Back at the eleventh burrow more and more refugees from other attacked burrows came in eventually making karmas story more trustworthy.
The elders all tried to call for back up from the center burrow but only got a few words of disappointment.
Violet song walked up to the dark brown furred leader of the eleventh burrow "thanks to shin and zincs info after last night's moon cycle we got one or two more before they attack us. Where are our reinforcements or are you to scared to owe the council a favor willow?" She questioned.
He just let out a tired sigh "look I know your worried but I'm try—"
"Worried! You don't even know the half of it! My son is out there doing something extremely stupid because he thinks it will help us whilst my other children are seeing what happening all around us ~but, nooo~ your right you have it harder a maidenless buck with no kids having to talk to grown ups about needing help." She said very sarcastically
Willow looked taken aback for a few moments. "Ahem can you please focus on making potions for us, we are taking in a lot of injured rabbits heck even elder oaks is in critical condition while Daisy is helping healing it's not much and blitz is helping with the hunting but we are still low on manpower so please work more and complain less." He basically pleaded.
She left with a sassy "hmmph, I already dropped off a new batch of healing potions."
He turned back to before yelling out "Oh and make sure karma and his friends are read for what's to come."
She just waved him off as she kept heading towards the out skirts of the burrow that led into a mushroom forest.
As she came up to her home a nice little wooden house under a tree with a view of everything.
At the entrance was a sleeping hyenas with six sleeping rabbit on her back. Violet just smiled warmly at the scene.
She soon followed some loud noises behind the building and saw zinc surrounding by three metal cords lashing around like living whips while karma kept dodging them like his life depended on it.
Karma kept moving until he finally saw a momentary pause due to exhaustion. He immediately took action dashing forward to grab her.
Seeing him come at her she surrounded herself in a iron ball with teeth like blades spinning around it.
Karma immediately stopped losing all his balance as he slid pass her with his face in the dirt. "TCH ~Fine~ you win" he said exhausted.
She just cheerfully gleaned while making a metallic thumbs up.
Violet soon joined them "nice defensive move zinc, I see you took inspiration from the dome I made when we first met. And you karma try to foucas more on using your Raw flow to enhance your self as a level twenty five beast even with a support rune you can do a lot of damage."
They both just said "yes miss song"
Violet just looked at them for a moment "hmm? Honestly I think both of you working together would a very deadly duo. Try to work in sync or assist the other." They nodded respectfully.
She was about to say something when she saw something in the distance "oh my? …that's all for the day go get dinner ready and have the little ones help. I have a last minute errand to run." Was all she said Before running.
As she ran off a horn made of frost started growing from her head as water formed around her. It slowly molded itself in a board.
She jumped on it and flew off at high speeds seemingly disappearing in the distance.
A wolf hiding in the ground slowly poked her head up. "The sting one has left leaving behind a hyena that's near our tier and a few weak rabbits. Hehehe we eating well today boys!" Four more heads popped up excitedly.
As they started heading to the little house a thick mist soon covered them leaving behind only scared or confused whimpers.
A few moments later a only four shriveled up corpses remained. As the female leaders head was trapped in a bubble "dear me, it looks like your lost, if you answer a few questions you might make it out here alive." Violets voice was soft and soothing but her eyes and intent felt like a raging tsunami.
Back in the elven Forrest After talking with her dad a bit lily realized keeping Adam summoned took a lot more energy than grey did for some reason so she asked her dad about it.
"Well that's normal summoning is usually temporary but grey is a chimera that ate a few things here somehow making him take little to no energy which helped boost your bond as you didn't need to resummon him once a day for a bit like others have to, but Adam is a normal summon so after a bit your mana will drain until he goes back." Flos told her.
Grey came to them now still exhausted after play with Adam at his max speed.
"Hey now that you have another summon can you unsummon me? I have some things to do back home like saving my burrow."
Lily was about to say something when her father stopped her with a raised hand.
"How long will you need?"
Grey thought deeply about it.
"Hm about thirty of your day cycles maybe less depending on how things go but I'll be fast this was part of our contract."
Flos just nodded "yes and it will be a good chance for Lily to bond with Adam and practice with a normal summon."
Grey looked offended "normal wha-"
Flos cut him off immediately "but before you go I asked about your past from Ted and learned things. I know everyone is telling you to focus on your Rune and body but don't forget how you survived without it; I heard you were great with traps and weapons don't forget those vital skills."
Grey thought about only now realizing he has been just jumping from one danger to the next with no actual plan or tool except his chakraum lately.
He only regretted not planning things out when it was to late but shortly after he did nothing to change since he got his sound rune. "Ok thank you and tell miss grass I will continue training while I'm gone."
Flos looked at his daughter "please unsummon him for now."
"But wha-" lily was interrupted.
"It will be fine he will come back before your classes begin."
Soon a portal open behind grey dragging him away as he waved goodbye cutely."
"Hugo make a Mist rabbit to mimic grey
to trick any spy's nearby while he is gone."
"Yes master"
In a distant land not too far from the eleventh burrow was all black rabbit with glowing purple eyes. "Nay foul demon cease your evil whispering. I only slay those deserving vermin's."
The next second a whisper as if coming from every shadow spoke up. "Then slay every carnivorous creature you come upon, after all they are the reason you lost your family you should kill them all or else other rabbits will suffer."
" nay wut I need is a drink foul demon."
The next moment a few stray foxes fell from the tree line giggling like maniacs. "Look here boys a free meal is just sitting there screaming like it wants us to eat it." Said the one leading them his snout was kinda crooked.
"Yeah blaze we get to eat till we are full thanks to the council."
The ground around the black rabbit suddenly broke like something really heavy fell where he was standing.
The whisper continued talking "look you can't even trust your own kin they admit your council has betrayed feeding your people to these beast. Kill them, kill them all they will continue kill your kind unless you kill them first, JOIN US!!"
Joe just let out a few tears as he looked up "I Shall slay all those undeserving of life's gift and make them SUFFER! I accept you demon.
The next moment black blood ripped from his back as four giant leech looking tentacles lashed out dragging them towards him.
"Let's see how you like being eaten alive vermin… wait I know you… hmm Oh your the one who grey injured the leader of the attack on my home." At this realization Joes normal stoic face broke into a evil grin.
"Let's see if this works to purge you vermin."
He said as he raised his paws in the air letting more of his black blood flow out.
As they hit the floor they slowly formed sixteen apple sized balls that rolled to the restrained foxes as all the black balls surrounded the leader.
"Hey what are these! What are you doing? Don't you know who my brother is… he… He will have your head and eat all your kin for this you hear me YOU HEAR ME!"
Joe ignored the panicking leader as he walked up to the talkitive fixed from earlier and sat on his snout staring him dead in the eyes.
"Now you will tell me everything I wish to know or you'll end up like him." Joe snapped his fingers as the balls around the leader now changed some grew small blades all around it letting them saw into the foxes flesh while others just opened up like a pair of jaws biting into the fox.
The lackey's just watched in horror as their leader was being slowly torn apart screaming at the top of his lungs for almost an hour
After this all the foxes immediately told Joe every thing they knew about the plans their leader Hunters deal with the council.
"Hmm there still might be use for you vermin." He put his paws on their heads as their bodies were consumed by black ooze.
After a while the foxes emerged from the ooze cocoons their eyes now a eerie black as they bowed before Joe.
"Now we shall carry out the demons will and slaughter all vermin that hurt us." He said as turned to face the sun as he walk in that direction with his new minions following.
"~Good but we are so much more powerful than some measly demon~"
