Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Soon, after a quarter of an hour.

Leo released a cold sneer as he hurriedly opened his eyes. In just a few minutes of waiting, he felt that nine out of the dozens of mortal puppets he released met their demise—being destroyed by an unknown force hidden deep within the different sections of the cavern.

Of those 9, four of them died in different directions, while the other three and two simultaneously died in the opposite direction.

Based on his calculation and how those four puppets emit a cry for help before being destroyed, there's a low chance that they met that hateful beast.

As for the three and the two puppets that died simultaneously in different directions, they didn't send a mental message through their faint connection, meaning that they died before they could have reacted.

"Skeleton #2, go to the left direction where the two puppets died; if you meet that hateful beast, do your best to hold it for a couple of minutes."

Clank- (Then master, what if it wasn't the hateful beast?)

Hearing this, Leo coldly stared at Skeleton #2, revealing a smile afterward before replying.

"Then it only means that it was a beast at the core formation realm. With their usual behavior, there's a good chance that it was protecting a spiritual plant in the 2nd to 3rd grade.

"You can kill it and find the spiritual fruits. Then wait for me till I finish hunting that hateful beast."

Without waiting for the silver skeleton to digest the information he said, Leo immediately activated his movement skill, instantly summoning a faint glow on his soles as the sensation of weightlessness engulfed his physique.

With killing intent perceptible emitting on his pale physique, Leo's figure suddenly vanishes in his current location.

Destructive gales containing hatred and killing intent gush around every time he advances... Destroying the serenity of the place as the pitch-black water beneath began to surge toward the encompassing of the dilapidated land, grinding the floating bones into powder in the process.

Soon, after traversing the narrow cave for more than a minute, approaching the cavern where the three mortal puppets lost their connection...

Leo suddenly halted, retracting his killing intent toward the depths of his consciousness before activating his invisibility skill.

If he could ambush the other party and greatly injure it before it could notice his presence, then it would drastically increase his chance of winning without being subjected to unnecessary risk.

Although this form of combat might make others hate him, it was still better than being greatly injured or dying just to bring down his enemy while maintaining the unimportant ego!

"What ego? It couldn't even increase my strength and safety!"

In an instant, after activating his invisibility skill, Leo's physique suddenly turned incorporeal, hiding any fluctuation of spiritual qi and life aura that could pinpoint his exact location before his being completely vanished in the face of the stalactites above.

Still not done, Leo also readied his soul-bound weapon and took out a number of potion bottles within his inventory that were related to basic recovery before drinking them, ensuring a prolonged fight without running out of mental energy, spiritual qi, and stamina in the midst of battle.

...

In a place abandoned by light, a heavy pressure descended from the sky, sweeping to Leo's imperceptible being as the sensation of being restricted emerged within his mind.

It was akin to being submerged in thick water, hindering his movement by at least 10%.

"This."

Surprised about the sudden event, Leo instinctively steps back, raising his head warily as he sweeps his gaze toward the far clearing of the dark cavern.

Your next read awaits at empire

In an instant, the scenery of a huge mountain purely made from countless rotting bones entered his dumbfounded senses, making Leo's gaze darken by amount as fear couldn't help but instinctively rise within his heart.

Even without inspecting them, he knew that the bones came from countless human corpses—a scary thought considering that he had no idea how many humans were sacrificed and slain in order to form that kind of mountain.

In addition to the countless bones that were scattered around inside this damn forbidden pit, at least hundreds of millions, or probably billions, of human corpses are needed in order to create this kind of hellish environment...

Making him gulf in fear upon imagining what kind of existence is capable of doing that.

On top of the mountain, Leo could faintly see a number of golden chains that were covered in dark moss, tightly coiling around the limbs of the thin, humanoid gigantic corpse above, causing the unknown corpse to become suspended mid-air—often swaying if a breeze grazed its being and releasing a soulful cry if it happened so.

Surprisingly on the foot of the mountain, at least hundreds of meters away from Leo's location, where debris of puppet materials lifelessly scattered around, a strange stitched flesh, covered in wounds and lacking a lower body, was ferociously facing a blob of flesh opposite it.

Dark blood oozed from its wounded physique as its countless limbs that were akin to sharp spears created an explosive sound within the atmosphere, twisting violently mid-air as it threateningly hurled toward the blob of flesh opposite it.

However, probably due to the suppression that was imperceptible hindering their movement, the attack of the strange stitched flesh was rigid and slow, giving the blob of flesh an opportunity to evade in time.

"Keke~ Found you!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing this, Leo didn't immediately attack; instead, he retracted his malicious intent deep within his consciousness as he slowly approached their location.

Although he couldn't wait to dissect that hateful beast, Leo still forcefully calmed down his chaotic thoughts as he couldn't help but become doubtful and confused regarding the scene occurring in the front.

Based on his observation, the two hateful beasts in the distance were of the same origin; the smell of their being and the color of their souls were extremely similar to the lifeform opposite them, yet they were fighting each other with dense killing intent...

Clearly hellbent on killing each other!

"Is this a trap... or was it the strange effect of my curse?

"I couldn't exclude the probability that it was related to the strange corpse above the mountain."
