Ball of Nothing - Chapter 71
Chapter 71
In a heartbeat, the moontaur sisters pounced on the unsuspecting horned rabbits . Zero covered his mouth his shaky hands, his eyes widened in horror at the brutal attack . The older sister rammed her horns into Jingo's back . The horns grew in length with her charge and pierced through that pink fur and leather armour . The younger sister charged at Dingo who was wearing a chainmail . The horns could break through the chainmail material but the force was enough to cause some serious internal damage . Dingo spewed blood from his mouth and a metallic tang filled the crisp forest atmosphere .
Dingo picked up a huge broadsword and slashed at the blonde-haired moontaur . She swiftly dodged it by jumping into the air backwards . With no time to be amazed by her agility, Dingo slashed once more . This time, the blonde girl twisted and sprinted so she was now behind the pink rabbit .
Dingo may be strong but the golden-haired sister was fast . They were evenly matched and it turned into a battle of attrition . On the other side, the older sister had already killed Jingo with that one fatal move and was now battling Mingo . Although injured, Mingo proved to be a challenge for the snow-haired moontaur .
Zero watched as both fights progressed . His eyes lingered on the dead Jingo's body and he shuddered . Revenge was a scary thing . So were girls .
Although many things transpired during the fight like the younger sister receiving some cuts and Mingo's right arm being rendered immobile, it concluded quickly . It wasn't very surprising to Zero who the victor was . However, it was scary .
Satisfied that their plan worked out, the sisters rested for a bit to regain their energy . The campfire was still burning and Zero wondered what they would do .
To his surprise, they begin searching the dead horned rabbit brothers' bodies .
"Found it!" the younger sister shouted over her shoulder .
The older sister grinned . She looked tired but relieved at the same time . Zero didn't know what the younger moontaur was holding . The object in her hand looked like a stone . On that stone, there was a small mark that was constantly moving .
"What is that?" Zero asked Mii mentally .
The strawcherry assistant didn't reply immediately .
"It looks like a compass . It's the older version of the tracker in your communicator's map . I don't think it is an ordinary compass though, there is magic coming from it . "
Zero didn't leave the tree . He continued to observe the moontaur sisters bury their mother's remains and cut off the rabbits' ears .
"Sister, do you think the chief will accept us back?"
The snow-haired moontaur looked dejected . "I don't know, Layla . I don't know . "
