Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 31: Bino Demon Malara

The Greater Hellhound finally turned and walked away, its massive form disappearing into the forest. The three female demons sighed in relief.

One of them said, "I thought I was going to get eaten! Just how hungry is he to smell a human?"

Another replied, "There's no human that can handle the miasma in our domain. It's impossible."

Malara, who had been deep in thought, glanced around and said, "You two go ahead. I forgot something."

The other two demons hesitated. "Are you sure, Malara? What if Lord Hound comes back and eats you?"

Malara shook her head. "I'm fine. He's not coming back. Go on."

The two female demons nodded and left, disappearing into the forest. Malara walked toward the darker part of the forest, and Seojun, curious, followed her at a safe distance.

Seojun trailed Malara, [The beings in this domain are demons who live by their own rules. Female demons like Malara are considered weak compared to the males, and male demons often eat their own kind. This is how the hierarchy works in this domain.]

Seojun frowned, feeling a bit of pity for Malara. He watched as she walked deeper into the forest. Malara knelt down and began picking flowers from the ground—some that Seojun had never seen before. She handled them with care, as if they were precious.

Seojun kept his distance, observing her actions with growing curiosity. The sight of Malara collecting flowers in such a dangerous place made him wonder about her true intentions and the nature of this domain.

As Malara walked away, Seojun leaned against a tree and spoke softly to Huno and Silla. "Go back to the guardian space for now."

Huno and Silla nodded and vanished into their respective guardian spaces.

Seojun then accessed his status screen and went to the message icon. He browsed through the messages and asked, "What am I supposed to do here, system?"

The system responded, [Your objective is to defeat the Fallen Deity, Host]

Seojun nodded. He continued to read the messages on his screen.

[System Notification: You have defeated the Abyss Calamity! Rewards, bonuses, loot, and skills have been granted.]

Seojun continued scrolling through his skills, taking note of his new abilities:

- Illusion Mastery:  Allows the creation of illusions to mislead or confuse enemies.
- Dark Aura Emission: Lets Seojun emit a dark aura to intimidate or weaken his foes.

He then saw that his Fireball skill that upgraded to Blaze Sphere had an option to evolve further.

[System Notification: Blaze Sphere Evolution Available. Click 'Yes' to proceed with the upgrade.]

Seojun clicked "Yes," and a notification appeared:

[System Notification: Blaze Sphere Evolution Loading... Please wait.]

As the system began loading the evolution, Seojun remained alert. He activated his Stealth skill to remain hidden and prepared to follow Malara.

He leaped down from the tree, landing softly on the ground. Staying in his stealth, Seojun followed the path Malara had taken, careful not to make a sound as he moved through the dark forest.

Seojun moved quietly through the forest, noticing a flickering light in the distance. As he approached, he saw that it was a fire. He pulled up the hood of his coat, concealing his face and blending into the shadows.
