Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 122: The Chained Puppet! The Knowledge of Bloodline!

This... A puppet, how?

Leo thought in confusion and surprise, staring at the motionless devil in front of him, not believing that it was, in fact, a puppet...

The cold breath of it still lingered through his skin to the point that even its dreadful smell entered his nostrils.

As Leo was pondering on the spot, not daring to move a bit as he was afraid of the puppet in front of him... A sudden clanking sound of gears moving echoed within the passage, followed by the devil puppet moving backward.

Clang, clang, clang...

It slowly moved, creating and causing the black ink water beneath to ripple as it dragged the heavy chain that was connected to its two feet in the far distance...

Clang...

Soon, after another 5 minutes of being motionless, the silhouette of the devil puppet finally vanished in Leo's sight, causing him and the two silver skeletons to drop toward the wet ground in pure exhaustion...

Exhausted both mentally and physically.

Clank, clank, ( I already said that we should go to the right side...)

Skeleton #1 complains as it weakly lies down on the wet ground, touching the severed bones beneath to calm its terrified mind.

Clank! (Idiot brother, the both-way leads in the same direction!)

Skeleton #2 angrily said, couldn't maintain its usual calmness as it occasionally took a glance toward the unknown darkness, afraid that the devil would again appear!

"Let's go, we can't stay here in this place!"

Leo said as he forcefully stood up... In an instant, the feeling of his legs wiggling as he forcefully took a step forward appeared within him, making his expression turn unnatural, causing the two silver skeletons on the ground to giggle slightly.

"Do you find this funny? What if I told you two that we will face that devil earlier and you two will become the vanguard... you two will still find this funny?"

This...

Clank, clank! (No, it's not like that, we were extremely shocked to the point that we started hallucinating!)

Clank! (Y~yes, master, believe Skeleton #1 this time!)

The two silver skeletons immediately said, afraid that Leo would really do what he said.

Clang, clang...

As they were bickering with each other, the familiar sound of the chain being dragged along... again resounded within the passage, greatly scaring the three.

"F*ck, quick!"

Leo after saying that, without hesitation, rushed toward the exit of the passage, leaving the two silver skeletons astounded behind...

Clank! (This, master didn't hesitate to leave us alone!)

Clank... (Idiot, quick let's go!)

Huff~

"Fortunately it didn't chase us further...

"If I become Core Formation realm in the future, I will do my best to kill that devil to disassemble its parts!"

Leo heavily gasped for air, holding the earth beside him to support his exhausted body as he casually said to himself... Pondering as he was quite curious about the being who created that transcended puppet, feeling that its realm was above the legendary Nascent Soul Realm!

Gazing above, toward the exit of the passage, Leo weakly sat toward the ground, quite relieved that they could finally exit this place.

Huff~ I should recover my Qi first before going back to the surface...

Leo silently thought, sitting in a cross-legged manner before closing his eyes as he started to circulate the cultivation technique within...

Swish...

In the next second, wisps of black Qi began to appear within the environment before entering Leo's body and pores at a fast speed... Almost to the point of enveloping Leo's figure in dark light.

Ding!

+1 Qi!

+1 Qi!

+1 Qi!

Every minute he absorbed and circulated the death Qi within himself, Leo's Qi storage began to recover in speed.

Moreover, deep within his soul, a slow process of changes was happening. The Death Qi within him slowly and unconsciously began moving toward it, slowly dyeing his soul in pure darkness... Slowly causing its aura to have a hint of ferociousness within.

Huff~

Soon, after another 4 hours of circulating his cultivation technique, Leo suddenly spat out a dark sticky liquid in his mouth, causing the ink-black water in the distance to sizzle with toxicity...

Unhurriedly opening his gray eyes, Leo stared at the dark blob that he spat in confusion, not knowing what it was...

"However... I feel much better after I spat out that liquid.'

Leo mumbled under his breath as he examined his soft skin akin to the skin of a newborn baby in surprise... Moreover, even though the surrounding environment was shrouded in darkness, he could still perfectly see within 10 meters away from him, making him wonder what kind of changes happened to his soul body.

"System, do you have any Idea what happened to my current body?"

Leo asked in confusion, wanting to confirm if there was no side effect or strange thing happening within his body.

Ding!

[ Answering the question would cost the host 5,000 horror points.

(Accept/Declined)? ]

"Accept."

Leo immediately accepted, clearly not in the mood to bicker with the system.

Ding!

[ It's related to the mutation that happened to you earlier!

Completely elevating one's race and potential took time to show...

To the beasts and humans, mutating further to their potential would lead to their bloodline upgrading or strengthening further, causing the accumulated toxins and impurities within their bodies to be expelled outside. ]

This... I see, no wonder the white rabbit was hell-bent on eating natural treasures. It was desperate to increase its bloodline!

Leo mused, feeling that his knowledge increased again by a small amount... Thinking of something, he again asks the system.

"Then, how about the +1 and +2 at the end of the grade of the beasts?"

Ding!

-500 horror points!

[ Their potential upgraded further beyond their born race grade, making them stronger than their peers... but it's still lacking to upgrade their potential above their grade causing their grade to have mutated +1 or +2 at the end of their race! ]

"This... I understand, no wonder.

"Then, what is the grade of my species?"

Ding!

[ Wisp race is graded to common-uncommon grade... ]

Leo, "( o_o )"
