Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 272 The Unexpected Death of The Nascent Soul Beast (3)!

Soon, upon hiding the corpse of the core formation realm beast within his inventory...

Leo lightly shifted his gaze toward the woman behind him, watching her consume several potions in one go before descending toward the ground at low speed, sitting cross-leg on the bloodied ground afterward before starting to circulate the Qi within her body.

Sure enough, as the second passed by, the light injuries and fatigue she received from battling the core formation realm beast began to visibly heal, regaining the roseness of her cheeks in the process.

"Such a careless being, who would recuperate within the battlefield? Is she not afraid of being disturbed or being sneak attacked by some core formation beast...'

Muttering in a low voice, Leo couldn't help but heave a light sigh of helplessness, deciding to accompany the woman for a while as he gazed toward the fluctuation of energy that originated in the distance.

Pondering deep within himself as he spread his divine senses around him. Attempting to pinpoint where the strongest fluctuation of energy is coming from.

Since he couldn't control his current strength well, he concluded that it was best to find a beast or quasi-devil with the highest realm within the battlefield.

(Of course, it was only limited to the core formation realm.)

Although it might put him at unnecessary risk, it was the only option he found in order to hasten the solidification of his foundation, understanding that he couldn't always be overly cautious about certain things.

"If I wanted to step into the Nascent Soul realm in the shortest time possible, it was necessary to take some risk.'

Pausing for a while, silently tilting his head upward as he started at the crack within the firmament that enlarged at some point in pure silence, Leo again continued.

"If I stayed in the core formation realm, I'm afraid that I would lose the basic ability to protect my life."

...

In the blink of an eye, another 3 minutes silently passed by.

Sensing that the situation of the woman finally began to stabilize, the figure of Leo suddenly turned incorporeal within the dark atmosphere, vanishing akin to a bubble as a breeze of cold wind spread around.

"Wait!"

Beholding this, the woman cast a regretful expression on her face, sighing afterward before dashing toward the unfolding battle nearby, wanting to help the others in order to swiftly calm the chaos occurring within the town.

Although she really wanted to know the name of the human earlier, probably wanting to establish some connection so she could buy some potions later, the current situation didn't allow her to do that.

Further causing her to sense an inexplicable loss within her being.

"What a pity..."

Swish~

Flying at a swift speed, Leo unhurriedly checks the system, swiftly scrolling toward the dozen skills below before pressing one of them.

Ding!

[ Upgrading your Invisibility skill to level 9 would cost 4 medallions of forceful upgrade and 15,000 horror points.

(Accept/Declined?) ]

Seeing that the cost in order to upgrade his invisibility skill to the next level increased by 50% compared to when he upgraded it to level 8, Leo couldn't help but lightly shake his head, sighing deeply before forcefully pressing the accept button.

Although he still hadn't met a being in the core formation realm that could notice his existence under his invisibility skill, Leo couldn't be sure if he would remain undetected if he met some unique cultivators who unlocked some strange skills...

Making him conclude that upgrading his invisibility skill would be for the best, further increasing his ability to slip off or sneak attack drastically in the future.

Tap- Tap-

In an instant, after pressing the accept button, a sudden heat emerged within Leo's soul, carrying a strange warmth that hurriedly swept and coursed through his being, making the presence of his life force, Qi, and rules degrade to a large extent.

To the point of being almost negligible by others... as if carrying the essence of being undetected.

In addition to that, the energy that the jinx skill was unconsciously releasing and the other negative fluctuations that were oozing within Leo's physique became more imperceptible to one's naked eye and divine senses...

Making them spread freely without the risk of being detected by any beings below his current realm!

"This... I could even lower my presence in order to deceive others regarding my current realm. I didn't expect that upgrading the invisibility skill to level 9 would make its ability increase by folds."

Mumbling to himself with excitement, Leo couldn't help but lower his presence to the early stage of the core formation realm, making him smile afterward due to the strange thoughts that suddenly emerged within his mind.

Casually thinking that the newly upgraded invisibility skill would become handy in planting seeds of doubt within everyone's mind.

"Keke~ would the peak stage of the core formation realm experience despair and inferiority if an early stage of the core formation realm beat him/her?'

Swish~

Unable to hide the bubbling excitement within his being, Leo hurriedly deactivated his invisibility skill, only retaining its ability to lower his presence to the early stage of the core formation realm as he rushed toward the intense, fluctuating energy in the far distance.

Hiding the twisted grin on his face as he lightly waved his left palm in front of him, summoning several mental piercings behind his back, readying himself to instantly hurl them later in order to make the unlucky enemy suffer from confusion.

Sigh~

"Unfortunately, I couldn't simply drag the beast or quasi-devil within my domain in front of another human cultivator. It would easily offend them that way.

"At least, they would easily think that I was stealing their prey."

If Leo wanted to maximize solidifying his fragile foundation, the best option for him would actually be to lock the enemy within his incomplete domain. Fighting him/her without carrying about the disturbance from the outside world.

"Unfortunately..."

Although he didn't care about the feelings of others, Leo wanted to distance himself from unnecessary trouble since he still needed humans (intelligent beings) in order to earn horror points.

Without horror points, Leo's growth speed would surely suffer greatly.

(Leo could earn horror points by selling products within his horror shop; he was simply afraid of losing possible customers.)
