The seed did not need consuming, since you cannot consume light!

The moment it touched his tongue it diminished into a dark light then entered his body like a soul.

The shadow like darkness was surrounding the creature like a cloud, coming out of his mouth, nose and ears. It seemed to be healing his wounds as well and cracking his skin as if it were glass.

The process took only 5 minutes, yet what stood in front of him was a whole different being entirely.

The small goblin was now about 6 foot, larger arms, legs and muscle tendons.

Dark veins were all over his entire body, yet his stare seemed even more lifeless than when Eric was beating him up, despite all the power surging inside him, he almost felt like he was a living dead.

“ Thats some scary shit boy, what if he attacks me or something “

The dark goblin kneeled in front of Eric and the description window appeared.

** Corrupted Goblin ( Mediate Rank ) **

A goblin species that consumed the seed of corruption, his strength, intelligence and stamina have increased by tenfold.

He now serves the Lord of Corruption.

Would you like to name this creature?

“ Naming is the coolest part but let me check his skills first “

-Active Skills : Aura of Corruption

( Advanced Grade )

Using the power of corruption inside him, he can channel its energy to reinforce himself .

** Seeing as it was the first Corrupted creature in this world, the system awards him with the legendary skill ‘ Predator ‘ **

- Predator ( Legendary )

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

In return for increased hunger, upon consuming the flesh of his foes he becomes stronger .

+20% Chance of stealing their skills regardless if they are active or passive!

“ What’s with this overpowered bastard? His predator skill could probably make him the boss of this entire continent if allowed to grow”

As expected, Eric was one of those people jealous of his own underling’s achievements.

“ From this point forward your name shall be Dracus “

The giant goblin stood up with what appeared to be an attempted smile and said .

“ Thank you lord “

His voice was eerie and scary, Eric had still not forgiven this bastard for wanting to eat him.

“ So tell me Dracus, why did you try to attack me “

“ Sorry my lord, but the oracle told us you would be appearing here and ordered us to ambush you upon your arrival “

- hmm so the tree falling had nothing to do with it, seems like this world’s inhabitants were given information of our arrival.

“ Why would you listen to this self proclaimed oracle. Can he see the future ? “

“ He sees visions my lord, and we have to obey him cause he is the chieftain of our village “

Listening to him say that, his lips curved into an evil smile.

Dracus feared he had answered wrongly, he still feared this maniac lord of his !

“ A village you say, how many goblins are there in your village? “

“ About 48 my lord, its 50 with the Chief and his Human Wife “

“ A human wife? Are you telling me this world has humans prior to me coming here “

“ Plenty my lord, there are 8 human kingdoms in this world, one is not that far from here.

The chief has maps and books and knows more than me, maybe you should ask him “

He had already developed evil plans to overthrow the chief and enslave these goblins.

The thought of appearing as a friend and suddenly stabbing the oracle in the back, then poisoning the goblins or feeding them seeds of corruption.

With one fell swoop he would obtain a territory and strong underlings.

Seeing the lord’s face becoming more and more unsightly, the terrifying Dracus started to shake from fear.

“ Relax Dracus, you just need to follow my instructions “

“ I will do as you bid my lord “

“ Good “ Eric answered satisfied.

He liked such answers , he liked people doing his bidding. Their pitiful reason for existing should be solely for obeying him in the first place.

“ My dear Dracus, I need you to tie me up and drag me to your village “

“ Did you hit your head my lord “

“ I did not you fool but I shall hit yours if you dont do as you’re told “

Dracus was unaware of what Eric seeked doing, yet he was not in a position to question orders .

Seeing his complexed expression Eric decided on a better approach.

“ Hand of Corruption “

The shadowy arm materialised and Dracus started to fear for his life.

He imagined balls of shadow materialising in the gigantic arm and he threw one of those at the feet of Dracus.

Dark smoke oozed out of the ball and upon inhaling it the giant goblin passed out immediately.
