The surrounding become quiet for a minute.
Only the sound of Cale's tapping his foot on Rosalyn's palm could be heard.

'How in the world can Choi Han knew about this tree?'
The bunny stared at the swordmaster.

"Ah."
Choi Han noticed the gaze as he quickly smile.

"I heard an old story about this large tree from the old villagers when I live at Harris Village."

'Ah. I guess this tree must be quiet well known for it's curse.'

Cale sat on Rosalyn's palm quietly as he started to frown.

Cale was thinking the way how to communicate with the tree.
He so annoyed because he couldn't talk right now.

'How can this tree can talk but I can't?'

"Young Master..."
Rosalyn looked at the bunny.
It must be hard not be able to talk in that bunny body.

"Hey."
Choi Han stabbed the wall of the cave.

The wall should be hard as hell but it's nothing for Choi Han's strength.

"Change Cale-nim back to his human form."
His stare was so vicious eventhough he said those words calmly.

....I... I can't do that..

'Hah! What does it mean? This damn tree can turn me into a bunny but can't change me back to my original form?'
The bunny has a look of disbelief on his face.

This unfortunate human...he burnt the wood that contain my magic power...sob...sob....

'Hmm?'

I..i am the victim here...I just live my life peacefully but this bunny try to burn me. So I unconsciously activate my mana and turn him into a bunny.
That's the last mana remaining inside me before this former human burn the wood that should contain my mana.
Sob..sob.. sniff..

'The heck??!'
The bunny stood up subconsciously.

Cale couldn't believe what he heard just now.

'Did this tree just put all the blames on me?'
Cale's long ears twitch in anger.

'And what mana? You are a f*cking curse!!!'
It's annoyed Cale even more since he couldn't speak at all.

Choi Han and Rosalyn just kept quiet as if they were focusing on listening the poor tree's sad story.

There's nothing I can do about it. Guess he need to live his life like that....
I'm really sorry...sob....sob..

Choi Han bit his lip in disappointment.
Rosalyn also has a sad look in her eyes.

'Hah! Are you both really believe this dumb tree?'

The bunny jump down from Rosalyn's palm and tapped the ground with his foot.

'If this tree won't tell us the way to break the curse, we just need to destroy the cause of the curse'

It was the tree.
It's the cause of this curse since it was the one who put this troublesome curse on Cale.

"Cale-nim....."
Choi Han looked at Cale.
His eyes looked teary.

'I don't want Cale-nim to live in that form all his life.'
Choi Han crouched down and patted the bunny's head.

'No. Choi Han, there's no way I'm gonna remain like this till I die.'
The bunny hold Choi Han's hand that is much larger than his smal paw.

Choi Han who was staring at the bunny flinched when he saw the bunny's eyes.

His body is small but his eyes are sharp as a knife.
His eyes looked cold as he stare at Choi Han.

"Ah.... I-I'm sorry."
Choi Han bowed his head towards the bunny.

This bunny is Cale Henituse.
The Cale Henituse that was known for his intelligent and his coldness.
Eventhough he is in bunny's form, he is still that Cale Henituse.
No one can ever get in his way or gain victory against him.
He only has sympathy for his people and didn't give a f*ck about his enemies or his people's enemies.

The bunny's cold reddish-brown eyes stared at Choi Han while tapping his hand.

The bunny opened his mouth.

'Destroy this tree.'

There's no warmth in those reddish-brown eyes.
He really didn't give a damn about this ancient spooky tree.

'This tree dares to act like a victim and put all the blames on me?
Dear spooky tree, you live for too long, you should give a spot for a new tree to grow here.'

The bunny smiled but his smile looked scary.

This tree just afraid of death that it's rather put a curse on himself to keep it alive. But the curse didn't harm the tree, it harms the creatures around it.

'I wonder how you know this?'

– Cale, I just wake up from my consciousness.... And what the hell with this body? It's way to weak compared to your human body! You can't even use the shield with this kind of body!

Cale smirked.
'So, it's not like this body is too weak that they couldn't talk to me. It just that they lost consciousness for some time when I turned into a bunny.'

That's great.
It's truly great.

– Wtf does this tree saying?? He was the one who cursing you. This tree just afraid of death that his whole body is full of curse to keep him live. What a pathetic tree. I thought only human is as pathetic as this.

– He should die by now, he just absorbed another creature life forces all these time.

The Fire of Destruction and Super Rock talk bad about the tree.

'You guys can feel the curse inside this tree?'

– Not all of us. Only the Glutton can sense it.

– Not his whole body actually. This tree kept his curse inside that damn wood that you had burnt.

– Hey, Glutton, is there no way to break this curse?

– It's better to just destroy the tree actually.

The ancient powers kept chatting inside Cale's mind.

– That's great! CAN I DO THAT?

– Hey, Cheapskate! We couldn't use our power when Cale is in this cute bunny form. He is too weak.

– Damn. That's a shame.

'It's fine.'
The bunny looked at Choi Han with a confident gaze.

'I have someone else to destroy this f*cking tree for me.'
The bunny's eyes look scary all of sudden.
