Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

"I... This is a misunderstanding, w-we were just passing by."

The huge man anxiously said, secretly glancing toward the surroundings- seemingly calculating the best place and time where to escape... Unfortunately, with the situation he was currently in, escaping without suffering injuries seems impossible.

"I... I need to create a chance. I don't have the ability to fight a Core Formation realm being yet!'

He thought as the voice of the man suddenly resounded in the distance, causing him to become tense as he instantly raised his guard.

"Keke~ Indeed, I believe you. However, do you ever believe in fate?"

"Fate?"

"Yes, Fate... Since you coincidentally entered this place, then isn't your fate to become the nutrition of my puppets? Keke~ If you can't accept that fact, then maybe you're destined to become one of the beings under the grave~"

Leo playfully replied, unconsciously releasing an unknown aura that subconsciously make beings around him to easily trust and believe him- making the expression of the huge man twist, feeling that he was currently hearing the voice of a demon, tempting him to believe the taboos it was telling...

"Mental attack?'

Shaking his head, forcefully snapping his consciousness awake. The huge man trembled slightly, opening his palm as an intense imperceptible aura emanated from it- travelling toward the void, toward the far distance as the eyes of beings around him momentarily dim...

"Mental Shock!'

In an instant, the sensation of being hit by countless metal hammers mentally (Due to his connection toward his puppets) emerges within Leo's consciousness, causing his eyelids to twitch violently- making him unable to control his physique as it unconsciously quivers...

Seeing this unexpected outcome, understanding that it should only make a Core Formation realm being pause for half a second yet the being opposite him seems to suffer from the unknown...

The huge man didn't hesitate further, using the opportunity he had created as he dashed toward the side of the extremely pale man in the short distance- opening his mouth slightly, mumbling in an incoherent voice as the colour of his eyes deepened by amount, making it mysterious in the process.

"Knowledge pursuer... Mental Piercing!'

Still not done, the void around him twisted violently, summoning the familiar incorporeal spears which seemed more corporeal as they momentarily suspended within the air... Pointing toward Leo before abruptly hitting his pale physique in a matter of milliseconds- vanishing in an instant, entering his consciousness, wreaking havoc within as Leo's eyes instantly opened...

Bloodshot akin to crimson as the red vein around his eyes was visible to the naked eye!

AHHH!

Opening his mouth, Leo shouted in pure agony and pain, feeling that his incorporeal brain was being shredded by thousands of knives- making the corner of his lips ooze with black sticky blood (a product of his soul), causing the huge man in the short distance to unconsciously grabbed his hair with force...

Due to his current physique that was purely based on his soul, Leo's shout could be said akin to a weakened version of his Soul Shrieking skill! That at least carried 10% of its strength if he unconsciously used it!

...

"F*ck, what kind of skill is this!'

The huge man thought in agony, grabbing some of his hair that detached from his scalp- making his head wet and sticky as he forcefully opened his eyes. Gritting his teeth to the point that blood began to leak from his gums as he shakily spread his arms- summoning the metallic book from the void, opening it as he stopped at the third page of the book.

"Replication... Dawn of Misfortune.'

Blinding his eyes with the thing written on it, the man, without hesitation, activated the only skill left within the book... Instantly, causing the surroundings to become shrouded in an intense uncomfortable aura, as if Death cast its gaze toward the bland place.

Ding!

[ Congratulations upon being afflicted by Misfortune!

-10 Luck! ]

Hearing the notification rang within his consciousness yet unable to see it due to his unstable vision. Leo groaned uncomfortably, wanting to use some of his skill but inexplicably unable to, feeling that something was hindering him from successfully activating his skill!

Without any choice, knowing that he underestimated his enemy, Leo decisively deactivated his Restrain skill... Instantly making the void tremble as the weather above the atmosphere instantly becomes dark- making the huge man in the distance raise his guard (although not too much since he thought that it was related to the third skill "Dawn of Misfortune" that he activated!).

...

Boom! Boom!

