From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 169: New Horrors



Ty, in a moment of confusion and disbelief, gripped Erebos's hand tightly as blood, crimson red, ran down it. Initially, he thought the blood belonged to Erebos, but to his shock, he realized it was his own. Blood was seeping from his bones at the site where Erebos's hand had pierced through his damaged armor.

Even more startling, blood began to leak from Ty's skeletal mouth, a sight that defied all expectations.

Nana, witnessing this shocking development, cried out, "No!" Her voice was filled with horror and concern. She tried to stand, to rush to Ty's aid, but her injured leg gave out, sending her collapsing back to the ground, a painful reminder of her own vulnerable state.

Erebos, with a tone of ominous foreshadowing, addressed Ty. "You will become our Master's Skeleton King soon, young boy, but before then, we must break all of those keys." His words hinted at a grand, yet sinister, destiny for Ty, one that involved unlocking or breaking mysterious 'keys'.

In a swift and brutal motion, Erebos ripped his hand out of Ty's chest, revealing an orange glowing orb with black lines swirling around it. The orb, a physical manifestation of something taken from Ty, seemed to be a key piece in the larger puzzle of Ty's destiny. "You'd think this would have been bigger," Erebos mused, inspecting the orb with a mixture of curiosity and satisfaction.

Ty, feeling the coldness seep into his bones and his strength waning, faced Erebos with a mix of confusion and defiance. "How do you know so much about me? Our meeting was just a coincidence!" he asserted, trying to grasp the situation amidst his growing weakness.

Erebos looked at Ty, a slight smirk on his face. "Coincidence? Perhaps not as much as you think, Ty. But let's focus on the present, shall we?" He tightened his grip, preparing for another attack.

In that moment, Ty knew he couldn't let Erebos's cryptic words distract him. Despite the pain and the uncertainty about his own fate, he needed to concentrate on the battle at hand. Gathering his remaining energy, Ty readied himself to strike back, his resolve as strong as ever.

Erebos, caught up in his monologue, revealed the significant heritage of Ty's bloodline and soul, explaining their purpose in the grand scheme of things. "You and your situation are no different.

Your bloodline and your soul have been passed down through hundreds of generations, surpassing normal humans, in hopes of one day freeing our master and ending this constant suffering," he stated, his voice imbued with a sense of fatalistic purpose.

However, in the midst of his exposition, Erebos's watch transitioned from beeping red to a stark black. Realizing the implication, he cursed under his breath, "I've run out of time, oh well, my work here is done." With a snap of his fingers, a portal materialized behind Ty.

Erebos, undeterred by the change in circumstances, made a cryptic remark, "Maybe stripping you of everything will be a better way of opening your eyes." As he spoke, Ty, with a defiant smirk, raised his limp skeletal arm. In a swift and unexpected move, Ty's chain-bound Double Kata plunged into Erebos's back, its strike so precise and swift that it seemed to sever him in two.

Time appeared to almost stand still in that moment, the tension palpable between the two adversaries.

As Erebos pressed a finger against Ty's skull, he uttered ominously, "Let's see if that seal works so well in the Titans' realm." The blade, once covered in Ty's blood, strangely phased through Erebos, embedding itself into Ty's chest instead. In that moment, six infernos of fire erupted around them, illuminating the area with an intense glow.

Amidst the flames, three men and three women appeared, forming a circle around Ty and Erebos. One of the women, her voice cutting through the crackle of fire, asked sharply, "Where have you been, Erebos?"

Erebos, with a smug smirk, responded not with words but with action. He swiftly broke the chain off Ty's blade and, with a powerful kick, sent Ty hurtling through the portal. The remnants of the shattered blade clattered to the ground, left behind as a silent testament to the struggle.

As Ty was forced through the portal, his already weakened state was exacerbated by the continual loss of blood. The world around him blurred and darkened as he succumbed to unconsciousness, the last of his strength ebbing away in the wake of Erebos's ruthless actions. The portal swallowed him whole, leaving the fiery scene and the questions of the mysterious group unanswered.

As Erebos swiftly wiped his hand above his head, his focus remained undiverted, ignoring the six enigmatic creatures that encircled him. Among them, the woman spoke once more, her voice carrying a note of plea, "Erebos, please, just come home. We can figure out what's going on together."

She stood at an imposing height of 6 feet and 3 inches, towering over those around her. Her fiery red hair flowed down her back in waves, resembling a cascading waterfall of flames. It danced with vibrant energy, catching the light with every movement she made. The crimson cape that adorned her shoulders billowed dramatically in the wind, creating an aura of regal authority and power.

Her eyes, like twin orbs of burning embers, matched the fiery hue of her hair. They radiated an intense and unwavering determination that mirrored the strength in her voice. Every glance from those crimson eyes seemed to sear with a fierce passion, leaving an indelible impression on anyone who met her gaze.

The rest of the group maintained a resolute silence, their gazes fixed on Erebos. In response to her plea, Erebos merely offered a smirk, his expression enigmatic as he replied, "You know, that might not be the worst idea. I've been meaning to have a talk with Drac."

That means you will come with us as she clasped her hands together with tears almost streaming down her face as he snapped his fingers as chains began to wrap around him.
