Damn, I Awakened With A Horror System!

Chapter 281 Forbidden Items! (4)

Other than that, there's also the faint golden light of holiness that spreads into the surroundings, carrying a comfortable warmth that cleanses the impurities within one's mind.

"An epic forbidden item and an epic skill scroll that was contaminated by holiness...'

Looking at the two items in his hand in complete silence, Leo couldn't help but remember their descriptions in his mind.

The forbidden item was actually a normal item that was tainted by the chaotic rules, qi, and thoughts filled with the malice of the beasts that died.

Their lingering obsession fused with the items or scrolls in the middle of their creation, causing the item's strength to greatly increase; however, at the time, the items also carried negative effects that were detrimental to the user of the said items and skills.

Simply put, it was a double-edged sword!

The only thing that made it great was that the edge that was pointed toward the enemy was much sharper than the other side!

To the point that a lower realm being could possibly kill a cultivator above its realm if the forbidden item or skill was used at the right time!

As for the item that was contaminated by holiness, opposite to the forbidden item and skill scroll that was tainted by malice, it was created using pure rules and qi, making their strength increase by a considerable amount.

In addition, they also carried faint traces of luck.

Even though no one knows the full capabilities of luck, the basic uses of it are enough to make one's overall failure decrease by a certain amount.

Although not stronger than forbidden items in terms of overall strength, it was still beyond the capabilities of normal epic items!

Furthermore, unlike forbidden items, items that were tainted by holiness didn't contain negative effects! Allowing one to fully use them without any fear.

"I wonder what would happen if I fused a skill that contained holiness and a forbidden skill."

Feeling amused with his thoughts and curious about the result if he really fused them, Leo then excitedly read the description of the items within his grasp.

"I could only wear this item in combat; furthermore, I couldn't wear it for more than an hour!"

Imprinting this knowledge into his consciousness, Leo then chooses to learn the other item on the spot...

Instantly reducing his horror points by a staggering 25,000 points, causing the skill scroll within his other hand to suddenly discharge a blinding radiance that hurriedly dispelled the filth lingering within the atmosphere.

Following that, the skill scroll began to mysteriously float in front of Leo, turning into ashes after a few seconds before drilling into his consciousness with incomparable speed.

Akin to water breaking through the dam, Leo's mind suddenly got swept by a huge amount of warm yet unknown energy, starting to repair and strengthen its foundation with swift speed.

Furthermore, the lingering and chaotic negative thoughts secretly hiding within his consciousness that originated from his past trauma began to dissipate at visible speed, turning into something nutritious that further strengthened the foundation of his mind!

Slowly, as time passed, the incorporeal barrier existing within Leo's mind began to thicken—a testament that the resistance of his mind drastically increased compared to the past!

"This... I could even feel my foundation stabilizing! Although it was still far away from my goal, it already reduced the time I needed by 25%!"

With a hurried breath and shocked expression, Leo opened his eyes, gazing at his character panel with mixed emotion as he couldn't help but become tempted to hurriedly fuse the Mental Fortitude skill with the others in order to increase its grade!

Unfortunately, gazing at his skills, Leo could only shake his head in regret. Experience new stories on empire

Knowing that he currently has no passable skills that he could fuse toward the latter.

Well, even if he had them, if their grade didn't meet his standards, he would only waste his precious attempt of fusing skills to get a slight increase in the overall strength of the Mental Fortitude skill.

"I could only wait patiently till I found a passable one; for now, I should do my best to stabilize my realm so I could further absorb the lingering negative emotions within the firmament."

Given the time, Leo knew that the negative energy within the atmosphere would fully dissipate in a week, making him sigh in regret thinking about how many levels he could increase if he fully absorbed them.

Unfortunately, his current realm wouldn't allow him to do that, or else he might explode due to indigestion.
