Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss-Chapter 432 - 430: New goal - Own guild
Just then, another shadow shifted near Seoyang's feet, and Nemean calmly stepped out of it. His tall, lion-like form stood with a quiet strength, golden eyes watching the room. At the same time, a soft breeze swept through as Nymira suddenly appeared beside them in her small white cat form, tail flicking as she landed lightly on the floor with a quiet tap.
She sat down, ears twitching, then looked up and spoke clearly, her voice smooth and a little frustrated.
"I can't trace them," Nymira said. "They disappeared completely. It seems like one of them can use a portal."
Nemean looked at Huno, "The moment I destroyed the car, a bird type beast appeared and picked her up," Huno explained again for those who had just arrived. "There was another woman waiting on the beast."
Seoyang, still holding Elshienne and Nathan close, looked up, her expression turning serious. "A portal user… with divine artifacts. And they dared to copy me."
The room stayed silent for a moment until Seojun finally spoke. "Nathan, Elshienne—go change your clothes."
The twins nodded slowly, Without saying a word. they headed toward their rooms.
Seojun didn't wait any longer. He turned around and walked toward his room, his expression unreadable. The moment his door shut behind him, Seoyang glanced at Jonathan, then at the door the twins disappeared through, before she sighed and brushed her hair back.
"I'll go wait in Ahye's school," she said gently, but before she could take a step, Silla—still in his small white snake form—unwrapped himself from her shoulder and raised his little head.
"Madam, don't leave," he said clearly. "Master said he'll teleport Miss Ahye right after her class is over."
Seoyang paused, then gave a small nod, sitting down quietly on the nearby couch.
Meanwhile, Jonathan took out his phone, his face serious as he tapped on the screen. He placed it to his ear, speaking in a low tone.
"Yes, it's me… I need you to check the supermarket cameras, Section C. Someone might've seen us disappear. Remove the footage. If anyone saw it in person…" he paused, then spoke colder, "…use money to silence them. Make sure it doesn't spread."
He ended the call and stayed still, staring at the screen for a few seconds.

Inside his room, Seojun closed the door behind him without a word. He didn't even sit down—just stood there for a second before his eyes narrowed. In the next moment, his figure vanished.
He reappeared high in the sky, above the road where the fake Seoyang had tried to take Nathan and Elshienne. His body floated calmly, but the wind around him was tense and sharp, stepping on the air using his Wind Step technique.
The ground below still showed marks of the earlier chaos—burnt tire tracks, pieces of broken metal, and deep cracks caused by Huno slamming the car down.
Then the System spoke, its voice echoing inside his mind.
[Looks like you won't be able to protect your family all the time, Host. What are you planning to do now? If this were the Abyss, it would be easy to track them.]
Seojun clenched his fists, and the air around his body started to flicker with unstable mana, like a storm about to burst. His eyes were cold.
"If I can't find them," he said in a low voice, "then I'll make them show up." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
His voice wasn't loud, but the mana he released made the nearby clouds ripple. He wasn't calm anymore. He was annoyed, and more than that—he was angry.
Something inside him had shifted. He had always tried to stay in the shadows, live peacefully, but now… now his enemies dared to touch his family.
[That's right, Host! Show them who you really are!]
In a blink, Seojun disappeared from the sky and appeared inside the Dean's office. Alex and Alexa were standing near the desk, discussing something with the Dean.
When they saw Seojun appear, Alexa's eyes lit up with hope. She stepped forward quickly. "Are you finally joining our guild?!" she asked with a big smile.
He looked at all three of them before saying in a steady voice, "I'm creating my own guild."
The room fell completely silent. The Dean stopped reading. Alex's hand froze mid-air with his coffee cup. Alexa's smile faded into surprise.
"W-What?" she blinked.
Seojun stepped forward, "I've been avoiding it, but after today…I can't protect the people I care about if I keep playing small. I won't join anyone else's guild. I'll build my own."
Alex placed his cup down slowly, his face unreadable, but his eyes sharp. The Dean leaned back in his chair, sighing. "That's not a light decision, Seojun. Building a guild means putting a target on your back."
"I know," Seojun replied. "That's exactly what I want."
Alexa crossed her arms, still stunned. "You… do know what kind of storm this will cause, right?"
"I do," Seojun said, "Let it come."
The system gave a small laugh. [Hehehe. Now it's getting fun.]
"To create a guild, you need three members minimum," Alex said seriously. "That's the rule set by the Global System and the Awakeners' Association."
Seojun replied, "My beasts count as members."
That sentence made Alexa's eyes widen, and even the Dean looked up in surprise.
"Wait—what?" Alexa asked, blinking. "You mean Huno and the others?"
Seojun nodded calmly. "They're registered. They have status windows, classes, mana signatures, even guild ranks. The system recognizes them the same as human awakeners."
Alex frowned. "But they're not human. That could be—"
"There's no rule saying guild members have to be human," Seojun interrupted. His voice was firm but not rude. "If the system can assign beasts their own skills and titles, and if they can sign contracts and fight raids, then they qualify."
"That's… a stretch," Alexa muttered, scratching her head.
Seojun looked directly at the Dean. "Confirm it."
The Dean stayed quiet for a few seconds then open his Global system searching something quickly. After a few swipes, his eyes slowly widened.
"…He's right," the Dean said at last. "There's nothing in the rules that disqualifies intelligent beast-type contract holders with registered awakenings from counting as guild members."
Alex leaned back, half in disbelief. "You really thought this through…"
"I didn't plan to," Seojun said, his eyes dark for a moment. "But they made me."
"Why did something happen?" Alexa asked.
"Nathan and Elshienne was attacked, after leaving the academy."
"WHAT?!"
