Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Boom!

Soon enough, after Jerome retreated for about 3 meters. The sound of heavy crashing resounded to his ears. Followed by the debris of earth hitting his physique, giving him a slight sensation of pain.

Dust lingered within the atmosphere. With the addition of darkness that shrouded the encompasses of the land, the vision of the group further diminished.

Planting uncertainty within their being as they hurriedly approached each other, understanding that they could reduce the chances of the abomination ambushing them if they watched each other's back.

"What kind of abomination is that!? This is my first time seeing so horrifying!"

Ker, staring at the clearing atmosphere in the distance, couldn't help but curse under his breath. Staring at the pale face of the snake, beholding how its expression changed from time to time.

Showing a playful, vicious, and amusement from its dreadful face!

Making his heart tremble slightly due to the instinctive fear hidden within his consciousness upon seeing something unexplainable.

Furthermore, its strength was unclear under his deliberate prying!

His scan skill only shows that its level was between the very peak of the foundation realm and the early stage of the core formation realm.

...

Hissss~

Seeing that the humanoid beings in the distance don't have plans on further attacking it. The pale snake hurriedly manipulated its size, further increasing it to 5 meters long as its face also began to stretch in a spine-chilling way...

Causing them to slightly tear in the process as rotting flesh and dark disgusting blood began to ooze from the snake's nonexistent injuries.

Making the group hurriedly covered their nose and mouths, suppressing the desire to puke as they could sense that their stomach began to crazily churn upon watching the nauseating sight in the distance.

Although they had experienced lots of horrible things in the past, the human-faced snake in the distance was beyond their imagination.

It was simply born to portray the hidden horror within everyone's heart!

...

Boom!

"F*CK!"

Sure enough, with its elevated size. Merely flicking its tail was enough to reach their location. Causing them to hurriedly retreat before casting all of their offensive skills.

Filling the damp atmosphere with different kinds of lights that lightly illuminated the surroundings... before hurling them at the human-faced snake in the next second.

Fortunately, with minimal effort of hurling their skill, the chances of hitting the abomination in the distance were quite high.

Causing their skill to instantly hit its pale physique as they behold how its uneven scale deflected some of their attacks.

Making the look on their face darken slightly in the process.

"Damnit! Don't stop, just bombard it with offensive skills!

"I don't believe that we wouldn't be able to destroy its protective scale after raining it with dozens of skills!"

Boom!

Hisssss!

As they were busy bombarding the pale body of the snake, the soft earth beneath them suddenly caved in. Reasoning for them to lose their balance as they behold dozens of earth spikes mysteriously emerge from the cold ground.

Making their eyes widen in horror and fear as they instinctively jump away.

However, with extra weight on Jerome's shoulder, his movement was delayed and slowed by almost a second.

Causing the earth spike to penetrate his soles, destroying the bones within as he couldn't help but cry in pure agony and pain.

Gritting his teeth, he forcefully snapped the spike that pierced his right sole. Using his uninjured leg to kick the emerging spike, causing his body to retreat due to the force he used.

Huff~

"Are you okay?"

Seeing the protruding bones on Jerome's feet, Aris asked worriedly. Eyes not living the human faced snake in the distance as he took out a wound paste on his inventory before tossing it to Jerome.

***

Spew!

Showing amusement on its cold irises, the human faced snake opened its mouth. Revealing the spine-chilling scene beyond as bubbling toxicity could be faintly discerned accumulating from its throat.

Gurgle-

In the next second, under the wary gaze of the group. Dozens of thick saliva originating from the mouth of the snake hurriedly hurled toward their direction.

Making their premonition tingle in discomfort as Jerome gritted his teeth before forcefully using his "Air Wave" skill.

A skill that summoned an intense gale of wind from out of nowhere that was capable of uprooting a young tree.

Sizzle~

Just as Jerome expected, after using his skill, the hurling saliva of the pale snake uncontrollably flew toward the far distance, hitting the thick trees behind the snake.

Watching them swiftly corrode after being splashed by its toxicity, causing them to gulp in unison upon thinking what kind of scene would unfold if they got accidentally hit by it.

"This... We need to retreat, that snake was clearly playing with us!

"If it fully utilized its skills and body earlier on, then the chances of us surviving for minutes was almost nil!"

Aris, noticing the relaxed expression of the abomination in the far distance even after bombarding it with countless offensive skills, immediately understood that their chances of defeating the latter were almost impossible.

Immediately speaking to Ker and Jerome beside him in a hushed panicked tone, couldn't help but tremble slightly upon understanding that their life were already on the line.

With possibilities of death if they hadn't found a solution in time!

"We can't, we wouldn't be able to go back in town on time. With its speed, it would be able to chase us after a minute of running.

"This... W-why not leave here and let me buy you some time?"

Shaking his head, feeling guilty upon dragging his friend into this kind of situation. Ker suggests to be left alone in order to buy his friends some time and hope to escape.

"No, we might not die here... We needed to rush toward the cemetery and ask for help! That's our only hope for survival!"

Gritting his teeth, suppressing the pain that was coursing through his being, Jerome hurriedly spoke toward the group.

Remembering the reason they came here in the first place was to gain the help of the suspected Core Formation realm being on creating potions!

Although potion master's combat ability wasn't that good, they often carried strange potions within them that were capable of increasing their capabilities above their natural order!

Making them formidable in the process!

***

Soon, after minutes of attempting to reach the cemetery.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Boom!

Dust filled the atmosphere as the battered body of Aris drew an ark within the sky, heavily hitting the soft ground in the next second.

Trembling slightly in an attempt to stand up but to no avail!

Earlier, in order to save the life of Jerome and Ramon from the fast-approaching tail of the snake, he uses his body to block the incoming attack. Hence, to his current situation.

Uggh-

"I can't feel anything... Everything feels numb..."

He mumbled in half unconscious state, eyes blurry as he stared at the hissing snake in the distance. Beholding how it coiled toward the physique of Ker, tightening greatly as cracking bones could be faintly heard within.

"We... Are we going to die in this kind of place?"

He thought in regret before weakly shifting his gaze toward the almost disfigured body of Ramon whose situation was unclear and the bleeding Jerome nearby...

Watching the fear in the latter's eyes as it summoned countless offensive spells in the hope of saving Ker in the distance but to no avail, causing him to clench his fist due to how weak he was.

Clank- Clank-

As the group was bathing in the great sensation of despair, the body of the human faced snake in the far distance suddenly halted upon hearing the incoherent sound of clanking.

Showing slight fear within its eyes upon remembering the command of his master... However, due to its curiosity earlier, it had already forgotten about it.

....

Beholding the clear emotion of fear within the irises of the abomination in the distance, the hope within Jerome's eyes re-ignited.

This caused him to hurriedly turn his head toward his back, hoping to gain the help of the being who accidentally entered this area.

"This..."

However, as if fate was teasing them. Upon tilting his head toward the origin of the clanking sound on his back, his eyes immediately constricted.

Beholding a silver skeleton that was constantly being shrouded by darkness, holding a bone sword in its left skeletal hand as it leisurely walked toward their direction.

Its eyes, capable of trapping one's soul inside emotionlessly sweep toward their beings. Probably contemplating how it would kill them.

"This is bad... It was a skeleton!'

Cursing within his head, Jerome was about to attack the being in the distance when suddenly, out of nowhere, a deep and emotionless voice mysteriously and imposingly resounded within the depths of his consciousness, making his eyes widen in shock in the next second.

Clank~ (If I were you, I wouldn't provoke beings that you accidentally met. It might cost you and your friends lives in the process...)
