Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Slash!

In the far distance, as the soul-eating birds were about to again use their soul-shrieking skill, a sudden metallic glint appeared within the corner of their eyes.

Making their beady, emotionless irises constrict greatly as they behold how the metallic objects penetrated their heads, cutting their thick, metallic skin unimpeded before destroying their brains that were akin to tofu afterward...

Ding!

[ Congratulations on killing a beast at the late stage of the foundation realm... ]

[ Congratulations on killing a beast at the middle stage of the foundation realm... ]

[ Congratulations on killing... ]

Seeing the slight increase in his exp bar, Leo unfolds a slight grin on his pale face before retracting the countless daggers within the atmosphere, hiding them within his inventory in order to avoid being noticed by beings in the core formation realm.

Although he wasn't afraid of battle, Leo was quite aware that it wasn't time to show himself; at least, he needed to wait till those core formation realm beasts and devils hiding behind the cannon fodders began their attack.

Furthermore, his only priority right now is to complete his class job requirements. As for solidifying his foundation, it could wait till he successfully upgraded his class job to Elite rarity! By then, he would be able to gain another set of skills that could increase his capabilities by an unknown amount!

...

"Keke~ this was simply unexpected; I didn't expect that a quarter of the beasts had already died in just 10 minutes."

Licking the corner of his lips, a beast, with a human body and snake head stared at the cultivators in the far distance with intense desire, scratching the green scales on his face afterward upon seeing how their cannon fodders began to dwindle in number.

Although it didn't matter to them if all those cannon fodders died in the hands of those humans, it still bothered them after beholding how the human cultivators managed to easily kill the lower beasts without suffering many casualties.

Furthermore, they could even sense beings, not weaker than them in terms of the cultivation stage, secretly eyeing them from an unknown location.

Deepening their anticipation in the process upon imagining that they could finally feast on human flesh, allowing their cultivation stage to finally increase at hastened speed in the process!

It could be said that in the early stages of beast cultivation, due to their lack of intelligence, most of them relied on consuming objects and life forms that were rich in Mana and Qi in order to elevate their realms and stages.

They only managed to elevate their intelligence and awareness upon reaching the late stage of the foundation realm!

Although it was still far from the basic intelligence of humans, it still allowed them to start absorbing the Qi within the surrounding environment in order to elevate their life order!

Hence, using the human cultivators as a tonic was a great help to them!

"Hisss~ Should we start taking action? I could no longer suppress the ranging instinct within my beings; I'm afraid that I would rashly move forward due to that."

CAWWW! (Indeed, it was the same case for me; furthermore, we needed to hasten our speed before the Lord showed himself.)

As the humanoid snake beast was busy entertaining himself, a sudden, incoherent voice entered his head, directly communicating with him using their soul power— a testament that the beast's technique was far more advanced than the humans in this place, considering that they still hadn't learned to control their soul power.

"Wait for a while; at least, let those cannon fodders dry the Qi's of those cultivators...

"Keke~ when that happened, we could freely feast to our hearts' content without being subjected to unnecessary risks!"

"This... I already ran out of Qi!"

"Give me some recovery potion, quick!"

Sure enough, as the beasts had expected, most of the cultivators within the town, especially those beings below the middle stage of the foundation realm, began to run out of Qi, making most of them anxious as they beheld the beasts within the atmosphere begin to rush toward their location with dense killing intent.

Brandishing their sharp, glinting claws while unfolding their disgusting maws full of vicious liquid toward them, filling the atmosphere above with their beastly aura, which hurriedly drilled toward the consciousness of the cultivators below.

Making some of them petrified due to the intense fear and dread, unable to move as they beheld the beasts plunge toward their direction with their shivering eyes.

"I... I'm going to die~'

Swish!

Swish!

However, before the beasts could close their distance toward the cultivators below, a sudden, faint, crispy sound of parting air suddenly echoed toward the surrounding space... Making the beasts unfold confusion in their eyes before being replaced by unprecedented blandness as they descend toward the ground lifelessly.

Thud...

With a heavy sound, the corpses of the beasts hit the ground, their faces facing the sky as the gaping hole within their forehead shows toward the confused cultivators and beasts around them.

"Huff~ Fortunately, I wasn't late.'

Seeing that only a few cultivators died from the unexpected attack of the beasts, Jake slowly caressed the exquisite wooden bow in his hand, pulling the silver string of it in the next second before firing toward the beast from afar.

Swish~

Ding!

[ Congratulations on killing a beast at the middle stage of the foundation realm! ]

"They finally arrived..."

Seeing the faint figures of the group 500 meters away from him, Leo unfolds a light smile on his face, hiding the countless floating daggers toward his inventory, before releasing a faint sigh of relief.

"It was almost time; I could finally start my plan...'

Thinking to himself, Leo stood up from his comfortable position before unhurriedly advancing toward the bloodied walls of the town, opening his character panel before putting all of his free attribute points toward his soul power, bringing it up to a staggering 1,350 points!

Churn~

In an instant, upon the drastic increase of his soul power, Leo's physique suddenly became more alive, gaining a hint of roseness on its pale complexion.

Furthermore, he even felt that his basic defense increased by at least 2%!

An already impressive increase in his opinion, to the point that it was almost comparable to the late rare rarity material!
