Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"Yes, and you are?"

As if feeling the coldness within Leo's gray irises, causing him to feel slightly uneasy, the man hurriedly shook his head before replying.

"I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I'm Kristopher, and I came here due to the command from the mayor. He was calling all the core formation realm cultivators that helped repel those abominations."

Hearing this, Leo unfolds an understanding on his face. Although the coldness within his irises was still present, it had already reduced by a considerable amount when he gazed at the man in front.

Shooting a glance at Angelica beside him and seeing her nod her head in comprehension, Leo then faced the man in the short distance, clearing his throat before advancing toward the direction of the wooden door.

"Please lead the way."

...

Soon, after following the man for a couple of minutes, the familiar wooden house that he saw when he first arrived at the town entered his vision.

Even though they were still far away from it, Leo could already sense the instability and the dreadful aura of the wooden house releasing, ascertaining his initial guess that the old man's current realm was unstable in a good way.

Furthermore, he could feel that the wooden house began to change immaculately, becoming more solid and grandiose every second that passed by.

Of course, the wooden house still retained its previous image; it's just that the overall aura the house was unconsciously oozing was much more perfect than before...

To the point that he could faintly feel that it was being covered by imperceptible rules that he couldn't understand.

With the sunlight coming from the firmament, the wooden house glows imposingly under Leo's sight, making him pause for a while in order to appreciate its beauty.

"Let's go inside." Read new chapters at empire

Seeing the dazed look on Leo's pale complexion, the man shows a knowing look on his face before pushing the door of the wooden house, unfolding the empty space beyond that didn't contain anything.

Taking a deep breath as he quickly hides the excitement in his eyes. A product of his anticipation due to finally being able to inspect a different domain with complete rules under it...

Leo finally entered the wooden door, causing his pale figure to twist unsteadily before completely vanishing toward the void.

Following that, the wooden door releases a light sound before closing completely, as if containing consciousness on its own to know that no one would again enter its being.

...

Plop~

With a sudden sensation of weightlessness, Leo's feet hit the ground, his body shaking for a while before he finally regained his sense of balance.

With widened eyes, the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery on the far horizon immediately caught his attention. The sky, which was tainted by red, and the tendrils of ominous darkness that spread within the artificial firmament bathed him with unease.

Following that, the brown soil on the ground, covered with vibrant grasses, gave him a strange sensation that he couldn't explain. Although they looked normal under his probing, the uniqueness of his eyes still gave him a vague sensation that they contained traces of soul power.

Of course, the amount they contained was infinitely small; if he hadn't carefully sensed them, he might not have been able to notice their strangeness.

"As expected of the complete domain, it was simply beyond the capabilities of the incomplete domain. With traces of soul, they could actually support lifeforms within!'

Exclaiming within his mind, Leo's gaze soon became attracted to the small pond in the far distance.

There, he immediately saw the familiar and unfamiliar faces of the cultivators sitting at a round table and calmly gazing in his direction, as if they were waiting for their arrival for quite some time.

Even though he was quite far from them, he could feel that most of them were proving his being, surely ascertaining his depths and capabilities... Unfortunately, most of them were bound to be disappointed since his restraint skill concealed most of his aura.

Only the coldness his body was unconsciously releasing gave them faint premonitions regarding his strength within their minds.

"Leo, here!"

Seeing Leo's familiar figure approaching in the distance, Rosa immediately waves her left hand, smiling toward him before pointing at the empty chair beside her.

Seeing this, Leo lightly nodded his head as a form of greeting before finally sitting between Rosa and an unknown man. As he did so, he lightly gazed toward the haggard faces of Roland, Jake, and Sebastian beside Rosa.

With a faint flicker of his gray irises, he could sense that the group's aura was slightly unstable; however, he could feel that their overall strength was stronger when he met them earlier on the battlefield...

Causing him to feel curious about the changes and opportunities that they received on the battlefield.

Although the increase in their strength wasn't exaggerated, it was still beyond his expectations. If he guessed correctly based on their aura, their level probably increased by 2–3 in the past night.

Some of them directly step into the middle stage of the core formation realm, while most of them enter the peak early stage of the core formation realm.

"It might be related to those strange plants Rosa releases within the battlefield. Of course, I couldn't rule out the possibility that they gained something precious from the corpses of the beasts and quasi-devils.'

...

As Leo was secretly proving the other cultivators within the round table with his advanced soul strength and the specialties of his irises, the old man in the high seat suddenly coughed out loud, instantly creating a thundering sound that instantly resonated within the souls of the cultivators, causing them, including Leo, to instinctively sit straight.

"This sensation was simply monstrous!'

In an instant, after being frightened momentarily, all of the cultivators thought in unison. Feeling excited, envious, and horrified upon experiencing the trace of might that came from the mayor's body.

"Hmm, let's begin. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for protecting the town...

"Although some of those traitors abandoned the town in times of need, we still successfully defended the town from the invasion of those abominations!"
