NOVPUBAHHHH!
With a loud cry of agony, the stitched beast uncontrollably fell toward the charred ground, twitching crazily, akin to a fish being tossed to the dry earth, as he forcefully grabbed his head in pure pain.
Furthermore, the rule that was attached to his physique deactivated on its own, unfolding his battered and wounded physique to the gray irises of Leo.
"Keke~ it wasn't time for you to die yet. Your life still has uses.'

Weakly mumbling to himself, Leo took out an elite dagger from his inventory, manipulating it using his telekinetic ability before heavily slashing it toward the arms of the beast—detaching it after swinging his elite dagger a couple of times.
"Perfect... Keke~"
With a soft, chilling chuckle, capable of making anyone who accidentally heard it experience dread due to how unusual it was...
Leo grabbed the blooded arms within the atmosphere, hiding them within his inventory afterward as his pale physique slowly turned incorporeal, fusing within the atmosphere as the intense glow of life, originating from the ancient silver scale beside him, lightly grazed the being of the beast, healing its wounds slightly in the process, ensuring that the beast would be able to survive, although weakened.
Since it would be hard to find greatly injured beings right now in order to complete one of his class job requirements, Leo thinks that it would be best to change his course of action; filling his curse requirement first sounds promising considering that there are lots of core formation realm beasts and quasi-devils within the town.
Although foundation realm beasts and quasi-devils would suffice to increase his curse requirements after killing them, solely by relying on his curse skill, their ability to survive was simply doubtful!
To the point that they might not be able to last seconds when facing a Core Formation realm being!
Meaning that his effort might come in vain if they accidentally meet their demise even when he still hasn't cursed them... Since that is the case, it was better to curse a Core Formation realm being.
Although killing them by relying on his curse skill would take a lot of time, it's still better than spending effort on unreliable foundation realm beings.

"Why didn't he kill that beast?!"
Seeing this, the cultivators that managed to behold the battle in the far distance couldn't help but unfold a shocked and doubtful expression on their faces, unable to hide their confusion as they gazed at the slowly vanishing figure of Leo in slight anger.
However, after sensing the weakening life force of Leo and the intense injuries he received, in addition to the low Qi he probably currently had, the cultivators released a deep sigh of regret.
Understand that it was better for the human cultivator to retreat right now instead of risking his life in order to kill the stitched beast.
Furthermore, the human cultivator's abilities had already far exceeded their expectations; it's already good enough that he managed to greatly injure a beast cultivator relying on his middle stage of the core formation realm...
As for killing the beast, they didn't even harbor any hopes within their minds in the first place, hence causing their disappointment to easily vanish.
Boom!
Crackle~
Hurriedly shaking their heads, burying the distraction in the back of their minds, the human cultivators hurriedly stared at the beasts and quasi-devils opposite them, again continuing their momentarily postponed battle.
Again, causing the atmosphere above to be instantly filled with a dangerous and ominous aura, followed by countless techniques and skills capable of changing the very space and environment around which swiftly hurled toward their enemies, easily destroying the establishment and building on their way in the process.

Boom!
Leo, upon finally exiting the sight of the countless core formation realm beings within the atmosphere above, didn't immediately retreat toward the location of his shop in order to recover his lost Qi; instead, he quietly hid within the rooftop of a two-story-tall building in order to access the capabilities of the beasts and quasi-devils in the far distance.
Furthermore, he was also studying the skills of the human cultivator of the town, wanting to glean more information regarding their overall strength so he wouldn't be caught off guard if they suddenly became his enemies.
Hmm?
Hearing the faint, familiar voice in the west direction of the town, Leo lightly shifted his gaze toward it, making the color of his irises deepen slightly in the next second, causing his vision to be elevated by at least 250%!
"What are they doing?'
Beholding the faint silhouette of Jake, Sebastian, Roland, and Rosa hurriedly traversing the land of death, Leo couldn't help but instinctively raise his brows in pure curiosity... Standing up afterward before slowly approaching their location in order to understand their plans.
...
Huff~
"Rosa, how far are you from activating that skill?"
Deflecting the enraged attack of the quasi-devil using his thick, metallic shield, Roland couldn't help but ask Rosa behind him, unfolding a serious look on his face as a dome of light could be discerned flickering around his body.
"It's ready to activate a long time ago; it's just that... planting more would elevate the effects of my skill by quite a bit."
Weakly mumbling toward Roland, Rosa unhurriedly touched the cold ground beneath with her bloodied palm, manipulating her liquefied Qi inside her body before feeding it toward the hidden seed within the depths of the ground, instantly causing its roots to grow at an alarming rate in the process.
Shhhh~
In just 5 seconds of feeding her Qi, the thin, dark roots of the unknown plant within the depths of the earth silently spread toward the far distance, poking toward the surface of the land before absorbing the thick, crimson blood of countless corpses within...
Making its growth further elevated in the process as some of the roots began to drill toward the disfigured and dismembered physique of the beast, quietly absorbing their flesh in order to strengthen their existence.
"We are done here. Let's go to the other location."
