A stream of information went into my head beside the small description screen, it was somewhat detailed information about what a corruption gate is, especially whenpared to the little knowledge Long told me.
Corruption clouds would find a space inhibited byrge group of creature, start by corrupting weak minded individuals of themunity, drive them to either corrupt or kill others. In the end, when the strongest of thatmunity gets corrupted, a corruption core would form by collecting the corrupted essence of the creatures who died in the corruption''s first advance.
The corruption core would then start terraforming the ce and even turning it into an independent space, which can be essed from a ck cave like gate. The corrupted beings be soldiers who kill whoever enters turning them into corrupted minions, while the core umtes their essence, though it stays in a secluded room in the deepest part of the gate protected by the strongest corrupted soldier, namely a corrupted king.
If the core isn''t destroyed before umting enough essence, the gate would flood out the corrupted to attack another area, turning the ce into a danger zone.
Only then did I understand what did I aplish by finishing off the corrupted thunder lion, or else that forest would have turned into a terrifying corruption gate, it would also unlikely to be a one or two floor one….
Then why would people enter this ce and die to feed it with their essence? I''d say it''s ''Birds die for food while humans …...'' but…. That''s a bit too cliche.
Anyway, once the corruption core is obtained and purified it would turn into a spatial tool that has tons of essence in it, a normal one-floor gate core''s price could go up to 10~100 gold.
Even if major forces prohibited entrance to these gates, the core would still umte essence on its own and explode sooner orter. So on the contrary, major forces encouraged what they called ''Dark cave extermination'' to get rid of these seated time bombs.
As for the location I was currently at? Just outside of the room where the corrupted king and the corruption core resided, what most people call a ''Boss Room'' in most games.
ording to the information, this was a gate that was on the verge of explosion, so turning back right now wouldn''t be a right option

The best choice right now was to y the boss and stop the core, only then would I be teleported out of the gate automatically while stopping a local disaster from breaking out.
I summoned [ Lightning Cloud ] as I unhesitantly pushed the small door open and stepped inside…

A small pir holding arge pitch ck orb, and to its front there was a ck throne with a ck heavy armored knight holding a greatsword seated on it. Everything waspletely ck, and it would have been hard to see anything if not for Long''s light.

Other than giving me detailed info about this ce it even allowed less limited appraisal of opponent, all I could say was that it was deserving of its unique rank…
The death knight which seemed to have noticed me stood up from his throne as he shed towards me. Normal perception wouldn''t be able to spot him, his agility was great. However,pared to mine it was a bitcking.
Just as he was less than 0.1m away, he seemed to be using ''Sword smash'' to finish me in one hit, I simply dodged to the side, delivering a sword strike supported by Thunder vibration!
