Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Farewell

"You've earned my respect, Seojun. Your strength and resilience… It shows you're worthy of standing among the greatest in this realm."

Seojun nodded, still a bit surprised by the compliment. "Thank you. I'm glad to have your respect."

Nerathiel gave a rare smile and placed his arm over Seojun's shoulder in a friendly gesture. "I look forward to our next fight. This time, I'll go all out."

Seojun smirked, meeting his gaze. "And I won't lose, Nerathiel."

Nerathiel chuckled, "Good. When I fell into the Abyss, some of my power was sealed, but once I've recovered everything, we'll see what you're really made of. I look forward to that day."

Seojun smiled back. "Me too. It'll be a fight worth remembering."

The conversation was a peaceful break for Seojun. It was unexpected to see Nerathiel being so polite, but it made Seojun feel more at ease.

The next day was busy for Seojun. He spent most of his time showing the visiting Clan Lords around his territory. The day was filled with tours, discussions, and various attempts to impress him. Some of the Clan Lords went out of their way to flatter Seojun and present themselves in the best light, but Seojun was not very impressed.

He focused on making sure everything was in order and that his duties as a host were fulfilled.

The constant attention and socializing left Seojun feeling tired. The Clan Lords each had their own way of interacting with him. Vrok, Kazrak, Balor, and Sorgar each showed off their territories and discussed strategies. While these experiences were interesting, they also left Seojun feeling exhausted.

After those busy days, Seojun found more relaxed moments. Huno, the massive three-headed dog, spent a lot of time playing with the demon children. The laughter and joy of the kids were a welcome break, and Huno seemed to enjoy the playful interaction.

Silla stayed close to Seojun. Often, he would coil around Seojun's neck or rest beside him in his snake form. Silla's presence was a comforting and reassuring one. The guardian's constant companionship, especially being in Seojun's head, helped him feel secure and calm.

Seojun appreciated these quieter times. With Huno's playful presence and Silla's steady companionship, he could relax and recover from the busy days.

As the week came to a close, Seojun's time in the realm felt like it had passed in the blink of an eye. His days were filled with interactions with the Bino demons and the Grimporcs, who had welcomed him with open arms. Kazrak's gift, a grand and powerful beast, had been a highlight for everyone. Seojun's presence had become a source of joy and comfort to the realm's inhabitants.

Despite his reserved nature, Seojun made a significant impact. His quiet demeanor and rare smiles spoke volumes. He spent his time assisting those in need, whether it was tending to sick or injured demons or joining in with the children's games. His kindness and helpfulness won the hearts of many, making him a beloved figure among the demons.

On the final day, Clan Lords, Malara, and many demon children had gathered to bid Seojun farewell. Malara, with tears streaming down her face, approached him with a heavy heart.

"My lord, I can't believe you're leaving," she said, her voice trembling. "We're going to miss you so much."

Seojun looked at her with a warm smile. "Thank you, Malara."

The demon children, who had grown fond of Seojun, crowded around him, their faces full of sadness and hope. "Brother Seojun, don't go!" one child said, holding onto his sleeve. "We'll miss you!"

Seojun knelt down, his heart touched by their affection. "I'll miss all of you too. Keep smiling and playing. It makes this place special."

The Clan Lords approached, each expressing their gratitude and respect. Vrok, with his stone-gray skin, nodded appreciatively. "Your presence has been a blessing to us all. Safe travels, Lord Seojun."

Kazrak, with his powerful aura, added, "You've earned our admiration and respect. We're grateful for your time here."

Malara's brother stepped forward, his voice steady despite the emotion. "I will take care of the clan in your absence. Thank you for entrusting me with this responsibility and for making me the second lord. I promise to uphold your legacy."

Seojun gave him a reassuring smile. "I trust you will do an excellent job. Thank you for taking on this role."

As Seojun prepared to leave, he took one last look at the realm and its inhabitants.

With a final wave and a heartfelt "Goodbye," Seojun stepped through the portal, leaving behind a place that had become like a second home.

Notification: You will be transported to the next destination: The Kartinerion Sea.

Huno, now in his adult size, nuzzled against Seojun's side, his three heads showing a mix of concern and affection.

Seojun reached down to pat Huno's back, a small smile on his face. "I kind of feel sad leaving,"

Huno let out a gentle growl and nudged Seojun, his heads tilting as if to reassure him. Seojun chuckled, feeling a pang of sadness mixed with the excitement of the journey ahead.

With a final wave to Malara, the Clan Lords, and all the demons who had gathered to see him off. His hand lingered in the air, a silent farewell to the friends he had made.

As light enveloped him, Seojun's figure began to fade. His last words were carried away by the wind, barely audible. "Goodbye, everyone. Thank you for everything."

In a flash, Seojun disappeared from view.

[Notification: You have been transported to The Kartinerion Sea.]

Description: The Kartenirion Sea is a vast, ominous body of water located within the Abyss, characterized by its unsettling beauty and inherent danger. The surface is a deep, inky black, punctuated by swirling shades of crimson and violet that seem to pulse like a living entity.

Seojun sighed. "I'm gonna miss the daylight," he said, looking around.

[You have to cross the Kartenirion Sea, Host]

As he took in his new surroundings, monstrous sea creatures began to emerge from the depths. They were grotesque and deformed, with glowing eyes and razor-sharp limbs. It was as if all manner of sea beasts that had perished in other realms had somehow drifted here, to the dark waters of the Kartenirion sea.

Silla, in his snake form, curled up and hissed. Huno, turning into his human size, prepared to fight. Both were ready to defend Seojun.

Seojun took out his scythe, which glinted in the starry light. He smiled and said, "Let's finish them off, then we can move to the next area."

The creatures charged at them, but Seojun and his companions were quick. Seojun swung his scythe with skill, and Huno and Silla fought fiercely.

With his loyal friends by his side, Seojun continued through the strange and endless land, prepared for whatever came next.
