Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Phantoms

Nerathiel, with a cold smirk, picked up his sword and brandished it menacingly. "Let's end this, shall we?" he muttered, his voice carrying a dangerous edge.

Seojun, barely able to stand, felt a surge of panic. 'Shit! What do I do now?!' His legs trembled as he tried to rise, but his strength was failing him.

"I doubt that you have other tricks up your sleeves, Human" Nerathiel smirk.

Seojun's mind raced. He needed a way to turn the tide of the battle. In his haze of pain and exhaustion, he remembered something crucial. 'How can I summon the souls I've harvested?!' He struggled to stay on his feet but collapsed to the ground, barely conscious.

Nerathiel, sensing victory, loomed closer, preparing to deliver the final blow. Panic surged through Seojun. 'Fuck! What should I do?'

Seojun closed his eyes and shouted, "Rise, phantoms!" He wasn't entirely sure why he shouted it.

To his astonishment, the air around him crackled with energy. When he opened his eyes, he saw countless ghostly figures swirling around Nerathiel. The phantoms, drawn from the souls Seojun had collected, began dragging Nerathiel upward into the sky.

Nerathiel struggled against the spectral force, but the phantoms overwhelmed him, pulling him further and further away. Seojun, gasping for breath, sighed with relief. "I have to heal this before he escapes from the phantoms!"

He focused on his injured arm and placed his palm over the severed limb. A green light emanated from his hand, enveloping his arm. To his astonishment, the cut began to regenerate before his eyes. What had started as an attempt to stop the bleeding turned into a full regeneration.

'This is amazing!' Seojun thought, his mind racing. 'I remember Yggrith's reward involved the evolution of my basic healing skills. It's regenerating my arm.'

He stood up, though unsteadily, and spotted Nerathiel's sword lying on the ground. Seojun stumbled towards it, determined to use it to his advantage. When he finally managed to pick up the sword, he nearly fell again. The weapon was incredibly heavy.

Seojun's hands shook as he gripped the sword, struggling to keep his balance. 'This is going to be challenging,' he thought, his resolve hardening. 'But I have to make it work. I need every advantage I can get.'

Seojun tightened his grip on the now lighter sword, a mix of relief and curiosity flooding his mind. He muttered to himself, reflecting on the implications of his recent discovery.

"I've got an infinite system," he said quietly, almost in awe. "System said that I can learn anything and everything. That means if I apply this concept—using my healing skill to modify physical properties—I could potentially extend it to more than just healing."

Seojun took a deep breath, his thoughts racing with the possibilities of his infinite system. "If I can manipulate the molecular structure of the sword," he muttered

Focusing intently, Seojun closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated on channeling his healing energy into the sword. He visualized the molecular bonds of the sword shifting, becoming less dense. His hands trembled slightly as he poured more of his energy into the process.

Slowly, he felt the sword growing lighter in his grip. He opened his eyes and looked at the weapon, amazed. The sword, which had been unwieldy and heavy before, now felt almost weightless.

"This is incredible, I'm actually making it lighter! My system really does let me learn and adapt like this."

New skill Acquired [Gravitational Control]

He continued focusing unaware of the new skill notif, adjusting the energy flow and further reducing the sword's weight. As he did, he felt the sword becoming easier to maneuver, its balance perfectly aligned with his new physical condition.

Seojun tested a few swings, finding the sword now incredibly agile.

Nerathiel thrashed in the air, his form surrounded by the swirling masses of trapped demon souls. His confusion was evident as he tried to break free from their grip. "This mere human... necromancy? How is he capable of this? How much mana does he possess?

Zyraena! you're trying to manipulate such human?!"

Nerathiel's voice roared in frustration as he struggled against the relentless pull of the phantoms. The demon lords, sensing an opportunity, launched coordinated attacks from below. Their energy blasts and demonic strikes added to the chaos, making it even more challenging for Nerathiel to maintain control.

Seojun, looking up from where he stood, saw the phantoms moving with increasing speed. "Looks like calling the phantoms takes time," he thought. He saw the three demon lords attacking Nerathiel, their combined efforts pushing him further into the air.

As Nerathiel was about to unleash a powerful attack, the phantoms suddenly started to fall, their forms dissolving and being absorbed into Seojun's body. Seojun realized, "Looks like the phantoms had a countdown timer."

Nerathiel's eyes widened in shock when he saw Seojun now holding his sword. "How is he holding my sword?" Nerathiel thought, stunned then he smirk and added "He regenerated his arm"

Seojun didn't waste any time. He gathered his strength, jumped high into the air, and used his Wind Step skill. The wind swept him up swiftly, carrying him high above the battlefield.

Nerathiel quickly pulled out another sword, his movements precise and fast. He soared into the air to meet Seojun, their eyes locked in fierce determination.

The fight moved into the sky. Seojun, holding Nerathiel's sword with one hand, and his own sword in the other, was ready for the aerial battle. Nerathiel swung his new sword with powerful, sweeping arcs, aiming to strike Seojun.

Seojun ducked and rolled mid-air, narrowly avoiding the deadly blows. He spun around, using his agility to dodge Nerathiel's attacks. With a swift motion, Seojun slashed diagonally with Nerathiel's sword, forcing the fallen god to block with his own sword.

Nerathiel gritted his teeth, clearly enjoying the challenge. He countered with a fast, downward strike. Seojun twisted in the air, his own sword meeting Nerathiel's in a clash of steel. The force of the impact sent a shockwave through the sky.

Seojun took advantage of the momentum, spinning around and delivering a powerful kick to Nerathiel's side. Nerathiel grunted, barely managing to stay in the air. He retaliated with a quick thrust, aiming for Seojun's chest. Seojun angled his body, catching the attack on his sword and deflecting it.

As they fought, Seojun and Nerathiel exchanged rapid blows, each strike creating flashes of light in the dark sky. Seojun used his agility to dodge Nerathiel's heavy strikes and countered with precise, calculated moves.

Nerathiel, though initially surprised, began to adapt to Seojun's tactics. He started using more complex combinations, trying to overwhelm Seojun. However, Seojun's quick reflexes and expert swordplay allowed him to keep up.

The battle raged on high above the ground, their movements a blur of motion and power.
