Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 37: Dare to ignore

The other demons watched in a mix of horror and awe as Huno devoured Gornak in one brutal motion. Huno's heads rose from the gore, their mouths dripping with blood. His eyes blazed with a dangerous gleam as he looked down at the remaining Clan Lords.

"Dare to ignore" a deep, echoing growled, his voice that shook the around. "You might end up like him."

A heavy silence fell over the gathering. The Clan Lords, who had been so confident and arrogant moments ago, now looked on in shock. Even the fierce and prideful Zholga seemed unsettled by the sight of Huno's ferocity.

Sorgar, the one-eyed demon with jagged teeth and gray, ashen skin, finally spoke, his voice wavering. "It's a Cerberus!" he stuttered, his eye wide with disbelief. "H-how can a legendary being like you be tamed?! How did you come here?!"

The other Clan Lords murmured in agreement, clearly taken aback. Cerberus- the legendary guardian of the Underworld, a being of immense power and fear-stood before them as an ally of the new Bino Clan Lord.

Huno, still in his massive form, licked the blood from his jaws with a sense of satisfaction.

His eyes glinted with dark amusement. "Tamed?" he scoffed, his three heads speaking in a chorus of low growls. "I serve a master who is worthy. One who is beyond your understanding, demons."

"If any of you doubt his power, step forward. I will be happy to teach you the same lesson." The Clan Lords hesitated, glancing at one another. They were all powerful beings in their own right, but to face a legend like Cerberus, especially when he was allied with an unknown entity, was a risk none of them were eager to take.

Huno, having shown his terrifying power, slowly shrank back to his dog-sized form, his three heads still dripping with blood from the earlier battle. He looked around at the Clan Lords with a dark, challenging gleam in his eyes. "Insult my master again," he growled, his deep voice resonating even in his smaller form, "and you'll see what happens."

Huno padded over to Malara. His three heads lowered slightly, and he looked up at her expectantly.

"Wipe my mouths," Malara nodded immediately, understanding the unspoken trust in Huno's request. She retrieved a clean cloth from her belt and began carefully wiping the blood from each of Huno's muzzles.

A figure then began to emerge from the group of Bino demons. Seojun stepped forward, his presence drawing all eyes to him. "What's going on here?" he asked, his voice calm yet commanding.

Huno tail began wagging wildly, and all three heads started barking in excitement. The great Cerberus, now the size of a  dog, ran to Seojun with such enthusiasm it was almost comical. His powerful form and earlier menace were all but forgotten.

Seojun chuckled softly as Huno jumped up at him, licking his face eagerly with each of his three heads. Meanwhile, Silla also shrank to a small snake size, slithering closer. Zholga, who had been observing them with a mixture of fear and fascination, couldn't help but mutter, "How terrifying..."

Silla, hearing her words. "That's my brother to you," he hissed, then crawled up Seojun's arm, wrapping himself around his neck before nuzzling against Seojun's cheek.

Zholga, still bewildered by the sudden change, blinked. "Brother?" she repeated softly, confusion evident in her voice.

Seojun sat down, comfortably leaning against a large rock, and continued to pet Huno, who was now joyfully licking his face. Silla rubbed his head against Seojun's cheek, making a soft, contented sound.

Malara, who had been watching closely, took a step forward and bowed respectfully. "My lord,The other Clan Lords are here."

The Clan Lords who had witnessed the scene were all in a state of shock. A human? How did a mere human manage to find his way here? And, more importantly, how did a human become the lord of the Bino Clan?

Some of them began muttering under their breath. "Is he the one who annihilated three territories?" Vrok asked, disbelief in his tone.

In unison, the thought ran through each of their minds: 'He looks weak.'

Huno, still in his small form but ever perceptive, sensed their thoughts and shifted his heads to glare at them. His growl, even in this size, sent a shiver down their spines. They knew not to underestimate him again.

Seojun stood up, gently setting Huno down. His eyes swept across the gathered demons,

One of the Clan Lords, a massive cyclops with a single, glaring eye and dark, cracked skin, quickly stepped forward. He bowed low, his tone more respectful. "We are here to pay a visit and to congratulate you on becoming the new ruler. I am Balor, Lord of the Gloomfang Clan."

Another Clan Lord, with the face of a lion and vibrant red fur standing like a mane around his head, stepped forward next. "I am Kazrak, Lord of the Bloodmane Clan,"

A third, a lean, almost skeletal demon with two twisted horns and sunken eyes, spoke up. "I am Sorgar, Lord of the Hollowshades,"
