Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Thud...

Followed by the soft sound of falling flesh, the eyes of the guards stationed on the top of the wall couldn't help but constrict in shock and dread.

Although they had already expected that some of them would die tonight at the hands of those abominations, they never expected that someone would immediately die in a matter of a few seconds!

Furthermore, they couldn't even comprehend nor see how the guard died! Making their hearts turn cold upon imagining that they would also die if they were in that guard's situation!

"Don't just stand there! Attack! Do you all want your loved ones to die?!"

With a loud shout, the late stage of the core formation realm guard suddenly vanished from his current location, traversing the battlefield at swift speed before arriving in front of the familiar eagle beast.

Soul Bound Weapon: Wind Sword!

In an instant, without giving the eagle beast enough time to react, the guard immediately summoned a feather-like sword from the void, shimmering with a weak green glow as soft yet sharp wind materialized around it, hurriedly slicing through the atmosphere before colliding toward the physique of the eagle!

Ding!

Unfortunately, although the eagle beast was caught off guard by milliseconds, it still managed to raise its sharp claws on time, rashly deflecting the attack of the human on its front as its body uncontrollably flew toward the far distance due to the intense force that the guard uses.

Damaging its internal organs by quite an amount as traces of green blood ooze from the corner of its beak.

"It was still not enough; with many beings inhaling the mist, the creation of it couldn't keep up, making its effects and suppression degrade by a huge amount...'

Beholding this, Leo, above one of the ceilings of the tall building, further fueled his mist of illusion skill with his liquified Qi, making the creation of its mist hasten by folds, causing the imperceptible mist that shrouded the 1,000 meters in diameter to visibly thicken within his senses.

Sure enough, with his delicate manipulation, some of the beasts above, below the late stage of the foundation realm began to show signs of confusion, making them appear dazed and sluggish upon inhaling a considerable amount of his mist of illusion skill.

Although Leo didn't tinker with the scene that the beasts were seeing by activating the imperceptible mist that invaded their brains, just relying on the basic effects of his skill was already enough!

At least it would increase the advantages of the guards above by folds! Ensuring that most of them would survive this invasion!

"This... A chance!'

Unaware of what was occurring within the minds of those abominations, the guards within the tall wall continuously poured their offensive skills toward the beasts and quasi-devils in the far distance, reaping countless lives in the process... Causing the weight of the sudden death of the guard slowly vanishes within their minds before being replaced by intense killing intent.

Furthermore, with the head guard holding the eagle beast on the far horizon, if this continued, they would be able to kill all of the beasts without suffering too many casualties!

An already good exchange in their opinion!

At least it was far from the death toll that appeared when those quasi-devils attacked the town weeks ago!

Boom!

...

SHRIEKKK!

As the cultivators of the town began to gain momentum with the secret help of Leo, a sudden, ominous shriek, originating from the backs of the horde, echoed toward the far distance.

Quickly traveling toward the void before abruptly entering the ears of the guards!

"This..."

Ughh~

In an instant, upon hearing the frightful shriek of the unknown beast, the guards above the tall wall suddenly suffered from intense headaches, causing their spell-casting to abruptly halt as they released a groan of pain in unison.

"Soul Eating Birds!"

Although they hadn't seen the beast that attacked them, the familiar skill it used, capable of damaging and tearing one's soul upon hearing its frightful shriek, allowed them to identify the beast that attacked them!

Making the expressions of the cultivators turned grim upon understanding the threat they were facing!

Even though they still lacked knowledge regarding the cultivation, techniques, and skills, they still knew that skills and abilities that were related to the soul were extremely hard to guard against!

To the point that only beings above the foundation realm had the basic durability against it!

...

Keke~

Seeing the familiar figures of those black abominations within the dark sky, flapping their metallic wings with strong force as they eyed the cultivators below the town greedily with those beady eyes of theirs, Leo couldn't help but unfold a devious grin on his face, summoning dozens of elite daggers within the void before coating them with his telekinetic ability...

"Keke~ I almost forgot my vow to annihilate your hateful species; I still hadn't forgotten the scene when I almost died within your species' grasp in the past.

"Furthermore, it happened to me twice!'

Remembering the scene when he was still a dark, pathetic wisp, Leo's expression suddenly twisted in an unimaginable way, couldn't help but cover his face afterward due to the intense embarrassment he was experiencing.

(This is the normal behavior of humans after remembering their shameful past.)n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Still remembering the mistakes he committed in the past and how many times he almost died due to carelessness.

Fortunately, other than him and the fissure above, no one saw the mistakes he committed, making him sigh in relief afterward upon concluding that his shameful past would be buried deep within his consciousness... Before being forgotten for the rest of his life!

"However, for now, I should kill those little birds; I couldn't allow them to permanently destroy the souls of the cultivators below the core formation realm.'

Thinking of it and understanding the pain the soul-eating birds could give upon using their "Soul Shriek" skill, Leo hurriedly manipulated the daggers within the atmosphere...

Swish~

Using the countless skills the guards were releasing in order to hide the little figures of his daggers, allowing most of them to successfully approach the physique of the soul-eating birds without them sensing it!
