After putting up a good fight the man finally fell. Even though the ending wasn't satisfying, because a certain someone interrupted it.

My gaze moved towards a black wolf that was still chewing on the leader's missing limb. His saliva was splashing everywhere one meter around him, preventing me from confiscating his new toy.

' How did he even escape the inn? '

I thought while eyeing him running around with a limb in his mouth.

' He didn't cause a ruckus did he? '

Shaking my head and worries away, I turned towards the leader's corpse. I had an expensive sword to retrieve.

Even though it was worth a fortune I wasn't planning to sell it, at least for now. I wanted to put in a Player Auction House, but now the bids would be low, since players don't know the real value of such a weapon.

Picking the sword from the ground I raised it in the air.

A double edged blade seemingly made out of ruby connected to a black handle made out of leather. The weapon looked beautiful. Inspecting it from both sides I noticed slight engraving on the side of the blade.

~ ꍏ ꌗꅏꂦꋪꀸ ꎭꍏꀸꍟ ꌃꌩ ꍏ ꁅꂦꀸ, ꍏꌃ꒒ꍟ ꓄ꂦ ꅏꂦꀎꈤꀸ ꍟᐯꍟꈤ ꍏ ꌗ꓄ꋪꂦꈤꁅꍟꌗ꓄ ꀸꋪꍏꁅꂦꈤ ~

I could only shrug my shoulders at such engravings. I couldn't recognize them even with knowledge from my previous life.

Putting the sword in my Inventory I turned around when I saw Fenrir showing me his teeth.

No it wasn't to me... It was for someone behind me!

Dashing away I felt something slightly scratch the back of my leg. Running a dozen meters further and making sure I'm safe I turned around to face my new opponent.

The previously dead leader was now standing, although not on his own. Black tendrils have created new limbs that were connected to his chest lifting him up to 9 feet in height. His skin was greyish and his previously red eyes were completely dark. His arms had huge black claws with some kind of liquid covering their surface.

Even though I was experienced, I never expected this to happen.

' How the fuck did a middle Tier corrupted appear in this rather weak thief! '

I couldn't help, but curse. Corrupted are creatures despised by nature, even Demons hate them. They are formed by One's selfish desires or can be created by the game. Even players aren't save from corrupted taking over their dead body.

What the leader of thief's became is merely a puppet controlled by a real corrupted. Usually corrupted spawn in their own realm - The Desert of Corruption, a wasteland with no animals, greenery or water.

Real Corrupted are creatures all different in shape from animals to walking trees. They can feed themselves on negative emotions coming from realms all around them. They seek to constantly take over more and more land to be closer to the source of such emotions.

The Real Corrupted had to be a pretty powerful one to create a Middle Tier Corrupted Human. The Strength of the Puppet depends on the Host and the strength of the target. Since the leader wasn't strong it indicated how powerful the Corrupted was.

' Probably a King Tier One '

A quick thought passed through my head as I saw the Corrupted Leader's gaze land on me. His expressionless face changed into a smile that made me slightly shudder in fear. The being's mouth had four rows of teeth.

I couldn't even force myself to call it a human anymore. Such appearance was nothing else, but monstrous.

I heard a quiet growl leave Fenrir's mouth as he lowered his body preparing to leap at the enemy.

Seeing my companion ready to fight I also clenched my staff letting the Demonic Flame cover its surface.

I was very happy, since after burning all the dead bodies, I could finally use the flame on my weapons. Even though I still couldn't launch it I was more than happy with the progress.

I was praying that my previous life experience with swords would allow me to win in this fight, if not... I'll lose two levels, but receive a Magical Sword. Even though the death seemed not as bad as before I wasn't planning on dying.

Screech...

The Corrupted leader screeched seemingly tearing apart all of his vocal cords. An aura of death was sent in all directions probably engulfing the whole city and informing everyone about the Corrupted one's presence.

Before I wasn't sure If I'll survive, but now, with the help of Fenrir we should be able to stall the being until the City guards came to our aid. It was even surprising that nobody interrupted my fight with the gang. We were fighting for at least 15 minutes.

Smirking at the stupidity of the creature I started creating two Shadow Blasts.

' Such power, but no Intelligence '

I could only shake my head. In my previous life the Mid Tier Corrupted could be compared to a Lv. 50 player.

Click... Click...

Both Shadow Blasts powered by Shadow Energy were launched towards the Corrupted, who didn't even move.

Boom... Boom...

Two explosions shook all the ground nearby, sending shockwaves around and even shattering the windows of some houses.

Even though my most powerful spells hit the enemy I felt that something was wrong. The Corrupted are stupid, but by no means weak, their instincts should be top-notch.

" The only reason for him not to dodge is... "

My quiet voice was cut off as a Black leg emerged from the smoke created by the explosion.

" That the attack didn't have any effect on him "

I finished my sentence taking a dozen steps backwards. This was no Mid Tier Corrupted, It was at least High Tier One!

' Why the hell is a Chaos Tier Corrupted taking over such a weak person! '

I almost shouted seeing its huge frame fully emerge from the smoke. The grin the creature had was still visible on its face, or rather he couldn't change it since all of its muscles were frozen in place. The being was completely powered by Mana.

Gesturing Fenrir to wait for my signal I lowered my body preparing to leap away from the enemy.
