Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Lila suddenly stood up, her expression firm. "Let's not waste time here. We need to move. Now."

The others stirred, rubbing their eyes and nodding in agreement. Time was limited, and they all knew it. Without wasting another moment, they walked out of the cave and scanned their surroundings.

"Where are we going to find the last marble?" Kaye asked, glancing around anxiously.

As they walked, they spotted several beasts in the distance, each guarding a marble. But to their frustration, the marbles were colors they already had.

"Found them!"

The shout came from behind them, sharp and triumphant. Before they could react, five figures surrounded them, cutting off any escape routes.

"Good job, buddy," one of the guys said smugly, stepping forward. "Now, hand over the marbles."

"No way?! We only have a yellow marble!" Andrew shouted, trying to bluff.

But the leader sneered. "Liar! Moss said you've got the other one. You think you can fool us? Attack them!"

At his command, the other four charged toward the group.

"Scatter! Run!" Lila shouted, breaking into a sprint.

The group split up. The twins darted to the right, Lila dashed to the left, while Andrew and Seojun ran in the opposite direction.

"Damn it!" the leader yelled, frustrated. "We don't know who has the marble. Split up!"

"Got it, boss!"

The five pursuers scattered, each following one of them.

Andrew sprinted through the trees, his heart pounding. After a moment, he stopped to catch his breath, muttering, "How are we supposed to find each other again after this?"

"Hey, dumbass!"

Andrew turned sharply to see one of the guys chasing after him. The guy grinned, clearly thinking he had Andrew cornered.

"Catch me if you can!" Andrew shouted, taking off again. As he ran, he smirked to himself. 'They don't know who has the marble. That's good. Now I just have to figure out how to lose this guy.'

He zigzagged through the forest, his mind racing as he searched for a way to outsmart the guy.

Andrew groaned as his face hit the ground. His feet were frozen to the spot, and the ice bit into his skin. He tried to break the ice with his hands, but it wouldn't budge.

"Think you can outrun me? Keep dreaming," the guy sneered, towering over Andrew. Before Andrew could say anything, the guy kicked him in the side, making him grunt in pain.

Andrew gritted his teeth, glaring up at him. "Coward. Can't fight fair, huh?"

The guy laughed, leaning closer. "Fair? This isn't a game, kid. Hand over the marbles, and maybe I'll go easy on you."

Andrew smirked despite the pain. "Joke's on you. Go get yours!"

The guy's eyes narrowed, his patience clearly running thin. "You f*cker?" He raised his foot, aiming another kick.

Before the blow could land, a rock flew through the air, hitting the guy square in the head. He stumbled back, clutching his forehead. "What the—?! Who did that?!"

Seojun stepped out from the shadows, his expression calm and cold. "Pick on someone your own size," he said flatly.

The guy growled, shaking off the pain. "You wanna die too? Fine!" He charged at Seojun, who stood still, unfazed.

As the guy swung a punch, Seojun sidestepped effortlessly, grabbing the guy's arm and twisting it behind his back. The man yelped in pain, struggling to free himself.

"Where's your boss?" Seojun asked, his tone icy.

"L-let me go!" the guy stammered, panic creeping into his voice.

"Wrong answer." Seojun applied more pressure, making the guy cry out. "Where's Moss?"

"H-He's chasing Moss Ex!" the guy blurted out.

Seojun's eyes darkened, and he released the guy before he could get away seojun hit his nape knocking him.

Without another word, Seojun broke the ice trapping Andrew's feet with a single strike, pulling him up. "Can you run?"

Andrew nodded, wincing but determined. "Yeah. Let's go find Lila."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The two of them sprinted back into the forest, leaving the defeated guy groaning on the ground.

Meanwhile, Lila darted through the trees, her heart pounding as she heard footsteps closing in behind her. "Just keep moving," she muttered to herself, clutching the bag with the marbles tightly.

A guy's voice echoed from somewhere close. "You can't run forever, Bitcg! Just give up!"

