Chapter 76 - Lustful Beast!
Ban immediately took three steps back upon feeling the hateful gaze that the Beasts were releasing. He already checked the two Beasts information earlier hence the reason why he did not want to disturb them.
[ Successful! Beast recognized as the Mad-Lust Rabbit!
Rank: X-Mortal to F-Apprentice Rank!
Grade: Normal
Always driven by lust, the Mad-Lust Rabbit can be seen humping and mating all day long. Accompanied by their never-ending stamina, they can last up to a whole day without releasing their fluid. They enjoyed mating so much that they will forget about eating causing some of them to die while mating.
Warning! Please don't disturb them if seen mating!
Skills:
Blue-Balled Rage(Mortal)(Male Mad-Lust Rabbit): A skill that can only be used after being interrupted while mating!
Effects: Using the unreleased fluid as a fuel, the male Mad-Lust Rabbit will enter in rage-mode to let the culprit pay the price for interrupting its enjoyment.
...
Blue-Bean Rage(Mortal)(Female Mad-Lust Rabbit): A skill that can only be used after being interrupted while mating!
Effects: With the frustration as the fuel, the female Mad-Lust Rabbit will enter in rage-mode and show the male a contempt for being useless by choosing a bad mating spot. Will ditch the male after showing contempt and if held back, the male might suffer some consequences.
…
Method to Contract:...

The sole reason why he wanted to avoid them was due to their single ability that can let them enter rage-mode.
According to the Book of Techniques, a Normal Grade Beast can learn one or two skills at most at their disposal. On the other hand, an Elite and a Lord Grade Beast can learn more depending on their circumstances and origin. The same rules apply to Summoned Monsters unless the Summoner uses a special method to let a Normal Grade Monster learn its third skill.
And just as what the description about the Mad-Lust Rabbit stated, never provoke them while mating as their sole skill can be extremely troublesome.
The Rabbit was huge, nearly reaching as high as Ban's waist. It's two ears kept on twitching while its reddened eyes stared at Ban ferociously. It's white furred body was also twitching as its long fingernails pierced the ground.
SQUEAK!
The male Mad-Lust Rabbit released an ear piercing squeak as it instantly pounced towards Ban.
Seeing that, Ban did not waste any time as he immediately took the Ant Mask, the Noble Moth Cloak as well as the Twin Baton inside the Dimensional Storage. He figured that as he was currently near the core area of the Tranquil Forest, there will be less Adventurers that come here so there's low chances that someone would see him while wearing them.
He immediately put them on as he armed himself with the Twin Baton. Meanwhile, he also told Eva to jump off of his shoulder and transform into her combat form while she's at it.
Seeing the sudden change, the Mad-Lust Rabbit was taken aback for a second, especially after seeing his pitch black eyes as well feeling the noble aura that surrounded. However, the Mad-Lust Rabbit was already consumed by its own skill, the Blue-Balled Rage so it could no longer stop.
The Mad-Lust Rabbit that was trying to pounce on them was only a Normal Grade, F-Apprentice Rank Beast.Arming himself to the bone while letting Eva transform into her combat form was already an overkill, However, Ban did not take it to mind as he thought that if he could dispose of it early, then the better.
He also did not want to underestimate it as he knew quite well what a rage-mode means. After all, Eva also has the same kind of skill, and he even has the luxury to try it once. He could not deny the explosive strength that the skill brings.
In fact, Ban was right on his decision of not underestimating the Mad-Lust Rabbit that was in rage-mode.
The Rabbit arrived in front of him and immediately swiped its sharp fingernails towards his chest.
BOOM!
A deafening sound echoed as Ban blocked its attack with the Baton on his right hand. His hand trembled from the impact but he just endured it while gritting his teeth. He did not waste that momentary pause as he also swung the left Baton towards its head.
BAM!
The Rabbit was not able to dodge and its head swayed back as its reddened eyes started to dim. However, it recovered a moment later and immediately countered with another swipe that Ban decided to avoid by leaning back.
Although both of them are at the same rank, F-Apprentice Rank, it is a known fact that Monsters and Beasts are generally stronger than humans, or Summoners of the same level.
It was not only because they have stronger bodies but it was also due to the fact that Monsters and Beasts will be able to learn or acquire skills naturally while the humans or summoners could only acquire them using special means, such as absorbing a Skill Crystal or by using Evil means to gain a particular skill. Although there are some instances that a human or Summoner can learn it naturally, they are just extremely rare occurrences.
Even though Ban leaned back at the perfect time, he also underestimated the reach of the Mad-Lust Rabbit's fingernail. His eyes went wide for a second as he determined that the fingernail would most likely hit or scrape his face.
Screech!
However, only a screeching sound was heard when the fingernail hit his face, or more precisely, the mask on his face.
The Ant Mask is indestructible as long as the attacker was not two realms higher than the user. It means that even if the one who attacks him was at the highest rank of the Multi Realm, the Ant Mask would still remain the same.
However, it was only the mask that was indestructible, Ban's face and neck wasn't.
The force that came along with fingernail swipe made his head sway to the side as he staggered a few steps sideways.
Eva who had just transformed into her combat form saw what happened and without thinking about it, she immediately dashed towards the Mad-Lust Rabbit with her eyes full of ferocity and madness.
