Hi! I decided to show the unedited version of the chapter I gave the candidates to edit so you will get reference and comparison to what changes they did.
Corrupted. Beings who have infected and mixed with a large amount of demonic power and negative energy and become a twisted and near unkillable being that almost always lost its mind and turned into an unstoppable killing machine that only seek to kill whichever living being it will meet.

Demons. Having excellent battle instincts and physical powers and constant will to conquer and rule, there aren't many who could defeat them easily in the same stage.
Now, what would happen if these two races were to be combined to a single creature who possesses the Corrupted endless power and the mind and instincts of demons?
Some say a living nightmare, some will say a being that should be denied of it right to exist, some will even say that it could be a creature on the same level of dragons and devils.
But if you ask a certain individual then he will only groan and say a single sentence.
"This is proof that too many people lack creativity in a fantasy world."
Nex murmured to himself as he charged to the hulking figure.
Over two and a half meters, grotesque black-purple muscles everywhere the eye could see, red-purple eyes and completely purple three horns that constantly radiated an aura that rose dread and disgust in people.
'I mean come on! Not only did they always chose this kind of grunt instead of other kinds of combinations that may be more helpful, but they also made it look the most cliche-like possible!'
At the incoming Nex, the creature grinned in disdain and roared while imbuing demonic power and negative into his voice creating large shockwaves that obliviated wherever they passed, aiming to destroy every part of Nex.
"Geez, they are different in both their personas and the way they were made, yet all of those creatures are acting the same way because of their stupid pride."
'[Mana Art: Wave Breaker]'
Even before the hybrid smiled, Nex already knew what he was going to do and along with a sigh he put his hand forward and activated a spell that created a vibrating mana wave that upon meeting the hybrid shockwave, canceled it at the price of disappearing as well, shocking the previously smug hybrid.
"How can it be!? No one could deal with this attack with your level of strength! What kind of twisted being are you!?"
"I don't want to hear that from someone that it is his definition!"
While shouting his retort Nex was about to reach the hybrid but the latter was prepared for it and the moment Nex reached a few meters from him he shot his hands forward and causing them to split into countless nauseating spears made from bones and muscles.
'[Fusion Art: After Step]
But then a thing that shocked the hybrid happened, instead of being skewered by the spears Nex continued to run forward through them as if he is a ghost and appeared right in front of him about to swing his sword.
"Damn it!"
The hybrid retracted his hands back to their original form as he took a few steps back and tried to lift his hands and streamed as much energy as he could in order to block the attack, only the sword to go right through him as if it was made of air.
"What?"
"Got you there aren't I?"
"!"
The hybrid managed to only slightly move his body before Nex appeared behind him and swung down his sword cutting his left arm along with most of his shoulder, missing his heart only by a few centimeters.
"Argh!"
Rapidly backing away, the hybrid managed to get some distance before Nex managed to land another hit. And once he got away enough, he stared at Nex with a gaze full of hatred, wishing to tear him to pieces once his arm regenerated. But to his shock, the wound that he thought that would heal in a short time, instead stayed in the same state and even showed signs of worsening!
"How a mere human like you can actually inflict damage upon my perfect body!"
"Well you know, you take a little of this," Nex lifted his sword as if to show the hybrid, and at the next moment, he disappeared from the senses of the latter without any previous warning.
And before the hybrid managed to react Nex appeared in front of him with a smirk.
"And do a whole lot of those!"
'[Martial Secret: Raining Stabs]'
And as if being stabbed by not just one sword but over a dozen of them, the hybrid torso was filled with wounds including where his heart just was a moment ago and he was blasted backward and smashed strongly on the ground dozen of meters away.
*Bang!*
"Time to finish this."
But Nex didn't waste any more time and charged toward the fallen hybrid in order to finish it for good. He knew that although the severity of what his attacks did to the creature, as long as the hybrid heart and core are intact, the abomination would regenerate back in a short time.
'[Fusion Art: Solar Sundering]'
Closing on the hybrid, Nex slashed his sword that shone in golden, searing, glow on the hybrid, looking like a holy war god.
"Don't underestimate me human!"
