Garm's POV

This is bad. This is the worst situation possible. This outcome was something beyond my expectation. To think there was a remnant of my previous master, the top brass even worse, was quite unbelievable. If someone said that this was an illusion, I would believe it without any hesitation.

Lunatic Lepus

He was one of the most trusted aides of my former master. He was known for his cruelty and fondness in killing his opponents slowly with his scythe. My master told me once about this guy. There was a time where he had slain a flock of lesser dragon. The killing wasn't a problem but the method was. My master told me that this crazy bunny had slain them by scrapping the meat of those dragon bit by bit. It took him three days to finish those dragons and by the time my master checked his situation, the rabbit was sitting on huge piles of meat chunks while surrounded by some dying dragons and dragon corpse which were had the same state, they were stripped from their meat and revealed their internal organs.

The human side had feared this guy to the extent they even said 'if you see a bunny carrying a scythe, don't bother to think. Just get any possible weapon and commit suicide on the spot or you will see a living hell till you die'.

Lepus looked amused as he watched my current master. 

"To think there will be a stray hero passing by, it's quite interesting. I wonder what kind of scream and curse you will utter to me after this."

He said. I looked at my master. He poised his shield in front of him and grabbed my hilt. Even just from how he held me, I understand that he was rather shaken by the absurd existence before him.

"Then, let's- ah, that's right, you, hurry up and scram. Don't complain if I kill this guy who supposed to be your prey."

Lepus said to the undead overlord behind him. The flame in his eye socket flickered and he retreated to the back of the room without leaving it. 

"Careful, he'll start attacking."

I warned. My master, Ren, pulled me out from my sheath. It felt bit unpleasant when the holy artifact was acting beside me but that feeling lessened up when my master summoned his sacred treasures.

He had put his stance however, that alone wasn't enough as expected. In split second, the distance between Ren and Lepus shrank to nothing. Caught off guard against it, Ren received full impact of Lepus' kick. He used his leg instead of his scythe.

Ren who got sent flying by the kick crashed to a wall. I was gripped tightly in his hand. He tried to regain his balance but another violent kick landed on his flank again. This repeated over and over. Just from this repeated action, Lepus wanted to torture him to death or made him taste a bitter despair before executing the worse way to die beside being kicked to death.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel helpless. There probably almost no chance for Ren to survive. I felt bit guilty for not stopping him this time.

Ren staggered after few rounds of kicking. He had some blood trail in his mouth. He used me as support as he tried to stand up. It seems like he almost at his limit. Another kick landed on Ren. He who almost had no strength left, was forced to let me go as Lepus was pinning me to the ground as he kicked Ren.

"Then, I shall take back what's belong to us now."

Lepus declared as he picked me up.

"Oi, Wretched Rabbit!! Let me go!!"

I shouted.

"Noisy as ever eh, Garm? Well, if that's what you want."

Lepus said. With carefree manner, he dropped me to the floor.

"Since Garm won't play with me, then I shall play with you instead. Right, the heavily wounded hero-san?"

Lepus said as he walked toward Ren. He stopped when he saw a new spectator had arrived. A woman with blonde hair and crimson eyes was standing beside the undead overlord.

"Even you're here, huh? This place indeed not a nice place to visit."

I said. Yes, I recognized this woman. Just like Lepus, she was a former Legion Member of my previous master. Her name was Evaria Impatrice. She was known as the 'Bloody Vampire Empress' by the people in the past.

This woman wasn't as strong as Lepus in term of individual combat prowess. However, in term of term of being a troublemaker and danger level, she won't lose to Lepus. This girl had a tendency of 'collecting' young people especially girls who were madly in love to someone. And that tendency of hers was still persist even now. The proof was the existence of a single girl being carried on her left shoulder right now.

Eh? Isn't that...

I got very uneasy when I recognized the person she was carrying. She was Alicia, my current master's wife. And on the closer look, she even had a small dragon lying limply on the ground beside her feet.

"Oya, Eva, you got pick up a new girl again huh?"

Lepus said as if she didn't really care about it.

"Yeah, this girl caught my interest. I detected her loitering around one of my toys at the surface and found her. She was protected by another girl who caught my interest so I told my cute Lucy-chan to catch her as I will satisfy myself with this girl."

Eva said happily.

Snap!

I kind of heard something just snapped. 

"Lucy? Ah, that newborn demon lord you raised huh? I never know that disgusting shemale could be useful."

Lepus joked. 

Snap! Snap!

Another snapping sound was heard. I glanced at the source of that sound and saw something I never wanted to see for a second time since then. Ren, who was in miserable state was glaring at the two. I seems like he was very angry at them. And at that time, I then would witness the fear of enraging something that shouldn't even be awakened even for a second.
