The Ice Giants looked at Pekora in utter horror! The Rabbit-kin was truly a formidable fighter! Even more her powerful Rabbit Spirit, Aki! Aki ended being a Light and Thunder Spirit, a very rare kind of element combination, in fact.
Beast Spirits were like elemental spirits in the regard of elements! They had their own elements too, and were able to gather power from the environment like elem ental spirits, but instead of representing elements, they represented animals and beasts, and therefore their power was wilder and less refined.
Because of this, beast spirits couldn't use conventional magic of their elements, and use the beast spirit magic of their masters to unleash all sorts of powerful physical attacks!
But beast spirits had this weakness, they couldn't conjure magic spells and were used to make up technique-like beast magic spells using their master's help. Due to this Aki couldn't fight from long distances if she wanted, and had to fight physically, despite being a little rabbit spirit that was too fearful to fight 1v1!
However, now, Aki showed off her true power to Pekora and everyone around… Pekora couldn't help but smile happily. The power of Aki was phenomenal, and she always knew about it…
Pekora recalled her past in these moments of war. As she remembered her past. How she came to be and what made her how she was now. She remembered that she used to be part of another tribe of rabbit-kin, she was raised tenderly by her family who lived in caves, until the tribe was attacked by wild beast, and nearly wiped out.
She was left alone as she had managed to escape when she fell over an underground river, bringing her all the way down the mountain her family lived in… it was miraculous she had survived, it was as if the spirits themselves had intervened, protecting the little Pekora from danger, until she was suddenly found coughing in the shore of the river by a sibling tribe of rabbits, who had separated from her tribe several years ago, becoming nomadic instead of cave dwellers.
They pitied the little girl and took care of her, she never had a mother and a father after that, but had many figures that taught her the value of life, hunting, shamanism, and spiritualism… all her tribe protected her from the dangers of nature as they taught her well, and she grew to be an exceptional magician and huntress, contracting two Nature-Attribute Spirits and also Aki, her Rabbit Beast Spirit, which she had contracted before the other two at the age of 5 months, just a month after the tragedy that befell her original tribe.
She had no grudges against nature as they had taken her family due to necessity, the creatures that attacked them did it for the need of food, most likely, as gruesome and grotesque as it sounded, she learned that there was no point in seeking revenge against nature, the family of Grisly Bears that had attacked her tribe also had their own pups and other family members they had to feed and survive.
In this harsh world it was all about the weak devouring the strong. She learned after many years of spiritual enlightenment that going against nature was meaningless, the bears would continue living and simply slaughtering these in nocent beasts that only desired to live was more sinful than having her own family killed by them.
She communed with nature and her spirits contracted with her, she became a strong chief of the tribe after that, as she connected with nature the most and even attained a level of spiritual enlightenment even higher than others… th e outsider turned to be the chief of the tribe, an interesting tale that many would not believe when they first heard it, but that's was how things went, that was how it happened.
Aki had been looking and protecting Pekora since she was a young baby girl, a toddler, despite her cowardly nature, she still protected her and alerted her of danger, while helping her cultivate her mana and grow stro nger through the nourishment of her mana core using spiritual energy, a more refined and powerful version of mana.
Pekora grew stronger and her heart was slowly healed from the early tragedy of her life, as she became someone that was worthy of ruling her new tribe. However, things went awry as her nomadic tribe was swallowed by a snowstorm the same way the ice elves led by Tisha, which also ended in making the two meet each other.
Since then, she was enslaved alongside her people, but they were rescued thanks to Drake, and were given new op portunities as his sect members, being given shelter and more, she had been working hard ever since then to make up for all the good things Drake and his people had done for her and her tribe… and now, the ultimate proof of her strength was happening as she unleashed and showcased her amazing growth, defeating three Peak-Stage Rank 3 Shadow Beasts with only her powers and wits.
And now, the other three ice giants from the dark shadow sect were left speechless, pissing themselves in fear as they glanced at the utterly terrifying scene before their very eyes, a small and cute rabbit-kin woman and her rabbit spirit had devastated their strongest shadow beasts and most of the army in that area of the battlefield was now gone as the soil was covered in rich and bright sparkling yellow-gold light.
They were left completely speechless as they saw everything unfold, and now they were trembling in utter fear over the prospects of being completely stopped into the ground by these two rabbit's foot! They quickly began to move their big legs, making big leaps over the soil, running away with their lives, but would Pekora and Aki merely let them escape in front of them? Of course not!
F L A A A S H!!!
