Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Just that?
Seojun, feeling that the immediate danger had passed, managed to push the child Grimzark off him and floated away. He looked at Grimzark with confusion.
The child Grimzark floated back, whining as he spoke. "Fighting and killing aren\'t fun anymore. I\'m bored of it. So whatever you do, or however strong you are, I refuse to fight."
Seojun, now standing, was resolute. "You have no choice but to fight me. I will take this realm from you." He drew his sword, flaming with blue fire, and assumed a fighting stance.
Child Grimzark, still floating in the air with a bored expression, made a sudden decision. He waved his hand dismissively, and Seojun struggled to react quickly.
With a dramatic gesture, Grimzark began his oath. "I, Lord Grimzark, hereby acknowledge my defeat at the hands of the human Han Seojun. By the powers vested in me, I declare that Han Seojun shall become the new Lord of the Abyss Realm."
Grimzark then pricked his finger, letting his blood drip onto a glowing paper contract. "Now, sign this to make it official," he said, extending the paper toward Seojun.
Grimzark\'s sharp nail cut his palm slightly. Grimzark pressed Seojun\'s bleeding hand onto the paper, sealing the contract with his blood.
The contract glowed brightly as it sealed, marking the end of the oath. Grimzark\'s expression shifted to one of bored resignation.
As Seojun stared at the mythical golden paper contract, he thought, just that?! His confusion deepened as Child Grimzark suddenly pushed him back onto the bed and sat in his lap, making Seojun feel increasingly awkward.
"Maybe this will work," Grimzark said with a mischievous grin. In an instant, Grimzark transformed into a cute Japanese loli girl, complete with big, sparkling eyes and a playful demeanor.
The newly transformed Grimzark looked up at Seojun with a sweet smile. "Onii-chan! Can you tell me a bedtime story about your word?" she asked in a high-pitched, adorable voice. "Please, Onii-chan!"
Seojun\'s face turned bright red as he recognized the loli\'s appearance from a movie he accidentally watched when he first got his phone. It was a scene he hadn\'t expected to encounter again in such a bizarre way.
"Stop that!" Seojun shouted, trying to push Grimzark away. But Grimzark just laughed heartily, floating in mid-air and clearly enjoying the situation.
"What a funny human!" Grimzark laughed, his voice echoing through the room. "Hahaha! Your face is red as a tomato!"
Seojun turned away, his cheeks still burning with embarrassment.
"Get away from me!" Seojun shouted, trying to shake off the loli Grimzark who had now jumped onto his back and refused to let go.
"Oh, Onii-chan!" Grimzark squealed, clinging tightly. "You\'re so strong, but you\'re not very good at shaking me off!"
Seojun twisted and turned, attempting to dislodge Grimzark. "Seriously, stop it! This is ridiculous!"
Grimzark giggled, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck. "But I\'m having so much fun! You\'re like a big, warm teddy bear!"
Seojun gritted his teeth, trying to ignore how ridiculous he must look. "Just how many you see in my memories?! I said Let go!"
Seojun, frustrated with Grimzark\'s playful antics, threw him off his back with a grunt. Grimzark floated in the air, laughing loudly as he descended.
"Stop it!" Seojun snapped. "I\'m not telling you anything about Earth."
Grimzark, still laughing, began to change form mid-air. He transformed into a tall, beautiful girl with long, silky black hair and brown eyes, dressed in a stylish two-piece outfit.
As he floated down, he playfully wrapped his arms around Seojun\'s neck, hugging him tightly. Seojun\'s eyes widened in shock.
"What the—?"
Grimzark, now in his new form, grinned and said, "Aww Seojun don\'t be so serious! I just saw some of your memories and thought I\'d try something fun!" Seojun tried to push Grimzark away.
Grimzark, still in his tall, beautiful girl form, began mimicking voices Seojun had seen in his memories. He even started adopting high-pitched, playful tones that made Seojun\'s face flush red with embarrassment.
Seojun, feeling overwhelmed and nearly on the edge, shouted loudly and coldly, "I SAID STOP IT"
The force of his shout was so intense that it made the castle tremble. The sound echoed through the halls, and the walls seemed to shiver under the pressure.
Grimzark, startled by the sudden explosion of emotion, quickly reverted to his child form. He floated in the air, laughing uncontrollably, clutching his stomach as he tried to regain composure.
Seojun, now calming down from his outburst, muttered under his breath, "Fuck this."
He took a deep breath, trying to collect himself as Grimzark continued to laugh heartily. The playful demon\'s antics had managed to break through Seojun\'s stern exterior, causing an unexpected moment of levity amidst their serious confrontation.
"Alright," Seojun said, trying to sound more composed, "I get it."
Grimzark, still chuckling, nodded. "Okay, okay! But that was just too funny Human!"
Meanwhile, Silla and Huno were trapped in a cage high above the throne room, trying desperately to break free. The magic that held them was too strong, and their efforts seemed futile. Huno\'s three heads argued among themselves, each one frustrated and concerned.
"We have to get out!" growled the middle head, attempting to bite through the glowing bars. But as soon as his teeth touched them, he was zapped with electricity, forcing him to pull back in pain.
"Stop biting!" snapped the left head. "You\'re only hurting ourself."
Silla, a massive silver-scaled hydra with nine heads, coiled his long body around the bars, looking down at Huno. His voices were filled with worry as he asked, "Brother, what about Father? Can he help us get out of this cage? He\'s always with Master."
Huno\'s middle head, still stinging from the shock, responded solemnly, "Father can\'t interfere, Silla. We can\'t rely on him this time. He can only act when Master truly needs him.
The other heads of Huno agreed, their expressions grim. "We need to find another way," the calm head added.
Silla tightened his coils, his silver scales gleaming faintly. "But what should we do? I hope Master is okay..."
Suddenly, the cage started to flicker, and before they could react, it disappeared entirely, leaving them to fall. Huno landed on his feet with a heavy thud, while Silla, unprepared, fell headfirst to the ground.
"To Master!" Huno\'s middle head roared as soon as he regained his balance. Without hesitation, the three-headed dog sprinted across the throne room, his massive paws pounding against the stone floor. Silla quickly righted himself, all nine heads focused as he slithered rapidly beside Huno.
As they rushed to reach Seojun, demons appeared, trying to block their path. But Huno\'s immense strength was too much for them. He charged through, sending demons flying in every direction. Silla lashed out with his many heads, knocking aside any that dared to come close.
"Nothing will stop us!" Huno\'s right head growled as they continued their charge.
"Hold on, Master. We\'re coming," Silla\'s voices hissed in unison, his nine heads weaving through the chaos.
