.

Seeing another of their sisters dead, the rabbits were now cautious. They now experienced what fear is , and wanted to run towards their leader, but Yunxi and Xia wouldn't let that happen.

Yunxi leapt over them , stopping them from escaping. While their attention was on Yunxi , Xia killed two rabbits . One level three and level one rabbit.

Another dagger appeared in Yunxi's hand, and she stabbed the remaining level three rabbits on the head , at the same time.

" Grrr…..!!"

Yunxi knew what was happening.

She turned around to see the Rabbit Queen staring at her with her red blood eyes. She quickly blindfolded her eyes, and held her dagger tightly.

The Rabbit Queen had the 'stun' skill, and Yunxi didn't want to fall prey to it. A boss skill , even though it's low, shouldn't be underestimated.

When she saw the stun skill, she had removed a handkerchief from her ring , and placed it in her pocket.

During the time she killed the last two, and her back was to the rabbit Queen, she had kept the other dagger back, and replaced it with the handkerchief.

( Be careful.) Xia said worriedly. She was away from the battle, as Yunxi instructed her. Although she was invisible to others, they were visible to her. That means, she could see them.

" I will. Her stun 'skill' can affect you. Don't come close. " Yunxi comforted her.

The Queen jumped up in the air, and launched at Yunxi at the speed invisible to the naked eye, with her claws out.

Her claws were about to hit Yunxi, when she parried it with her dagger, and pushed the Queen rabbit away. The Queen rabbit leapt at her , but the result was the same. Yunxi parried it with her dagger and pushed her away. The same thing happened for some time, and the rabbit Queen was getting frustrated.

Yunxi came from an assassin family. Although her family weren't that much since they had all sacrificed themselves during the beginning of the apocalypse, their reputation was still prominent.

As long as their blood was still alive, they could rise up again.

Not being able to see…. Yunxi had been through this training since she was three. Her ears are so sharp that she could hear something a mile away. An assassin must be able to survive even if they lost one of their senses.

When the rabbit Queen attacked again, Yunxi parried her claws. Instead of throwing her off like before, Yunxi brought out her other dagger from the space ring and stabbed the Rabbit Queen in the neck, cutting the jugular vein in the process.

" GRRR!!!!!" The rabbit Queen cried out in pain, but Yunxi wasn't feeling any pain for it. It was either her or the rabbit Queen. And she was very much going with the former.

To avoid the blood from spraying on her, Yunxi pushed the rabbit Queen away, with her dagger holding back its claws. Her other dagger was still stuck in her throat.

As the Rabbit Queen went flying, Yunxi moved forward with speed, and struck her heart with the dagger, and jumped back from the spray of blood.

She removed the handkerchief from eyes, and kept it back in her pocket. She walked up to the rabbit Queen on the floor, who had both of her daggers lodged in her body. One in her heart, and another in her neck.

Xia was already on her shoulder.

(Wow!!! You were amazing back there! You went like , Wiss…!!!And the rabbit Queen was like .GRRRR..!!!) She shouted in excitement. She had thought it was going to be a bloody battle but it was the opposite.

" It was because I knew her skills. If not….." She didn't need to complete her sentence, because Xia already got the underlying meaning.

Yunxi placed her hand on the rabbit Queen and concentrated. Soon, the body changed into particles, and the products were left. Meat, hide, some fur, bones, a vial of blood, its eyes, and a red stone.

Ding!

[Extraction of the Man-Eating Rabbit Queen, successful!!! +25 Agility, +23 Vitality, and +1 Strength. 30 free Attribute points. 'Stun Skill' , Gained! Bite , Gained! ]

Yunxi wasn't interested in the system's announcement. What she was concerned about was the red stone. She used Appraisal on it, and saw its attributes.

Ding!

[ Name : Man-Eating Rabbit Queen's Core.]

[ Description: An alchemical material. ]

Yunxi looked at the basic information about it , and stored the items in her inventory.

She moved away, and did it for the remaining thirty nine rabbits.

Ding!

Ding!!!

Din..

Yunxi ignored the series of notifications, and walked up to the fresh skeletons on the ground. There were three skeletons on the ground. The Rabbits didn't even spare their private parts.

" Well….I wouldn't do this, but I witnessed your deaths. Although you used to say mean words to me , you have never hurt me …. physically. You died an honorable death. Even when your life was at the last line, you didn't go down without a fight. I would avenge you. " Yunxi said without a change of expression.

She placed her hand on the first skeleton, and concentrated.

Ding!

[ The extraction of ### is Successful!!! +2 Endurance. Gained Talent, Poison resistance! ]

She placed her hand on the other skeletons, and concentrated.

Ding!!

[ The Extraction of #### is Successful! +1 Strength. Gained Talent, Super Strength!]

Ding!!!

[ Extraction of ##### is Successful!! +2 Vitality! Gained Talent, Enhanced Vision!]

Yunxi sighed, and was about to stand up when a small green glowing orb came out of each skeleton.

" Huh ..? " She used appraisal on it.

Ding!

[ Name : Resentful Soul]

[ Description: Can't access right now. Requirements haven't been met. ]

Yunxi rolled her eyes after seeing the system's reply. She kept the orbs in her inventory, and stepped back .

A lighter appeared in her hand , and she set the skeletons on fire.

After a while of burning, whereby the skeletons had turned into ashes, Yunxi turned around and continued her journey with Xia on her shoulder.

( Why did you do that ?)

" This is the period of the apocalypse. They could be used by bad people to do wicked things. There are undead. You should be prepared."
