Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Since he could only regret his actions in the past, Leo, upon shaking his head, immediately focused his mind on creating puppets.

Taking out the materials he had accumulated from the forbidden cave—from the corpses of the bone-eating worms that easily reach 10 meters in length, to the other mutated abomination originating from the bone mountain, and to the lonely mutilated flesh race—creating a small mound of meat beside him.

Tap- Tap- Tap-

Their fresh blood continuously dripped from their still-fresh wounds, forming a pond beneath them that lightly reflected the canopy—slowly being absorbed by the bland earth, causing the chilling grasses within the encompassing of the cemetery to sway joyously under the illumination of the moon.

Feeling the elation of the bland cemetery through their faint connection, Leo only unfolds a light smile, stretching his arms before starting to process the corpses of the beasts...

Extracting their essence through his "Extraction" skill, planning to use them for potion concoctions in the future while leaving things that he might use in puppet creation.

As for items that he didn't consider usable, Leo would feed them to the bland cemetery and to his puppets that gained consciousness—maximizing the usefulness of the corpse to a great degree.

With all of the corpses reaching the core formation realm, with a few of them even reaching the peak, a piece of their flesh could be considered a great tonic to foundation-level beasts, not to mention to his low-level puppets.

Although most of the puppets who had gained soul and consciousness weren't complete—seemingly missing a trace of fundamental truths—reasoning to their basic absorption of the spiritual qi present within the heavens and earth incomparable to normal beings...

Consuming the flesh of high-level beings would still help them significantly, allowing their level to increase by at least one or two upon complete digestion.

...

Shing~ Shing~

Raising his pointed finger, a thread of spiritual qi, as thin as the threads of a spider web, materialized within its tips—waving within the atmosphere for dozens of seconds before dividing into 5 parts, further reducing their thickness before piercing the thick hide of the corpse in front of him with great familiarity.

Although the threads of spiritual qi seem fragile to the naked eye, their sharpness and durability were actually comparable to elite items, easily drilling toward the corpses in front of Leo without any hindrance!

Stitching them based on his imagination, slowly forming an image of abhorrence.

...

Unknowingly, time passed by.

The moon above, which was illuminating the encompassing land, already vanished at one point, hiding beyond the fine cracks that slowly yet continuously widening—successfully plunging the land into complete darkness.

Beneath, within the place filled with blurry epitaphs... Where the grasses often create a disturbing sound of rustling, the silhouette of a pale man could be seen seriously stitching the corpses around him.

The small mound of flesh beside the man already dwindled to half, while the thick blood that was continuously dripping from their wounds previously already got sucked dry by the bland land, only leaving pale corpses devoid of essence behind.

Huff~

"A high-mid grade puppet, not bad for the start."

Heaving a sigh of relief, Leo stared at the three-meter-tall puppet, with a physique comparable to a tank in front of him, in satisfaction.

Although he used almost half of the beasts' corpses in order to create a puppet that specialized in defense, Leo still feels a strange satisfaction within his being... With this puppet, he would feel secure leaving the bland cemetery for a long period of time.

"Unfortunately, I still had no idea how I could fuse my comprehension of rules toward them; without rules, their potential and strength couldn't be fully utilized."

Looking at his puppetry knowledge skill that barely reached the quasi-mastery, Leo shook his head before focusing on the puppet in front of him...

Ridding the thought of upgrading it to the next level, fearing that his mind might not be enough to cover itself from the huge influx of knowledge and comprehension.

To distract himself from the strong impulse of using his Medallions of Forceful Upgrade, Leo hurriedly cast his soul scan to his newly created puppet—wanting to glean its information and see the skill it currently had.

...

Nodding his head upon reading the skills of the meat puppet, Leo couldn't help but feel envious of its health stats... Making him silent for a while.

"Its health was higher than mine by more than 50. However, considering its other attributes, the puppet's overall stats could only be discerned as average."

Gazing at its attribute stats that were a bit higher than the silver rabbi, Leo's satisfied expression instantly reverted to normal, lightly shaking his head before commanding the meat puppet to start roaming the bland cemetery.

Huff~

Taking a deep breath and regulating his mind, Leo again starts processing the rest of the corpses, planning to create them into puppets in one go.

***

Slash~

At the same time, when Leo was busy creating puppets...

Tens of miles away from the bland cemetery, a man, wearing a loose robe, could be seen holding a wooden saber with his left hand... Raising it above his head before casually swinging it toward the direction of the trembling beast in the distance—swiftly cutting it into half with the faint sword qi.

"Tsk. This beast at the late stage of the core formation realm didn't even manage to temper my sword; I guess I could only find beings at the peak stage."

Clicking his tongue in disappointment, the man shifted his gaze toward the far horizon, humming in a cold tone before continuing his journey.

If he remembered correctly, the core formation realm devil that he met a month ago seemed to come from the same direction, making him curious about the reason why it fled that time.

Remembering how he spent much time chasing the cultivator with red skin—almost taking him a couple of days—the man couldn't help but lick the corner of his lips in excitement, causing the wooden saber he was holding to tremble slightly.
