Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 159: Skill Fusion Feature!

"Gulped, Never mind..."

Leo audibly gulped, secretly cursing within his mind upon seeing that the system was offering him a loan... Feeling that the system was slowly falling toward the dark side- the deepest side.

Besides that, how many zeros present are there, isn't the system trying to scam him with his hard-earned horror points?

Should he already start haunting the houses within the town to EARN a small amount of horror points?

"Huff~ maybe I should also start creating and selling puppet dolls to earn...'

Still, would his potion-making enter a quantitative change after using that good-looking cauldron?

Sigh...

Taking a deep breath, shaking his mind. Leo began to ponder on the spot, thinking slightly before deciding to drag two skills toward the cauldron.

"I should try combining high-ranked skills first since the feature would enter cool-down afterwards."

Opening his character panel, Leo began to browse down, toward all of his skills, looking for suitable skills to combine... Wanting to use the opportunity to strengthen his arsenal of abilities.

"Mist of Illusion, Invisibility, Telekinesis, Necromancy...

"Huff~ there are a lot of skills within which is some of them that I really didn't use often... I should list down the things that I lack the most.

"Other than offensive skills, I also lack protection skills, self-boosting skills, speed skills, and talent skills... There's also the healing skills."

As if sensing something, Leo couldn't help but momentarily pause, contemplating for a while before suddenly cursing in a deep voice...

D*mm! I lack everything except support skills! What kind of arsenal of skill is this!?

"Should I start crying in the corner now or should I curse to the fissure above and the system?'

***

Huff~

"I really need to gain physical body to buy skills within the town, or maybe I could also try to steal some even if it was only common to uncommon skills...

"Or else I wouldn't notice how would I die in the future."

Burying those thoughts behind his back, Leo focused on the thing he was doing, dragging his incomplete domain and the (Epic) Necromancy within.

Ding!

[ Fusing compatibility (60%)... The cost of Fusing the skills is 1,000,000 horror points and 2 Medallion of Forceful Upgrade... Cooldown 100 days...

Note: Failure to combine the skills wouldn't allow the user to recover the cost of the fusion of the skills. ]

"This, 1 million!? I couldn't afford it! Moreover, what is the deal upon failing the fusion!?"

Crazily shaking his head in an unimaginable manner, Leo quickly retrieved the skill within the cauldron, afraid that the system would go crazy and decided to fuse it before offering him another loan!

Although he really wanted to fuse Epic skills and see if he would gain a Legendary skill afterwards, Leo can only helplessly abandon the thought... He was simply poor right now, to the point that he didn't even have a physical body!

Huff~

"Let's try "Build up Stamina" and "Hidden Strength" skills first. They should only cost a little since they were only at Common to Uncommon skills."

Above, the unceasing cries and caws of black crows kept resounding toward his ears, making one's mortal mentality collapse upon hearing it for hours... staring at the ground with reddened eyes, resting in tall canopies as it hid their figure perfectly...

Beneath the ground, Leo occasionally could feel small movements within, making him nod in satisfaction upon seeing the changes within the cemetery...

"I should focus on creating potions in these few days. After I advance toward the Core Formation realm and upgrade my class job, I will then give the town a visit!"

Finally deciding about his course of action in the future, Leo leisurely took out his black cauldron, placing it in his front before taking the materials out within his inventory(spiritual herbs and fruits), placing it neatly within his reach before starting to ready himself for another non-stop of potion making...

"I'm going to create 50 potions this day before I start cultivating to accumulate more Qi!"

Thinking of it, Leo began to provide Qi to the lamp beneath as he started creating potions... Focusing as the sound of his puppets resounded within.

***

Deep within the Forest, tens of miles away from the town.

Trees silently shrouded the land, making it dark within the senses of the beasts within... In its centre, a small wooden hut being covered in an ominous aura was silently standing within... Adding a sense of mysteriousness to it as it was being encircled by trees.

Beneath it, countless decaying bones of different beasts, imperceptible to one senses were slowly being consumed by time...

...

Swish!

"We can't delay anymore, we need to fasten our development.

"My intuition was slowly sending me a premonition of danger and dread...

"If I guess correctly, they already dealt with that newly ascended serpent."

The voice of an old man quickly resounded within the enclosed hut, causing the lit-up candle in the short distance to sway slightly- threatening to extinguish...

"I see, but we can't actually deal much more damage within... That Peak Core Formation realm being was secretly guarding that town!

"With its senses, it would immediately notice it if countless humans within that town suddenly died within a short period of time!"

A burly man weakly replied, holding a wooden rosary in his palm as red crimson blood slowly taints it... Above, his upper body was noticeably wounded, showing his battered flesh beyond.

"Indeed, that's why we need to take a risk.

"Although we don't have a Peak or Upper stage of the Core Formation realm within our number, we could still at least stall him for 5-10 minutes using an Early to Middle stage of Core Formation realm..."

"But..."

"There's no need to change my mind, although it would become extremely risky toward the being who would stall that Peak Core Formation realm being... We don't have much choice.

"Besides that, that Devil's patience was slowly running out."

Shaking his head, the old man said, sighing deeply before staring at the weak flames of the candle in his front- his thoughts were unknown as he slowly clicked the handle of the wooden chair...

"How about the escape route?" After a long while, his old voice again travelled within the hut...

Hearing this, one of the black-robed men beyond the wounded burly man instinctively steps forward, arranging his thoughts before replying in a deep yet ethereal voice.

"Yes, we luckily discover a deep catacomb within the town. It has countless passage that leads toward different exits and unknown depths...

"Unfortunately, we lack time and there are also countless ferocious beasts within, we can only note some passages..."
