Chapter 90: It's Nothing but a pipe dream.
Sigh.
Revealing pity in his eyes, Leo couldn't help but sigh deeply... Shaking his head before mumbling in a low voice.
"I'm really soft-hearted."
Staring at the figure of Skeleton #1 twitching violently on the ground as it created a clanking sound of horror from time to time, Leo silently retracted his gaze from it before again fully activating his restrain (rare) skill...
Causing the twitching of the unconscious silver skeleton on the ground to weaken visibly before finally stopping after a while.
Ding!
[ Congratulations upon causing a horror inside one's dream for the first time!
+1, 000 horror points!
+2 free attributes! ]
Ding!
+2,500 horror points! (Gain from the horror of Skeleton #1)
This... Nevermind.
"Since you dare to make a move to your summoner and also planning to make me your slave...
"Then I will cast a nightmare toward you every night... Hehehe,"
Seeing the horror points he gained after casting his nightmare skill, Leo began to laugh creepily as he stared toward the skeleton on the ground with glinted/smiling eyes.
Soon, after laughing for a while, Leo again fell silent before asking the system inside his mind.
"How is it system?"
Ding!
[ Host could spend 5,000 horror points to again cast a brand toward the souls of the two skeletons, causing them to be unable to betray you for the time being!
Note: Only possible due to you being their summoner and due to the horror energy that you gave them at the early stage! ]
"Would they still betray me in the future?"
Seeing this, Leo again asks the system in confirmation, wanting to avoid future possible trouble.

Clank~ (N~no...)
In an instant, seeing the pale face of Leo, Skeleton #1 couldn't help but shriek loudly akin to a being being butchered alive, causing Leo to feel a slight hint of guilt toward it.
Although Skeleton #1 is wrong this time, Leo probably overdid his punishment, causing it to instinctively feel fear after seeing him.
Still...
"There's no next time, I hope you won't plot and make mistakes in the future..." Leo said as he untied the rope on his waist, approaching Skeleton #1 before patting its head slowly.
Seeing this, Skeleton #1 instinctively avoids the approaching hand of Leo in pure fear, still not forgetting the face of Leo when the Seed of Sin blooms within him.
...
"This..." Seeing this, Leo awkwardly retracted his hand, smiling weakly before standing up.
I probably overdid the Nightmare... Did he dream of me in his nightmare?
If that is the case, then it makes sense.
Leo shook his head as he moved toward the distance, letting Skeleton #2 help to calm down Skeleton #1.
***
Clank... (I... Sorry)
Soon, after half an hour of comforting, Skeleton #1 weakly approaches Leo, apologizing for what it did previously before hurriedly running toward the distance.
Although it sincerely apologizes to him, Leo only notices the deep fear hidden in its eyes as it quivers slightly before it runs toward the distance to avoid him.
...
Sigh... I didn't know if what I did was correct or wrong.
Life is... really confusing and full of mistakes, I thought everything I did makes sense... But I seem to overdid everything.
I thought my life was set upon gaining a system... But, sigh... I just noticed that everything I did had consequences.
"It's really confusing."
Leo shook his head as he stared above the fissure, contemplating about the countless mistakes he had made in the past few weeks, feeling slightly lost.
"Huff~ mistakes are mistakes and future is future... I should do my best to avoid creating the same mistakes in the future to avoid this uncomfortable feeling from happening again!"
Leo eventually shook his head, planning to practice the thread skill to bury the distracting thought within him.
