So I'm a Snake, Who Cares

’Assassination attempt, what do you mean!’

This isn’t some royal court.

This is a zoo overflowing with dreams and hope.

"Exactly, what it, sounds like."

But hearing the pouched rat’s words, it seemed such a terrible thing had actually happened.

In the quiet night before the typhoon, the rabbit quietly infiltrated.

The black rabbit with pitch-black fur would have easily blended into darkness.

He tried to take off Raota’s head while sleeping but failed.

Raota is having a decisive battle with the rabbit while wounded.

’You know quite a lot!’

Pretty detailed for a night attack.

"Just look over there..."

Well, it was clear that a fight was happening, evidenced by the frantic shouts and clash of weapons echoing through the valley. The sounds of battle carried far in the still air.

Beams of brilliant magic were decorating the pitch-black night sky, their streaks of blue and crimson light cutting through the darkness like celestial ribbons. Each flash illuminated the ground below in brief, haunting pulses.

The fight must have started not long ago, as the ground was barely trampled and the metallic scent of blood had only just begun to permeate the air. The initial confusion of the ambush still lingered.

Even so, the white monsters were in chaos, their ranks breaking and reforming without any semblance of strategy. Their pale forms scattered in different directions like leaves in a whirlwind, each one acting on its own instincts.

Well, you can’t expect goblin tribe level unity from them. Unlike those small green warriors who fought with surprising coordination, these creatures seemed to lack even the most basic understanding of battlefield cooperation. Their superior numbers meant little without discipline.

’Everyone gather!’

"Gatherr!"

However, our Zoo Animals shouldn’t show such a sight.

’Follow carefully, I’ll go first and catch that rabbit.’

"Yess!"

The pouched rat started gathering our crew members.

I ran without looking back.

If the assassination attempt failed, the fight won’t last long.

This place is practically the middle of enemy territory for the rabbit so he’ll surely try to escape.

Rather than joining the fight, block the escape route.

That was my strategy.

My speed crawling on the ground is slower than those with legs.

So I arrived just in time.

Before the black rabbit could escape, to his escape route.

Piing!

A stray beam flew and struck near me.

Whew, almost got spotted.

I hid my body in the darkness.

「Using Black Scales lv5」

Tsutsu-

My scales turned black.

Since Black Scales reached level 5, using the Black Scales skill became easier regardless of emotional changes.

Black color is definitely easier to hide in darkness.

This is good too.

I could see the rabbit and Raota fighting in the distance.

The rabbit was incredibly fast.

Though he didn’t seem to have enough destructive power to handle Raota, that speed was amazing.

Though there was clearly nothing in the air, he jumped again in mid-air.

Just like double jump in games.

Wonder if that’s the effect of the Bunny Hop skill.

A skill worth stealing...

Brother Raota definitely has the advantage in destructive power.

However, even having strong power is useless if you can’t hit your opponent.

"Kururururooo-!"

Brother roared as if annoyed.

And the rabbit who approached close to Raota grazed brother’s neck as he went down.

Pishuuu-

Blood flows from the wound on his neck.

Looking at it that way it seems like a big hit but well.

Saturnu Wyvern’s scales are extremely powerful.

Moreover, brother with his huge body has a physique that wouldn’t become anemic even losing several PET bottles worth of blood.

As I expected, brother didn’t seem to take much damage.

He pounced on the rabbit with a physical attack but.

Kwang!

Only dirt scattered, the rabbit succeeded in retreating.

"Kuheong!"

"Kkurrrrr-!"

And finally the white monsters were running to help Raota too.

Though very late, it would be sufficiently threatening to the rabbit who appeared alone.

As expected the rabbit turned and started running away.

That speed was so incredibly fast it seemed like almost no one could catch up.

And even those who could catch up just ran to Raota while reading the situation.

Well, who could catch the black rabbit who was just fighting equally with a huge wyvern?

Except for a snake like me.

I popped out from a narrow path.

"Hi."

"Kyueng!"

The startled rabbit jumped up brightly.

Seems like he just made quite a cute sound.

"You, you’re."

’Yes. Whitey waited to take you.’

To the afterlife that is.

Having exchanged glances, there was no need to hesitate now.

Without either of us taking initiative, we rushed at each other.

I felt it while exchanging blows last time.

The seemingly insignificant rabbit before me was by no means an insignificant monster.

I can catch flying arrows with my bite.

And even at that speed, the rabbit responded perfectly.

The moment I tried to bite his soft thigh.

The rabbit pulled back his leg and swung his front paw.

Kiing-

Sharp claws spring forth.

Claws that seem to have hardness close to a cloud iron sword.

I take the attack trusting in Black Scales’ defense.

Kaduk!

Nevertheless I got wounded.

But unlike me, his claws had no poison.

In exchange for taking damage, I succeeded in getting my head between his armpits.

And I wrap his body with my tail.

Just as I was about to squeeze and bite.

Something large was stuffed in my mouth.

It was a stone.

Putting a stone in my mouth to block biting attacks, what a creative one.

However, a snake’s weapons aren’t just biting.

Constriction is also an excellent weapon.

Especially if the opponent is a not-so-large rabbit.

Grrk-

Though I squeezed the rabbit’s body.

He endured it.

"Kkeuk."

"Agagak!"

At this rate Thunder Spirit...

Just as I was about to use it!

The rabbit spoke with gleaming eyes.

"Call lightning, snake."

"Gak?" Stay updated via empire

"Lightning...!"

What’s with this guy.

I was going to use Thunder Spirit anyway but the rabbit’s expression is strange.

An expression like he’s full of anticipation.

So it makes me not want to use the Thunder Spirit I was about to use.

Should I use magic or cloud iron sword.

Though the principle is hiding three-tenths of skill, isn’t that originally saved to strike unexpectedly?

Like everything in life, that moment of hesitation changed fate.
