-----

With the cavemen right in front of her, Peperina charged forward, wielding her hammer and knocking out any foe that came her way. The cultists of the barbarian God, however, had strange, demonic, and divine auras, which she swiftly crushed mercilessly.

Despite how soft she was, Peperina had developed a ruthless side to her, and that she only showed when something of this caliber happened. When she saw all those children being forced to fight in a war and die, becoming nothing but offerings for their insane god, much like Bing Xue, the rabbit girl lost her mind.

"Bing Xue once told me that the strength we have is not for nothing and that aside from helping us survive, there's a greater meaning to it, a responsibility!"

As she thought, she jumped from place to place with her amazing rabbit agility, unleashing powerful blazing kicks at her foes and sending them away. Those who weren't cultists were hit in the head and knocked out instantly.

And the rest?

Well…

"And that responsibility is to protect the weak, the unfortunate, and the innocents from the monsters of the world!"

She leaped into midair, her entire Ki Aura blazing and surging, covering her entire body, and then Spirit and Mana Energies fused with it.

Yes, Spirit!

Bing Xue had allowed Peperina to awaken her Spiritual Magic after she let her touch her Spirit Tree inside her Inner Realm.

This made it so Beast people could unleash three different kinds of energies together: Spirit, Ki, and Mana, giving them a gross advantage over everyone else.

Even if the difference in levels was high, the power of Cultivation and Spiritual Energy made her much stronger than anybody on the battlefield.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

Her giant hammer crushed her foes; the evil cultists exploded into pieces, burning away before they could even harm her. And when they fired magic or projectiles at her, she unleashed shockwaves of flames, burning them all into ashes before they could touch her.

The cavemen were right beside her, recognizing her amazing strength, and seeing how she wielded the power of the Children of Fire, they thought of her as an equal despite being so tiny in comparison to them.

"Rabbit-eared warrior, strong!" Fiery Hair said. "Rabbit is sister! Sister of the flame!"

"Y-Yeah! Gladly?" Peperina didn't completely understand what she meant, but she thought it was something good. "Now, that man, I need to confront him... Can you guys open the way for me?!"

The rabbit girl pointed at the red-skinned, gigantic orc general, leading the Faction of the Orcs. This was by far the strongest faction, and their soldiers weren't letting anybody get close to their powerful General, Infernos, the Blazing Cleaver.

"Open the path!"

Fiery Hair nodded and immediately rushed forward; enormous and muscular orcs confronted the cavemen, clashing against them. The Children of Fire were by far the strongest of the two tribes, easily overpowering the Orcs with their bare fists while resisting deadly blows with their bare skin, as tough as the toughest metals.

"How is this possible?! How strong are you for being mere humans- ACK!"

"SHUT UP! FIGHT AND DIE!"

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Fiery Hair furiously swung her blazing fists, crushing the orc's face and piercing his skull with it, shattering his entire head into pieces. The headless orc dropped dead.

Naturally, those that belonged to the original factions weren't all exactly cultists but were cooperating with them. All three Generals and most of their soldiers were also deserving of death, and Bing Xue spared no time to tell them to not hold back and kill them all if necessary.

"Who's next?!"

Fiery Hair roared, and as the orcs glared at her in disbelief, her powerful Primal Power Aura surged, making them all feel weaker, a chill running down their spines.

"H-How does she have such a potent Aura?!"

"All these humans have them!"

"T-This can't be... Are they mightier than the Orc Race?! But we are a Race of Warriors!"

Infernos clicked his tongue, looking at his subordinates.

"You foolish cowards! What are you afraid of?! You can revive later anyway! Do your best and kill as many as you can; while you can revive, they can't! KILL THEM IN THE NAME OF THE BARBARIAN GOD!"

Infernos roared, raising his giant weapons, as his blazing aura of mana encompassed all the surrounding Orcs, which were roughly two hundred of them.

Their Auras suddenly flared with divine power, as Peperina realized Infernos was most likely yet another Avatar of the Barbarian God, too, if he could do this.

"WOOOOHHH!"

The Orcs went into a crazed, mad frenzy, roaring ferociously as their eyes turned completely red, losing their minds and rationality, and charging like berserkers against the cavemen.

Within seconds, they clashed once more against the mighty Children of the Flames and the Hawk Eyes, who remained mostly in between them for protection. They were tough too, but they preferred to wield spears and arrows as they were not tough enough to take a sword with their bare skin.

CLASH! BOOM! CRASH! RUMBLE!

Countless explosions, weapon techniques, magic spells, and blows reverberated everywhere. Peperina was growing nervous, but she was strong, keeping herself calm as much as she could. However, after facing what a true war was, she still had a lot to process.

"So this is what my mother told me about—the horrors of the Second Floor her tribe ran away from…!" Peperina leaped into the air and then descended, crushing the head of a berserker orc and splattering its brains.

"Their durability is not enhanced, only their power and speed, it seems!" she told the cavemen with her very loud voice, inherited from her dwarf father. "Hit them hard and don't let them get too many blows on you!"

"You heard our rabbit sister! HIT THEM!"

"RAAAAHHH!"

Fiery Hair roared, rallying her troops as they rushed forward. The orcs' relentless charge had given them a slight advantage, yet the cavemen worked together as a family, protecting their weaker foes while taking care of each other's backs.

The Hawk Eyes' spiraling winds and deadly wind-enhanced arrows rushed down on the orcs, killing a few and weakening the rest, while the Children of the Flames crushed their heads with their enormous hands or explosive, blazing punches.

As the battle continued, Peperina made her way through the orcs, who went so crazy they left behind Infernos to fend for himself.

Well, not as if he needed any protection either.

"I finally got you!"

She rushed in front of him but stopped before attacking him.

