Chapter 432: Moon Rabbit

"Can I really reach that cliff?" Theo muttered as he was concerned with his Magic Power. He truly never had a break to let his Magic Power recover the whole day. He clicked his tongue while noticing another volley of fireballs.

Theo flew to the left and almost fell down when a sudden drop happened.

"…" The black-haired leader noticed Theo's strange movement and said, "I think he has exhausted his Magic Power. He must have fought continuously during the day and must be unlucky to meet us today. However, there is a chance that he's faking it. Keep that in mind."

"Roger." The group nodded their heads while observing Theo.

The one in the sky noticed the strangeness as well and pointed his palm forward. "Wind Shock."

The wind gathered around his palm before exploding, creating a small shock wave forward.

Ava turned around and raised her hand, summoning another lightning ball. As if feeling the incoming shock wave, the lightning ball exploded, creating a spark that caused another shock wave.

The two shock waves clashed and neutralized each other.

Theo kept flying with all his might while maintaining his focus on the cliff.

"He's coming to the cliff."

As soon as Theo reached the bottom of the cliff, he stopped and launched himself to the top. He didn't dare to fly too high because of the wind earlier. But with the cliff blocking the wind, he increased his flying speed with everything he got.

This also showed how desperate Theo was in his current situation.

"Make it!" Theo gritted his teeth, trying to reach the top of the cliff.

He soon saw an incoming fireball that would surely strike him because he had no more power left to protect himself.

Ava didn't let it happen and shot down the fireball with her own lightning ball. However, she miscalculated the shock wave produced from their collision.

"Argh!" Theo shouted and reached the top of the cliff before the shock wave hit him.

The shock wave blew Theo to the cliff, almost hitting the cliff with that kind of speed. If he truly hit the cliff, he would have broken his arm.

Luckily, he only rolled a few times on the ground and came to a stop.

"Alright! I got him!" Moryu smirked and flew up, chasing after Theo with a smug smile. "You were indeed troublesome."

However, he soon saw Ava standing on the edge of the cliff with the paper in her mouth.

"That paper… That's the map." Moryu frowned. "I will kill you and take that map from you, little rabbit."

Moryu felt satisfied as he saw Theo struggling to get up after that blast.

Unfortunately, this was the biggest mistake he could make. It wouldn't happen if Theo didn't open the pocket watch. Now that the paper was with her, Ava finally let out her true power.

Lightning, three times stronger than her usual lightning, sparked to all directions except Theo's, hitting Moryu.

Moryu obviously didn't let her attack him by forming a wind sphere that dispersed the lightning. But that was futile as Ava concentrated the lightning and broke through the wind sphere.

"Are you ser—" Moryu widened his eyes as the lightning hit his right hand, obliterating it together with the stomach behind it. Moryu spat a mouthful of blood and looked at the hole on his stomach before falling down. "Impo—"

"Moryu is down!" One of the enemies announced with a shocked expression.

They were already on the bottom of the cliff and prepared to climb it when they saw Moryu falling to the ground.

On the other hand, Ava raised her head and threw the paper into the sky.

The paper opened up as the constellation that consisted of seven stars shone brightly.

"What's going…" Theo tried to raise his vision while calling her name. "Ava…"

Ava turned around to see Theo but soon raised her vision to the moon in the sky. The moment she saw the moon, her body gradually changed and grew like none other.

From a hand-size creature, Ava's body gradually turned to a five-foot-tall humanoid figure with white fur covering her neck, arms, legs, and stomach. Her pure silver eyes became ominous blood-red eyes that kept emanating bloodlust.

Her front feet had become her hands as three sharp claws emerged on the tip of her hands. She then turned back and leaped to the sky, specifically to the constellation that turned out to have the shape of a rabbit.

The constellation that consisted of seven stars changed its shape, forming a circle with seven bright spots.

"What in the world…" The black-haired guy drew a gasp as he couldn't understand what was going on.

As if the circle that shone brightly like that of a moon attached to Ava's back, it descended together with her.

"Moon Rabbit…" Theo muttered Ava's species once again and realized the paper turned out to be some sort of a seal that contained Ava's power. He muttered inwardly, 'Why is the paper connected to you, Ava? It's supposed to be the trump card that I can use to protect my life at any given time. Don't tell me you have been with me this whole time?

'And the reason you haven't done anything this whole time is that the forest is too dense for you to get something from the moon? That's why you asked me to bring you to this cliff?'

Ava didn't know his thought as she stomped the ground and spread her legs. This might be the first time Theo saw it… Ava let out a roar that reverberated through the forest.

Roar!

The roar was loud as birds flew to the sky and the wolves howled. The entire forest became chaotic as if they were scared of her presence.

All the monsters caused a ruckus as the sounds kept echoing inside the forest.

Yes, Ava just let them know her presence in the forest. That roar… told them that the queen is here.

Ava stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down the forest.

However, her eyes remained on the nine people that almost killed them.
