Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

\'Goddess Zyraena\'s blessing isn\'t working\', he thought, wiping the blood from his lips. \'Damn, what\'s going on?\'

Nerathiel\'s cold, mocking voice rang out across the barren battlefield. "You\'re the only human able to survive my kick, You make me excited." he said, his tone a mix of amusement and disdain.

He struggled to his feet, forcing his body to stand despite the pain radiating through him.

Nerathiel smirked and dashed forward, closing the distance between them in an instant. Seojun barely had time to react, raising his scythe just in time to block Nerathiel\'s sword. The force of the clash sent vibrations through his arms, and he could feel the sheer power radiating from Nerathiel\'s strike.

As their weapons locked, Seojun could see the excitement gleaming in Nerathiel\'s eyes. He was enjoying this. "You\'re not the first human that Zyraena has thrown into the Abyss, human," Nerathiel muttered, his voice low and filled with dark amusement.

The words hit Seojun like a bolt of lightning. \'Not the first human?\' The shock of the revelation made him almost lose his focus, his grip on his scythe slipping slightly.

Nerathiel\'s smirk widened as he sensed Seojun\'s momentary distraction. "Yes," he continued, his voice dripping with malice. "Many before you have been cast down here by her hand… But none of them survived this long."

Seojun gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on his scythe. \'Zyraena, I\'ll make you pay\'

He had to focus. He had to survive. The fallen god pushed forward with a burst of strength, forcing Seojun back. Seojun dug his heels into the ground, holding his ground with everything he had. His muscles strained against Nerathiel\'s power, and he could feel the tension of the battle growing with every passing second.

\'If I lose focus again, I\'m done for,\' Seojun thought, his eyes locking onto Nerathiel\'s. He could see the bloodlust, the pure thrill of battle burning within the fallen god\'s gaze.

Seojun quickly jumped back, putting distance between himself and Nerathiel. He needed space to think, to plan his next move. He couldn\'t let himself get cornered again. Nerathiel, however, remained calm. He stood tall with his sword piercing the ground, his dark aura still swirling around him like a living shadow.

"Show me what you can do, human," Nerathiel said, his voice deep and commanding.

Seojun frowned, his eyes narrowing. \'What is he planning?\' he thought. Nerathiel wasn\'t attacking—he was waiting, as if testing him.

Gripping his scythe tightly, Seojun focused his energy. The air around him began to change as he channeled his power into the weapon. He felt the familiar surge of strength flow through his arms, and his scythe started to glow with a dark, almost eerie light.

"Let\'s see how you handle this!" Seojun shouted.

He swung his scythe with full force, activating one of his skills [Void Slash]. A dark crescent-shaped wave of energy shot out from the blade, slicing through the air toward Nerathiel at incredible speed. The ground beneath the wave cracked and split as it traveled, showing the power behind the attack.

Nerathiel\'s eyes gleamed with interest. Instead of dodging, he raised his sword, blocking the attack head-on. The [Void Slash] collided with his sword, causing a burst of energy to explode outward. Dust and debris flew everywhere, but when the smoke cleared, Nerathiel stood unharmed, a dark grin on his face.

"Not bad," Nerathiel said, his voice echoing in the desolate field. "But you\'ll have to do better than that."

Seojun wasn\'t finished yet. He rushed forward, closing the distance between them. As he moved, he activated another skill [Reaping Dance]. His scythe became a blur of motion, swinging around him in a deadly arc. Each swing left trails of dark energy in the air, creating a whirlwind of slicing power around him.

He spun and slashed at Nerathiel from different angles, attacking with a flurry of strikes. The ground beneath them shattered from the force of his movements. Seojun was pushing himself to his limits, each swing carrying the intent to cut down the fallen god.

Nerathiel moved with grace, his sword deflecting each blow with precise, almost effortless movements. He was fast—too fast. Seojun realized that even with this, Nerathiel was reading his moves like an open book.

But Seojun wasn\'t about to back down. He gritted his teeth and focused even harder, his eyes locked onto Nerathiel\'s every move. He needed to find an opening, even a small one.

Nerathiel laughed, a cold, chilling sound. "Good! Keep going, human! Show me your strength!" His eyes burned with a fierce light, enjoying the challenge.

Seojun knew he had to keep pushing. He tightened his grip on his scythe, his mind racing. \'I need to find a way to break through his defenses... or I won\'t make it out of here alive.\'

With that thought, he prepared to unleash his next attack. The fight was far from over, and Seojun was determined to win.

Before Seojun could unleash his next attack, Nerathiel moved like a blur. With a powerful swing of his sword, he knocked Seojun\'s scythe out of his hands, sending it flying far away. Seojun barely had time to react before Nerathiel grabbed him by the collar, pulling him up close. Their faces were inches apart, and Seojun could feel the god\'s cold, dark aura radiating off him.

"Show me the skill you used to annihilate the three demon lord, Human" Nerathiel demanded, his voice filled with a dangerous excitement.

Seojun didn\'t waste a second. He threw a punch straight at Nerathiel\'s face, putting all his strength into it. Nerathiel caught his fist easily, but then his eyes widened, feeling a sudden shockwave run through his arm. Without a word, he jumped back, releasing Seojun.

Seojun was surprised. \'The Bone Crushing skill had an effect on him?\' he thought. His punch had sent a tremor through Nerathiel\'s arm, something he hadn\'t expected.

Nerathiel glanced at his hand, which was trembling slightly. But within moments, he waved it, and the tremble stopped. His grin grew wider, his eyes shining with an even more intense excitement. "Interesting," he muttered.

"Show it to me, human!" Nerathiel suddenly shouted, his voice booming across the field. "Hahaha! Do it!"

Seojun took a deep breath, calming his nerves. He knew he had to be careful, but he also had to go all out if he wanted a chance at defeating this fallen god. He raised his hands to the sky, focusing his energy. Dark flames began to form above him, swirling and growing larger with each passing second.

The flames grew bigger and darker, casting an ominous light across the barren land. Nerathiel\'s eyes lit up with a crazed delight. "That\'s it!" he screamed like a madman. "Give it to me! Show me everything you\'ve got, Human!"

Seojun felt the heat of the dark flames swirling above him, growing larger and more intense.

With a fierce shout, Seojun yelled, "Hellshadow Fire!" He pointed his hands directly at Nerathiel, aiming the massive dark flames toward him.

The flames surged forward like a raging wave, darkening the sky as they rushed toward their target. The ground beneath them cracked and burned from the sheer heat and energy. The air itself seemed to tremble from the force of the attack.

Nerathiel\'s eyes widened in wild excitement as the flames came closer. His grin stretched even wider, almost like a man possessed. "Yes! That\'s it!" he shouted, his voice filled with a twisted joy. "Give it to me, human! Show me your power!"
