Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Abyss
One afternoon, they decided to visit a cozy coffee shop that Seoyang had always enjoyed. Seojun sat at a table with his mother, savoring the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the comforting warmth of the shop.
Huno, lay quietly under the table, content and relaxed.As they chatted and enjoyed their drinks, Seojun felt an overwhelming sense of normalcy and happiness.
For the first time in a long while, he felt truly at ease. There were no battles to fight, no lonely nights—just the simple pleasure of being with his mother. He barely noticed the world outside, wrapped up in the comfort of their peaceful life.
Huno, however, was more alert. His ears perked up, and his noses twitched as he picked up on something unusual. Without drawing attention, he quietly slipped out from under the table and walked towards the door. Seojun didn't notice, still immersed in their peaceful moment.
Outside, Huno came to a halt and raised his heads, sniffing the air intently and Silla emerged from Huno's fur, his silver-scaled snake form coiling up.
"I smell chaos," Silla said
After walking for about ten minutes, Huno noticed something unusual in a nearby alley. He went over to investigate and saw a small crack in the ground.
Suddenly, Seojun's system spoke up [That crack is a sign that an outbreak dungeon will appear soon.]
Silla asked, "Can't Master and his mother be disturbed, What should we do, Father?"
[Once the crack becomes a bit larger, enter the dungeon and defeat the boss to prevent further problems.]
With the crack beginning to widen, Huno and Silla prepared to deal with the impending danger. They knew they had to act fast to protect Seojun and Seoyang from any potential threat.
As Seojun and Seoyang enjoyed their time at the coffee shop, Seoyang glanced outside and seemed lost in thought. Seojun noticed her distraction and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"

Seoyang turned back with a smile, gently petting the white cat in her lap. "Oh, it's nothing, son."
Seojun chuckled, "It seems like you've really taken a liking to Nymira."
Seoyang laughed and lifted the cat, rubbing her cheek against Nymira's soft fur. "Well, look at her! She's so cute!"
Seojun was glad to see his mother so content. He enjoyed these peaceful days, though he felt a sense of unease knowing that the world wasn't as safe as it seemed.
Taking a sip of his coffee, Seojun suddenly felt a shift in his senses. He stood up and smiled at his mother. "Mom, could you head home for now?"
Seoyang looked at him, puzzled. "Why? What's going on?"
Seojun tried to reason, "I want to buy something and surprise you."
Seoyang laughed, "That's not much of a surprise anymore, then." They both stood up and prepared to leave.
Seojun called a taxi, and as it pulled up, he said to his mother, "Come back later, okay? I'll cook something special for us."
He kissed Seoyang's cheek and smiled, guiding her to the backseat of the taxi. He looked at Nymira and said quietly, "Protect Mom, Nymira."
Nymira responded with a soft, "I will, Master."
As the taxi drove away, Seojun waved until it was out of sight. He turned and started walking in the opposite direction, hands in his pockets. The streets were busy, but his mind wandered as he felt a familiar sensation tugging at his senses. Something wasn't right.
As he walked, that feeling grew stronger. It was like a whisper from the past, calling him back to a time when darkness surrounded him. He headed toward a quiet, dimly lit alley, his instincts guiding him.
When he reached the alley, Seojun stopped and frowned. His eyes narrowed as he saw something disturbing—a black hole slowly forming in the air, swirling with a dark energy he knew too well.
"Abyss…" he muttered under his breath, recognizing the source of the strange energy.
Meanwhile, Huno and Silla entered the black hole, finding themselves in a desolate, eerie land. The ground was cracked and dry, with not a hint of green or life anywhere—just lifeless trees and barren earth.
"This is the Abyss, brother," Silla hissed as he crawled out from Huno's body.
Huno sniffed the air and barked, "I can feel my power here!" He then transformed into his human-sized form, stretching and flexing.
Seeing Huno's transformation, Silla also shifted. He grew into his human-sized nine-headed hydra form, each head looking around with sharp eyes.
"Looks like our strength is back in the Abyss," Silla said, observing their powerful forms. The two of them stood tall, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead in this forsaken place.
Huno's eyes gleamed with urgency. "We have to report this to Master. We need to stop the Abyss monsters from entering Earth."
Silla nodded in agreement, his nine heads swaying slightly as he assessed their surroundings. "Agreed. But first, we should take care of these monsters. Looks like they're already coming this way."
As Silla spoke, a horde of monstrous creatures emerged from the shadows, their grotesque forms moving toward the two guardians. The sight of their old enemies stirred a deep excitement in both Huno and Silla. They felt the rush of their restored strength, and it ignited a competitive fire between them.
Huno grinned and said, "Let's see who can take down the most. I've missed this."
Silla's heads all nodded in agreement. "You're on. I'll count every monster I defeat. Ready to see who wins"
With a roar, Huno charged forward, his form blurring as he tore through the incoming monsters with powerful strikes. Each swing of his weapon was precise, his speed and strength making quick work of the enemies.
Silla was not to be outdone. He slithered and struck with his multiple heads, each one delivering lethal blows to the monsters. His hydra form allowed him to strike in multiple directions at once, creating a whirlwind of destruction.
Huno and Silla fought with excitement In the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by the fallen bodies of their enemies.
