Death… And Me Chapter 757 - Let's Continue

Chapter 757 - Let's Continue

Wanting to appease the kids asking him, Malo soon spread his Spiritual Sense to look for the rabbit, thinking that it shouldn't take more than a few seconds to capture it. However, this is a Stage Six Demon Beast we're talking about! No way in hell would Malo's Spiritual Sense be enough to feel the rabbit's presence.
"Hmm...?" Malo then looked at the kids before asking, "Are you sure there's a rabbit? I can't feel its presence at all."
All the kids nodded in unison. "We're sure. But our Spiritual Sense doesn't work on it either. We can only find the cutie using your eyes." Obviously, anyone in the Energy Gathering Realm would be able to use Spiritual Sense, albeit with a smaller range depending on the level. With that being said, they also tried to use it to find the rabbit.
Malo narrowed his eyes after hearing their response and pondered whether it was a high-level demon beast or not. He shook his head right after, though. "There's no way it's a high-level demon beast. If it was, Rean's Sensory Formation would have already captured its presence. He told me that the formation will warn us of the entrance of any demon beast above Stage Three or any cultivator above Core Formation. Since it didn't do that, then this demon beast couldn't be high-level."
"Though..." Malo noticed something was off. If it wasn't a high-level demon beast, then why can't he feel its presence? "Oh well. Let's just find it first."
Malo then jumped on top of the roofs and began to do a blanket search. With his speed, it didn't take long for him to cover a big area until suddenly, he noticed a white dot jumping between the roofs of other houses.
"Found you!" It was moving in the Totem Building's direction, so Malo immediately ran after it. Once he captured the rabbit and gave it to the kids, he could finally go out and do his own things.
The rabbit wasn't moving fast by any means. In fact, it looked more like it was having a leisurely stroll through the settlement. With that said, Malo only needed a few tens of seconds to catch up. For Malo, that was confirmation that the rabbit wasn't really that strong. Otherwise, how could he be so much faster? "Come with brother Malo, will you? There are a lot of little girls and a few boys who want to pet you."
The rabbit, who just heard those words, completely ignored Malo's existence and continued on his way forward. 'Hmph! Since when did this lord have to give attention to humans? I just want to know what that building has,' the rabbit thought. As a male Blood Rabbit, it was also sensitive to Yang Energy, and there was quite a lot emanating from that building.
Malo, of course, couldn't read minds, so he simply thought that the rabbit was trying to flee. He immediately dashed forward while saying with a smile, "Don't run! We won't harm you!" However, just as his hands were about to touch the rabbit, it suddenly turned blurry before disappearing from Malo's sight. "What?!"
Malo was taken aback at the scene. It literally disappeared into thin air. However, Malo quickly noticed that it was just two or three meters away, still leisurely running as if nothing had happened.
"Am I seeing things?" Nevertheless, with Malo's speed, he needed just a second to pounce at the rabbit once again. This time, he took it more seriously, putting at least 30% of his strength in that assault.
*Vup!*
Once again, the rabbit disappeared in front of his eyes, just to reappear five to six meters in front of him. However, the rabbit looked back at him this time. For a moment, Malo was sure that he saw a mocking smile on the rabbit's face. However, he quickly shook his head as he muttered, "I must be imagining things."
Well, the truth was...he wasn't. The Blood Rabbit felt utter disdain from Malo's attempts. If anything, he was feeling like laughing. 'No, I shouldn't laugh. It would be beneath me to laugh because of such trifling matters.'
"Wait right there!" Malo, however, didn't give up and tried to capture the rabbit again. He put 50% of his full strength on the attempt, just to see the rabbit slip away once again. Though, that wasn't all. The mocking smile on the rabbit's face had become wider, as if he was provoking Malo. "You piece of shit, you think I can't capture you?"
Malo didn't hold back this time and used his full speed to capture the rabbit.
This time though, the Blood Rabbit's eyes changed as he thought, 'So fast! Is this really a human at the Core Formation Realm? His speed definitely doesn't lose out to those at the Peak Stage of Core Formation or even someone at the Initial Stage of Core and Soul Fusion.' However, the Blood Rabbit's surprise ended there. 'Hehe! So what if you're that good? Compared to this lord, you're nothing more than an ant.'
