16 Trying new skills!
After calming down, Leo stared at his 9,650 horror points in silence after purchasing the new 3 skills on his skill tree.
'I'm back at less than 10,000 horror points. It's really hard to accumulate horror points.'
Sighing deeply, knowing that his horror points would soon decrease greatly. Leo opened his tree skill, planning to upgrade the certain skill to the maximum level.
"Although it hurts seeing my horror points decrease by huge amounts. Having a physical body is a must!"
Ding!
[ Upgrading the "Physical Body of Soul" to Level 2 will require 500 horror points! (Accept/Declined) ]

[ Upgrading the "Physical Body of Soul" to Level 3 will require 1000 horror points! (Accept/Declined) ]

[ Physical Body of Soul - In the correct time and in the correct place where the spiritual is at its thickest, the host would gain a semi-permanent body.

Skill Cost: Already at maximum level!
Note: Legends that Spirits could gain a physical body when the spirituality in certain places is at its thickest. ]
...
Having the urge to cry again, Leo looked at the description of the "Physical Body of Soul" in pure happiness. Although it could only last for 8 days, having a possible physical body is already great.
'Hah... Unfortunately, I don't have any idea when I could possibly gain a physical body.'
Shaking his head to drop the unnecessary and negative thoughts inside his head. Leo stared at his 2,150 horror points in stillness, hesitating whether to upgrade his skills or not.
After pondering for a while, Leo slightly closed his eyes and sighed.
Sigh...
"Never mind, I might need to save up some horror points in case I find some useful scroll outside."
Smiling lightly.
Finally, in the mood to continue his journey to find humans and also to earn horror points while increasing his strength in the process, Leo stared at the marching zombies in the distance dangerously, his imaginary lips curled upward.
Wanting to try his new skills, Leo immediately turned invisible as he passed through the glass window in front of him, flying toward the marching zombies in excitement.
Here I come!!
***
Swishh...
Green smoke filled the air as small stones with weights of no more than 100 grams flew toward the zombies in the distance, hitting them hard, especially their heads.
Tong!
Groan.
A zombie without a lower jaw got hit by the flying stone only to got stumble for a while before continuing to move forward.
Soon, only after 5 seconds passed by when the last stone hit the jawless zombie's head, another flying stone followed and hit its head again causing its head to swell a little as the zombie fell toward the ground.
Thud!
Groann...
Not long after, stone after stone struck the head of the jawless zombie. Causing its head to finally crack and eventually die due to the stones.
Ding!
+5 Exp!
Hah...
Leo imaginary takes a deep breath upon finally killing the zombie with his "Telekinesis" skill. Although he managed to kill the jawless zombie in less than 50 seconds, Leo is not satisfied with the skill.
Not only does it consume a huge amount of mana that almost causes his mana to dry down. Its power itself is also not that great! Moreover, It is too hard to manipulate things!
"Unfortunately, I don't have a knife. It would be a great combination if I had a knife while using my "Telekenitic" skill on it."
Sighing slightly, Leo didn't immediately activate his "Telekenitic" skill again as he spread his "Wisp of Poison" around the zombies in the short distance.
Soon, after waiting for a long while, a zombie beside him suddenly scratches its face, leaving a bloody mark on its face...
With a sticky green liquid pouring down its cheek, the zombie continued scratching its face.
Groann...
Irritated that the itchiness didn't vanish, the zombie's sharp nails penetrated the thin skin on its face as it furiously scratched it. Causing some of its skin to fall off to the ground...
Gulp...
"All my skill is crazy... Always makes me feel shiver whenever I see their effects!" Leo thought inside his head as he cast his gaze toward the zombie inside the area of green mist.
Although they remained unaffected by the skill, Leo could vaguely feel that some of them had already begun to show strangeness.
Some of them began to groan with difficulty and others started to scratch their skins. As for the other effect of the poison, Leo couldn't see their internal organ if it was bleeding nor check their strengths if they already weakened.
Soon, another minute passed by. Leo's mana pool already dropped by less than 10 as he patiently waited for the effects of the skill to be deeply rooted in the zombie's body.
Good enough, not long after his mana dropped by 8, the first zombie finally dropped to the ground as it puked green disgusting liquid and impure blood with a mixture of flesh on the ground. It puked a couple of times before its body stopped moving.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon killing a Level 8 zombie! ]
+8 Exp!
+100 horror points! (Higher-level zombies had high intelligence compared to low-level ones!)
Ehh!?
'I could finally increase my horror points again?'
Indeed, although the level 8 zombie is still brainless, it has already begun showing signs of intelligence. Unfortunately, they are still dumb.
Trying to see if he could really gain horror points after killing a Level 8 zombie and above Leo shrinks the area of his "Wisp of Poison" skill, only focusing on one Level 8 zombie in the distance.
Soon, before his mana reaches 1 point, the Level 8 zombie finally collapses to the ground, shaking slightly before finally stops moving. Its eyes although dull, show signs of fear.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon killing a Level 8 zombie! ]
+8 Exp!
+100 horror points!
"Indeed, hahaha. I could finally start earning horror points!" Leo laughed out loud as he passed through the ground, quickly moving towards the small hut in the distance.
Intending to take a rest before continuing his hunt!
