All Spells Unleashed

A moment later, the silver rabbit charged again with a whoosh. Richard swiftly swung his scalpel, stabbing at its neck.

The blade sliced across its fur, and Richard felt a sticky resistance, as if he had cut into an incredibly viscous mass of glue.

A Wind Spell? Richard's eyes flashed as he somewhat understood the direction of the silver rabbit's demonization.

The creature swiped at him. Not wanting his face clawed again, Richard held the scalpel and blocked with a backhand motion, stopping the silver rabbit's claws. The next moment, sparks actually flew in the moonlight.

Its limbs had been strengthened too? And in hardness and toughness—that was likely a Transmutation Spell.

As Richard thought, his movements did not slow. After blocking the silver rabbit's attack, he slightly shifted the angle of his scalpel and stabbed at its eye.

But the silver rabbit nimbly dodged. It traced an arc through the air, landed lightly, then turned, leaped up, and swung its claws in a third attack.

Richard blocked with his scalpel and slashed toward its belly, forcing it to twist its body awkwardly to evade. Then his scalpel turned and cut toward its hind leg.

Smack, splurt!

The silver rabbit kicked hard, leaving three deep wounds on Richard's hand, but Richard also cut open one of its hind legs, blood continuously flowing out.

After landing, the silver rabbit stared at Richard with red eyes.

Richard ignored it, frowning slightly as he looked at the three wounds on his arm. He considered disinfecting them with alcohol later, or bacteria might infect them and cause them to fester.

With a smack, the silver rabbit leaped up for a fourth attack, its eyes blood-red. Richard turned his head, narrowing his eyes slightly. He had already decided to end the battle quickly and kill the silver rabbit.

On one hand, as a Demonized Creature, the silver rabbit held some value for dissection and research. Encountering one was fortunate. If he dragged things out and let it escape, it would be quite a loss. On the other hand, the silver rabbit was not weak in combat. If the fight continued, it might inflict quite a few injuries on him, which would be troublesome to deal with.

So it was better to end this quickly.

Thinking this, as he watched the silver rabbit attack once more, Richard still held the scalpel in his right hand, but tipped his left hand toward the ground. A White Jade Shard slid from his sleeve.

The three-centimeter-wide, eight-centimeter-long, three-millimeter-thick White Jade Shard was covered in incomparably intricate magic runes. With a soft snap, Richard caught it in his hand. Mana from the magic source within his body surged out rapidly, flowing at high speed through the White Jade Shard before taking effect.

With a crack, the White Jade Shard broke in half, and the surrounding air suddenly churned. At the same time, Richard viciously drove the scalpel in his right hand downward, aiming straight for the silver rabbit's heart.

Slightly panicked, the silver rabbit twisted its body and dodged to the side. But the next moment, it slammed solidly into an invisible Air Wall. With a bang, it was thrown uncontrollably to the side.

Richard slid forward, his blade pursuing the silver rabbit's body like a venomous snake and cutting into its fur. That familiar sticky resistance appeared again. Richard knew that with the air shield present, it would be difficult for him to injure the vital parts of the silver rabbit's body.

But difficult did not mean impossible.

He tipped his left hand down again, and another White Jade Shard slid out. He caught it with a snap. Mana surged from the magic source within his body and poured into it.

Richard clearly felt the surrounding air stir and gather around him, covering the surface of his body like armor.

The next moment, power erupted from his feet, passed through his legs to his waist, traveled along his spine to his shoulders, then surged into his right arm, passing through his elbow and wrist joints all the way to his fingers. At that moment, the air armor formed was like the exoskeleton armor of legend, greatly amplifying his strength at every stage of its transmission. In the end, that power erupted completely at its endpoint.

With a whoosh, the dagger in Richard's hand suddenly grew heavy, as though the weight of a thousand pounds had pressed down on it. In an instant, it forcibly pierced the air shield around the silver rabbit's torso and stabbed into its body.

With a splurt, Richard swept his dagger, and a large spray of blood burst forth.

Squeak!

The silver rabbit screamed miserably and fell to the ground bleeding. It rolled several times before struggling back to its feet.

Compared to the other frenzied animals, the silver rabbit had only just been demonized. Although it had been affected by the Mental Strength that had erupted from the nearby mountain, the effect had been relatively mild. Its aggressiveness had indeed increased greatly, but it would not fight to the death, especially after being injured. At this point, it already intended to retreat. It hissed at Richard, its eyes darting toward the distance.

Richard keenly noticed this, and his gaze sharpened.

He had gone to such lengths and even used two magic-rune White Jade Shards. If he still let it escape, that would be far too great a loss.

He had to keep it here.

As he thought this, the silver rabbit moved first.

Still as a maiden, swift as a rabbit.

At that moment, the silver rabbit was truly swift as a rabbit. Bursting out at full speed, it nearly became a silver arrow beneath the moonlit night, whistling as it fled into the distance.

Richard did not hesitate. He acted quickly, tipping his left hand downward as another White Jade Shard slid out and landed in his grasp. Mana then surged forth, rapidly activating it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The air suddenly shook and churned, solidifying in the silver rabbit's path and turning into a sturdy wall.

Bang!

The silver rabbit crashed straight into it with a dull thud. Yet it did not stop at all. Using its tremendous speed, it actually stepped onto the Air Wall and ran sideways through the air.

This! Richard's eyes flashed. He was just about to stab out with his dagger when, after taking several sideways steps along the Air Wall, the silver rabbit forcefully kicked off with all four legs, left the Air Wall, and flew toward him, viciously swiping at his eyes.

A feint! Richard raised an eyebrow and swung his dagger through the air, changing from attack to defense.

The next moment, the silver rabbit's two front legs struck the dagger, sending sparks flying. Then its entire body twisted, making a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree spin. Its head and tail reversed, its front legs becoming hind legs. It kicked viciously off the dagger again, making it sink. The silver rabbit then leaped high toward the top of the Air Wall at even greater speed.

The Air Wall created by the spell was only two meters high. With that borrowed force, the silver rabbit easily cleared it and continued fleeing into the distance.

For a moment, Richard was surprised. He had not expected a silver rabbit to possess intelligence no less than a human's.

However, he was determined to get it. He would never let it truly escape.

The next moment, another White Jade Shard fell into his hand and activated.

The surrounding air churned, rapidly gathering around his body, especially around his legs and feet.

Richard suddenly felt his entire body grow lighter. He stomped hard on the ground, leaping high into the air as he pursued the silver rabbit.

Then Richard took out his fifth White Jade Shard so far and activated it.

With a whoosh, the air in front of the silver rabbit solidified again, becoming a transparent wall.

Magic Rune Spell: Zero-Ring Low-Tier - Wind Barrier.

The silver rabbit was obstructed, and Richard caught up close behind it, swinging his dagger forward in a stab.

The silver rabbit repeated its old trick, bursting into motion and running sideways along the Air Wall before attacking, then using the dagger as a foothold to leap upward.

Just as it was about to clear the Air Wall, the sixth White Jade Shard in Richard's hand activated. A cluster of dim blue flame suddenly exploded before the silver rabbit's eyes, making it stagger and fall uncontrollably.