Sure enough, just as Malo was about to capture the Blood Rabbit, it disappeared once again. However, one thing was different this time. Malo was able to at least touch the Blood Rabbit's fur. Well, not that it made him happy anyway. "For fuck's sake! How can a rabbit without any cultivation be this fast?!"
The Blood Rabbit then looked at its own fur, narrowing its eyes in the process. 'Weird. I was sure I left his grasp before he could touch me, so how did he still touch my fur?' It was then that the rabbit noticed some static electricity emanating from Malo's hand. 'I see...he used a technique to increase the speed of his hands at the very last moment. Not bad for a human. He did that in a way that he could capture me without causing any harm.'
Of course, seeing the few strands of white fur in his hands made Malo a little more confident. Feeling slightly more hopeful, Malo said to himself, "Hmph! Do you think this is my full speed? Let's see if you can flee this time!"
Suddenly, Lightning and Yang Energy began to gather around Malo. Thanks to Rean and Roan, Malo's Lightning Affinity was supported by a good Lightning-based cultivation technique. The lightning covered Malo before he flashed ahead like a streak of blue light as the Yang Energy increased his power and speed even more.
The Blood Rabbit was truly shocked this time. 'Forget those at the Initial Stages of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. This guy can definitely make some of those at the Middle Stage eat his dust!'
Malo's hands then closed on the rabbit's body as his eyes shone. He could see that the rabbit seemed to be surprised by his sudden increase in his speed, so he would use that chance to capture it. Well, everything didn't go as Malo expected, though.
*Vup!*
The rabbit didn't try to flee in the opposite direction this time. Instead, it flashed against Malo's face. The one to fail to react this time was Malo himself. Not only that, but there was simply no chance of dodging the rabbit's attack. If Malo was wrong and this was a very strong demon beast, he would definitely die right now.
*Pah!*
However, the rabbit suddenly turned around right at the very moment it was going to hit Malo's face, landing on it with its ass! Right after, believe it or not, the rabbit farted on Malo's face before using it as a stepping stone to run away once again.
"This fucker stinks!" Well, the rabbit farted at that opportune moment, so it obviously did. However, that didn't anger Malo more than the moment he looked at the rabbit. Sure enough, the rabbit's mocking smile was way too obvious! There was simply no way that rabbit wasn't doing it on purpose!
"Hehe...hehehe..." Malo's patience finally ran dry. He already had a very bad time at Roan's hands during the past few days due to his poor performance in the battle against demon beasts. It wasn't wrong to say that Malo was a pile of stress at the moment. And now, a small rabbit was mocking him as well. Since when did he stoop so low?
Well, Malo failed to notice a problem. If a demon beast wasn't at least Stage Five, it wouldn't have sentience. Probably only Divine Demon Beasts were exceptions. With that said, there was no way the rabbit would mock him. That was an act of a sentient being, after all.
Suddenly, Malo unsheathed his sword as he pointed at the rabbit, screaming, "If I don't get rabbit stew on my dinner today, my name won't be Malo!"
Too bad for him. The kids had all been looking for the rabbit as well. When they saw Malo trying to capturing it, they were hopeful that he would succeed. With that said, Malo's words definitely affected them.
"Malo, you bully!"
"I'll tell Big Sister Poliana that you are bullying the little rabbit."
"Big Brother Malo, don't hurt Mister Rabbit."
Malo looked around in response to those words as his face changed between black and purple. "Who the hell is bullying him?! Can't you see that I'm the one being bullied?! He's mocking me! That's a demon rabbit!"
Everyone looked at the 'cute and innocent' little rabbit before looking at Malo with weird expressions. They couldn't see any mocking expression at all. Unfortunately for Malo, he was the only one who could see the rabbit's mocking face due to his privileged position. The rabbit didn't look any different in everyone else's eyes. "Big Brother Malo... Rabbits don't know how to mock others..."
Malo almost vomited blood after hearing that! 'How the hell can't you see it? Are you telling me I'm going crazy?!' Well, Malo was definitely not feeling calm, that's for sure.
As for the Blood Rabbit, he was having the time of his life. 'So funny! Let's continue!'
