Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!
Chapter 44: Baited by Feline.

After pondering for a while, Leo nodded slightly.

"Two minutes is already good, It wouldn't take me that long to retrieve those corpses."

"Good, then it's decided then," Roland replied as he coughed slightly. Closing his eyes, Roland did some quick hand motions, releasing an intense fluctuation of mana in the surroundings before eventually pointing his hand toward Leo.

Shield Guarding...

Swish...

In an instant after finishing the hand symbol, the hand of Roland glowed with intense pure blue light before quickly vanishing toward Leo's body.

Ding!

[ Sheild Guarding (1:59)- A skill that was almost comparable to a blessing. It's a divine shield technique that grows with the realm of the caster.

Effect 1: Could withstand the attacks of the Peak- Foundation realm for a while...

Effect 2: Boost the overall stats by 5% for the duration of the skill!

Note: Don't worry Daddy got you. ]

This...

In an instant, the feeling of his strength being increased by a lot suddenly put Leo in euphoria. Although it is only a 5% increase, with his current stats that were more than 200 points overall, Leo could feel that he almost has the strength that could rival an Early Foundation realm beast.

"With the shield that could withstand Peak Foundation beast, It is no wonder they trust him very much."

...

"Thanks."

Feeling assured of his safety upon seeing the effect of the skill. Leo took a deep long breath as he immediately made his way toward the door of the building.

Not wasting time, Leo nodded toward Jake and Roland as he opened the door slightly, only enough for his body to move outside.

Two minutes at most, the farthest corpse of the crow is at most 80-90 meters away from the building... Not to mention that it would take a while to move them toward my inventory.

Dashing toward the nearest corpse of the crow, Leo cautiously stared at the surrounding building and at the sky to ensure that there were no monsters in his sight.

In a short instant, Leo instantly touched the nearest black crow on the ground as he eyed the surroundings to ensure that he would not miss the possible drops.

After 8 seconds.

Ding!

[ Acquired 1 Early Foundation Corpse... ]

Seeing the corpse vanish in front of him, Leo didn't stop to read the notification that appeared as he immediately dashed toward the nearest corpse in the distance.

Due to his speed attributes already reaching 52 points, Leo could travel at 35 - 50 meters/second at his top speed (Depending on the terrain) causing him to instantly reach the next corpse.

Still no drops?

Leo sighed in disappointment as he lightly touched the broken dark wings of the crow...

Touching the seemingly metallic dark feather of the deceased crow while waiting for his system to put the body in his inventory, Leo's eyes couldn't help but reveal a flash of excitement as he gazes at the feather in fascination.

Indeed, this corpse is perfect for me to create my first puppet!

Leo excitedly mumbled under his breath as he patiently waited for the body to disappear, soon after waiting for nearly 10 seconds, the sound of notification finally rang inside his consciousness...

Ding!

[Acquired 1 Early Foundation Corpse... ]

3 to go...

...

Soon, in just a short span of 50 seconds, Leo already picked up the 3 corpses of the crows. Currently, he was only waiting for the 4th corpse to enter his inventory before planning to rush toward the 5th corpse in the distance before going back to the building.

With still having a minute on his shield before vanishing, Leo was quite confident that there wouldn't be any accidents that would occur after retrieving the 5th corpse.

"Unfortunately, I didn't replace any drops, it would be good to get some free spoils in the process..."

Ding!

[Acquired 1 Early Foundation Corpse... ]

Swish!

Not bothering to look at the notification, Leo instantly rushed toward the distance upon seeing the crow vanish in front of him.

"Hmm? It is much larger than the deceased crows earlier..."

Upon reaching the side of the crow, Leo immediately notices the difference between this crow compared to earlier corpse. Not only does its wingspan reach 8 meters in length, but even its feathers reveal a hint of red luster hidden by its black color.

If not for him being close to it, he would probably not notice it.

"It's probably a Mid-Foundation level beast before it died..." Leo took a deep breath as his eyes gleamed with an excited look.

Touching the body of the crow, Leo's eyes began to wander around the surrounding area to see if there were drops.

Still none? Are drops really so rare?

As Leo was about to shake his head in disappointment, when suddenly his eyes caught the glint of the purple scroll hidden in the corner of the building meters away from the corpse of the crow.

This...

If the scroll hadn't coincidentally flashed with weak purple light when his head turned toward its direction, Leo probably would missed it out.

"That was a purple scroll! A purple scroll!"

Leo's eyes shined brightly as he stared at the purple scroll in the distance with greediness.

Based on his knowledge of the classification of the scrolls.

Gray Scroll is considered a (Common grade), Pure White (Uncommon grade), Green is an (Elite grade), above Green, is Blue (Rare grade), and Purple should be an (Epic grade)!

What is an Epic skill?

Although Leo has no idea about the price of the purple scroll, based on his current skill, he still hasn't managed to get one!

As for his Skills that came from his skill tree, Leo didn't bother to think since all of them were ungraded...

I need to get that scroll!

Ding!

[ Acquired 1 Middle Foundation Corpse... ]

After seeing the mid-foundation crow vanish in front of him, the burning greed within him couldn't contain anymore as he immediately darted toward the purple scroll in the distance.

Swish!

Stretching his hand to get the purple scroll on the ground, Leo was about to shout in excitement when suddenly, in the corner of his eyes, he saw the shadow of the building suddenly twisted intensely as a two-meter-tall feline silently stepped out from it.

Its eyes, concealing the cunning look within it, directly stared at him playfully.

Not good!

Bang!