She ignored him, focusing on her path. Suddenly, she tripped over a root and tumbled to the ground, the bag slipping from her grasp.

The guy emerged from the shadows, his grin wicked. "Told you, you can't escape."

Lila scrambled to her feet, her fists clenched. "I'm not giving up without a fight."

"Good," he said, stepping closer. "I like a challenge."

Lila's eyes darted around, searching for a way out. She didn't know where the others were, but she had to hold her ground until they came.

"Bring it On," she muttered under her breath, bracing herself for whatever came next.

Meanwhile, Kaye struggled to catch her breath as she and Kyle crouched in the bushes. Her chest rose and fell heavily, her face pale.

"Are you okay, Sis?" Kyle asked, his voice filled with concern.

"I-I'm sorry, B-Brother," Kaye managed to say between gasps.

Kyle placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her down. "It's okay. Just breathe properly. Take your time."

He peeked out from the bush, scanning the area. Seeing no sign of them, he let out a sigh of relief.

"I think we lost them. Damn it. Those guys are so determined to take our marbles."

"What are we going to do now, Brother?" Kaye asked, her breathing finally steady. She looked up at him, worry evident in her eyes.

Kyle glanced back at her, his face serious. "I don't know. But don't think about that right now. Let's make sure we're safe first. Those guys are up to no good."

Kaye nodded, trusting her brother's judgment.

"Let's go?" Kyle asked, standing and offering her a hand.

"Let's find a safer hiding spot," Kaye suggested, taking his hand and getting to her feet.

As they prepared to move, a sudden whooshing sound filled the air. Kyle's eyes widened, and he pushed Kaye aside just as a boomerang flew past them, embedding itself into a nearby tree.

"W-what was that?!" Kaye gasped in shock.

Before they could react further, a hand grabbed Kaye's hair, yanking her up roughly.

"Kaye!" Kyle shouted, his voice filled with anger and panic.

Two of the men from earlier emerged from the trees, smirking as they looked down at the siblings.

"Playing hide and seek, huh?" one of them

taunted, his voice dripping with mockery. He caught the returning boomerang effortlessly while his partner grabbed Kaye firmly.

"Check her. She might have the marble," the man with the boomerang said with a sneer.

The one holding Kaye started patting her down roughly.

"W-what are you doing?! Don't touch me! Let me go!" Kaye screamed, struggling against his grip. "Brother, help!"

Kyle's eyes blazed with fury. Without hesitation, he charged forward, slamming his foot into the man holding Kaye. The force of the kick sent the man stumbling backward. Kyle grabbed Kaye's arm and shouted, "Run!"

Before they could run any further, the boomerang struck Kaye in the back, causing her to fall to the ground.

"Aaah!" Kaye cried out in pain, and Kyle quickly knelt beside her, worried.

"Sis! Damn it! Are you okay?!" he asked anxiously.

"I-It hurts, brother," Kaye sobbed.

Kyle clenched his fists in anger and stood up. He turned to see the two attackers approaching them, smirking confidently.

"Look who's angry. What are you gonna do, kick me? That won't work this time—you just got lucky before," one of them taunted with a sneer.

The two guys laughed loudly, mocking Kyle as he stood protectively in front of Kaye.

"You hurt my sister! I won't let you go!" Kyle shouted angrily, his voice trembling with rage.

Kaye, worried, tugged on his sleeve and said, "No, brother! I'm fine. Let's just escape!"

But Kyle ignored her, his eyes fixed on the guy holding the boomerang. The man was taller, forcing Kyle to look up as he approached.

The taller guy smirked, looking down at Kyle. "What's this? You think you can fight me, little guy? You're barely up to my chest!"

Kyle clenched his fists, trying to block out the insults. "You made me do this," he said coldly. Suddenly, sparks of electricity crackled from his hands, glowing brighter with each second.

Without hesitation, Kyle released the electricity in a powerful attack, aiming straight for the guy. But the man jumped back just in time, avoiding the strike.

"Whoa! Looks like the shorty's got some tricks!" the guy said, grinning confidently. "This might actually be fun."
