Warren was hellbent on capturing the rabbit for its delicious meat and, most importantly, its valuable spirit pill.
After following the animal for around fifteen minutes, he saw the rabbit suddenly stop.
Elated, he pounced toward the rabbit and pressed his body on it.
Haha! I've captured it! I've finally—huh? Why does the space below my chest feel empty? Like the rabbit suddenly disappeared? What the heck's going on?
Swiftly, he lowered his head and saw no traces of the rabbit underneath him.
What the f*ck? Cold sweat covered Warren's head. I saw the rabbit! I even felt its warmth when I pressed it under my body, so where did it go? Does it know how to turn invisible? How powerful is that rabbit, then?
“You've grown weak, Great Marshal.” A cold voice ahead of him traveled into his ears.
When Warren lifted his head, he saw a man in quaint, white clothing and looking like a gentlemanly scholar from ancient times. The man was holding the white rabbit while looking at Warren mockingly.
Dammit! So that white rabbit was a trick of his. He intentionally lured me here. Who is he? Does he think I'm Zeke?
Instead of clarifying his identity, Warren asked, “Who are you?”
“You can't even recognize me? You really are useless. Even if you've never seen me before, you shouldn't be unfamiliar with my aura.”
Warren had never fought or interacted with Theos before, so he wasn't familiar with the latter's aura.
I don't know if he's supposed to be Zeke's enemy or ally, so I'll hide my true identity for now.
