Chapter 13 Quest opened.
"My first kill!".
Jin looked at the silver blade, which seemed devoid of any stains because of how clean and precise his slash was. Then he glanced down toward the poodle blood, turning the Rabbit's fur red.
The tang of metallic scent wafted through the atmosphere, prompting Jin to knit his brows, disturbed. He touched the body and stored it inside the bracelet, along with the still-dripping head, sticking to a tree.
For the last time, he sheathed his blade and clasped his hands together in prayer, hoping that he could withstand the guilt of killing living beings. 'I can do it!'.
With new determination added to his mind, Jin tried to resume his adventure, but after walking dozens of steps away, he stiffened. He heard rustling bushes that jolted his nerves and made him alert.
Another horned rabbit hopped out, followed by another one. Jin's cheeks twitched. He gripped the Katana handle as he faced the two beasts that began to growled with predatory eyes.
"Come!".
The two rabbits darted away in a straight path. Still, unlike the earlier rabbit, who was pretty much reckless in its approach, these two rabbits had something different as they manoeuvred across the tree using their advantage of strong hind legs.
*Swoosh!
A chilling breeze that kept humming as it tried to reap his life, Jin had to change his tactic and stop being defensive. After deciding what to do, Jin dodged the assault using his footwork, purposely using his peripheral eyes to observe and predict the rabbit's movements.
"There!".
