Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Save people

Seojun watched his mother anxiously. He didn't want her to witness the violence he was about to unleash or risk her getting traumatized. Summoning Huno would only recognize him and if Huno' original form it'll just scare her, so he decided on a different approach. He walked over to his mother and opened a shimmering portal beside her.

"This is a way outside. Go now before it's too late,"

"No! How can I just leave the people here? I can't just let the others die before the awakeners arrive." Seoyang muttered as she look around. Seojun was taken aback—this was the first time he'd seen his mother like this.

"Then what do you want?" he asked, his tone cold even though deep inside, he wanted nothing more than to hug her and get her out of there.

"Do something with the monsters. I can feel you're strong and We'll gather others to the safest area. I can't just leave to save myself and we can find our way out." she said seriously. John, still coughing, adjusted his cap, and Seoyang helped him to his feet.

"We have to save the others," John said, standing shakily but resolutely beside her.

Seojun frowned, took a deep breath. 'What am i gonna do to you Mom?'

[Follow what she said Host, I've been with Lady Seoyang before and she's not the type of person to let others die in front of her without doing anything, Even old age won't stop here]

Seojun scanned the area. In the distance, a massive mantis grabbed a man who was running, bit into his neck, and began devouring him and look back to them.

"Then leave, hurry. I'll handle this," and the portal dissapeared, Seoyang smiled softly at him.

"Thank you! Your mother would be really proud to you. Be careful after we got out we'll immediately call for backup. Let's go, John!" she said, and the two ran out of the supermarket, heading for safety.

Seoyang saw a kid and immediately grab him, they began helping the others.

'What would you do if it's me? Your son?' he thought,

[It would be different, Host Lady Seoyang no doubt will sacrifice herself for you,]

"I know, That's why i didn't tell her it's me" he muttered,

Just as they left, another huge mantis appeared in front of Seojun, its deadly scythes raised. The insect hissed, ready to strike.

[Host, defeat the boss and this will be over,]

Seojun touched his earring and muttered, "Protect Mom, and don't get caught."

On the other side, Silla, hidden in Seoyang's pocket, responded in a confident tone, "Madam will never get hurt because I'm here, Master! You can rely on me."

Silla manipulated his weight so Seoyang wouldn't notice his presence.

As Seoyang and John ran, a mantis started flying toward them, its wings buzzing loudly. Just then, Silla peeked his head out and shot an ice beam, the freezing blast hitting the mantis directly. Its head exploded in a burst of frozen shards, its glowing eyes shattering.

"As long as I'm here, Madam is safe!"

Seoyang and John gathered everyone they could on the second floor of the mall. They moved away from the supermarket, hoping for safety in a wide, open area with a good view outside. But something strange was happening that none of them could explain.

Every time one of the giant mantis-like monsters got close, its head would suddenly explode before it could reach them. At first, they thought it was just luck, but it kept happening. The group, confused and scared, watched as the mantises dropped, their heads bursting for no reason.

"What's going on?" John asked, looking out at the glass wall. "Why are they dying before they can get near us?"

Seoyang shook his head. "I don't know, but I'm not complaining. We need to find a way out."

They had gathered as many survivors as possible, but the exits downstairs were blocked by wreckage and swarming monsters. The second floor felt safer for now, but no one knew how long that would last.

Suddenly, Seoyang looked at the glass wall and nodded at John. John understood immediately.

"Back away, everyone!" he shouted.

The survivors quickly stepped back, confused. John's hands began to glow as he punched the glass wall, which was part of the mall's structure. The glass shattered, sending shards flying.

"Jump!" John yelled.

Everyone hesitated, murmuring among themselves. "Are you sure?" one survivor asked. But John grabbed another guy and threw him through the broken wall.

"Ahh!" the man screamed, but just before he hit the ground, he started to float and descended slowly. Everyone stared in shock and then realized Seoyang did it.

"Jump one by one! Don't worry, you're in good hands! Hurry if you don't want to die!" John urged.

The group glanced at each other nervously. An elderly man shouted, "I have a granddaughter waiting for me! I can't die! Young lady, take care of me!"

Seoyang nodded. She readied her hands as the elder jumped. Before he could hit the ground, he floated down gently.

"Whoa! I'm alive! Jump, everyone! Hurry!" the elder exclaimed, excitement in his voice.

"What an energetic old man," Silla thought, covering them by shooting small ice shards at the mantises.

"Still, Master needs to know this. Madam is not weak as I thought," he thought again.

Here's the next chapter in basic English, focusing on Alex, Alexa, and the scene outside the mall:

---

Outside the mall, guards were distributed and forming a circle, keeping watch for any threats. Alex and Alexa were preparing to enter the building when they saw a group of people approaching. They quickly moved to meet them, ready to provide safety and first aid for those injured.

As they got closer, Alex and Alexa's eyes widened in surprise. "Auntie?!" they exclaimed in unison.

Seoyang smiled slightly at them and stepped back a bit to join John, the guy with her.

"You're inside?! Are you okay, Auntie?!" Alexa asked, looking worriedly at Seoyang's body for any signs of injury.

"No, I'm fine. Nothing happened," Seoyang reassured her, trying to calm her down.

"Where is Seojun? Is he inside?!" Alexa asked, her voice rising with concern as she was about to run into the mall.

But Seoyang grabbed her arm gently. "Seojun doesn't know I'm in here. Please, let's keep this for now," she said urgently.

Alex and Alexa glanced at each other, unsure but understanding the need to stay quiet.

"Now save the others inside! They need you," Seoyang insisted.

After a moment of thought, Alex and Alexa nodded. They knew that saving the trapped people was more important than talking about Seojun right now.

"Let's go!" Alex shouted, determination in his voice. He led their guild toward the entrance of the mall, ready to face whatever dangers awaited them inside.

As they pushed through the entrance, they steeled themselves for the challenges ahead, knowing they had to save those in need.
