Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Slime Vs. Shadow Wisp

As the crowd continued to gather in the arena, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement. The entrance exam was being live-broadcasted to non-awakened people, who could only watch through the accounts of their awakeners that recording it. Phones were held up, and the comments flowed in.

"Slime vs. Shadow Wisp?" one viewer read aloud, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Is the slime's master an idiot? Didn't he see the difference between his slime and the Shadow Wisp?" another friend replied, shaking his head.

"Poor slime," a third viewer chimed in, their tone laced with sympathy.

"The slime is going to get killed! Wait, what happens to the slime then?" one of them wondered, his eyes glued to the screen.

"I think that's why he's not scared," his friend responded thoughtfully. "His slime will die in battle, but it'll come back to life again. If it does, he can't form a contract with it anymore, though. He'd have to find another familiar."

"Geez, that's sad," the first viewer sighed. "Forming a contract with a slime just means he has low mana."

They nodded in agreement, their faces reflecting a mix of concern and curiosity about the battle unfolding before them. They continued to watch as Seojun stood confidently beside Sui, who was getting ready to face the Shadow Wisp on the other side of the arena.

As the countdown began, the viewers could only speculate about what might happen next. Would Sui manage to surprise everyone, or would the odds prove too great for the little slime?

As the battle was about to start, some of the people watching got frustrated.

"Ugh, it's boring. Let's watch someone else!" one of them said, already switching to another live stream.

"Yeah, we already know who's going to win," another agreed, turning off the match and looking for other participants.

But Seojun stayed focused on the task at hand. He appraised the familiar in front of them.

Name: Shadow Wisp

Rank: C

Description: It can blend into shadows, becoming nearly invisible and difficult to target. Known for its quick movements, it uses stealth and agility to outmaneuver opponents. The Wisp can absorb light to create areas of darkness that disorient enemies, enhancing its tactical advantage in battles.

Seojun narrowed his eyes. "It's shadow versus shadow, but it's only one rank higher than Sui," he muttered.

The Shadow Wisp floated in the air, moving smoothly. It looked intimidating, especially with its insect-like wings that gave it an otherworldly presence.

The Shadow Wisp resembles a large, floating insect with a body made of dark mist. Its shape is similar to that of a giant moth, with translucent, glowing wings.

The master of the Shadow Wisp stood confidently with a wicked grin. He looked at his familiar and said,

"I only care about the mithril so I enter this Entrance exam. Once I defeat that slime, The guilds will notice me and recruit me hahaha! They will run and fight to get me!"

He laughed darkly, his eyes glinting with excitement. "Let's show that slime what real power looks like! Shadow, destroy it! Make that little creature suffer! I want it to feel hopeless before it loses!"

The Shadow Wisp floated in place, its dark form pulsing with energy. It seemed to understand its master's words, ready to unleash its power against Sui. The master continued,

"With every hit, make it cry! Let everyone see how weak it truly is!"

He couldn't help but smirk at the thought of the attention he would get. "Once the battle is over, I'll be the talk of the arena. They'll all know my name!"

As the crowd began to gather, the master prepared for the battle, eager to prove his strength and claim the mithril prize.

In the center of the forest sanctuary, the judges Gideon, Thomas, and the others felt a dark energy rising. They sensed the Shadow Wisp master ill intent, which made them uneasy.

"What are we going to do about him?" one judge asked, worry in his voice.

"We'll observe and see if he deserves to have a familiar," Thomas replied. He didn't like how the master used his familiar for greedy reasons.

He believed everyone should treasure their familiars and treat them like family. The way the Shadow Wisp's master acted felt wrong to him.

"He's not even interested in this; he has another purpose," Gideon commented, watching the scene unfold.

Suddenly, the Shadow Wisp's master shouted, "Kill that slime, Shadow!" The Shadow Wisp shot forward with incredible speed.

At that moment, Sui's instincts kicked in. "Kyuu!" he squeaked as he jumped back, narrowly avoiding the first attack. The Shadow Wisp flew straight at him, its shadowy tendrils reaching out like dark claws.

He crouched low and watched the Wisp closely. When it lunged again, Sui rolled to the side, just missing the attack. The ground shook slightly as the Shadow Wisp crashed into the spot where he had been standing.

"Kyuu! That was close!" Sui exclaimed, bouncing back up. He focused on the rhythm of the battle. The Shadow Wisp was fast, but Sui had agility on his side.

The Wisp flew around, trying to catch Sui off guard. It struck again, but Sui jumped up, flipping over the shadowy creature. The crowd gasped at his quick movements.

Sui felt the adrenaline rush through him. He dashed left and right, weaving through the air as he dodged the Wisp's attacks. "Kyuu!"

But just as he thought he had the upper hand, the Shadow Wisp blended into the shadows, becoming nearly invisible.

Sui's eyes widened in shock as he realized it had vanished before him. Just as he attempted to refocus, the Wisp reappeared in a flash, launching a sudden, unexpected strike.

"Kyuu!" Sui cried out as the dark tendril caught him off guard, slamming into him with surprising force. He was knocked back, his form splattering against the ground.

He felt a moment of pain, but it quickly faded. He struggled to regain his balance, his confidence shaken but not broken.
