Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"Keke~ They finally show themselves? How long has it been since I last saw them?

"It's finally time to visit the town I guess..."

Beholding that the boiling crimson blood within the cauldron began to evaporate at a swift speed, transforming into something dreadful that hurriedly fused toward the void before transversing the space at unprecedented speed as it rushed toward the depths of the endless forest.

Huff~

Leo couldn't help but slightly exhale in exhaustion, sensing that 11 percent of his overall Qi had already been consumed solely by cursing the low devil, feeling the satisfaction coursing through his being upon seeing the notification that emerged within the corner of his eyes.

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon successfully Cursing the Low Devil!

Curse Effects: Considerable lowering his luck and giving him multiple diseases for 6 hours! ]

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon successfully Cursing for 10 times!

+10,000 horror points!

+2 medallions of forceful upgrade!

+2 high enlightenment stones! ]

"Sweet, I didn't expect that cursing beings could give me a much higher reward compared to the other first time experiences!"

Leo thought with a slight smile hanging on his face, unhurriedly extinguishing the flame under the cauldron before he lazily retrieved the withered shoulder of the low devil within its interior using his telekinetic ability...

Grasping it with his left hand before leisurely tossing it toward the void, watching it enter and vanish within his senses, feeling pleased upon finishing his daily illusionary quest.

"I should curse the devil later at night in order to celebrate my good mood...

"It's really hard to become happy in this kind of days."

Soon, upon cleaning his cauldron and putting it within his inventory, Leo began to stretch his stiff muscles... Checking his complexion in order to ensure that the group wouldn't notice that something was amiss with his physique.

Understanding that he still hadn't gained his physical body back yet. Although his physique right now looks exactly the same as a normal living physique, there's still some difference between that real living physique and him...

Since his body contains rich death, yin, and undead energy that often oozes from his physique from time to time!

Fortunately, if the group managed to notice that something was strange with his physique, he could blame it on one of his skills, passive skills, or cultivation techniques.

Heck, he even could blame it on his strange environment and accident when he was creating potions and puppets!

Making it more believable since he knows that there were no beings within the town that had class jobs that focused on puppet creation!

(He learned it last month when the town mayor told him that they still hadn't encountered a being with a puppet-related class job!)

...

Swish!

Activating his movement skill. Leo lightly taps the ground with his feet, instantly causing his physique to abruptly hurl toward the hole above the ceiling, exiting the forsaken place of pure darkness, leaving a faint trail of chaotic energy behind.

Huff~

Taking a deep breath, inhaling the rotting scent that lingers within the place. Leo unfolded a smile on his face, gazing at the setting sun on the far horizon as he began to move toward the corner of the bland cemetery, toward his farm where the group should be waiting...

This...

"Is this the basic utilisation of soul power? How amazing!

"Who would have thought that I could use it like this!"

Sensing his soul power spreading toward the short distance, Jake couldn't help but exclaim loudly... Unable to hide his amazement upon experiencing speaking toward the group's mind directly!

Furthermore, upon spreading his soul power, he could faintly sense the strength of the individual soul, allowing him to faintly discern their overall strength!

In addition to that, he could faintly catch everyone's unique aura that their soul was unconsciously releasing... Giving him a basic ability that could recognise being even under a unique skill of disguise!

Although it wasn't certain, he could at least detect a disguise skill under the Epic rarity...n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Clank- Clank~ (It's indeed amazing, but all of that was only the basic usage of soul power. There's still the intermediate usage of soul power and the high usage of soul power that I learned on myself!)

Clank- (Of course, I only learn all of it thanks to the inspiration that I gain from my master's actions!)

Seeing the brilliance in everyone's eyes, Skeleton #2 lightly raised his skull, finally able to showcase his unique talent to the group!

A talent that leans on soul mastery!

"Then doesn't that mean that Leo knows how to utilise his soul power further than you?"

Hearing the emotionless voice of Skeleton #2 on everyone's head, Sebastian couldn't help but ask... Secretly glancing toward the devil scarecrow in the short distance, watching it wave its long limbs toward the group, greeting them all akin to an innocent child.

If not for its hateful origin, created using the skin of the Quasi Devil and the disgusting way it was created, Sebastian would gladly inspect its being in pure curiosity.

Unfortunately, just remembering the scene within the town that night and imagining the scene of how Leo created it under the concealment of darkness, Sebastian readily abandoned the thought of approaching its figure due to the slight fear that mysteriously appeared within his being.

A strange effect of the forsaken pit that subconsciously affected the surface land due to its high capability, affecting one's mind secretly without them knowing... To the point that Leo was also unaware of this.

***

Clank- (This... Of course, master's talent regarding soul was above mine by folds, to the point that he could damage one's physique just by relying on his soul power!)

"I see, then I will ask Leo later to teach us some of his tricks in order to increase our strength even by a little!"

Hearing Sebastian in the short distance, Skeleton #2 couldn't help but momentarily freeze, remembering that he still hadn't taught his master the things he learned by utilizing his soul power...

Remembering that his master was busy with his own schedule, causing him to be unable to speak with the latter... To the point that he had already forgotten about it and only remembered it today due to the group's inquiry.

...

Hmm...

"They were utilising their soul power? Interesting...'

In the far distance, under the concealment of his invisibility skill. Leo quietly inspects the group from afar, beholding them using their soul power under the teaching of Skeleton #2.

Using his eyes' uniqueness as he beheld the group's ethereal soul power spreading toward the short distance, connecting toward the other group's soul as he could faintly feel them sending information toward each other.

"Interesting."

Finding it quite fun, Leo hurriedly tried what the group were doing. Hurriedly manipulating his soul power with ease as he beheld it travelled toward the far distance, abruptly connecting toward the group's soul as countless and deafening sounds began to bombard his mind!

Making him close his eyes in slight pain upon hearing all the group thoughts within his mind in unison, causing him to hurriedly cut the connection between them...

Huff~

"That sure hurt. However, I didn't expect that I could use my soul power like that... I guess I was really busy in the past few days causing me to neglect some things."

Leo leisurely thought, watching his imperceptible soul power begin to transform under his deliberate manipulation.

Changing it into countless shapes, coating his pale physique with it, and focusing it on certain parts of his body.

"Keke~ How novel, I could imbue soul damage to my physical attacks if I do this...

"Unfortunately, the consumption of Qi was quite high, reducing 2 of my Qi every second if I used my soul power outside my physical body."

Although he could only imbue faint of his soul power to his physique by coating it with his soul energy, it would still increase his capabilities by quite an amount!

Furthermore, with the strange effects of soul power that could ignore one's physical defense... If Leo attack beings with his physical body while being coated by his soul power, his enemies would surely get caught off guard, instantly giving him an advantage in the long run!

***

Huff~

Soon, after 5 minutes of playing with his soul power, gaining preliminary knowledge on how he could use it...

Leo hurriedly retracts his soul power within the environment, concealing it within the depths of his core before he unhurriedly approaches the group in the far distance.

Deactivating his invisibility skill as his pale physique abruptly materialized toward the world, causing the light of the setting sun to illuminate his pale being... Allowing the group to notice his presence from afar, causing them to immediately shift their gaze toward his direction in unison.

Curious about Leo's current strength and also wanting to verify if Leo really was the pale being that night, Sebastian secretly activated his scan skill... Making his eyes deeper in colour as he seriously gazes toward the approaching being in the far distance.

Ding!
