Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Grrrr...

Click, click!

ROOaarr!!

Different kinds of roars echoed in the almost enclosed cavern as the beast created a rhythmic sound of footsteps as they charged toward the demon vine aggressively.

Thud, thud, thud! (Sounds of footsteps.)

Some of the beasts upon reaching their desired distance immediately halt their advancing before hastily casting all their skills toward the Demon Vine...

Boom! Swish!

Spitting acid, fireball, electric shock, and different kinds of spells began to bombard the vine, causing it to twist its vine in pure agony...

Still not done, beasts that focus on close combat began to bite, slash, and claw the wooden body of the demon vine, enlarging its wound in the process.

Although some of the beasts were caught in the middle of the bombardment of spells by the beasts behind them, the beasts close to the Demon Vine never wavered, on the contrary, they continued wounding the Demon Vine's body even if they were greatly injured...

Dying while giving their best to injure the beast.

Ding!

...

Leo didn't give a glance at the notification that appeared in the corner of his sight nor did he smile for a bit after the successful cueing, instead he just continued staring at the distance solemnly.

His back was drenched in sweat and his eyes slowly turned bloodshot, on his forehead, a visible throbbing vein could be seen...

"I... could only hold for a while. This headache..." Leo mumbled silently, feeling his head turning heavy and dizzy.

Although the demon vine was slowly accumulating injuries, the beasts entering the cave were slowly decreasing. Although their number was still large, sooner or later, it was bound to stop.

"Leo, are you okay?" Kristine, seeing the sweat on Leo's forehead, couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Due to the thick fog hindering their vision, the group didn't see the strange thing happening in the distance nor realize that there were some changes in Leo's fog...

Although the fog seemed much thicker compared to earlier, the group didn't think too much of it.

"Huff~ I'm fine, I'm just slightly mentally tired..." Leo spoke weakly as he planted cues in some of the beast's head.

After planting some cues on the beast's head, Leo tilted his head, looking at the group that was casually casting spells toward the sound of the battle mindlessly.

Slowly accumulating exp points every casting of spell...

...

Ehh, this...

As Leo was about to continue manipulating the hallucinations. In the corner of his eye, he noticed that near his feet, a small brown root slowly broke from the ground, then before expanding forward rapidly...

F*ck! What is this!?

Slightly frightened, Leo was about to destroy the root when suddenly, behind him, Rosa with half-closed eyes stared at him intently before telling him that it was a spell of hers.

Swish...

In the blink of an eye, around the cavern, a small root broke from the ground one by one, then slowly growing as time passed by... After a minute of growing, the root began to grow leaves and flowers after a while.

Endless Flower, Death of the Ground...

Rosa mumbled under her breath before opening her eyes abruptly as she gently held her staff... Her heaving chest speaks loudly about how hard it was to cast this spell.

Although Leo has no idea about the effect of the spell, with how long it takes for Rosa to cast this spell, it should be quite amazing... right?

As Leo was about to ask Rosa about the effect of the flower, a sudden loud boom in the distance caught his attention, followed by a notification appearing in his line of sight.

Boom!

Ding!

...

How comfortable...

Leo thought upon feeling that his headache alleviated slightly, followed by comfortable energy flowing within his body brought by leveling up.

Pondering slightly, Leo decided to put all of his free attribute points toward his strength, instantly making his strength into 120!

Bang!

Clenching his fist, Leo excitedly punched the ground, instantly causing a fist mark to appear beneath him, caving the soil below.

This! This is what you called strength! Hahaha!

Leo smiled contently before watching the unfolding chaos in the distance with great interest... Feeling that the Demon Vine's death is already set since it was slowly accumulating grievous injuries as time passed by.

Although it had an amazing recovery, with dozens of beasts dealing damage toward it...

Its high-speed recovery couldn't keep up with the pace of the injury it took every second!

***

Trashed... Trashing!

The trashing of the vines in the distance began to become heavy but lacked the necessary force to deal sufficient damage to the beasts encircling it.

If the Demon Vine had consciousness, then it probably already entered the so-called "Mental exhaustion" with its current condition, causing its vine to lack the agility it had earlier.

Swish! Thud!!

Somehow, as if feeling that it would die if it didn't change the situation around.

The Demon Vine immediately retracted its vines from the surrounding area before wrapping them tightly one by one toward its body, creating a huge ball of roots and vines in the end...

Swish!

Throb... Throb...

In an instant after wrapping its body.

Inside the tightly wrapped vines, a loud throbbing sound began to reverberate, forming a sound wave as it traveled inside the almost enclosed cavern unhindered.

Splack...

Thud...

Upon hearing the throbbing sound... All of the beast's blood boiled followed by their eardrums rupturing in unison, dyeing their ears with blood.

Some of the weak beasts below the Mid-Foundation realm (Level 5 below) instantly died due to their brain turning into mush.

"Ugh!"

Ding!

...

At the same time, due to their distance from the Demon Vine, the group only suffered mild dizziness and headache, causing them to groan uncomfortably.