Dark looming clouds shrouded the firmament above, dyeing the land in complete darkness as the streak of lightning unceasingly flashed within the clouds.

Tack~ Tack~

Soon, in an instant, black droplets of water, seemingly carrying misfortune, calamity, and disease began to fall from the sky... Quickly soaking the land, corroding the surface it hit as everything around suffered from the unknown...

Beholding this, the huge man instinctively raised his head, seeing that the thick grey fog unfolded the view of the sky- making his eyes reveal a grim expression as his basic premonition began to send a hint of danger toward his being...

Bending his knees slightly, the man immediately dashed towards the distance, using the opportunity when the pale man was still hadn't recovered to escape- understanding that the skill he replicated only worked for ten minutes before vanishing toward the void.

Swish!

However, he just distanced himself for about 50 meters from Leo when the earth beneath him suddenly caved in! Weakened due to being soaked by rain, causing the man inexplicably fell toward the ground, rolling for a couple of meters before stopping!

Making him daze for a couple of seconds due to the misfortune he just experienced- unable to fathom how his luck suddenly decreased by amount.

"Coincidence? However, the chances of me stepping toward the hollow earth were too small!'

The huge man instinctively thought as he hurriedly gazed toward the afar, only for him to suddenly quiver in fright and horror upon beholding the cold grey eyes of the man in the far distance, staring toward his physique in unprecedented coldness... Making his consciousness to feel naked, seeming able to see his deepest secret and fear as he couldn't help but audibly gulp...

Still, hadn't a second passed by, he saw the man slowly raise his left palm toward his direction... Smiling wickedly as he lightly clenches it.

Ding!

-5 health!

This...

"Telekinesis...'

Leo mumbled under his breath, suppressing the feeling of discomfort within his head as he pointed his palm toward the direction of the huge man- clenching it in the next second, causing the man's left foot to suddenly suffer a small dent.

"Keke~ unfortunately, the Qi of living beings instinctively counter the Qi within the telekinetic skill, causing its power to be reduced by at least 80%'

Keke~

Seeing the dumbfounded yet contorting expression of the huge man in the distance, the smile on Leo's face further widened... Giggling slightly as he again clenched his fist, slightly adding Qi toward it as the dent on the man's foot further deepened- seemingly experimenting as he occasionally increased the Qi within the skill.

Shing!

However, as Leo was about to manipulate the man's other foot- planning to cripple it so it wouldn't be able to escape, a sudden intense headache emerge within his consciousness, causing his skill to deactivate on its own as the huge man in the far distance suddenly vanishes within his senses...

"Mental Illusion?'

Seemingly understanding what just transpired, Leo's expression again changes, from the initial playful expression to a cold one as the thick fog around him begins to churn crazily- a testament to his current mood.

Without wasting time, Leo immediately activated his Divine senses, instantly allowing him to perfectly sense and see 200 meters away from him- instantly discerning the blurry figure of the huge man 120 meters toward the north (Due to his mental skill that allowed him to be imperceptible to one's senses), unsteadily running in the far distance, unable to display his terrifying speed due to the slight dent on his foot...

"Hehe~ Run! Run until you can!"

Seeing this, Leo shouted in an enraged yet amused tone, instantly allowing the sound to travel in the far distance, causing the expression of the huge man to darken but didn't flinch as he continued to run... Knowing that stopping by milliseconds might cost his life...

Keke~

However, unfortunately, escaping from this forsaken place seems a pipe dream for him as his body inexplicably and mysteriously begins to suffer different sizes and kinds of wounds...

Slowly dyeing his body in crimson as he slowly loses his ability to move...

"How?'

He thought slowly, gazing at his back with difficulty as he slowly saw the figure of Leo leisurely walking toward his direction. On his hand, a silver balance scale, emitting a dense black smoke, appeared within his senses...

Followed by the innards of the unknown, slowly slithered within one of the plates in low frequency... As the scent of a familiar metallic smell heavily hit his dazed senses...
