Moonlight seeped into the room through the gaps in the windows as Evan stared at his status in silence for a moment before closing it and deciding that he was still dreaming.

He laid back on his bed and covered himself with his blanket, drifting into sleep for few more hours, however, when he woke up at daybreak and looked at his status once more, the result was even worse.

"I'm not dreaming, neither am I in a illusion...I actually got weaker."

Kayla who was asleep on Evan's head woke up with a yawn. She then turned her gaze to Evan's status board and exclaimed.

[Hmm...?? Master got weaker!]

Evan did not bother to think about how Kayla could see his status board. He suddenly felt strength leave his body and saw the corruption percentage increase by 1%.

"What the hell is this?!!!"

If there wasn't some level of sound proofing in the inn he was lodging in, then the whole building would have definitely heard his scream just now.

[Calm down Evan, I can resolve this for you.]

The voice of the ancient high demon, Pride, rang out in his head, telling him to calm down but that was simply impossible for the current Evan.

The status effect he was receiving was something he had no knowledge of, not from the game, not from the system archive and not from the memories of the previous hero he possessed.

He knew of something similar belonging to a certain dead 'Demon king's right-hand man', but even that did not weaken the user by this much.

Neither did it mess with his mind like it was doing right now.

Naturally, there was no way that Evan would calm down so easily.

Not until Pride manifested her physical body and smacked the shit out of him.

**CCRACKLEE!!!

[You hit Master!!]

Kayla growled in anger as tendrils of lightning burst out of her body. Spears of lightning manifested all around her and she motioned for them to attack Pride.

However, before she could, Kuro leaped out of Evan's shadow and restrained her before scolding the young great spirit.

[Forgive me for this my lady but that would be most unwise.]

Before Kayla could push him off, a wave of darkness spread out from his shadow and wrapped around the bodies of all the people present in the room.

Their sights darkened and their bodies sank into the ground, swallowed by the darkness.

Outskirts of Geto City

Great Western Empire

November 7th

Year 1051

In the area right outside the cave that once served as the base for the Mountain Bandits gang, a pool of darkness spread out from the shadow of an enormously tall tree that towered over others in the area.

Four beings emerged from this darkness, a quartet consisting of a high demon, two spirts and a young human looking boy.

"Huh?"

Evan let out a surprised voice as he lost his balance and fell to the floor. He felt pain searing through his right cheek as he tried to understand what was currently occurring.

"I ...was in my room..."

"And your spirit pet brought us here."

Hearing Pride's voice, he looked up to see the ancient high demon looking down on him. To her left, he could see an obviously enraged Kayla being held down by Kuro who seemed to be losing strength rapidly.

"What's going on...?"

[Master?!]

Kayla's expression brightened up as she heard his voice, her body glowing with golden light as her form morphed into that of a 50 cm tall golden wolf.

She then used her larger size to instantly overpower Kuro and push him off her. Wrapping her tail around his body, she flung him to the side and pounced on Evan's body.

[Master! You're fine right?!]

Evan who was still lost on what was happening was unable to stop the wolf from pouncing on him and sending him back to the ground.

Meanwhile, Pride was staring at Evan with narrowed eyes as she tried to understand the cause of his current listlessness.

'Even earlier, he seemed like he was about to have a panic attack. Even if he was stunned from his level reducing, his reaction was still too weird. Perhaps...?'

Upon arriving at a conclusion, Pride enhanced her body with magic power and grabbed Kayla's wolf form by the tail.

"Get off him for a moment."

She pulled the spirit off Evan's body and flung her to the side. She then went on to pull up Evan's shirt to see if her suspicions were true.

"As I thought..."

[What are you doing to Master?!]

"helping him."

[Get of-Huh?]

Even Kayla who had climbed onto Pride's back and was about to bite her neck using the wolf form's sharp jaws couldn't help but let out a surprised voice.

Her eyes caught sight of a purplish red mark that was visibly spreading across his torso.

Pride paid Kayla no mind and coated her palm with a similarly coloured flame, she then placed her palm on Evan's stomach and chanted one word.

"Absorb."

The purplish red blight that was spreading across Evan's torso, began receding towards her hand, surprising Kayla who was watching the entire process with widened eyes.

"And... done."

The blight was sucked into Pride's body through her palm on Evan's torso. The moment it disappeared, Evan jerked up and the light of life returned to his eyes.

"What the fuck is going on here?"

Hearing the question that would only be asked by the 'normal' Evan, Pride let out a small chuckle as she replied.

"You were losing your shit, in more ways than one."

[Master?]

"Huh? Kayla? Why are you a wolf?"

The young great spirit was about to reply to Evan's question but Pride cut her off and told Evan to check his status board.

He looked at his status and saw that everything was normal, it was at this point that the memories of the earlier events that led to the current situation came pouring back into his mind.

"The corruption is gone..."

"Yes, it is gone from your body."

Evan looked up and saw a purplish red ball hovering above Pride's palm that was coated in similarly coloured flames.

"That's the corruption, right?"

"Yep. It was a pathetic imitation of something I am quite familiar with. Nevertheless, the current you who is not even a Master level existence is very susceptible to it.

"I have an idea but I'm gonna ask either way. What is it?"

"Demonic energy."

Pride's reply was expected but Evan couldn't help but feel a bit of shock upon hearing it. Pride allowed him to take the reality in as she crushed the orb of demonic energy in her palm.

After this, she turned her gaze in the direction of Kuro who silently crawled back into Evan's shadow and thought that the young spirit needed a bit of rest.

'Teleporting all of us from that city to the middle of this forest in one trip must have taken a lot out of him. He even had to take that lightning brat who was actively resisting the teleportation too.'

She shook her head to get those thoughts out of her mon before turning back to Evan and saying with a serious voice.

"Evan, the demonic energy that corrupted you. It came from Geto City."

"What?"

"To begin with, just what do you know about Demonic Energy?"

Hearing Pride's question, Evan summarised all the knowledge of demonic energy he possessed and told it to Pride.

Energy in general, can be called the strength and vitality required for sustained physical, mental or supernatural activity.

Demonic energy, on the other hand, a powerful source of energy but some form of malevolent traits. It was an energy source that worked in the same way that mana or magic power did.

In some ways, demonic energy can be called the magic power of demonic creatures.
