Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Cursing to himself, Leo, without further ado, clicked the accept button in front of him, causing the dark, heavy lid of the ancient cauldron to suddenly close with a loud bang. Sizzling and trembling as it began exuding a bright, yet foreboding light, making his sight momentarily affected.

Tremble~

Slowly, the surface of the churning cauldron began to change, transitioning between the hues of gray and black as it gave off a mysterious aura that shook Leo's soul.

Its exquisite design also began harboring a dangerous vibe as it pulsated unceasingly, as if about to explode at any second, causing Leo's expression to be filled with unease.

Still not done, a faint fluctuation coming from the lid of the ancient cauldron began to spread toward the surroundings, making the temperature around Leo drop significantly, almost touching the freezing point as the thick, stained-white mist began to materialize out of nowhere... filling the room with their dampness.

Then, deep within the stained mist, a faint, chilling wail, seemingly originating from the depths of the abyss and carrying deep agony, suddenly reverberated within the enclosed room.

...

"This..."

Without even noticing it, Leo's attention already shifted to the thick mist around him, seemingly forgetting about the trembling cauldron within the system panel as the faint image of the abyss reflected in his eyes.

In the depths of the seemingly endless mist, originating from the leaking lid of the ancient cauldron, Leo saw something that invoked a deep sensation of dread within his being.

There, he saw a pair of crimson eyes, as large as his shop, intently staring at his pale figure, looking down at him from high above, making him feel his insignificant existence...

Even without beholding the other party's complete silhouette, Leo already knew that it was capable of erasing his existence if it wanted to, causing his back to be drenched with illusionary sweat upon facing the other party.

"He... Hello."

Filled with unease and chaotic thoughts, Leo mumbled absentmindedly toward the void, not showing any emotions or drastic movement in order to show that he didn't mean any harm or carry a hint of danger.

However, much to his surprise, after he just finished speaking those words, the gigantic eyes within the mist suddenly blinked, turning unstable before vanishing in an instant—seemingly being invoked by something as the mist around him also got sucked into the lid of the ancient cauldron... Causing the anomaly around him to vanish as well.

"Don't tell me, all of that was simply a product of fusing the two epic skills?!"

Seeing that all of the mist around him vanished within the subsiding ancient cauldron, a testament that the skill fusion was coming to an end, Leo's eyes couldn't help but carry a deep thought, increasingly feeling that the legendary skill was beyond his understanding.

"Did it succeed?" Leo thought as he gazed at the gap within the lid of the ancient cauldron, watching the increasingly bright light oozing within as he waited impatiently.

Boom!

Sure enough, after the cauldron stopped moving. The cauldron's exquisite black surface began losing its initial luster, quickly entering its 10-day cooldown period, as the sound of notification suddenly rang within his mind, making his heart skip a bit as he hurriedly opened them... Reading them with nervousness, his eyes couldn't help but glint with hope.

Ding!

[ Hell Invocation Spell (Legendary) - A heavenly spell containing traces of Dao. Upon usage, it was capable of opening doors and summoning creatures from hell, momentarily borrowing their strength to wreak havoc on the land surface...

Activation: 50 Spiritual Qi per second.

Effects 1: Create a passage between hell and earth, allowing the creatures within to appear beside the user... However, the creatures that the user could summon were heavily related to the user realm.

Effects 2: There's a probability that the user could summon creatures above its realm; however, the user wouldn't be able to command them.

Effects 3: Comprehension regarding rules under the Dao of Invocation, Fire, and Malice would increase by 25% permanently.

Note: Creatures summoned by the skill wouldn't have malice toward the invoker. The lower their realm, the higher their loyalty to the user (only work while the skill was active).

Upgrade Cost: 25,000 horror points! ]

"What the... This skill was simply divine! Although it was still at level one, its strength already surpassed those forbidden epic skills and holy epic skills by folds!

"Not to mention its effects; just the increase in comprehension alone already makes it far beyond the capabilities of epic skills!"

Closing his eyes, sensing the drastic changes happening within his spirit and soul, making him easily perceive the related rules that exist around him, as if he could easily understand their origin, Leo couldn't help but sense a novel feeling sprouting within his being.

If his comprehension back then was only 10, then he was confident to say that his comprehension right now entered 12 points!

An increase that will benefit him forever!

"However, my current spiritual pool couldn't sustain long usage of the legendary skill; I could only use it if my life was in danger."

Restraining the strong urge to activate the skill, knowing that activating it would create a huge disturbance, Leo, upon thinking for a while, immediately took out the new items he received from the system.

In an instant, an item similar to a skill scroll appeared in his grasp. Its jade-like surface, shimmering with purple light, was cold to his touch, often emitting a soft glow as its information soon reflected within his retina.

Ding!

[ Skill Ticket (Epic); An item containing the Dao of creation. Upon using it, the host would be able to create one epic skill based on your preference.

Note: You couldn't use this item to clean the information about rules, law, and Dao! ]

"This item... can I use this as a substitute for skill fusion in the future?"
