Never in his wildest dreams had Xander imagined that he would have to go toe to toe against an Infernal Hound in the real world.

Fortunately for Xander, Gamkin's parting gift had turned the tables in his favor. It now became clear to him that the Corrupted Cards were far more powerful than any card in his inventory. The only downside at this point was the fact that each Corrupted Card could only be used once. And once played, the card would simply cease to exist, disappearing forever.
