While grey was training and everyone else was slowly settling down for the last week, not too far away laid a moose with fur burning laid so still it almost looked lifeless but it chest still moved as if it was breathing.
A dark raspy voice rung out echoing in the Forrest "now my little corrupted knight… it's time for death to befall the dead unworthy."
The moose's stomach started to move rapidly as if something was in before it bulged and a figure ripped itself out from the body. "Nay foul creature I still have many preparations to make to lay siege on that dammed council. For I'm only a Tier four best… I need more power." All the blood on the figure was being absorbed into its body revealing a winged black rabbit with bright purple eyes.
The voice let out loud inhuman chuckle "There is no one there that can permanently stop you and your corrupted army! Feel free to kill but remember any space rune users must be captured or corrupted."
Joe look around at his surroundings looking at all the strange animals surrounding him with black eyes and ooze coming out their wounds. The moose's body convulsed before standing behind him it flames now burning bright unlike its deep black eyes now dripping abyssal ooze the seemed to eat the morning sunlight.
"Fine, my triat has truly blessed me with a army fit for a warrior." Joe turned Around facing a massive stone wall surrounding a carrot shaped castle his eyes burned with pure anger.
"These corrupt ones need to be purified and if the light won't punish them for selling their kin than it's time for darkness to punish them. NOW! ATTACK MY MINIONS!!!"
Every creature let out a maddening roar before charging fiercely towards the settlement.
Two light brown rabbits were sitting atop the wall with spears in hand looking out towards the forest. "Hey did you here that?" Asked one
"There are plenty of beast fighting each other every day out there, they probably fighting multiple at once… it happens from time to time newbie you'll get used to it." Replied the droopy old rabbit.
At that very moment a flock of flaming bats slammed into them and the wall around them.
"What heck? Is this a attack… they look sick and dead, quick call the doctor it might be a new disease." The droopy one commanded.
The young one was about run away when that bats opened their eyes and all screamed in unison like they were dying.
The two rabbits covered their ears only for all the bats to self destruct creating multiple powerful explosions at the same time.
Joe glided down with his wing's whilst laughing like a manic "HahahahaHAHAHA LOOKS LIKE YOUR RECKONING HAS ARRIVED!" His eyes now seem be mad with rage and excitement. "Kill! Kill them all none shall survive my wrath!"
All the creatures around him quickly invaded the town and started slaughtering rabbit or destroying buildings wreaking havoc everywhere they went.
Joe turned his head following a faint groaning sound under some rocks. He easily tossed aside the stone rubble finding the young rabbit that was guarding the wall now burnt and injured.
"Pla… please help warn everyone?" The boy mumbled.
Joe's smiled widely "great I have yet to corrupt a living being so it's only right a fellow rabbit with some morals should become like me and slay true evil corruption."
Joe put his paw on the rabbit forcing black blood from his body to invade the boys cause him to painfully convulse.
After a few minutes the rabbits fur also turned black but his eyes turned golden.
"Hmm fascinating?" Joe muttered he looked around and saw the corpses attacked and left behind by his minions also convulsed before turning black with empty white eyes before they too started attacking others.
"Hahaha Marvalous my minions spread on their own too, Master my be a foul demon but hasn't leadeth my astray."
Soon massive explosion were heard all over with rapid succession. "Hmm? It seems like I just lost a few minions that means the council has arrived? Good!"
A blonde rabbit suddenly appeared on a ruined building breathing heavily. He slowly turned and made eye contact with Joe "Hey serpent hurry up and leave we are being attacked! Quickly find shelter."
"Huzzah! We meet at last!" Joe shouted leaving the blonde confused.
The blonde stared for a bit before a look of realization appeared "Are you behind this!"
"Now now now let's calm Down I only did what you would do." Joe said never losing his smile.
"All I did was sacrifice your people to enhance myself isn't that what you did to the outskirts burrows that couldn't pay for protection fees?"
The blonde mashed is teeth in anger before disappearing into a blur of light appearing again behind Joe and piercing his chest with his right paw.
Joe laughed started sound as raspy as his masters despite his body seemingly dying.
The blonde looked confused before the black blood inside Joe turned into spikes quickly infecting the blonde rabbit.
He quickly jumped back whilst firing a beam of light into the evening sky with his left arm. "I swear as th— arrg!"
A corpse near where the blonde was standing exploded at joes command. "Blah blah blah! I don't care for the rankings or words of a dead man heck I won't even you when this is all over. So there no need to waste my time with all this and die."
Joe immediately lessened all the gravity near him making his weightless body speed towards the light rabbit.
The blonde immediately disappeared but couldn't move as fast as before with his right paw now a bloody mess.
Joe appeared with a black hammer above the blonde when he stopped moving due to the pain. "Now Die!!"
A portal opened up at the last moment sending the Joe back to the wall.
"Oh I just like the fou… I mean kind demon has said. Hehehe more for me to slaughter."
Joe seemed to slowly be losing himself.
Five more rabbits joined the battle alongside the blonde. The purple furred rabbit spoke first "we came as soon as we saw your beam Leo but so have the undead it seems almost everyone else has been evacuated to a different burrow through my portal so NO ONE HOLD BACK! Kill this monster!"
