Chapter 53: Advancing, the Greedy Altar.
Boom!
The thin barrier couldn't resist the attack of mana anymore.
Under the heavy attack of the mana, the barrier issued a crispy cracking sound similar to a breaking thin glass before it finally collapsed with a boom!
Under Leo's watch, the mana breaks free from the barrier before instantly flashing with brilliant pure white light, blinding Leo's senses and illuminating his mind with blinding light.
Followed by breaking through the thin barrier, Leo's consciousness entered a magical state.
The feeling of elation/bliss within him erupted without hindrance.
One by one, the cells on his body began to absorb the Qi that successfully transformed from mana, strengthening every aspect of his body and vitality.
Besides that, Leo's soul began to experience a subtle change, becoming more solid and much darker in the process...
...
Boom!
Outside of the building, at the same time when Leo destroyed the barrier between the Mortal and Foundation realms.
A sudden loud booming sound resounded above the sky, followed by a dark looming cloud. Forming a spiral of darkness above the building where Leo was advancing.
Crackle... Boom!
Boom!
Lightning began to flash by above as it illuminated the surrounding building with blue and dark light.
"This..." Roland, Jake, Kristine, and the group raised their head in unison. Greatly shocked by the sudden appearance of the phenomenon above.
Although they already expected that a strange phenomenon would appear if Leo advanced toward the Foundation realm, the occurrence of thick dark clouds that almost swallow the sky is beyond their current understanding.
Since Leo has a class job that leans toward potion, the phenomenon that they expected to appear is related to life, wood, or fire. But who would expect that...
"Why this..." Kristine exclaimed as she stared at the rolling clouds above in fright.
The group still hasn't awakened from their confusion when the ground suddenly quakes, causing a small crack to emerge.
Not long after the earth finished quaking, a strange small flower with a dark color body and a maroon-colored flower similar to a rose began to bloom one by one. Enveloping the surrounding area in the blink of an eye.
"This... Isn't this a Grave Dark Roses!?"
"..." Leo.
"This..." Leo's eyes almost pop up after reading the notification. He couldn't fathom and understand how horror points could be used as a sacrifice.
However, even if he didn't know how and why it was possible. Since it could increase the grade of the cultivation technique he would get after sacrificing it. Leo didn't dawdle at it for too much...
"Accept!"
Not hesitating at all, Leo immediately accepted.
In an instant, after accepting the deal, a baleful and dark aura, coming from an unknown space began to flow out from Leo's body before flying toward the altar at an alarming speed.
The altar, as if sensing something good began to greedily swallow the baleful and dark aura Leo released.
-1,000 horror points.
-1,000 horror points.
-1,000 horror...
Leo's horror points began to decrease by a huge amount every second as the altar swallowed it whole greedily. Making the surrounding air buzz due to the altar not letting a single horror point to slip under its swallowing.
-1,000 horror points.
Ding!
After a whole ten seconds of swallowing, the altar suddenly halted, causing the surroundings to regain its silence.
...
..
.
"That's it? Where is my cultivation technique?" Leo stared at the empty altar in doubt and confusion.
After waiting for minutes. As Leo was about to curse toward the altar. The altar which was silent awhile ago suddenly released a weak buzzing sound before booming with intense black light. Quickly swallowing Leo's body.
This!
Caught off guard, Leo could only close his eyes as he patiently waited till the light retracted.
"I already, spend most of my savings... If you don't give me something good, believe it or not, I will do my best to destroy you!"
