Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem-Chapter 576: Frantic Bunny Girl
It didn’t take a genius to figure out what Vex was going for. Her taking me and Iris means we’re the heavy-hitting team, the main group. On the other hand, Ignis can use his fire powers to ascend high into the skies and make a run for it if they get overwhelmed, leaving the rest of his group to their own devices, hence giving him the sacrificial lambs designed by the Obsidian Circle Members themselves.
The only ones who could keep up with Raika are Vex and Ignis, so letting the wild woman do her thing was for the best instead of adding a young combatant to her side who might even get murdered for daring to hold her back.
"Alright, sounds good to me. Super rookie, since you’ve already been given a communication artifact, take my crystal as well." Ignis said and flicked his fiery red-colored crystal at me, which I caught in my palm. After embedding it, I brought out my own crystal and returned the gesture. I gave one to Vex next.
Although she could call me on this artifact as they calibrated it themselves; hence, they didn’t need my crystal to call me, it didn’t hurt for her to have the ability to call even if something were to happen to the artifact itself and I had to get a new one.
I then turned toward Raika, intending to do the same, but she was long since gone, already in the midst of her journey through beastman lands.
I didn’t have high hopes for this exchange to go through from the beginning; she likely wouldn’t have accepted my crystal even if she were present. Thus, I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest.
"Let’s get going, shall we?" Vex asked in her typical cheery, girly voice, and just like that, I, Iris, Vex, and my Heralds departed, creating our own group.
"Considering the size of Varkas’ ambush unit, they’re likely to have a settlement nearby." Iris voiced her thoughts, letting her time spent in the military shine.
Indeed, there were nearly fifty of them. Housing so many soldiers would likely require a barracks of sorts. Even though lionkin can hunt for their food and thus live off of the land, they were still humanoids at the end of the day. Eating raw food wasn’t their favorite thing to do, and it’s possible they’ve had families with them as well.
"Good observation. If only someone didn’t execute Varkas before we asked more questions…" Continue reading at novelbuddy
My accusation was met with giggling. "Hehe! That’s where you’re wrong, future hubby. Instead of trusting the word of a desperate lionkin, I would rather believe in the nose of Ghosty. You can lead us to where these smelly furries came from, can’t you?"
"Yes! Ghosty has to shield her nose, and even then, the stench of these smelly feline bastards is still very strong!" God damn. Was this the first time Blossom cursed someone out? To be fair, they kidnapped and enslaved her family, so it was more than deserved.
"Let’s get going then." Vex’s cheery words were accepted, and the eight of us began tracking through the way our ambushers came from, with Blossom leading the way. She didn’t even need to pause once to sniff around. As she said, their stench was very strong.
At long last, we’ve left the forests behind us, entering endless plains for as far as my eyes could see.
The Beastman Confederation was an alliance of numerous tribes of different beastkin subspecies. Despite them being allies, each subspecies had their own lands. The forests where Blossom’s family lived were neutral buffer zones between the beastkin and the humans. The long plains we were running through currently were exclusively owned by the lionkin.
"Mama, they’re back! I can’t wait to hear about Papa’s heroics!" As a humble fortification made of wood came into view, a child on the palisade cheered at our sight from the distance. However, the closer we came to the settlement, the more his smile faltered, until utter horror replaced his joy. "Mama! That’s not Papa! Invaders!!"
A horn’s blaring was the response to his shrieks.
"Considering this place likely houses non-combatants, I would normally ask if we should spare them, but…" I said while examining Vex’s sadistic, bloodthirsty features, and then glanced at Blossom. "Ghosty wants to kill Lionkin!"
Hatred oozed from her words. Just as I expected, the lionkin shall receive no mercy from our group. Not that I feel bad for them; I’m a hypocrite. Vex becomes happier the more lionkin she murders, as hunting them has been her century-long hobby, and the same seems to be true for Blossom as well. The entire subspecies could go extinct for all I cared if that made my women happier.
"Kyaaa!!! Come off cooldown already, you shitty spell!!!" Before we could assault the lionkin settlement, however, a loud, feminine cry from our left sounded.
We stopped in our tracks and watched a rabbit girl run for her life so swiftly that her legs seemed blurry. Behind her, multiple towering lionkin could be seen, doing their best to catch her. "Get her already! She can’t escape, or the Sunfang will hang us by our balls!"
"Kyaa!! Humans?! Why are they here, and most importantly, why now?! Come off cooldown already!!" The rabbitkin kept whining, crying, and frantically screaming all at once as she continued running right toward us.
But then, a sudden, giant grin plastered across her features. "Finally!" She turned her head around and mockingly stuck her tongue out, "Nyeh! Catch BunBun now, you muscle-brained kittens!! [Sky Hopper]!"
From what I could see, she was a normal humanoid beastkin like Blossom, just with bunny ears and a tail adorning her body instead of my dog-girl’s canine features. That changed when she cast her spell, however. Both of her legs transformed to that of a giant rabbit’s as fur and strong muscles replaced her dainty feminine limbs.
She crouched low for a brief moment, collecting all her strength into her newly gained legs, and then launched herself off the ground with incredible force.

Just from her initial jump, she probably crossed about 50 meters (164 feet) of distance, but what was truly shocking was that while being mid-air, she started hopping forward and higher toward the skies in rapid succession, resembling a rabbit’s movements—just in the sky. Within a few moments, she was but a small dot.
"Spineless coward, fight us!" The lions shouted as they watched the same spectacle as us, but their mood quickly shifted when they noticed that we were, in fact, humans.
Humans in lionkin lands.
"Who are you, fangless monkeys?!"
Vex ignored their snarls and growls and turned to me, "Future hubby, we’ll take care of this. Can you catch that rabbit for me? She shouldn’t be in lionkin territory; something is going on, and I want to know what. However, be wary. [Sky Hopper] is an innate rabbitkin ability they gain upon reaching level 30, so don’t think her to be a weakling just because she seems to be a coward. When driven into a corner, herbivore beastkin can be extremely deadly."
Sigh… I couldn’t help but sigh as I watched the small dot next to the sun. Catching her certainly wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. Nonetheless, I was curious about her too, so I obliged.
