Karl flagged down the first group of guards that he came across and stopped to ask them a few basic questions.
"Sorry to delay your patrol, I just came in from Bara, and my group will be looking to hunt the overflow from the creature spawns." Karl greeted the massive man leading the group.
A small, lop eared beastkin man behind the guard team leader poked him and leaned forward to whisper in his car.
{That man is dangerous. Something he has is an imminent threat.} The rabbit-kin man whispered.
Karl shrugged. "I have that effect on some people, but I assure you that I'm not here with any bad intentions."
The whole guard team gave him matching doubting looks.
"Alright, I can see how my assurances won't really settle your minds. But I suspect that I know what your team member has sensed. Might I bring a few of my team members to our location? The link between them and me is likely what is causing the sense of danger." Karl offered.
"Nice and slow, no sudden movements. The rabbits have impeccable danger sense. If he says you're dangerous, you are dangerous."
Karl carefully removed Lotus and Rae from the space, and the Cleric immediately squealed in joy.
"Bunny! You found a bunny!"
"AH! Green Dragon Cleric!"
"Wait, come back!"
The rabbit had much more powerful legs than Karl had expected, and the man had vaulted over a dozen metres backwards when Lotus appeared, but now that he was out of immediate danger, his eyes were locked on Rae.
"That is the danger. That's not anything that should exist in this world." The rabbit man insisted.
"Sister Rae is really nice, though. She makes hammocks for us to nap in." Lotus insisted, while the guards tried not to laugh.
"So, the danger was a Green Dragon Cleric and a goth Demoness?" The team leader asked.
The man on his left shook his head. "No, the threat is definitely that man and the woman in black. They have some sort of aura ability. Do you not feel it?"
The burly beastkin shrugged. "Nothing unusual for an adventurer"
Rae snapped her fingers and gave a sharp toothed smile as she realized. "It's the passive aura. We both have a bloodline suppression passive effect available, but currently not in use. Those with significantly lesser potential than we have will feel a sense of oppression. It's not active, but I don't think that it turns all the way off."
The rabbit man nodded. "I think that's it. The one called Karl is absolutely terrifying, and the one named Rae isn't much less oppressive, but the aura of danger that she gives off is much higher.
I think that might be because she is a predatory species which cats rabbits, though."
Rae shrugged. "Food is food. But I don't generally eat rabbit people, just rabbits and other things that get stuck in my web!"
The team leader gave her a confused look, and Karl shrugged, while Rae pretended to be oblivious, as she was enjoying their terror.
"Lady Rae is a Blood Destruction Demonic Spider. The aura is innate to her species, so anything that couldn't reach at least. Totem Rank without the System will feel the effect to some degree." Karl explained.
"So, she has Totem Ranked potential?" The team leader asked.
