Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"What the... this plant was able to consume even the faint rules of the deceased?!"

Sensing the growing existence of the unknown plant beneath the depths of the earth by solely relying on his soul strength, Leo couldn't help but raise his brow in surprise.

Silently watching the almost non-existent roots drilled toward the countless corpses around it, sucking every nutrient available on their flesh and blood... inside the innards of its victim.

With every second passed by, the root aura and size slowly increased in every absorption it took, making its length to farther reach the chaotic battlefield—slowly slithering within the cold, wet ground of the town before drilling toward the battered physique of the beast and quasi-devils, dead or alive.

Fortunately, even though the plant's life force continuously increased due to the countless corpses scattered around the town, the beings above the atmosphere, especially the core formation realm cultivators and the beasts, still hadn't sensed anything strange on the ground.

This further made Leo sense that something strange was going on with the unknown plants and roots on the ground.

"No, I only probably notice their existence due to my intensely high soul power and due to the group's strange action...'

Thinking of it, Leo couldn't help but glance at the withering corpses on the ground, curling his lips slyly before waving his palm toward them, manipulating 25% of his rule of "Life Nature" before feeding it toward the hidden roots within the innards of the corpses, making their existence mutate in an unknown direction, causing Leo to chuckle afterward upon successfully integrating his rules toward the plants beneath. Stay tuned with empire

"I see, I understand! So I could actually integrate two or more rules into a single skill with the help of others...

"Keke~ cultivation knowledge is really vast! If I hadn't seen Sebastian manipulating his rule toward Rosa earlier, I wouldn't have learned this secret."

With the addition of his rule, the unknown plant beneath had already carried 3 different rules within its being, causing its existence to enter an unknown special state that could probably pose a danger to a nascent soul being at its peak!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Although the chances of it entering its peak stage were too small due to the lack of corpses around, it's still quite surprising to know that a rare skill containing three rules could possibly injure a nascent soul realm being.

Although Leo wasn't aware of the full capabilities that a Nascent Soul being could muster, the danger the root gave him allows him to understand that it has already gone beyond the capabilities of the Core Formation realm.

Hence, making him believe that its capabilities had already entered the Quasi, or Early Stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

Ding!

As Leo was engrossed in watching the growth process of the root beneath the cold ground, the familiar sound of the heavy metal striking another metal, loudly echoed within his consciousness, waking him up in the process as he gazed at the sudden notification that appeared within the corner of his mind in pure curiosity.

"This...'

Soon enough, upon reading the information it contained, Leo couldn't help but unfold confusion on his face, not remembering when he started scarring beings that night.

Although some beasts experienced fear when he killed them earlier, their number was still far from a hundred, making Leo overthink as he lightly caressed his pale face in pain...

Thinking that the beast probably got scared by his current appearance.

"Am I that ugly?'

***

5 minutes ago, in the dark and cold corner of the room, inside Leo's horror shop in the far distance of the town.

The countless unconscious bodies of the cultivators could be seen scattered around the floor, being drenched in thick crimson blood as some detached limbs swiftly slithered using their fingers... Creating a rhythmic sound of madness that silently resounded within the enclosed space.

In addition to that, as night silently passed by, a cold light mist began to fill every nook of the building, making the vision of beings inside to be hindered by quite an amount, causing the furniture inside to become more illusionary as if they didn't exist at all due to the hindrance of the mist.

"This... where am I?"

Within the depths of Leo's horror shop, a weakened cultivator slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the dark ceiling of the enclosed building in pure silence as the memories of the past began to emerge within his mind.

The sight of the beast and quasi-devils fighting over his battered and bloodied body slowly resurfaced within the depths of his consciousness, followed by the sensation of sharp teeth grinding his flesh and bones into powder that occurred afterward...

The scent of blood and the decaying saliva still persisted within his nose, in addition to the cold sensation of death, before he completely lost consciousness, making the face of the cultivator turn extremely pale in pure fear and agony.

"Did... I die? How unfortunate..."

Mumbling to himself, he weakly tilted his head toward the side, only to pause midway upon seeing countless cultivators lifelessly slumped toward the cold and sticky ground.

"This, isn't this the cultivator that got consumed by the beast when I was about to lose consciousness earlier?'

Click~ Click~

Still hadn't recovered from the sudden surprise he experienced, a rhythmic and clicking sound suddenly resounded within the damp space of the unknown establishment, sending unprecedented chills within his being afterward as he beheld countless severed limbs, being drenched in crimson blood and flesh, quietly dragging a seeming corpse toward the unknown location.

Vanishing beyond the thick mist that unknowingly emerged from the void afterward, causing the chill that he was experiencing to increase drastically.

"What kind of abomination is that? Don't tell me, I'm currently in hell?!"

Seemingly losing his sense of mind momentarily due to the chaos that was occurring within his mind, the weakened cultivator couldn't help but grab his incomplete hair in horror... Unable to accept the reality in front of him.

(Probably couldn't accept that he died, or probably due to the damage and trauma he received earlier, causing his thoughts to slow down.)