*Boom!*
But suddenly before Nex sword managed to reach the hybrid, the seemingly half-dead hybrid suddenly roared and a dark-red and purple exploded out of him and actually managed to stop Nex blow and blast him back!
Nex flew back an over four dozen meters and only with using his crazy senses he succeeded in landing on the ground on his two feet. But that doesn't mean he didn't come out the explosion unharmed, a moment after he landed his face suddenly paled and a large amount of blood came from his mouth and trailed down from the mask. Just this explosion shook his organs and cut down the time he could use the mask to no more than a fifteen seconds.
"Motherfucking hell!" Nex cursed as he stared at the current state of the hybrid while he tried to stabilize the situation of his body.
Although most of the hybrid injuries didn't heal, he was exhibiting power greater than ever and he was now standing in the middle of a purple-red projection of him that stood tall at almost four meters tall!
"To think there is a hybrid willing to combine his heart and core with such a low level of strength!"
Corrupted-Demon hybrids have only two vital spots the heart that supply and heal the physical body and represent the Corrupted part and the core that is housing the demonic power and mana and represent the Demon part.
And when both of the heart and core combine the hybrid get massive power that increases their power to a whole different level! But although the benefit it gives no hybrid will dare to do it casually because unless they have a very high level of strength they will most likely explode and be destroyed from a large amount of power they suddenly got.
"To think a mere human brought me to this state," the hybrid said with a vicious glare full of fury, "Whether I will survive it or not, you will experience the cruelest death possible!"
12 Seconds
"Don't worry about it," Nex calmed his breath and checked his HP before staring back at the hybrid and tightening his grip on his sword as his eyes glow silver.
"You will not survive it."
10 Seconds
"...Haha! You are doomed!" the hybrid laughed madly and pointed his horns at Nex as a globe of energy began to gather there using all the power the hybrid had. He was going to destroy Nex soul so that the man won't get to even enjoy his afterlife!
8 Seconds
Nex changed his posture and held his sword so that the tip touched the ground on his side as if he is going to slash it upward and took a deep breath. What he was going to use was more than just dangerous.
7 Seconds
'[Mana Revival]'
6 Seconds
'[Mana Art: Flame of the Eternal Will]'
Not just the sword but all of Nex burned in imposing fire that seemed like it could burn through whatever blocks it.
5 Seconds
'[Martial Secret: Momentum of the Unstoppables]'
Nex body began to give out the feeling of a mad beast that is about to break free all of its chains.
4 Seconds
'[Soul Sword First Art: Eradicate]'
The sword started to shine in a silver glow that merged perfectly with the gold fire and created a silver-golden flame that seemed like it would incarnate even the strongest of beings.
3 Seconds
"Haha! To think you didn't try escaping and instead stayed here!" the hybrid jeered as the sphere of energy was about to be unleashed.
"But that doesn't matter you will die either way!"
And then the sphere was unleashed and released a gigantic conical beam of energy that wherever it passed it reduced everything it touched to ashes and then to parts so small that they can hardly be said to exist. And worst of all, not only the beam grew stronger and bigger, but it also seemed like its center part was fixated on Nex and moved directly to where he is!
2 Seconds
'Always the same cliche type of final attack.'
Nex sighed internally and then his gaze became sharp and serious as his eyes turned completely silver, and along with a roar, he took a powerful step forward and slashed his sword to the sky as if he wanted it to cleave through both the horizon and the heavens.
"[Triple Fusion Art]!"
Nex barked as his slash shot out a burning wave of silver-golden sword energy that seemed to go on endlessly. Although the wave was only 5 meters in width and didn't grow more than that like the beam, it instead moved at a much faster speed than that of the latter and also continued to grow higher and higher as if it isn't satisfied with the earth and want to reach the sky as well.
"[Sword Of The Relentless Will]!"
And at those words, Nex sword reached the point it was vertical to the sky. And then the sword wave momentum and speed accelerated as if it was awakened, and at several times its earlier speed, growth rate, and strength it met the hybrid beam.
And then the world shone in the light of unclear color.
0.5 seconds left until HP reach zero.
