Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Clank! (Master, we finally found his traces!)

As Leo was about to take out his cauldron, planning to cast a curse toward the hateful bastard using the remnants of flesh that it had left, the anxious yet excited voice of skeleton #2 suddenly resounded within his mind.

Making him halt his action as dense killing intent, almost turning corporeal immediately ooze from his being, making skeleton #2, who was hurriedly approaching his location, instinctively step back in horror.

In the silver skeleton's consciousness, its soul suddenly sends a distress signal within its mind, causing it to sense a heavy oppression and feel a certain death... As if creating a mistake would spell doom to it.

Clank~ (Master is becoming more scary...)

"Immediately take me to the location where you find its traces."

Sweeping his cold gaze toward the trembling physique of Skeleton #2, Leo immediately vanished within his location, appearing beside the dumbfounded latter as he immediately commanded.

Without further ado, fearing that he would anger his master, Skeleton #2 hurriedly led Leo toward the forbidden pit.

With a single step, the two easily cover the distance of 50 meters, creating an intense gale of wind in their wake as they shortly reach the location of the forbidden pit in under a minute.

Upon his arrival, Leo immediately notices the existence of the "Anomalous Eye" that he created a day ago beside the forbidden pit, floating within the atmosphere motionlessly as its dark and dense irises unhurriedly shrank toward his location after noticing his existence.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Leo, without even needing to ponder, immediately understands that the anomalous eye was the one who had found the traces of that hateful beast... That's why, without even pausing, he immediately commanded the puppet to lead the way within the forbidden pit.

Ripple~

Ripple~

Within the place abandoned by the light, three figures, oozing with ominous pressure, suddenly descended from the sky...

Causing the dark sticky fluids on the ground to send a ripple toward the far unknown, destroying the eternal silence within as they hit the ground.

The rotting bones around, containing cracks and molds on their beings, began to wobble under the waves of the fluids, reasoning for some of them to collide with each other and eventually shatter into pieces before slowly submerging under the pitch-black water... Causing their existence and traces to vanish within the face of the world.

"It's been a while; I didn't expect that I would miss this place. I hope those spiritual plants that were growing in this place already have fruits growing on them."

Enjoying the familiar scent of rotting and molds that were growing around, Leo's killing intent reduced by quite an amount, gesturing toward the two to halt for a while as he hurriedly took out the cauldron within his inventory.

To ensure that nothing would go wrong and in order to decrease the requirements of his class job by one, he wanted to curse that hateful beast before he started to hunt it down...

"It would be better if I became its curse; it would make the increase of the class job requirements by one reasonable."

As he thought of that, a dark, blazing flame exuding soul-striking pressure emerged on his hand, darkly illuminating the space around him by a little.

Under the flame's illumination and presence, the surrounding environment suddenly suffered from intense coldness, making the pitch-black water beneath boil unceasingly—a strange occurrence compared to the chilliness it was emitting.

Soon, flickering his finger and sending a trace of flame under the cauldron, the surface of the dark cauldron instantly turned metallic red under the intense temperature that the dark flame contained...

Making the temperature of its exterior rise drastically, to the point that it could melt metal and dissipate it into gas in a matter of milliseconds.

Sizzle-

Seeing this, Leo then tossed all of the flesh of that hateful bastard toward the center of the cauldron, causing them to visible melt under his gaze that contained anger and killing intent.

Just the action of his already showed how hellbent he was to kill that beast in one go, not even saving some of its flesh for further cursing.

Sizzle~

Blob-

Two breaths hurriedly passed by.

Under the intense temperature of the cauldron, the flesh of the beast finally liquefied, instantly turning pitch black with a hint of redness with them...

Their scent already carried a nauseating smell as Leo added his spiritual qi toward them, following the knowledge he had regarding cursing as he often added his understanding or certain rules to them in order to strengthen its effects.

Blob- blob-

Under their bubbling sound and the splashing of their essence toward the edges of the cauldron, the smiling eyes of Leo could be faintly discerned, showing how he enjoyed the thought of that bastard suffering agony that it couldn't explain before it died under his merciless hands.

Truth be told, it could be said that it was Leo's first time mixing his hatred and killing intent with the cursing, although he had already cursed countless times.

If he remembered correctly, based on the knowledge of cursing, the curse would be much more potent if the one who was cursing added his negative emotions toward it, transforming his hatred into torment...

As for the exact information, the curse knowledge didn't state it, making Leo lick the corner of his lips in pure curiosity and anticipation.

"This was unexpected; unfortunately, in order to unlock the rules bonus, I needed to comprehend at least 5% of the said rules."

Leo lightly thought. As for the description of the rule, Leo didn't think highly of it since in his mind it was simply similar to his "Jinx" skill; it's just that its range was quite high and the activation of it was troublesome.