Joe laughed as if this was a joke "Even with more number and higher tiers you'll all still die today and face TRUE justice… oh?" Joe looked down only to see his feet where frozen in place and the ice trail lead to a female white rabbit.
Leo screamed "be careful he controls gravity and his blood which seems toxic."
Joe looked at everyone curiously using his black blood to create a shield.
He watched ice drill, fireballs, pure lightning, charged light and a space like beam flew at him destroying his shield and body almost immediately. "Noooo this wasn't how it was supposed ~be~?"
Everyone stared at the now completely destroyed corpse. The blue rabbit with sparks of lightning surrounding him asked "it can't be that easy can it?"
The purple shook his head "puppet masters are usually frail themselves but his confidence was unnerving for some reason?"
"Why thank you very much I try my best." Joe said from behind them before stabbing the white rabbit that froze him earlier.
So looked back at the one who stabbed her in pure shock "h- how?" Before she could continue Joe twisted the sword killing instantly.
The blue rabbit immediately fell into a frenzy "NOooOOOoo how far you kill spring you coward!" The lightning rabbit immediately turned into a speedy blur that tackled Joe and repeatedly bashed his paw on Joe crushing his face into a bloody pulp.
A corrupt moose that finally appeared in the distance was immediately covered in black goo that transformed it into a black rabbit that was the size of a moose and kept the horns.
The council members watched their friend let out his pain on the corpse of his target.
"Should we stop him!" Leo asked
The purple one shook his head "no let him be we all deal with grief differ- ack"
The wise purple rabbit looked down only to see a black spear sticking out his chest.
The red rabbit covered in flames immediately threw a stream of fire behind them at the attacker only for a massive Joe to walk through it like it was nothing.
"Hahaha We ArE ReallY immortal!" The lightning and flame rabbit immediately dashed to attack the now massive Joe who's vein seemed to pulse purple for some strange reason.
The moment they attacked the giant rabbit exploded sending out black ooze shrapnel everywhere.
The flame rabbits died immediately protecting the lightning rabbit from the brunt of the explosion but he too was injured.
Leo looked around nervously "be careful he seems to be able to posses his puppets."
Leo and the lighting rabbit went back to back as the purple one finally got rid of the spear stabbing through him and joined them.
All three injured rabbit looked around nervously ready for anything
Leo's face soon changed to pure despair "no! Not her. Please not her?"
The other two followed his gaze and found spring standing up like a zombie only for the black blood change her looks into Joe.
"Wow so this is what a maiden's body is like I quite like it but I perfer something stronger."
Leo immediately fired light beams at the monster that stole his friends body.
Joe looked at the beams coming at him curiosly and felt his body move on its own creating two ice pillars that blocked the beams.
"Hahaha it seems like her muscle memory is stronger than my current control, it good to know these things and it looks like I can use her powers along with mine. Fascinating I never even thought about that this can change everything.
Leo started screaming "you monster how could you do this over some worthless village that barley provided any resources!"
Joe stared at the trio blankly just shut up already I told you we hate long speeches… no not we, I hate it. Anyways you're already dead haven't you noticed your all infected."
They all stopped and looked at each other carefully, every wound they had was oozing black blood as purple veins spread across their bodies.
Leo was the first to fall and the purple rabbit so followed the lighting rabbit refused to give up and charged his body with energy before firing it into the sky slowly creating storm clouds.
"TCH TCH TCH, no we can't have that." Joe snapped his fingers and the black blood that invaded the poor storm bringer immediately turned into massive spike the ripped out of his body killing him on the spot.
"Hehehe now Oh benevolent master I have corrupted a space user like you asked!"
Joe stared up the sky and nodded like someone was talking to him in the now empty town. "Genius we will destroy this realm itself to free both of you Hehehe, but it looks like we might need more bodies to pull that off… oh that's right."
Joe turned to his new corrupted minion with and evil smile "~hey~ buddy old pal open a portal to those civilians that escaped earlier, hmm better we will attack every burrow and grow my army."
The purple rabbit lifeless eyes turned as he opens a portal near a bunch of rabbits in the middle of lunch.
"Looks like true justice is on the menu, Now feast on these heathans."
Whilst joe started destroying all the burrows under the councils control grey was in a Forrest surrounded by all kinds of damages then golo came up to grey with Tony on his shoulders.
"Hey buddy? It looks like you've been trading hard the week but Tony has set mirror gates for us to fast travel around and achieve all our goals faster."
Grey was sweating profusely while being surrounded by dead insects and decay all around him.
"Ok just give me time to rest up a bit and I'll be ready… hmm I remember you said you only wanted me to scout and track but what am I tracking exactly?" Grey asked curiously.
Golo grimaced slightly "fine just don't laugh at us this is very serious."
Golo waited for the two to nod before he continued talking.
"The bullfrog tribe and their leader Anthony, the are all tier four beast kins. They made cocoas tribe go extinct and enslaved most goblins they come across making most go into hiding near mountains or caves."
"Speaking of are the girls not coming with us I know cocoa has been spending less time with now and more with Ted; but are we enough for this?" Grey questioned.
Tony spoke up clearly pissed "it's fine both of you can use some time from your lady troubles while being productive and we can raid the carrot council after."
Grey and golo agreed as they talked about new power move ideas whilst grey rested a bit more for his next task.
