Dungeon Hunter (던전사냥꾼)

Chapter 39: Corruption

-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.

Until the effect of Corruption ends, you can't use all the features of the system.

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.
