Chapter 352 Rabbitmen?
"Darkstar Realm is a cruel place for outsiders or strangers. That is why nobody ever visits such a place unless they need something they cannot get elsewhere or something that is usually forbidden to sell in normal markets," Seraphina explained while looking at the map of the Darkstar Realm with Viktor by her side.
The two were standing inside Seraphina's house, and she was preparing Viktor to be ready to visit that realm. Without knowing about the realm, it would only be even riskier.
"Do you mean that place is a hotspot for black markets? People get to buy shady and rare stuff, eh?" Viktor asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes. That is why all kinds of people could be there, and some of them come from places no ordinary people dares to mess with. Each of them could be a hardcore criminal, and even if we ignore them, the denizens of this realm will still be annoyed at the sight of outsiders. They have had a bad history with outsiders and don't like them. That is why we have to disguise ourselves, probably similar to one of the demon races," Seraphina mused.
"Demon races, huh? What do you have in mind, and how do you plan to do it, including for me?" Viktor asked as he rubbed his chin.
"The Rabbitmen race. It's actually a halfling demon race, part beast, part human. You don't like it?" Seraphina noticed the change in Viktor's expression, to which he let out a soft chuckle and said, "It's cute. I was just thinking that you would probably come up with something like that. Anyways, I am okay with it. It's supposed to be a disguise after all."
Seraphina nodded with a faint smile before saying, "But my illusion would only hold as long as you don't use too much Odic force. So if you use too much of your vampire or werewolf abilities, the illusion will break, and you might get exposed. I can still manage because I am the one casting the illusion. Still, it won't be any good since most of them might be able to recognize what I am once I use my powers. So we both have to be very discreet while we investigate where that dark elf took our fruit."
"Oh…Don't worry. I can hold back," Viktor said with a wink.
"Then let's start. I am going to simply cast an illusion spell that will make you look like a rabbitman even if you really won't become one. But others, including even you, will see yourself as a rabbitman," Seraphina said as she waved her staff, and the next moment silver dust particles that had an ethereal and glowing aspect to them flew towards Viktor and spiraled around him before dispersing away.
Viktor didn't feel anything, but he then saw Seraphina casting a spell on herself and saw two cute white bunny ears pop up on her head while her golden hair became shorter, extending to her waist only and changed into black color. Her radiant, exquisite skin also seemed to lose its glow and looked normal like any other human, and her beautiful ethereal wings also disappeared.
Her aura also didn't seem as potent as before, though the rest of her features remained the same, and she was still a beauty that could even make a eunuch feel their blood rushing down to their lower abdomen.
Viktor knew that she made adjustments to her appearance to not stand out and give off the look of a fairy.
He also saw her remove the fabric across her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, he saw two dreamy black eyes that looked like a pair of pearls. He knew this was probably not how her eyes really looked, but it was still a sight that could make anyone hold their breath.
And the bunny ears on her head just seemed so fluffy and long, Viktor really wanted to play with them.
"Why…Why are you staring at me like that?" Seraphina asked with a subtle self-conscious look.
Viktor softly chuckled as he said, "You still look so beautiful with that added cute charm."
Seraphina evaded his gaze as she said softly, "I am not the only one with rabbit ears. You should try touching yours."
Viktor raised his hands to touch his bunny ears and was surprised at how soft and fluffy they felt. He never expected that an illusion could feel real as well. Now he understood that the Fairy Queen was truly formidable in certain ways.
"Now we also need to wear clothes people over there usually wear," Seraphina said as she waved her staff again, and Viktor's clothes transformed along with hers.
Viktor looked down and saw that he was wearing a simple blue tunic and pants that looked like something akin to what a commoner would wear during the ancient times, and Seraphina was wearing a full skirt that fell naturally from her slender waistline. Her bodice extended till her hips and tightly clung to her supple body and her large plump breasts that seemed like they might pop out any moment while her alluring collarbones were revealed as well.
"We can finally go now. I have already conjured up the permits we require. I really hope that we are able to find it before it ripens," Seraphina said with a pained gaze, making Viktor realize that even if she was trying to suppress it, she was immensely worried about what happened.
After all, if she was not able to get back that fruit, then her daughters would die out, and her realm would be open to danger.
"Don't beat yourself up too much by thinking about it. I will get you that fruit back one way or another. Now, come," Viktor said gently as he gestured to her to come out.
But right when he was about to step out, Talia suddenly pounced on him, latching herself to his body and biting down on his neck.
"The hell are you doing??" Viktor asked with a blinking expression as he saw Talia sinking her sharp teeth into his flesh.
