Jake wiped the corner of his mouth before taking a water bottle from his inventory, not forgetting to cast an angry and disbelieving look toward Leo before washing his mouth with water.
After a mouthful of water, Jake was about to curse and scold Leo when suddenly the expression on his face contorted as a familiar seemingly tingling sensation passed through his body, causing his expression to instantly turn dark.
"This is bad..."
Caw!
Just as he was about to notify his group about the feeling that something/someone was approaching their location at an rming rate... When suddenly out of nowhere, cries of dozens of birds resounded from the far sky in the distance.
Feeling that his soul shiver slightly after hearing the cries of the birds, Leo immediately raised his head toward the horizon in horror.
In an instant, Leo saw ck dots of dozens of birds in the distance, pping their ck long wings toward their general direction.
Although the birds were still hundreds of meters away from them, the familiar deep feeling of danger and horror within his soul reminded him of the particr hateful bird from the past.
"Soul Eating Crow!"
"Soul Eating Crow..."
Leo and Rnd unisonly said with grave and serious expression. Exchanging with a deep look, Rnd quickly turned around beforemanding his group.
"Quickly hide toward the building!"
"Choose the high building and quickly hide within!"
Scrambling around, Leo closely followed the rushing group toward the 7th-story tall building in the short distance. Quickly entering inside, the group instantly shut the door and window up, nketing the surroundings in weak darkness (Only enough for them to see in a short distance).
Caw!
Caw...
Screech!
As the second passed by, as they held their breath in anxiousness, the sound of the cries of the bird magnified by amount, causing the expression of the group to contort in pain...
Ding!
-0.1 health.
"Don''t make noise, just bear with the pain."
"Sooner orter, after they didn''t find the target they will immediately go away..."
Rnd said in a hushed tone as he stared at the concrete above him with a dark expression.
Damn Soul Eating Birds!
If not for their huge number, the ability to fly, and could attack from a long distance Rnd would probably fight them off.
Not only that, the thing that they hate the most about this "Soul Eating Crow" is their ability to directly attack the soul of the target! Causing his shield and defense to be useless!
In addition, their soul damage can also increase and stack if they release it unisonly toward the target!
Caw!!!
Screech!
Flying high above the ground, the dozens of "Soul Eating Crows" while pping their dark wings that expanse at least 3-4 meters wide, gaze toward the buildings in the ground in confusion...
Caw?
CAW! Caw!
Screech... Caw!
Not seeing their initial target, the Soul Eating Crow''s unison cried as they unisonly opened their sharp beak widely... nketing the surroundings in silence.
...
Leo and the group who was hiding in one of the buildings suddenly felt/heard the silence above them as the feeling of great danger instantly gripped their heart.
In particr, Leo''s dark brown eyes instantly constricted as a terrifying guess appeared on his head. Due to his having a "Soul Screeching" skill, Leo was extremely familiar with how it works...
"COVER your ears, QUICKLY!" Leo almost shouted as he hurriedly said to the group before covering his ears with two hands and bending to his knees... Increasing the distance toward the sky.
Surprised at Leo''s outburst, the group didn''t ask him for the reason as they quickly followed Leo''s action, directly slumping to the ground while covering their ears...
As soon as they all covered their ears... Above the sky, the dozens of dark crows in unison, let out an extremely loud screeching sound to the point that it was almost inaudible...
CAWWW!
CAWWW!!
Augh!
Thud...
The group let out an inaudible cry of pain as they slumped to the ground, squirming to the extreme. Their orifices, especially their mouth, ears, and eyes began to bleed, slightly dyeing the floor with thick crimson-red blood... The feeling of their brain and soul being squished by the sound hit them so hard!
After squirming for a while, one of the people from the groupy unconscious on the ground, not able to handle the stabbing pain in his soul. Although the group saw the pathetic figure of their groupmate, they couldn''t do anything due to the immense pain...
They are also fighting not to fall unconscious!
After tens of seconds of indescribable cry from above, the Soul Eating Crow suddenly paused as they scanned the ground for any sign of living beings...
Augh... Did it finally end?
Leo opened his eyes in pain as he scanned the contorting expression of the group, due to the blood, Leo''s eyes could only see 2-3 meters away from him...
Sighing deeply, feeling that the cmity finally passed by, Leo was about to stand up when suddenly the hair in his body suddenly stood up...
Followed by the deep chills settling on his soul.
CAAAAWWWWW!!!
CAWWW!
Thud... Thud!
Caught off guard by the second loud screech of the crows in the sky. Leo and the group immediately fell toward the ground and began to squirm in pain.
Like a thousand of thin needles stabbing deep within their bodies... The pores in their body began to excrete blood. Further dyeing the ground with blood.
Augh!!
Roy, the child, not able to bear the pain of the second screech of the crow, directly fell unconscious... Followed by Kristine and another one...
Soon, In a short span of ten seconds. 7 out of 10 people directlyy unconscious on the cold ground as their bodies sometimes spasm...
"Damn ck Bird! Sooner orter I would exterminate your race!" Leo after mumbling those words weakly, finally sumbed to pain before directly falling unconscious to the cold floor.
...
Meow?
The white cat, seemingly unaffected by anything, approaches the unconscious child, licking its face in concern.
Meow?
Seeing that the child didn''t respond, the gray irises of the cat revealed a cold glint as it looked at the concrete above, as if its eyes could see what was happening outside.
