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...Nôv(el)B\\jnn

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.

"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.)
