From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 75: Battle with a Spine Wyrn



With a smirk on Ty's face, he mused, "I guess it can't be helped too much. Besides, I've been meaning to test this fire out. The pain has slowly been turning into enjoyment for a while now, the more I use it."

"Like scratching an itch almost," as Todd stated, "Well, I guess it's time to itch," catching a man attempting to slash him downward. A jolt of electricity surged through his blade, throwing the man toward the direction of Ty, who sidestepped and delivered a crushing blow to the man's chest with his flame-infested hand, stating, "It's like passing the pain onto others."

Nana, with her arms crossed, stated, "Why do you two get all the fun?" as Ty said, "I'd like to keep your ability a secret still, as long as possible. Why don't you try something new?"

The man whom Ty had punched began to pick himself up, wincing in pain.

The flame stuck to his armor like glue, leaving a burning sensation that slowly flew back to Ty's wrist.

"Huh, that's new for sure," he muttered as he felt the tinge of pain returning.

The flame circled around his fist, almost showcasing its own emotion.

Ty thought to himself, "This flame started to dwell before signing the contract with the Demon King."

"I wonder if it is an extension or another ability of myself?"

Lost in thought, his train of thought was snapped as a mace came crashing over his side.

He was sent skidding into the ground.

A man in a thin robe, wielding a mace with bits of purple electricity streaming off the sides, proclaimed, "I got the first hit in on him."

Ty dusted off the damage, stating, "Sorry, I was thinking about something."

The black flames danced along his arm, previously hidden by the device the Demon King had provided.

Dashing in towards Ty again, the man attempted a sweeping strike with his mace.

The purple lightning shot out towards Ty at blinding speeds.

It caught Ty off guard as his body was shot with electricity.

However, the effect was minimal.

Ty stated, "This burning sensation is almost therapeutic compared to what I deal with every second."

He offered a slightly sinister smile.

Then, Ty landed a devastating punch to the chin of the man.

The man dropped his weapon, falling unconscious.

This is such a unique turn of events Ty stated outloud

"Hey, Todd, you almost done over there?" Ty called out, noticing Todd had a couple of stab wounds in his shoulder.

Around Todd, 10-12 men and women lay knocked out, while a man in silver armor with blood running down his face was gasping for air.

"How can such a giant, evil Ogre be so speedy?!" the armored man exclaimed.

Todd retorted, "Are you calling me fat or something? Also, just so you know, you're the one that decided to come fight me; I didn't start any of this. So don't go calling me evil now."

Gritting his teeth, the armored man slowly noticed all the men Todd had defeated were still breathing and alive, perhaps some with a few broken ribs.

He slowly lowered his sword, understanding the situation more, and in a flash of the moment, worry spread over Todd.

In a blink of an eye, he dashed toward the man who panicked, raising his sword to block whatever attack Todd was about to launch.

But he was surprised when Todd's fist flew past his head, piercing the chest of an enlarged monster covered in blackened oil with a lifeless face, which screamed out in pain from Todd's piercing blow.

"Sorry about scaring you," Todd said, "I just didn't want to see that creature hurt you." He removed his hand from the creature's chest as it fell over, wincing in pain. Before long, it began to melt into the ground.

Todd, showing a bit of surprise, asked, "Why did it melt away?"

The man in the silver armor removed his helmet to reveal dark blond hair stained with blood and a tired expression. "You must really be new here or something," he said. "These creatures resurface every other week, and it takes an entire platoon of fighters to deal with them.

This outpost was set up dozens of years ago to combat this area's section, and even after the sealing of the Dragoon, they never stopped showing up."

Ty, walking up, stated, "That's odd. I don't think the folder mentioned much about this. It really left out important details about the daily life, huh."

Todd gave a slight nod. Nana stated, "Perhaps she felt we would figure it out on our own. I think she put it together last minute from my understanding."

Ty took a moment to think, but then the cries of pain echoed in the distance. A large creature impaled one of the men wearing armor. Blood began to leak from the man's mouth as he struggled to state, "Help—help me."

Something snapped in Ty upon hearing this. He yelled to Nana, "Forget what I said," and little else needed to be said. She snapped her fingers towards the towering creature, measuring over 12 feet tall with wings spanning across its back and two large black sickles with a white aura at the center. The blast from Nana sent the creature flying back.

The man in silver armor just stated, "Shit, even a darkened creature has shown up this time, and with the number of men and women that decided to fight you guys, we are already low."

Pulling out a looking orange ball and holding it towards the sky, he pulled a small cord on the end of it. A loud pop went off as a cloud of orange smoke flew into the sky.

"W-Why are you sending a signal?" Ty inquired. "You still have at least two or three dozen men and women left fighting."

"Anytime a darkened creature shows up, it's above almost anyone's rank here to deal with. A house high class will deal with it," the man in silver armor explained.

Ty, showcasing a confused, perplexed look, stated, "My little friend just dealt with it."

A giant roar shook the ground beneath them as the creature slowly picked itself back up. Its split head began to regenerate, throwing both sickles in their direction, aimed for Nana.
