From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 40 Disgusting Creature



Chapter 40  Disgusting Creature

As the creature\'s eyes slid forward from the side, revealing a dark orange hue, its hands that were on its side started to form an array of leaf-like patterns flowing from the other side of its arms.

Tyree spoke up, explaining, "These are Creatures from another place that are trying to invade the world for some unknown reason."

"These creatures come from a realm called the vale of despair, as we like to call it."

"Some come in with enhanced thinking, while others are just some brainless creatures."

"They always spawn in high-density locations, making it difficult to control and handle them, but thanks to the intel division, we have always been able to get a jump on these creatures before they spawn and create any chaos."

"Thanks to the intel division that had been in place for the last 100 years or so, we have managed to contain these creatures with the assistance of the 3 houses who have been working together for since before these creatures started showing up."

Jade gave Ashaiki a look of confusion as Tyree took off his black-robed attire, revealing a black and red skin-tight shirt that he wore underneath before stating, "I\'ll take this creature on myself."

Lowering his stance and placing his hand on the ground, flames slowly circled around his palm. Once the flames had enveloped his hands, they broke out in multiple directions, consuming and burning away the black sludge, prompting the creature to direct its focus down on Tyree, while he exclaimed, "What is food doing to my domain?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After a short, broken breath, the creature stated, its voice filled with a sense of superiority, "Learn your place, human, and bow down to me."

Letting out a light chuckle, Tyree mocked, "You talk big for an overgrown pile of weeds."

The creature revealed its razor-sharp teeth in a dark green scowl, its face contorting angrily before it raised its hand up and extended it towards Tyree and launched an array of blackened plants at Tyree accompanied by the sludge that sprayed in all directions.

Tyree began to emit a red aura as the vines swooped in, wrapping him in an array of green aesthetics, masking his body in a cocoon of sludge and moldering plant materials.

Seeing Tyree stuck in its cocoon, the creature let out a laugh, "Just as I thought. Humans are all talk and no bite."

As he continued to taunt, the early morning sun started to cast a soft, golden hue over the battle scene, creating a stark contrast between the serene environment and the imminent danger. The tranquil silence of the surrounding woods was interrupted by the crackling of the cocoon which had started to smoke and the sinister laughter of the creature. Suddenly, the cocoon wrapping around Tyree began to simmer with a strong wave of heat before it began to get enveloped in flames and burst open, revealing Tyree, who casually walked towards the creature, brushing off the remnants of sludge from his shoulders, stating, "Not bad for a weed."

As Jade continued to witness this, she couldn\'t help but mutter, "How is this possible? Humans using magic to fight disgusting creatures?"

Ashaiki put a hand on her shoulder before she briefly stated, "It\'s the unsealing event that grants humans the ability to use their locked abilities, but it also damns them against ever having a normal life again."

"What? Why would such abilities be sealed away? And what are the 5 clans anyways?"

"They are a group of five main houses that first broke the seal placed on humanity long ago," Ashaiki began.

"They all came together with a bond to defend humanity against any threat that may arise. There are even records of them fighting divine beings, but those battles are long in the past."

As their discussion carried on, Tyree dashed towards the creature. In response, it spewed a stream of purple acid toward him that burned away anything it came into contact with. This was followed by Tyree delivering a decisive burning fist right on the creature\'s face, sending it flying 10 feet in the opposite direction.

"Now what was that about all bark and no bite, you heap of garden vomit?" Tyree taunted.

As the scene unfolded, the gentle ripples of the river behind them provided a stark contrast to the fierce confrontation. The calm flow of water seemed to carry on without being disturbed, its surface reflecting the early morning sun and the fiery spectacle unfolding before it. Trying to rise from the ground, the creature began to slowly regenerate itself as its jaw had been dislocated because of the hit. It exclaimed, "This isn\'t right?! Humans are just food. Master stated I was only supposed to cause havoc and return with souls?!"

"Sorry, you ugly worm, but you\'ve got it wrong about us humans," Tyree retorted.

Squatting down to meet the creature\'s eyes, Tyree\'s eyes burned with hatred as he gripped the creature by its broken jaw before declaring, "You deserve everything that\'s coming your way. Humans have a nasty habit of fighting back."

The creature, annoyed, attempted to plant its hand into the ground, but Tyree crushed it with a kick. Despite this, the attack still went off as a dozen vines covered in thorns shot out in an attempt to swarm Tyree. However, he simply sidestepped out of the way, shocking Jade with his speed and quick response.

"That was almost as fast as Master Gojaro\'s speed," she remarked.

Realizing the futility of the situation, the creature attempted to make a dive into the river behind them only to collide with an invisible wall. Cursing out, it exclaimed, "What\'s going on?"

"Oh, you thought you were allowed to simply leave and terrorize people?" Tyree chided.

"No, no, I am sorry to say this, but you\'re trapped here with us. Not that we are trapped with you," he continued, his voice echoing over the serene river that now acted as a border between the creature\'s desperate escape and Tyree\'s relentless pursuit of vengeance along with his companions. "ARRRRRR"

In a final act of desperation, the creature roared out with its back against the invisible wall, creating a giant lotus plant from both his hands that began to charge up a large beam of green energy. Tyree was caught off guard as it launched the attack at an increased speed and while he tried to catch it, the creature dove into the ground before reappearing right behind him in an attempt to catch him off guard and strike a fatal blow.

Forming a grass blade, the creature attacked Tyree\'s back. However, with a smirk hung on the corner of his lips, Tyree sidestepped slightly as he caught the blade between his arm and turned around and jeered, "You can have this back."

Tyree\'s quick reflexes allowed him to evade the attack just in time, however, the creature, still surprised by Tyree\'s sudden movement, found itself momentarily disoriented, making it hard for the creature to dodge its own energy attack as Tyree deftly moved out of the path. The energy attack collided with the creature, giving rise to an explosion. As the creature tried to piece itself back together, Tyree walked over to its crumbling body and performed a triangle hex seal with his hands before declaring, "Burn to ashes and don\'t return."

As he stepped on the creature\'s exposed heart, it began to dissipate and fall apart, eventually decaying into nothing as the rest of the black sludge also started to fade away, leaving the serene riverbank at peace once again.

"Well, that\'s that, isn\'t it, y\'all?" he states with a big grin and an exaggerated accent, just as a voice cracked from somewhere around them.

"It sure seems like it. You sure are strong. Can I test my LUCK against you?"
