Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"Dammit!"

Sensing the plan of the hateful beast, the eyes of the lower body and Leo couldn't help but simultaneously expand in anxiousness...

Causing the former's lower physique to instantly generate another pair of legs as it tried to intercept the advancing main body above.

Although the plan of the main body was full of risk and uncertainty, as a lower body, he wouldn't easily let its main body gain an opportunity to turn the table around.

He couldn't let the main body succeed in approaching the heavenly corpse above and gain the opportunity to assimilate its flesh toward its being!

Swish~

As for Leo, when he sensed the strange movement of the hateful being (Upper Body) above earlier, he already started advancing at his full speed.

Instantly covering a distance of 50 meters per second, as intense gale materializes around him in the process.

Soon, after stepping toward the foot of the bone mountain, Leo's speed suddenly dropped, turning to 45 meters per second as the imperceptible pressure hindering his movement became more defined and pronounced.

Furthermore, he could also sense that his divine senses were actually being restrained by an unknown force, causing its area of coverage to decrease by at least 5%!

"This, it increased again?!"

After the distance between him and the unknown hanging corpse above the bone mountain was reduced by a considerable amount, the pressure Leo was experiencing again magnified!

Making his overall speed decrease by another 5 meters per second as his body couldn't help but stagger slightly due to being caught off guard by the sudden increase of the weight he was bearing.

In addition to that, his soul also felt slightly stiff, as if it was being submerged in the depths of the cold ocean— giving him the uncomfortable sensation of being imprisoned.

"A pressure that was affecting the overall aspect of life?

"Moreover, after being submerged in pressure for a short period, I could faintly feel that my foundation strengthened by a small amount."

Feeling the subtle changes happening within his being, Leo couldn't help but slow down, closing his eyes afterward as his divine sense delved toward his stabilizing foundation.

Although the speed of his foundation strengthening was extremely faint, to the point of almost being non-existent, it still gave Leo a great surprise...

Causing him to momentarily forget about the existence of the two hateful beings above.

If he cultivated in his current location for quite some time, he was sure that the current problem he was facing due to his unstable foundation would be solved in just a month, allowing him to finally advance toward the late stage of the core formation realm safely... without being plagued by problems regarding the unstable foundation.

"The effects should be much stronger above the mountain."

Raising his head, Leo immediately noticed that the distance between the two flesh had grown by at least 100 meters at some point... As for him, he was still away from them by at least 250 meters.

Although the distance between them was visibly growing due to him deliberately slowing down, Leo, under the veil of his invisibility skill, didn't show any kind of panic on his face.

He had noticed that the speed of the two abominations began to drop by a staggering amount every time they advanced by a hundred meters.

Just now, the speed of the two became as slow as an advancing turtle under the increasing pressure, only allowing them to cover a distance of 4-5 meters per second.

With the height of Bone Mountain, which easily reaches 9 to 10 thousand meters, it would probably take them a couple of days, weeks, or even months in order to reach the top...

Making Leo reveal a wicked smile on his pale face considering that his debuff passive skills that he had previously spread had already started to thicken and drill toward the beings of the two—slowly accumulating as time passed by.

"I wonder who would come first—their death or reaching the top of the bone mountain?

"Keke~ Isn't this the best outcome? They would surely suffer from the torture of my debuffed passive skills before finally dying... on my hands."

Retracting his gaze from above, Leo began to advance at a leisurely pace, opening his character panel as he began to ponder what kind of skills he should fuse.

After a couple of days of cooling down, the ancient cauldron (fusion feature) had already recovered.

Its dark and exquisite surface gave a profound feeling of containing countless Dao's as it silently flickered with metallic glow inside the system as if waiting for skills to enter its interior before forcefully fusing them into something much more useful.

"I should try fusing two rare skills and see if they could become an Epic skill."

At the same time, as Leo was busy with his thoughts...

Far away from his current location, the figure of Skeleton #2 could be seen facing a rotting humanoid beast opposite it.

The beast's face only retains some of its flesh, exposing a huge area of its skeletal structure and two fiery eyes toward the silver skeleton.

Furthermore, its rotting physique was completely covered with various sizes of rotting holes.

If someone with discerning eyes stared at them for a couple of seconds, they would instantly sense that the holes were slowly moving, expanding and contracting as if the holes were breathing, and see the countless dark parasites, akin to tapeworms munching on them.

Clank- (You're not the hateful beast.)

Unfolding a great disappointment in its burning eyes, Skeleton #2 unhurriedly unsheathed the bone sword hidden within its soul—revealing a bone sword devoid of impurities with a surface akin to the Milky Way.

In an instant, a sharp intent, containing coldness that was capable of freezing souls, spread toward the far distance...

Causing the rotting beast tens of meters away to immediately release a grotesque cry of discomfort upon being accidentally grazed by the sword intent of Skeleton #2.

Clank- (I hope you don't disappoint me, or else my master will also become disappointed.)
