Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

In an instant, a gale of cold yet soft wind enveloped the man's being, entering through the gaps of his pores, penetrating his physique as he slowly began to sense a newfound strength that elevated his speed by an amount...

Instantly allowing him to possess a speed that wasn't that far from the normal speed of a Core Formation realm being!

In addition to the sphere of wind that occasionally churned around him, passively protecting him from the possible danger, the man couldn't help but sigh softly under his breath, couldn't rid the regret in his eyes upon using the weakest skill he managed to replicate with great difficulties and danger...

"Huff~ The skill that took me weeks to analyse and replicate with difficulty vanished like that...

"It would take me another week to months in able to get a chance to copy another epic skill... Moreover, in able to replicate a skill that could protect me when I decided to advance toward the Core Formation realm, the price that I will need to pay was quite hefty!'

Sighing deeply, gritting his teeth due to intense anger, the man hurriedly glanced toward the ticking time below the skill he replicated, instantly beholding the 10 minutes mark that already started decreasing every second...

Knowing that time was tight, the man hurriedly took out a speed boosting pill inside his inventory, gulping it in the next second as his speed drastically increased by another 10%, instantly making his speed and reflexes comparable to a newly ascended Core Formation realm being!

Huff~

Slowly squinting his eyes, the huge man decisively deactivated his Mental Barrier, instantly making his decreasing mental energy suddenly halt... As the imperceptible shield shielding his physique from danger vanishes in the blink of an eye...

...

Swish!

At the same time upon deactivating his barrier skill. The huge man abruptly and instinctively tilted his head toward the side, perfectly evading the approaching knife pointed behind his back, passing through the empty void before vanishing within the thick fog...

Swish!

Sighing in relief, not hesitating further, the man immediately rushed toward the depths of the grey fog- wanting to find the exit and escape this forsake place of the dead for good! Understanding that fighting an enemy that he couldn't see and perceive is an extremely unwise choice...

However, if he managed to analyse the skill that was hindering one's senses and vision in great detail, then finding the being would become as easy as flipping one's hand.

"Unfortunately, analyzing a skill took at least days at minimum... for me to gain preliminary knowledge regarding it.'

As for his other companion, the huge man didn't care about her... Moreover, with her ability, the chances of her escaping were much higher than him!

...

Swish! Swish!

Creating a gale of wind under his soles, making his speed much swifter as he easily evaded the sharp items that attempted to hit his physique- causing his tense expression to slightly ease...

The huge man couldn't help but reveal a disdain on his face, seemingly able to sense the dark expression of the being controlling the items upon seeing him easily evade the weapon it controlled... Making him slightly happy although he couldn't exact revenge for the loss he suffered!

Keke~

As if sensing the disdain from the huge man, the floating items within the atmosphere suddenly vibrate- creating a wave of gale as their speed suddenly increases by a notch, catching the huge man off guard as an iron knuckle hit the wind shield that was passively protecting his body, caving greatly before being deflected by his mental barrier that he momentarily activated...

Dyeing his forehead with cold sweat as fear instantly reflected from his irises.

"F*CK! This is not the ability of normal a Peak Foundation realm!'

"Don't tell me, a Core Formation realm being was hiding in this forsaken place!?'

Thinking of it, the huge man couldn't help but curse under his breath, feeling that it suddenly became tricky... Knowing how hard it was to face a Core Formation realm being. Moreover, with their divine senses that were akin to all seeing to a certain extent, catching the other party off guard was simply a dream!

"I hope that the area of his/her divine senses was quite small... Or else, the chances of me escaping this place is almost impossible.'

He mumbled within his mind before using one of the mental abilities that he comprehended himself, increasing the aspect of his instinct- allowing him to gain basic premonition of danger so he wouldn't be caught off guard!

***

Boom!

Soon, after running and evading for more than a minute, the irises of the man suddenly constricted- feeling his instinct abruptly send flares toward him as he immediately summoned the incorporeal metallic book from the void, opening its pages hurriedly before activating the skill within its second page...

"Replication... Light Descend...'

In an instant, the time momentarily stops- making the scene of the items floating around mesmerizing in one's senses.

After ten seconds, the temperature around began to rise, making the thick grey fog around twist violently, as if about to evaporate in the next second- making the visibility much lower in the process... Followed by that, the bland grasses that encompass the area of 50 meters around him began to wither one by one, making their appearance similar to decayed yet crispy leaves.

Around, the cracks within the countless concrete niches began to widen one by one, releasing a dry smell that no one could describe- causing one's stomach to churn although the reason was unknown.

Ding!

[ Light Descend (Epic +1) (One time uses): Momentarily summon a light that was comparable to the corner of a Sun, causing around to suffer from intense heat and drought... Moreover, it inexplicably makes attacks that target the host weakened by an amount, akin to plants losing water...

Activation: (None)

Effect: +5 Light affinity, +25 speed, +10 strength, and +10 heat resistance...

Note: Only work for 10 minutes. ]

...

Seeing this, the huge man didn't hesitate further before rushing into the far distance, still couldn't rid of the intense premonition of danger within his being... Making his mind extremely active due to the impending doom he was sensing within his consciousness, as if even with 2 weakened epic skills... he wouldn't be able to escape the disaster that would strike him!

Kekeke~

As he was racking his brain, hesitating whether to also activate the third skill that he replicated or not, a dreadful laugh that originated from the unknown depths of the abyss, negating most of the temperature summoned by his second replicated skill suddenly resounded within his senses- drilling within his consciousness, bringing him unprecedented horror that he couldn't explain nor describe...

This... What kind of abomination is this...

Seemingly gaining a bit of his sense, the huge man stiffly raised his head toward the far horizon, instantly beholding the figure of an extremely pale man that was not different from a cadaver that hadn't been soaked in formalin, exiting the fog beyond as he leisurely dragged a seemingly toy that he found from the alley...

Soaking in crimson blood, leaving a trail of fishy smell as some of its flesh visibly dangled around, making the surrounding grasses sway upon being grazed by its squishiness- making the irises of the huge man in the distance greatly constrict, unable to think further as he beholds the madness unfold in front of him... Making his huge figure shake in fear as he instinctively took a step back.

Gulping audibly as he suppressed the urge to throw up on the spot, knowing that it would cost him his life if he did that...

"This, this is madness... No, he was simply the epitome of madness!'

Gritting his teeth, he immediately faced his back, planning to run in the opposite direction so he wouldn't need to face the madman in the far distance... Unfortunately, upon tilting his head toward his back, the huge man immediately abandons his wishful thought, seemingly seeing death upon discerning countless red eyes staring at his pitiful figure...

Salivating as if couldn't wait to consume his flesh...

"Keke~ I thought online delivery already ceased to exist when the apocalypse arrived...

"I didn't expect that foods often deliver itself toward my little abode... Moreover, I didn't even need to pay for it!'

Leo whispered wickedly, hacking one of the limbs of the being he was dragging before tossing it toward the huge man in the distance... Causing him to instinctively evade as the bloody limbs fall toward the bland ground tens of meters away...

Making the countless crimson eyes hidden within the thick fog glint dangerously, making the void churn as the abominations began to flock toward the severed limbs...

Feasting toward it, consuming it all in a matter of seconds- sending unprecedented chills toward the huge man as he beheld the twisted dolls consume the flesh with their mouth, seemingly unaware of what they were doing since he could sense their innocence...
