Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Power: from Level 1 to Level 5, there’s also one big fellow - the Death Harbinger Raven’s Aura Concealment skill, which in Wen Yu’s eyes is full of flaws.

After a while, Wen Yu’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

The fishing operation, turned out to be unexpectedly smooth...

...

Like a non-mutated little Crow, the petite body of the Death Harbinger Raven soared in mid-air, carefully surveying the prey below.

That’s right, the prey—sporadically scattered corpses on the ground, not nearly enough to fill itself and its subordinates.

However, the more the Death Harbinger Raven observed, the more it sensed the prey’s ”bizarre” nature—no fear that prey usually shows when hunted. That Human just quietly stood there, while the three petite animals around were playing and frolicking, perfectly carefree. This group of prey showed no fear of its tribe.

The cawing around grew louder—a double effect, exerting psychological pressure on the three prey below while also indirectly threatening their king!

We are hungry, hurry up and order the attack.

Feeling the will of the entire tribe, the Death Harbinger Raven couldn’t help but smile ruefully—being a leader is not easy...

Yet, while its kind may be foolish, the Death Harbinger Raven itself was not. The more it watched, the more the prey seemed unusual.

Until the standing Human slowly raised their right hand.

With a ”whoosh,” the Death Harbinger Raven’s figure vanished from its spot.

...

”Truly cautious.”

Seeing the Crow flock in the sky only making noise without any intent to act, Wen Yu was becoming somewhat impatient.

The leader of this Crow flock was unexpectedly shrewd. It saw through Wen Yu’s distinction, even as the flock grew restless, it showed no intention of proceeding beyond orders from the divine beast species.

It wanted more probing to figure out what kind of individual Wen Yu really was, but Wen Yu didn’t want to wait any longer.

Communicating briefly with Victor in his mind, a simple bird-catching operation was already underway.

”Meow.”

A gentle cat’s meow sounded, as Victor slowly raised his head, locking onto the target marked by his boss in the sky.

The power of the Netherworld surged out, and the next moment, it enveloped the body of the Crow flock leader.

Watching the little bird that was freely soaring suddenly stall mid-flight, and vanish in the next moment, Wen Yu immediately felt a lively little creature in his palm.

”Caw... Caw...”

Just like a non-mutated little Crow chick, this divine beast species was ”vigorously” struggling in Wen Yu’s hand—the force was so small it was incredible.

”Turns out, you’re quite the little drama queen.”

Wen Yu mocked, then exerted force in his hand, giving a gentle squeeze.

”Caw...”

The piercing cry grew louder, and hearing it reverberating around his ears, Wen Yu couldn’t help but frown.

Bringing the little Crow in his hand up to his face, Wen Yu stared into the pair of jet-black, lively little eyes, uttering nonchalantly in English: ”Speak human language, or I’ll squeeze you to death.”

Then he extended his left hand to the Death Harbinger Raven, flicking lightly with his fingers.

”Boom.”

The well-measured impact struck the Death Harbinger Raven’s forehead, causing its eyes to spin uncontrollably—force that would reduce a normal young Crow to fragments, but for a Peak Level 5 divine beast species, was merely a reminder.

”Stop pretending, I’ve seen through everything...”

The look and actions conveyed about that message.

Recognizing the ”irresistible force” around its body, the Death Harbinger Raven, with its head muddled from being flicked, quickly realized the situation, decisively confessing.

”Big brother, misunderstanding, I was just passing by.”

A pitiful little gaze, coupled with fluent English, almost convinced Wen Yu...

...

Which goes to show, communication is paramount.

For intelligent creatures, communication is surely a vital action to avoid trouble!

Just like now.

Communication allowed the Death Harbinger Raven to gain a temporary reprieve, further enabling Wen Yu to avert a wholly meaningless slaughter.

”Tell your subordinates to get lost, I’ve got questions for you.”

A simple request, given that the Human in front of it held its small frame, and the sporadic strength emanating from above sealed all its life’s paths, the Death Harbinger Raven agreed without hesitation.

”Caw... Caw...”

The Death Harbinger Raven shrieked twice, concurrently releasing a fierce Spiritual Fluctuation, causing the circling Crow flock above to immediately become restless.

After a brief chaos, the divine beast species’ deterrence ultimately overcame the desire for food, watching the black cloud above slowly drift further away, Wen Yu promptly walked back to the stove and picked up a piece of well-cooked lamb.

”Well done, here’s your reward.”

The Death Harbinger Raven immediately wore a face of grievance, divine beast species dignity scattered all over the ground.

...

”Are those all your subordinates? From what I see, they’re not very strong, but the display is quite grand.”

After the Death Harbinger Raven dispersed the Crow flock, Wen Yu returned to the stove and currently carried on a leisurely interrogation of the Crow in front.

”Of course, big or small, I’m still a divine beast species.”

The little Crow upfront was full of pride, seeing Wen Yu’s indifferent manner, its pair of jet-black small eyes twirled, and taking advantage of Wen Yu’s ”distraction,” snatched a piece of lamb, swallowing it whole.
