Dungeon Hunter Chapter 128:
Chapter 128: Corruption (1)
| -Are you sure you want to use Corruption (Ex Epic)? |
This was the first time it had asked me again . However, my decision didn’t change .
I would use it . I slowly opened my mouth .
| -This is the final warning . Corruption . . . |
"Corruption!"
Chaeeng!
Okullos’ clone aimed for this gap . It became nervous at my shout .
| -The demon ‘Randalph Brigsiel’ has used the skill Corruption (Ex Epic) .
You have temporarily gone beyond the protective limits of the system . The lock has been released .
Be careful . Demons outside the ‘protection’ won’t be free of surveillance from heaven . |
| -Be careful .
Be care . . . |
The message windows continuously rose . There were many warning messages . There was no way of knowing what going beyond the protection of the system meant .
However, I began to change as soon as Corruption was used . It felt like something was breaking through a blockage .
My body trembled . Two horns appeared on my forehead and enormous wings popped out from my back . I grew fur like an animal and my nails became longer . My fair skin was stained black . Strange tattoos were carved on my body . They looked like glowing wounds .
And . . . Infinity Armour was transformed . A dark magic power . It was absorbed and changed the look of the armour . The armour and helmet changed so that they didn’t cover the wings and horns .
Usually a message window would appear now, but nothing rose .
‘I am out of the system . ’
I also couldn’t check my status window . I realized that I was now out of the system .
I looked around slowly .
My presence alone overwhelmed everything around me . Okullos’ clone showed no more signs of attacking me . Even Contegonom and Mago were looking at me .
"I feel strange . ”
That’s right . It was really strange . I couldn’t explain this feeling .
The movement of the wings seemed natural . The changes didn’t feel awkward at all . It was like I had found my true self .
At the same time, I received a great enlightenment .
“…This is a true demon . ”
Ahh!
It was electrifying .
Every demon had questioned it at least once . Why didn’t demons have wings like angels?
The demons looked too similar to humans . Sometimes demons would have horns like Ariel Diablo, but those were rare cases of blood and magic power mixing .
So demons hated humans in particular . It was because their appearances were too similar . There were strict differences in power but not appearances . They didn’t want to admit it . That’s why the demons rejected everything to do with humans . They hated even looking at them .
Now . . . I think I knew the answer .
I was a true demon at the moment . The demons lost their horns and wings for some reason, becoming human-like in appearance . Due to Corruption, I managed to remove those constraints .
‘This corruption isn’t corruption . ’
Unlimited magic power . It was confidence that I could dominate everything .
I was definitely not a fallen being .
"The original appearance of the demons? That is nonsense, Randalph Brigsiel!”
Okullos gritted his teeth . His relaxation had disappeared . There was infinite hatred in the eyes that looked at me .
"Why are you so excited? I don’t care if you dismiss it as nonsense . ”
I wasn’t trying to convince him that this was ‘real . ’
Okullos couldn’t accept it . He was staring at me with hate, but there was also envy mixed in .
He knew . Thanks to Naturalization, he instinctively knew that my current form was the origin of demons .
He felt like he had been deprived . No matter his mental state, he was still a grand duke . He hadn’t lost his pride as a demon . It was natural for him to think it was unfair and to become angry .
“You . . . broke the taboo!”
"Okullos, you are the one who broke the taboo, not me . ”
“That appearance . Alternatively . . . you are using some type of trick . Evolution? You have crossed the line and truly accomplished evolution!”
Okullos .
He was hung up on evolution .
I knew about it . Just a moment ago, I sensed Okullos’ true nature . This wasn’t his real character . A need to change . . . shortly after, he came up with the possibility of ‘evolution’ and crossing the line .
I developed so rapidly that it wasn’t strange he mistook it for evolution .
Soul assimilation, demon predator, maybe . . . little by little, he realized he had gone down the wrong path . Therefore he summoned the shadow for ‘answers . ’ Things fell into place .
“How pathetic . ”
My perception about Okullos changed .
He was just a maniac . It wasn’t insanity . There was no luck and he told a mocking story at the Demon World Auction . But there was a misunderstanding . He struggled to find a ‘source . ’
It seemed to have transitioned into an ego trip . He started to crave evil and war .
I had felt sympathetic because I still thought of his past self . Even though I didn’t like the grand dukes, I still felt some respect towards them .
In my previous life, he hadn’t left a distinct impression . He obtained the first world tree . He showed no motivation and even seemed to neglect becoming the devil .
I was the turning point in his attitude . Due to the potential I showed, Okullos took a completely different route from the one he took in my previous life . Okullos was correct to be suspicious about me .
In my previous life, I had never shown this power .
“What is with those eyes? Put them away . Or else I will take them by force . I will completely erase you from this world!”
"Your journey is over, Okullos . ”
It was a long journey .
Okullos was tiresome . This was his limit . His desire was getting out of hand . Before that happened, I would help him find peace .
Okullos’ worries would be eased . I would settle this once and for all .
"Shut up!"
Okullos shouted and moved . He ignored Lightning God and his clones . It was indeed a desperate struggle . He was doing everything possible to kill me .
However, I had regained my true nature so he couldn’t reach me .
Huoong .
I flapped my wings . I seemed to know what to do from now on .
The two horns on my forehead were a source of magic power . Different magic power attributes could be substituted .
Once the magic power swept out from the horns, it was changed to ‘moonlight magic power . ’
Haien Moon . Now it was possible to use 99% of the sword technique .
Chwaaak!
Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword moved brilliantly . The movements weren't just to mislead the enemy . Moonlight Falling became stronger the more I used it .
"My eyes can pierce through the world! Why can’t I read your movements?”
Okullos had the skill ‘Eyes of the World (Epic) . ’ It was a skill that managed to grasp and reflect back Mind’s Eye .
But . . . this time?
Sukeong!
One clone was removed . He tried to partially strengthen the clone but it was no use . My wings touched a crumbling clone . The clone was melted by the magic power contained in my wings .
"I can’t read it . . . !”
Okullos bit his lips .
“Okullos . It is unfortunate but you don’t know everything about me . ”
This could sometimes cause failure . There were many cases .
Okullos also knew this, making him unhappy .
"Shut up!!”
Okullos recalled the one remaining clone . Soon, many large trees emerged from its body .
The momentum seemed like it would consume the entire floor of the dungeon, as the branches and roots moved like whips .
Kwang! Kwang! Kwakwang!
It couldn’t be blocked .
I spread my wings wide .
I flew above the tens of thousands of branches . It would have been impossible in the past, but now I had wings .
I flapped my wings and floated in the air . My speed was faster than the whips and I soon reached Okullos’ heart .
“Now . . . rest in peace . ”
Puok!
I stabbed his heart with Wrath and the Emperor’s Sword .
