Chapter 102: The Unrest Within the Town, Death Every Night! (1)
As Leo was happily practicing and cultivating within the area of the cemetery.
Miles away from him, inside the town...
An invisible tension hung above the sky as the humans above the high stone wall could be seen always surveying the ground area seriously... As if they were wary of something.
Below, dozens of guards could be seen marching back and forth within and outside the town.
Their bodies are always tense as they inspect every possible place that could be used for hiding within the town.

Unfortunately, after half a day of inspection, they never find their target... Causing their expression to further turn solemn as unease silently gripped their hearts.
"We couldn't rest! If we didn't find the murderer we wouldn't be able to rest peacefully!"
"How are you all going to sleep at night knowing that there was a possible murderer outside!?"
A Core Formation guard stared at his subordinates with a furious expression upon catching them lazying around, never expecting that they would still play around even though they just found 5 human corpses within their territory.
"But... The wounds on the corpse's body weren't made by humans. It should be the beast who killed them..." One of the guards rebuts.
Hearing this, instead of the expected outburst, the Core Formation guard couldn't help but laugh angrily to the point that veins appeared on his neck, scarring the guard shitlessly.
Approaching the guard that rebutted it, the Core Formation guard, without further ado, heavily punched the body of the guard, causing the latter to puke with blood...
"You're fired! Such an Idiotic excuse!
"Do you think that the high wall that surrounded this town is only for SHOW!!!" He shouted as he tossed the guard outside the barracks, not caring whether it was still alive or not...
"Now go! If I still find you all lazying around, there's no need for all of you to stay here!" The Core Formation guard bellowed as he watched the guards frantically rush outside...
Finally alone, the guard couldn't help but massage his brows, quite troubled and uneasy about the strange deaths.
...
"They still haven't caught/found the murderer?" Roland's face directly turned dark upon seeing the frantic and strict movement of the guards around, also feeling uncomfortable upon hearing the news earlier...
Catching one of the guards that he passed by, Roland asks "Where did you find those corpses?"
"This..." Feeling the heavy arms of Roland, the guard panicked within before finally replying upon noticing that he couldn't see through the Level of the human opposite him.
"On the west, near the stream..."
Boom!
The sound of a crisp loud explosion suddenly resounded within the town as black smoke instantly appeared on the horizon above... Quickly dyeing the west with black smoke.
This...
***
Boom!
Cough, cough...
A weak sound of explosion resounded within the silent cemetery followed by the intense sound of coughing...
Retracting his connection within the stove, Leo immediately saw the black ash within the cauldron as he began cleaning it.
"D*mn, who would expect that making the Ungraded uncommon potion could be this hard!
"Almost twice as Ungraded common potion!"
Leo couldn't help but complain within, feeling the absurdity of the increase in difficulty. Although the difference in grade could be said "Little", the spike in the difficulty could be said crazy!
Upon cleaning the cauldron, Leo immediately lay on the grass, both physically and mentally exhausted as he opened his character panel to see his improvement in the past week.

"This is not bad."
Although his level didn't increase in the past week, the improvement in his overall stats (thanks to the free attribute points from the system rewards) could still be seen.
Swish, swish!
As he was deeply pondering, looking at his class job that was still far away from upgrading to the next level, a sudden sound of grasses being stepped on echoed from the far distance...
"Who?" Leo confusedly thought as he warily gazed toward the distance, immediately standing up as he took out the knuckles inside his inventory... only for him to halt midway upon seeing the fast-approaching Jake in the distance.
This...
"What happened?" Leo frowned upon seeing the anxious expression on Jake's face... Feeling worried as he speculated the reason behind it.
"Don't go to the town in a few days or weeks..." Jake gasped for air as he glanced toward the cauldron beside Leo before looking at Leo's face as he asked for water.
"Why?" Tossing a water bottle to Jake, Leo again asks in curiosity and worry... Feeling quite impatient as he watched Jake unhurriedly gulp the water.
"Huff~ much better! Oh right, I almost forgot, just don't go to the town! A lot of strange things happened within the last few days...
Herbs and Fruits in the town mysteriously disappear one by one... and then there is also a murderer walking around the town, they still can't find him/her after countless days!"
"Besides that, beasts from the depths of the endless forest began to approach the town!
So it's best if you stayed here for a while!"
Jake gasped for air as he said all those words in one breath... Feeling thirsty, Jake again gulped the water within the bottle.
