Huff~
Leo wiped off the imaginary sweat on his shadow forehead, feeling exhausted upon finally creating the 5th doll/puppet for the day... Consuming most of his Qi and mental energy in the process of creation.
"Although I only created 5 dolls, it almost took me almost half a day to finish creating it all..."

He mumbled under his breath as he gazed toward the almost setting sun on the far horizon, painting the land in dusk colour, causing the sleeping insect to start creating those irritated sounds of nature again!
Shifting his gaze toward the sculpted wooden table in his front, toward the 5 dolls he created, Leo couldn't help but smile creepily, feeling quite chills deep within his being even though he was the one who created them.
Hehe~ Hehe~
Their innocent laugh keeps resounding within his senses upon filling their core (Earth Gold) with Qi as their crimson eyes that glimmer under/within the darkness curiously scanned the surrounding cemetery with unprecedented coldness.
Their white yet extremely realistic pale faces, almost similar to a child's face were covered in swollen rotten tissue, slowly expelling a yellow disgusting liquid with a mixture of tidbits of red decaying flesh within...
Instinctively causing someone to feel disgusted.
Although it kept expelling those disgusting liquids, it never stopped by a bit, as if the doll's body contained an infinite amount of them... Making one's stomach churn just by thinking of it.

Kekeke~ This, it's an advanced grade! An advanced puppet! I finally advanced from beginner puppetry to advanced puppetry!
"Although it heavily relies on Epic materials to reach its current grade, nonetheless, its strength still reaches the Foundation realm!"
Pondering for a while, Leo's smile faded a little, noticing that there was a problem with its character panel.
"System, why can't its level increase like the Scarecrow?"
Ding!
[ Consume 2,500 horror points to answer the question. (Accept/Decline)?]
"Accept!"
Ding!
[ One of the basic requirements for a being to increase its natural level is to gain consciousness, soul, and intelligence...
As for the Scarecrow, the lingering resentment within its skin forms/leaves a small and weak soul imprint within, causing its consciousness to be born. (With the addition of the materials and inscription the creator used to create its being, forming a temporary vessel, it managed to stabilize its soul in pure luck...) ]
This!
"You mean that it was, the Scarecrow was literally alive!"
Leo showed a shocked expression on his shadow's face, greatly surprised upon learning that it was actually alive!
Shifting his gaze toward the Scarecrow in the far distance, Leo seems to notice a faint black colour within its temple (Soul)... It's just that it perfectly blends with its colour, causing him to be unable to notice it from the past... He needed to focus for a while just to capture its faint soul.
Ding!
[ Yes! ]
"It means, I created my first being?'
"Wait, no, it's probably not that exaggerated, I probably just managed to create it due to coincidence and great luck..."
...
Patting his chest, still feeling proud of himself although it was just a pure coincidence... Leo leisurely shifted his gaze toward the dolls on the wooden table, lightly commanding them to watch the cemetery from now on!
Giggle~
With a soft giggle, akin/similar to a playful child, the 5 dolls suddenly twisted their back, bending as they stood using their four sharp limbs.
Giggle...
As if not satisfied with the way that their hair almost touched the ground, the 5 dolls suddenly twisted their head... Creating a crisp sound within the silent cemetery, causing their heads that almost touch the ground to revert back from being normal...
Making Leo almost shout in pure surprise and slight fear.
Giggle~
Nodding slightly toward the dumbfounded Leo in front of them, the 5 dolls created a low clicking sound as they, without hesitation, rushed toward the depths of the cemetery at a hurried pace... Quickly vanishing within Leo's sight as their silhouette blended toward the far shadows.
"Huff~ I almost had a heart attack although I lack it!"
Leo patted his chest in relief, still feeling a lingering fear within him as he lightly glanced above.
Seeing that the sun already vanished within his line of sight, shrouding the sky in purple bland light, a testament that the night almost arrived...
Leo unhurriedly stood up from the charred ground, stretching his shadow being as he began to contemplate whether to enter the town or just focus on something else for tonight.
However, upon thinking that he killed a devil yesterday within the town, Leo could only helplessly give up his plan, feeling that it was unwise and extremely risky to enter that town for a while after killing someone.
"They were probably eying the town right now, wanting to catch the being who killed their companion... So they could silence him/her for good..."
Of course, the prerequisite is that the being (Leo) still hasn't told someone about their plan...
(Although he really had no idea about their plan was, it's still better to be cautious than sorry...)