Infernos looked down.

"Hm? A rabbit? What are you doing here, little one?" He started to laugh. "Have you lost your mama?"

"Don't mess with me!" Peperina roared. "My mother told me everything! About a monstrous red orc that set ablaze our tribe's camps years ago and chased down the weakest and smallest beast tribes, deemed unworthy because we lacked physical strength! Was it you, Infernos?!"

As he was faced by the fiery rabbit girl, the man smiled, his grasp of his two enormous axes tightened strongly, and his Aura of Mana and Divinity surged from his body.

Compared to Peperina, it was as if a full-grown gorilla was confronting a tiny macaque, the sheer size difference was staggering, yet little Peperina was not backing down.

"Hahah… Yes, I do remember now!" He nodded, rubbing his chin. "There was… something like that a couple of years ago, hm? I slightly forgot about that by now… I mean, what's there to remember anyway? Aside from- Oh! Yes, I do remember something really good about that time. The smell of you beasts' flesh as it burned… It was very delicious. It has been a long time since I've had a proper meal! Tiny beast-kins are a delicacy, you see… This is why you don't see them anymore here. We've eaten them all already, hahahaha!"

"W-Wha…?!"

Peperina stepped back in utter horror and disbelief.

To say such a horrendous thing without shame in his face.

This man was beyond salvation; he was beyond anything.

He was just a monster, an utter beast.

"Y-You ate people?!"

"People?!" laughed Infernos. "Would you call them people when the only thing they did was squeal and cry? Even you… You're quite different; you are a hybrid, aren't you? Maybe that's why you're decently strong… I wonder how your meat tastes. Is it tender, girl?"

"Hahhh… Hahhh…"

Peperina didn't expect this at all; she had at least thought he was a barbarian who killed.

But to eat them too?

Just how far could their horrors go?

Just how much were these monsters capable of?

And all… for their god?

Or perhaps, also for their own sick minds…

Peperina, however, instead of entering into panic and running away.

She stayed there, her three Energies swirling together within her Martial Core, while her Physique began overflowing with Spiritual Flames.

"Hm?" Infernos squinted his eyes as he saw the rabbit girl's entire form beginning to change.

Her white skin turned fiery red, her hair turned into flames, all her fur did as well, and her hammer became gigantic.

"RAAAHHH!!!"

With a furious roar of frustration and anger, she rushed towards Inferno, leaping using her rabbit legs and reaching his face within a split second.

The slow and big orc was unable to react in time, his face being smacked down into the ground with the force of a hammer capable of splitting a whole mountain.

CRAAASH!

"UGH?!"

The orc saw several of his teeth fly away, as well as his big tusks, which he was so proud of! His entire head felt dizzy as if it were spinning, and he suffered severe brain damage. His nose began bleeding, and so did his eyes, ears, and mouth.

BAAAM!

His enormous body dropped over the floor, rolling through the grass. The other orcs glared in disbelief at the scene. Their proud general was slammed into the ground by a little rabbit!

And Peperina was growing ever more furious, thinking that her mother's family, her grandmother, her sisters, and her little brother didn't make it.

Were all eaten...

It made her sick to the gut.

And wrathful to no end.

The bloodline of her father was their blazing power, which was based on their anger.

It erupted at full power, changing her appearance and unleashing her Blazer Dwarves inheritance.

The mighty power to become beings of pure flames.

She wasn't a pure-blooded rabbit-kin, no.

But she was going to avenge them all as one!

"NO MERCY…! I WILL KILL YOU AND AVENGE MY FAMILY!!!"

The blazing new form that Peperina achieved unleashed its powers fully as she rushed towards Inferno while leaving countless blazing explosions with her rabbit legs, managing to easily fly in the skies by jumping through the empty air!

"Hahah… HAHAHAH! COME AT ME, SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE!"

Infernos wasn't furious; he laughed, quickly standing up. He believed this was a trial for him; the spirits of vengeance of all those he had slaughtered had come to make him pay for his sins.

Yet this was nothing but a trial for this barbarian warrior; if he could even overcome the spirit of vengeance, then he would truly become unparalleled!

He swung his two axes against Peperina's incoming blow as explosions of flames reverberated everywhere, shaking the entire battlefield, and burning through the grass surrounding them.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"Hahaha! You're strong—too strong, I would say!" laughed Infernos. "To think you people had to mix your blood with another being to finally get to our level, PATHETIC!"

"I won't stop... I won't stop until you're DEAD!" Peperina roared, swinging her hammer against Infernos while spinning in midair, resembling a descending, blazing meteor.

CRAAASH!

"Ugh?! AAAGH…!"

Infernos' muscles tensed and tightened as he felt the tremendous pressure and might of Peperina at full force running down against his arms. His blazing eyes furiously awakened his divine power.

"I can't believe I have to use my powers as an Avatar to fight her! This is beyond ridiculous!"

His Aura erupted from his body, resembling a four-armed demon, swinging their gigantic arms against Peperina, and punching her four times, throwing her away!

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

"Ugh…!"

Peperina rolled over the floor, burning through it all, as she fell into the ground and left a huge crater behind.

RUMBLE!

"Hahh… Hahhh… He's strong," she muttered as Infernos slowly walked towards her. "So this is the power of a God's Avatar… beings I only admired back then, when I was nothing but a little receptionist."

But then she smiled slightly, her fury encompassing her entire body, as her flames suddenly turned blue, even stronger than before.

"But I am not done yet... Not yet!"

Her Spiritual Powers as a beast-kin surged from her body, fusing with her father's blazing form.

The combination of her two lineages special abilities.

Brought into this world a new being.

"Granny… Aunties, Uncle..." she muttered. "I hope you're watching now; I'll avenge you."
