Chapter 2024 2024: Treasure Trove For The Bunny Leader

Grey kept flickering from one spot to another as he continuously evaded the enemiesʼ attacks. The group did not want to get entangled with these people as it would only delay them.

Klaus and the others retreated while Grey and Silvan kept most of the attention to themselves. Being the strongest and also the fastest, they had a better chance at escaping from the attacks of these Sovereigns. Even the Peak Sovereign quickly realized just how difficult it was to deal with these foreigners, Grey especially due to his space element. They gave chase for about thirty minutes before giving up. There was no need in trying to force them to stay, and they could tell the foreigners did not have the intention of fighting them.

Greyʼs group breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. The thirty minutes of fleeing had been stressful, and they were already considering fighting back. Thankfully, their pursuers ceased their pursuit after thirty minutes.

They stopped to rest, and as they were resting, Void contacted Grey, telling him he sensed something not too far from where the group was resting.

Grey walked over to Silvan in the cave, he asked, ”How long will we rest here?”

”About an hour, why?” Silvan replied, asking a question of his own.

”Nothing, Iʼll be stepping out for a bit. Iʼll be back before youʼre ready to leave.” Grey did not go into detail.

Silvan did not seem to mind, nor did he ask what Grey was stepping out to do, all he did was to remind him to return early.

Grey vanished from the cave, reappearing in front of a large tree. They fled into the surrounding woodland to escape the humanoid beings pursuing them.

Void appeared on Greyʼs shoulder, after taking in a deep breath his eyes sparkled and he disappeared with a flash, only to reappear a few seconds later with the disgruntled Bunny Leader.

”What? Why are you disturbing my sleep?” The Bunny Leader did not appear pleased that his sleep was disturbed by Void. Seeing Void stare at him goofily without responding to his question, he was about to blow his tops when he suddenly noticed a strange abnormality.

”Huh? Whatʼs this place?” The Bunny Leader asked as he looked around, clearly startled.

Grey, knowing the question was aimed at him replied, ”A Small World.”

”How can there be such a place?” The Bunny Leader was shocked beyond words.

Grey could tell the Bunny Leader might have discovered something extraordinary, so he hurriedly questioned, ”Whatʼs wrong?”

”Have you seen anyone in the Sage Plane in this place?” The Bunny Leader asked, to which Grey shook his head.

”I thought as much, there is no way a Sage Plane Elementalist can appear here. At least, they should be in the Venerable Plane.” The Bunny Leader said in a matter-of-factly manner.

”Why do you say so?” Grey asked curiously. For them, they had to see it with their eyes to notice this, whereas the Bunny Leader only appeared yet he was able to tell that it was impossible for anyone below the Venerable Plane to appear here. This goes to show that this guy was very knowledgeable, albeit being only a Bunny. Thinking about it again, the Bunny Leader has been living for thousands of years. What Grey found odd was how weak the Bunny Leader was when he found him on both occasions before kidnapping him.

Instead of answering Greyʼs question, the Bunny Leader asked another one, ”Are there any Humans here?”

Grey shook his head, ”No. Although the people here have the figure of a human, they also have features of Beasts.”

”I thought as much. Itʼs impossible for a human to stay in this place for too long. The essence is particularly suited for Magical Beasts and its quality is too high for the human body, even for Magical Beasts below the Venerable Plane too. If a human is born here, they would die immediately...” The Bunny Leader explained patiently.

Grey listened without interrupting the Bunny Leader. The words of the Bunny Leader seemed to fit into the theory of those from the Eldenford Family about every creature in here able to cultivate being born in the Sovereign Plane. It was still shocking to believe that such a place existed, however, they were right in it.

The Bunny Leader soon started to shake from excitement.

Grey could not help but ask what got him excited, only to hear that he could sense a large number of Bunnies in this place. One has to know that for some reason, the Bunny Leader has a way to enslave other Bunnies. He even has a special method to keeping them close to him so they could be used at a moments notice. This place only produced beings in the Sovereign Plane, which means every single Bunny the Bunny Leader could sense were in the Sovereign Plane.

At the thought of this, even Grey could not help but lick his lips in excitement. He had been thinking of how to get a large number of Sovereigns from this place, but if the Bunny Leader could recruit a large number of Bunnies in the Sovereign Plane, then he would have a large army of Sovereigns under him.

”How is the strength of the natives?” The Bunny Leader calmed down and asked. This was a very important question. If the strength of the natives is nothing to write home about, then having a large number of Bunnies in the Sovereign Plane would not be as favorable as they thought it would.

Grey considered their previous encounter and replied, ”They cannot compare to Sovereigns from the outside.”

There is a significant distinction between an individual who ascended through all levels from the Collection Plane to the Sovereign Plane and one who was born directly into the Sovereign Plane.

”Looks like I canʼt take in all of them.” The Bunny Leader sighed. This was an expected outcome, so he was not too depressed by the news.
