Torug's POV(Alex),
[Ding!]
[New skill Unlocked]
Looking at the notification in front of me, I couldn't help smiling to myself. although the others might see my actions as sadistic, I didn't care.
'After hours of testing, I finally made another skill' I opened the notification quickly for the full description.

It was completely understandable but the number of people that I could corrupt was really small, luckily it could be leveled.
I then looked at the full interface, starting with my status...

Duration of corruption defers from target to target, depending on the quality of the Target's soul and Evolution path.
First thing I noticed was that, there were a few changes on my status page. Apparently creating these skills had given me a lot of Exp and I'm almost at level 30.
Even successful corruption gives Exp,
'now I'm really looking like an Evil Boss' I mused, then the next thing I noticed was my alignment had changed from the usual chaotic evil to Lawful Evil.
I scratched behind my ears while thinking, 'So I wasn't wrong in my earlier conjecture, it's changeable.' the next strange thing on the user interface was a greyed out quest,
['For the Queen'!]
[Deal with the Grole Queen...]
[Rewards: Depends on your Actions...]
It should have been cancelled, considering the queen is dead but it only looked like it was paused.
'That reminds me, Janetta should be on her way back now but no news yet'
With that thought, I decided to put inspecting my tabs on hold and spoke to Urim.
"Urim, take Brogg...we are going to Govan" I pointed at the unconscious Hobgoblin, but then I noticed the timer by the side of his face.
it Said a day and four hours remaining for a complete corruption.
"Are we going to kill him?" Moz asks.
"No, if all goes well, he would be of great help to help to us" I replied with a grin before jumping into Alpha's back.
'I've been thinking of going to Govan for a while now'
Govan was Nazu's old territory and is also the area that has been supplying us with wild potatoes. Aside from hiding Brogg there, I intend inspecting the place to see if it's still useable, after all with the way we're progressing, we would have to start expanding soon. And that direction is the most ideal, as I have 3 spots in the Laboni region.
As we ran through the forest and made a bee line towards Govan, it took us almost Two hours to get there. Now the place was overrun by weeds and bones of the dead.
Most of the houses were destroyed but I only needed one to keep Brogg, after all Greyeye would be at the village tomorrow, can't take any chances.
Once I'm done with Greyeye, I'll go to the periphery of Thann's end to see if I can find a trace of Janetta.
While having such thoughts, we entered Govan but then we saw something rather interesting.
Grrrrrrr
The Wolves began to growl and Urim spoke through gritted teeth, "Humans..."
"..."
Yes, a group of Humans were presently in Govan and they seemed to have made it their base of operations for what seemed to be balmost a week now.
The leather coated humans around the burn fire were shocked by our appearance, they had been trying to make lunch.
I quickly inspected them and found that, they were all at the first circle of evolution, except their leader who was in the second circle.
Another thing worth noting was that, they were all members of Black purse, the same as the guy that was killed at Sker's village.
'Investigation party?'
[Name: Cail Ridge
Race: Human(Rogue)
Level: 27(Order of the second circle)
Power rating: 18999+1000(Equipment Bonus)
Relationship: Member of the Black purse, vice leader of Black purse (Thann's end Branch).
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral.]
"Lo...Lord Cail!! Orcs!!" a short looking man yells, obviously shaken from me and Urim's aura, Moz's aura has always been subtle and hard to pick, added with the fact that, they hadn't looked at her yet.
The so called Cail, remained silent while looking at me, but I couldn't see any fear, there was only caution.
I became curious, what's giving him confidence in facing two second circle Orcs and soon the answer to my question came.
"Lord Shev isn't back yet, what do we do?"
"No use panicking, we can only buy some time, where's Eva... you speak Orcish, ask them what they want!" Cail orders and openly told me there plans, I could only touch my nose subtly.
I already know what you want to do and you still expect me to follow up with your play?, Most likely this Shev is somewhat stronger, if not more powerful. 'I'll just end it now'
"Moz, watch Brogg" I urged Alpha forward while saying.
"..." Although she was silent, she nodded.
I then turned to Urim and teased, "It has been a long time since I stretched, do you think you can compete with me? who kills the fastest?"
"hehehe...I won't fall for that trick" Urim says before charging with his wolf howling.
"Eh? what does he mean by that?" I asked Moz who shrugged, Alpha grunts aggressively, obviously eager to kill these humans.
I said with a laugh, as I urged Alpha forward, "might as well get them Exp" .
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
