Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 65: To the Southeast! Underground Cave (1).

Augh...

Jake groaned in pain as he forcefully opened his eyes, the feeling of his body as if it had been beaten up for hours made his eyes tear up.

"waterr... I need water..."

He whispered in a raspy tone, feeling his throat burn due to dryness.

"You're finally awake?" Leo retracted his Divine Life of Fire on Jake's body as he took out a water bottle from his inventory.

Lifting Jake's head carefully, Leo assists him in drinking water. Carefully tilting the bottle to prevent Jake from being choked.

"Huff~ much better." Jake sighed comfortably, feeling the itchiness of his throat subside.

Finally slightly at ease, having time to think again, the face of Jake suddenly turned ugly upon remembering the events that happened earlier.

The feeling of being burned alive by acid, being chased like a rat, and being tossed around like a toy makes his eyes release an uncontrollable amount of killing intent.

"Did... those Forest Centipedes all die?" Jake asks Leo beside him, concealing the hate within. His eyes release a dark glint, causing Leo to feel uncomfortable as he unconsciously avoids the gaze of Jake.

"... Yes," Leo replied weakly, not knowing what emotion should he show. (Normal for humans who feel guilty but don't want to show it).

Not waiting for Jake to reply and also feeling guilty, Leo took out 3 bottles of a seemingly Mud Essence of Forest Centipede in his inventory before giving it to Leo.

"This is the essence of the Forest Centipede, It's much more advanced and rare than a zombie and feline essence."

"I see thanks..."

Jake received the bottle in slight happiness before again completely silent. Beside him, after giving the essence, Leo stayed still, also falling into deep silence.

( '-' )Jake.

( '-' )Leo.

...

"Do you need anything?"

"Ohh, right, I almost forgot about that... Roland wants to know where the general direction of the centipedes was when you first detected it."

As the group was about to continue their journey, the bushes at the short distance (10 meters away from them) suddenly moved and shook violently, making the group instantly become wary.

This...

"Jake!"

Roland shouted loudly as he stared at Jake sternly.

As the only one who had the ability/skill to detect the life force of beings in the surroundings. Since Jake didn't inform them of this one, Roland assumed that Jake let his guard down.

Although he might appear extra stern right now, Roland thinks that this was necessary since they almost died earlier due to not being cautious enough.

"This... My detection skill was always active, yet there are no signs of beings approaching our location."

Facing the stern look of Roland, Jake could only shake his head helplessly since his skill really didn't detect any beings around them.

Getting ready for a fight, the group watches the bushes in the distance warily, still feeling quite tense due to the fight yesterday.

"Wait... Why not cast spells and catch the other party off guard?" Feeling the tense aura emitted by the group, Leo couldn't help but voice out.

"Ehh, It makes sense, but what if it was a human being?" Hearing Leo beside her, Rosa couldn't help but become stunned. Wondering why she never thinks of it.

"Then we should really bombard it with spells since it's weird for a human to hide in a bush," Leo suggests as his eyes radiate with wisdom.

Looking at the bush in the distance that suddenly stops moving at one point upon hearing Leo's suggestion.

"This..." The group suddenly wasn't in the mood to fight.

...

Clank... Clank... ( What did this group expect from the heartless Summoner?)

Knowing how heartless his summoner was, Skeleton #1 isn't really that surprised that the heartless summoner could come up with malicious and disgusting idea.

Besides that who would suddenly kill someone (Other than the heartless summoner) without knowing whether the other party has malicious thoughts about you or not?

Clank... (We should not let the heartless summoner live for long.)
