Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 20: Soul Shrieking!

'That Little? I almost died earlier, yet you only gave me 25 exp points!"

Seeing the notification that tells him that the Black Crow is finally dead, Leo suddenly stops on its track.

"Wait..." As if thinking of something...

With a silent swoosh, Leo immediately becomes invisible as he turns around, quickly traveling back to where the Black Crow died.

As for the reason why, Leo actually wanted to see if the dead Black Crow released a skill scroll or item after it died.

Quietly emerging from the ground, Leo quickly scanned the surrounding area with his soul senses.

Soon enough, meters away from him, Leo quickly saw the incomplete flesh of the hateful crow on the ground, being feasted by the zombies.

'Snort... Unfortunately, I don't have a physical body, or else... I will surely spit on your dead body in anger!"

...

The sharp nails of the zombies pierced through the dead Crow's body as they clenched their hands, tearing part of its flesh before shoving it into their bloody mouths while some of the zombies directly tore the deceased body of the crow by their decayed mouth.

Sighing deeply, already gotten used to their disgusting method, Leo quickly surveyed the ground close to the deceased body to see if there were scrolls or items on the ground.

"Ehh? Is that..."

Soon, after looking for a while beside the dead crow in the distance, Leo finally saw a flickering blue scroll lying there silently.

Amidst the chaos in the surroundings, only the blue scroll flickering with weak light seems peaceful.

Entranced by the beauty of the scroll, Leo adeptly maneuvered his faint black tendril. Evading the feasting zombies at the same time advancing toward the blue scroll on the ground.

Soon, while holding his breath, Leo's tendril of smoke finally touched the scroll on the ground.

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon getting a Blue Skill Scroll! ]

After anxiously waiting for 7 seconds the blue scroll beside the dead crow finally vanished into thin air, followed by the confirmation of the system that he got the scroll.

Without wasting time, Leo quickly/excitedly dives toward the ground, moving toward the nearest building in the distance.

"Sigh, that was dangerous." Leo wiped his imaginary sweat on his imaginary face as he emerged from the ground before directly opening his character panel to retrieve the blue scroll.

Ding!

[ Soul Shrieking (Rare) - One of the most common offensive skills of a soul, ghost, and being focused on soul power!

Activation: By focusing soul power on the host mouth before shrieking! 5 Mana points!

Learning Cost: 1,000 horror points!

Note: The power of shrieking depends on the soul power of the host! (Could control the power of "Soul Shrieking" by manipulating the amount of soul power!) ]

"Hahahaha, Isn't this the skill of that damn bird!"

Upon seeing the description of the skill, Leo immediately danced inside his head in happiness. He could never forget the feeling of his soul shivering in pain after getting hit by the skill!

It could be said that Leo suffered the most from this skill alone!

If the Soul Eating Crow didn't have this skill Leo would be quite confident that he would be on par with the crow!

Of course, it is only possible if the crow is bedridden when Leo faces it!

Laughing inside his head crazily, Leo directly chooses to learn the skill, instantly reducing his horror points by a thousand.

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon learning "Soul Shrieking (Rare)" level 1! ]

-1,000 horror points!

"Now we're talking." Sighing deeply within, upon seeing that the 1,000 horror points he risks with his life vanished into thin air like a bubble, Leo shook his head as he began to rest.

I will try the new skill later after I recover...

***

As Leo was peacefully resting in his current abode. Tens of Kilometers away from his current location, a group of shadows quickly traversing the silent forest was moving under the sight of the fissure above.

After half an hour of non-stop running, the group of shadows suddenly stopped on their track, quickly forming a formation as they warily scanned the surrounding area.

"Who is there?" A robust man holding a white heavy shield shouted at the silent forest, quickly scanning the surrounding area, ready to give protection to his group if the hidden party had malicious intent towards them.

After patiently waiting for a couple of minutes, the forest in front of them suddenly stirred as a 5.9-foot man wearing a black dark suit with a long blade on his back and a short dagger on his waist stepped forward.

Revealing his figure to the wary group.

"Shadow Assasin!?" The robust man blurted out in surprise as he warily scanned the other party up and down.

What could a shadow assassin possibly do in this place? The robust man silently thought as information about the shadow assassin appeared inside his head.

Although not much powerful, a shadow assassin is a rare class job with powerful concealing and assassination skills. He only noticed the other party's existence due to the skill that the other party used earlier.

"It's none of your concern." The Shadow assassin nonchalantly said, breaking the silence between the two parties.

Hearing the voice of the Shadow Assassin, the robust man and his group couldn't help but frown as the other party didn't place his gaze toward them.

"Formation!" The robust man commanded as he quickly raised his heavy shield toward the Shadow Assassin.

"Not our concern? You, upon arriving here are already our concern!" With a shout, the heavy shield of the robust man suddenly lights up, quickly enveloping his group with an invisible shield.

Attack!

Swish!

Upon hearing the command, a woman holding a green staff raised her hand toward the Shadow Assasin, quickly releasing an air slash that instantly flew toward the other party.

Swish!

As if like a domino effect, the people in the group quickly followed the woman and released an offensive skill toward the Shadow Assassin in the distance.

Air Wave!

Shadow Bullet!

Boom!

Surprised that the other party was quite decisive and didn't hesitate to attack, the Shadow Assassin quickly entered through the shadow, instantly concealing his presence and existence toward the group.
