Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Quest Complete

As Huno and Silla burst into Grimzark's sleeping chamber, the chaos continued to unfold. Huno's side heads quickly spotted two small demons rushing toward them. Without hesitation, both heads snapped forward, biting into the demons. Huno shook his heads violently, and with a growl, he flung the demons away, sending them flying across the chamber.

Silla, right behind Huno, used his powerful draconic body to crash into the enormous door blocking their path. With a mighty heave, the door was ripped from its hinges and sent hurtling across the room, clearing the way.

"MASTER!" Huno's middle head roared as they charged forward, his voice echoing off the stone walls. Silla, following closely behind, shouted, "Master?" His nine heads expressed confusion, their voices blending together as they tried to make sense of the scene before them.

What greeted them was not the battle they had anticipated but something entirely different. In the middle of the sleeping chamber, Seojun was seated in a grand chair, speaking calmly. Kneeling before him was the child-like Grimzark, nodding enthusiastically, his eyes sparkling with attention as he listened to every word Seojun said.

Huno and Silla skidded to a halt, their massive forms towering over the unusual scene. The tension in the room shifted instantly. Huno's heads blinked in surprise, while Silla's many eyes widened in bewilderment.

"Master?" Silla repeated, all nine heads tilting slightly as he tried to understand what was happening.

Seojun looked up at his guardians, a small smile playing on his lips. "It's alright," he said reassuringly, his tone calm and controlled. "Grimzark and I are just having a conversation."

The child Grimzark looked up at Silla and Huno, his innocent expression showing no signs of the mischief or danger they had expected and smiled at them and float.

Huno's heads exchanged puzzled glances, and Silla, still unsure, slowly lowered his massive body, his heads hovering close to Seojun.

"What... happened?" Silla asked, still trying to process the drastic shift from what he thought was a battle to this bizarre scene.

"Everything's under control." Seojun said as the system translated.

Silla, still slightly bewildered, settled down beside Seojun, his many heads finally at ease. "As long as your safe, Master."

Huno, who had been carefully watching over Seojun, suddenly felt an odd weight on his back. One of his side heads turned to investigate, only to find Grimzark—now in his child form—sitting there comfortably, grinning with delight.

"Get off me!" Huno's middle head roared, shaking his body violently in an attempt to dislodge Grimzark. The demon, however, just laughed and held on tighter, enjoying the ride.

Frustrated, Huno began running in circles around the chamber, his three heads snapping at Grimzark as he tried to shake him off. "I said get off!" he growled, while the child-like Grimzark only giggled, clinging on like a mischievous child playing a game.

Meanwhile, Silla, who had been cautiously watching the spectacle, noticed something odd near his tail. One of his heads twisted around to inspect it and was startled to see another Grimzark, identical to the one on Huno's back, sitting casually on his silver-scaled tail. The sight made all of Silla's heads hiss in unison, their eyes narrowing with suspicion.

"Get off!" Silla demanded, lunging to bite at the clone. But the more he twisted and turned to reach it, the more tangled he became in his own body, circling endlessly in pursuit of the elusive demon.

As the scene unfolded, with Huno spinning in wild circles and Silla chasing his own tail, the real Grimzark's body floated calmly beside Seojun, who watched the chaos with a mixture of amusement and bewilderment.

"How did you tame these gods' pets?" Grimzark asked, his childlike voice tinged with curiosity as he floated lazily in the air. "I doubt that you're a god."

Seojun smiled, recalling his first encounter with Huno. "I met Huno when I first got the key to the Door of the Underworld," he explained. "I don't know how, but I managed to gain his trust, and ever since then, he followed me."

Grimzark's eyes sparkled with interest, his mischievous grin widening. "Interesting… You must have something special about you, then. Not just anyone could win over a creature like him."

Seojun shrugged modestly, but his gaze remained focused on his loyal companions, who were still caught up in their ridiculous struggle. Huno finally managed to throw the Grimzark clone off his back, sending it tumbling across the chamber floor, while Silla, having failed to catch the one on his tail, gave up and collapsed in a heap, panting in frustration.

Grimzark giggled, clearly entertained by the spectacle. "I suppose I should stop teasing them," he said, waving his hand. The two clones vanished instantly, leaving Huno and Silla to untangle themselves and catch their breath.

Seojun chuckled as he watched his guardians regroup, finally able to relax. "It's good to see they're still as spirited as ever," he remarked, shaking his head with a smile.

As the system notification confirming his success faded, Seojun's mind was suddenly bombarded with a barrage of new notifications. They appeared in rapid succession, filling his vision with a cascade of shimmering text.

As the flood of notifications appeared before Seojun's eyes, his gaze was drawn to one in particular:

[Exclusive Summon: Grimzark – Grimzark will now serve as your subordinate, bound to your command.]

Seojun stared at the words, his mind racing. Grimzark? My exclusive summon? He had expected rewards, but this was beyond anything he'd thought. The former ruler of the Abyss Realm, now under his command? It didn't add up. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Why would Grimzark agree to this? Seojun wondered, glancing over at the demon who was currently having too much fun teasing Silla and Huno.

Grimzark was effortlessly dodging Silla's snapping jaws and Huno's ferocious barks, his laughter echoing through the chamber. The sight was almost surreal—a being as powerful as Grimzark, now playing around like a mischievous child.Is this just another one of his games? Seojun questioned.

The idea that Grimzark, who had ruled this realm with such ease, would willingly submit to being his summon felt strange.

Seojun couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt. What does Grimzark gain from this? He knew there had to be a reason, something beyond the surface. Grimzark was too cunning, too unpredictable, to simply roll over without a plan.As Seojun's thoughts churned, another notification interrupted him:

Ding!

Teleportation Commencing in 10… 9… 8…

Seojun's heart skipped a beat as the countdown began. He barely had time to process what was happening before the chamber around him began to shimmer and fade.

The walls dissolved into a swirling mix of dark and golden hues, and he could feel the pull of the teleportation beginning to take hold.He cast one last glance at Grimzark, who had stopped teasing Silla and Huno and was now floating over to him with a knowing grin. Silla and Huno is now getting pulled by my Ring

What are you really up to, Grimzark? Seojun thought, as the countdown ticked down to zero and he was pulled away to face whatever awaited him in the Sovereign of Omniarch Realm.
