Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Officially the Ruler
Seojun sat on the edge of the bed, staring out at the quiet room, his thoughts swirling. Just then, his system spoke up.
[Host, there's no need for someone to fill in the role of Abyss Lord. You can live peacefully on Earth with your mother while still being the Abyss Lord]
Seojun raised an eyebrow then remember something "I think I receive an Item like a key before"
[Yes, Host.You can manage the Abyss without being physically present here, Host. Activating the title will allow you to take control remotely. Please take a look at the detailed description of the Abyss Lord title.]
Curious, Seojun opened his status window and clicked on the Abyss Lord title. Instantly, a list of skills and abilities appeared before him.
The first thing that caught his attention was the reward of immortality. When the title was granted, it also bestowed immortality upon him but it need one thing to meet to truly become immortal, marking it as one of the title's most powerful benefits.
Seojun stared at the word "immortality" , huh? Whether it was good or bad didn't really matter to him at this point. What mattered most was that he was still with his mother.
"As long as I'm with her, that's enough," he murmured and look at the others.
Realm Manipulation: Control over the physical and magical aspects of the Abyss. Seojun could reshape the land, enforce laws, and maintain order without ever stepping foot in the Abyss.
Lord Aura: When activated, this powerful aura would spread across the entire Abyss, letting every creature feel the presence of their rightful lord. It would calm unruly creatures and command their respect.
Dark Enhancement: A skill that enhances all dark-based attacks and abilities, making Seojun much stronger in battle, especially against creatures from the Abyss.
Abyssal Authority: Grants full control over the Abyss Realm and its inhabitants. With this skill, Seojun could enforce his will on any creature within the Abyss, ensuring total obedience and maintaining balance in the realm.
Abyss Lord Crest: A mark that would appear on body when activated. With this crest, he could fully access all of his Abyss Lord abilities. It acted as the key to unlock his other skills.
Abyss Whisper Earring: Seojun could hear and communicate with creatures in the Abyss, no matter where he was. The creatures' thoughts, concerns, and actions would be known to him.
Ebon Mirror: A special mirror that allowed Seojun to see into the Abyss from anywhere. He could watch over the creatures, make changes, and intervene if necessary.
[Aside from Ebon Mirror, You already have the Abyss key. Using that you can go in and out in the abyss, Host.]
Seojun nodded that he remember that, then studied the descriptions carefully. The Abyss Lord Crest seemed to be the core of his power, and once it was activated, he could use all the other skills. Lord Aura would ensure that the creatures of the Abyss knew their lord was in here, while Realm Manipulation would let him maintain order from afar.
He leaned back on the bed and rubbed his chin. "That's convenient."
[Exactly, Host. You can ensure order while staying on Earth and living a peaceful life. Would you like to activate the Abyss Lord Crest now?]
"Yeah, let's do it."
Seojun sat back on the bed as the system continued.
[Host, the Abyss Lord Crest will appear on a random part of your body. You don't get to choose where it manifests,] the system explained.
"Random, Alright, let's do it," Seojun said, feeling the anticipation build up.
A moment later, a system notification appeared before his eyes:
[Loading Abyss Lord Crest... 45%... 78%... 100%. Done.]
[The Abyss Lord Crest has appeared on the right side of your neck, Host,] the system notified.
Seojun instinctively touched his neck, feeling the faint warmth of the newly formed crest. He nodded to himself. "Right side, huh? Not bad."
Standing up, Seojun walked over to the terrace of his room and looked out into the distance. The air was still, but he knew that was about to change.
"Activate Lord Aura," he muttered.
Instantly, a wave of dark energy flowed out from him, surging like a tide across the Abyss Realm. It was as if the entire realm shuddered in recognition of its true master. Every creature, from the smallest to the mightiest, could feel it—the return of the Abyss Lord.
In Nerathiel's domain, a pale, Biino demon named Malara stood frozen as she felt the powerful aura wash over her. Her eyes widened in awe as she whispered,
"It's Lord Seojun! He finally defeated the Abyss Lord!"
Meanwhile, in the Castle of Nerathiel, a gathering of powerful clan lords felt the shift in the air. In the middle of their meeting, the aura hit them like a wave, and they all reacted.
Zholga, a half-woman, half-serpent, hissed as she recoiled. "This power... The Abyss Lord has returned."
Vrok, the bull demon, snorted and slammed his fist on the table. "It's real... Lord Seojun commands this? How is this possible?"
Kazrak, a lion demon with a mane of flame, growled under his breath. "So the rumors were true. Grimzark is no longer the Lord. The Abyss has a new ruler."
Sorgar, a skeleton lord with hollow eyes, simply stared into the void. "The balance... has shifted. We must tread carefully now."
Balor, the one-eyed demon, sat quietly, his single, massive eye narrowing. "Seojun... The human who now holds all the power. "
As Seojun stood on the terrace, he could feel the weight of his authority spreading throughout the Abyss, reaching even the farthest corners. The monsters would now know that the Abyss Lord had truly returned. He clenched his fist, satisfied with the result.
"Now they understand who's in charge."
Seojun took a deep breath and activated his next skill while they leave and he ride to Silla.
"Let's find Grimzark,"
The air around him shimmered as the Ebon Mirror floated before him. With a thought, he gazed into it, and the reflections revealed different areas of the Abyss.
[Grimzark is cunning, Host. It may take a long time to find him,]
"I know. He probably felt my aura and is now hiding. I can sense he's still in the Abyss,"
He saw monsters kneeling, murmuring, "Abyss Lord! Abyss Lord! Abyss Lord!"
"This should fix the balance now," he muttered, satisfied.
[Yes, Host. You just need to use Realm Manipulation to seal off the holes,]
'Let's do that first' Seojun concentrated on the mirror, envisioning the various holes leading out of the Abyss. As he thought about each one, the mirror displayed their locations clearly.
[You can use Realm Manipulation directly through the mirror, Host,]
"That's good," Seojun replied. He focused on the holes, and with a wave of his hand, he activated Realm Manipulation. It felt like shading over the holes, and he watched as they sealed shut.
"Do all the holes lead to Earth?" he asked.
[No, Host. Five of the holes lead to Earth, while the others connect to different dimensions. But you don't need to worry; Silla and Huno can handle any monsters that escape.]
Seojun nodded, feeling reassured. He mounted Silla's back, ready to fly to the hidden portal back to Earth. Huno flew beside them, barking in agreement.
[I'll let you know once I find out who the fallen god is trying to escape, Host. It might take some time,]
"No, we're going to, Let Grimzark enjoy for a while"
Huno barked again, affirming Seojun's decision.
Using his title, Seojun was able to pinpoint the fallen god's identity. As he shook his head in disbelief, a name slipped from his lips.
"Sirenith"
'That pervert woman?!' both Huno and Silla thought, as they heard the name.
