Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Let's get started

Seojun lowered his hands, feeling a subtle shift in his energy. Huno barked happily and Silla nodded seeing that Seojun getting stronger. The system's hologram appeared in front of Seojun.

[Host, everything has been successfully added to your inventory,]

"Really? That's great!" Seojun replied with a smile, feeling a surge of excitement as he headed deeper into the cave to inspect his new gear.

He opened his inventory and selected the first item to equip: the Kraken Scale Armor Shirt. As he did, a detailed holographic description of the shirt appeared.

As Seojun finished equipping his new gear, the system's hologram appeared again with an additional update.

[Host, all of your new items were forged using the Kraken's loots. Additionally, I have a new item for you: the Kraken's Veil Coat]

The hologram displayed the description of the new item:

The system added, [Host, the Kraken's Veil Coat is crafted to integrate seamlessly with your existing gear. It is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, ensuring you will not have difficulty moving or fighting while wearing it.]

Seojun looked at the coat with appreciation. "This is awesome!" he exclaimed. He adjusted the coat, feeling its smooth texture and lightness. "And this scythe—it's become stronger than before."

He took a moment to test the scythe's new abilities. The dark, ethereal energy it emitted was palpable, enhancing its power to damage souls and dark entities. Seojun swung the scythe through the air, feeling its improved balance and strength.

Satisfied with his new gear, Seojun turned to Huno and Silla, who were eagerly watching.

Seojun looked at Huno and Silla. "Let's find where the Abyss Calamity is."

The system's hologram appeared. [I will transport you, Host.]

In a flash of light, Seojun, Huno, and Silla were transported to a new location. They found themselves in a vast, barren landscape with jagged rocks and swirling mist.

Huno began sniffing the air and led them to a large crater. In the center of the crater, they saw the Abyss Calamity. It looked like a giant jellyfish, with its head visible and tentacles curled up.

Seojun gazed at the creature with awe and concern. "It's sleeping?"

The system's hologram appeared once more. [Yes, Host]

The creature's massive form was both mesmerizing and intimidating. The fact that it was sleeping presented an opportunity, but also a risk—any disturbance might awaken it.

Seojun looked around and said, "Let's observe for now. We can't just rush in."

As they watched, small jellyfish-like creatures started emerging from the ground inside the crater. Seojun used his appraisal skill to identify them. They were lesser creatures with lower levels.

"Huno and Silla, handle these small ones," Seojun instructed. "I'll take care of the Abyss Calamity."

Huno and Silla nodded and prepared to fight the smaller creatures. Seojun focused on the massive Abyss Calamity, readying himself.

Huno and Silla charged into the crater, attacking the small jellyfish-like creatures with fierce determination. Huno's powerful barks and Silla's swift strikes cleared a path through the lesser monsters, making it easier for Seojun to approach the Abyss Calamity.

Seojun, gripping his scythe tightly, moved towards the sleeping giant. Just as he was getting close, a thick fog began to swirl around the Abyss Calamity, obscuring everything.

System Alert! Warning

Fog of Distortion Detected. Communication Blocked. Visibility Reduced.

[Host, Be careful!]

Seojun tried to hear the system's warnings, but the fog seemed to block out all sounds, including the system's notifications. He could no longer see Huno or Silla, nor could he reach them through his calls.

The fog was dense and suffocating, swirling around him like a living entity. Seojun's heart raced as he strained to see through the haze. Suddenly, a figure began to materialize from the fog.

Seojun's hands shook as he saw the figure take shape. He muttered the name, "Kyle."

The figure, cloaked in shadow, seemed familiar and yet completely alien in the fog. Seojun tried to steady his breathing and focus on the figure, unsure of what this apparition meant or how it might affect his battle with the Abyss Calamity.
