Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

In the blink of an eye, 2 hours chaotically passed by.

The dark sky, full of an ominous and dreadful aura, began to brighten up, turning slightly yellowish as the shadows that enveloped the encompassing land began to retreat toward the unknown side of the land.

With a warm breeze coming from the east, the coldness that lingered within the atmosphere began to vaporize at a swift speed, replaced by a thick stench of blood that hurriedly spread around.

Following that, the warm ray of sunlight starts to illuminate the land, unfolding the countless flesh and internal organs, severed limbs, thick crimson blood, and twisted corpses of the beasts and humans that scattered around the periphery of the town...

Unfolding the dreadful and nauseous scene toward the surviving cultivators above.

Causing them to sense an inexplicable sign of relief and dread within their beings... Lowering their heads afterward as they couldn't help but remember their comrades who died within the maw of the beasts and quasi-devils earlier.

Tick- Tick- (sound of liquefied droplets.)

In the distance, seeing the grand scene of thousands of corpses and those crimson flowers that continuously grow from their orifices, swaying with the warm breeze, Leo couldn't help but smile twistedly, holding a detached head that originated from the quasi-devil in satisfaction before shifting his gaze toward the depths of his being.

Gazing at his stabilizing core in pure happiness... further deepening his twisted smile in the process.

Ding!

[ Congratulations on killing a Core Formation realm beast at the late stage!

+3,527 exp points!

+15,000 horror points! ]

Ding!

[ Congratulations on upgrading to level 10!

+10 Soul power and Qi power!

+6 Speed and Strength! ]

...

"Keke~ leveling to level 10 and at the same time solidifying my foundation; it's indeed much more stable to rely on killing beasts in order to elevate one's level."

Mumbling under his breath, Leo dispelled his activated skills before hiding the corpse of the core formation realm quasi-devil within his inventory, almost filling the space in the process.

Still not done, understanding that he couldn't simply waste the corpse on the ground, the pale figure of Leo began to descend downward, staring at the corpses scattered around before choosing some limbs and corpses that he deemed useful...

Akin to a man shopping for his game set.

Beholding this, the exhausted cultivators around couldn't help but stare at him strangely.

Although Leo's action could be seen as smart, seeing him casually touching flesh and internal organs with his bare hands evokes a nauseous sensation in their stomachs, making the cultivators instinctively distance themselves from his location.

Thinking that Leo was currently mentally...

Swish~

"Huff~ Leo, do you know that we were finding you within the battlefields for quite a while?"

As Leo was busy inspecting the goods on the ground, the exhausted figure of Jake appeared within his peripheral vision, causing Leo to stop in his tracks before casting his gaze toward the approaching figure.

"It was to be expected; I never deactivated my invisibility skill when the battle started. With my capabilities, it was better to sneak attack those occupied beasts, allowing me to help the others gain a slight advantage."

Pausing for a while as he hid one of the large intestines of the beast within his inventory, Leo continued.

"Other than that, I could easily kill those foundation beasts and quasi-devils without gaining the attention of those who reach the core formation realm, hence lowering the casualties by a considerable amount."

Hearing this, Jake's expression couldn't help but become stunned, never expecting that Leo was much more considerate than he had expected.

With his impression of Leo in the past, he expected that the latter would only kill beasts and quasi-devils to reap benefits, not caring about the well-being of the strangers around him.

...

Feeling that he was judging Leo too much, Jake hurriedly shook his head before staring at Leo's bloodied hands.

"Huff~ Well, I actually came here to ask if you still have potions that could speed up the natural recovery of health, stamina, and Qi. If you still have them, I want to exchange them for some skill scrolls and items that we reap within the battlefield."

Pausing in his tracks, Leo's gray irises couldn't help but widen, staring at the scattered corpse on the ground before loudly cursing in his mind.

"Wait, why didn't I see skill scrolls and items emerging from the bodies of the beasts that I killed?

"D*mn Jinx skill!!!"

Although the probability of the beasts and quasi-devils dropping skill scrolls and items was infinitely small, there should still be one appearing from the countless beasts he killed...

Yet, after a couple of hours of killing and roaming around, he still hadn't seen one! To the point that he had almost forgotten about their existence!

"This f*cking Jinx, I knew that I shouldn't have upgraded it to level 6! Not only that it didn't help me acquire the flesh of the Nascent Soul realm beast, but it also reduced my luck by quite an amount!"

Huff~

Taking a deep, long breath and calming his ranging thoughts down, Leo unhurriedly shifted his gaze toward the expectant Jake, taking out dozens of potions within his inventory before tossing them toward the latter.

Beholding this, the smile on Jake's face couldn't help but widen, carefully catching the bottles one by one before hiding them within the void.

After he was done, he immediately plunged his right hand toward the void, taking out a number of flickering scrolls within, ranging from gray to purple, before showing them to Leo with a mixture of satisfaction and regret.

"This... are you sure you wanted to trade those epic scrolls?"

Staring at the three scrolls, flickering with mild purple starlight within the hands of Jake, Leo's brows couldn't help but raise, staring at the eyes of the latter for confirmation.

"It's fine, those epic skills were not suitable for me; it would only waste my skill points if I learned them."

Unfolding regret within his eyes, Jake again continued.

"With your 26 potions, I could at least trade 1 epic and 3 normal-rare scrolls to you."

"I see..."

Nodding his head in understanding, Leo immediately began to browse from the dozens of scrolls within Jake's hands, prioritizing the epic skills first as he began to check their descriptions carefully.
