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 when compared to the little knowledge Long told me .
Corruption clouds would find a space inhibited by large group of creature, start by corrupting weak minded individuals of the community, drive them to either corrupt or kill others . In the end, when the strongest of that community 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 place and even turning it into an independent space, which can be accessed from a black cave like gate . The corrupted beings become soldiers who kill whoever enters turning them into corrupted minions, while the core accumulates 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 accumulating enough essence, the gate would flood out the corrupted to attack another area, turning the place into a danger zone .
Only then did I understand what did I accomplish 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 place 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 accumulate essence on its own and explode sooner or later . So on the contrary, major forces encouraged what they called 'Dark cave extermination' to get rid of these seated time bombs .
Aso 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 .
According 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
[ Time till outer invasion ] : [ 59m: 1s ]
The best choice right now was to slay 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 pillar holding a large pitch black orb, and to its front there was a black throne with a black heavy armored knight holding a greatsword seated on it . Everything was completely black, and it would have been hard to see anything if not for Long's light .

'OP skill? . . . '
Other than giving me detailed info about this place 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 flashed towards me . Normal perception wouldn't be able to spot him, his agility was great . However, compared to mine it was a bit lacking .
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!
