From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Jalen muttered, "You will see," as he brought both of his chained blades together.

Thinking to himself, His speed is still insane even in my transformed state, but I've almost broken down his entire dodge pattern. I'll be able to counter his dodging almost instantly. I have a solid 70% chance of hitting him, he calculated as numbers flashed in his head.

Erebos's wrist slowly shifted from yellow to orange, and he thought, I don't have much time to play around. I need to go all out from here on out!

Jalen yelled out, "Cursed Bearing, Shared Pain!"

His foot crunched off the ground, ready to erupt forward at Erebos. As soon as he did, a black pool opened beneath him, and he saw a face shimmer below as his feet sank in an inch.

Erebos closed the distance in an instant. Jalen saw an odd necklace dangling from Erebos's neck as he swung his fist.

Jalen struggled, his feet stuck in the black pool. He twisted his body, trying to free himself as Erebos's fist came closer. Erebos's punch connected with Jalen's jaw, sending him reeling, but Jalen managed to bring his blade up in a desperate arc.

The blade sliced into Erebos's stomach, a thin line of blood marking the successful strike. Erebos's eyes widened in shock and pain as he staggered back, clutching his wound. Jalen, despite being thrown to the ground, felt a grim satisfaction at the sight of his injury.

Jalen picked himself back up, gripping his stomach as bits of blood trailed from his wound. "Perfect," he snarled through gritted teeth. "I might have sustained some damage, but so have you. And now I've locked you down from using your abilities and regenerating!" His voice roared with defiance as he pressed his paw to his wound, which began to glow lightly and slowly close.

Erebos gripped his own wound, blood trickling down his side. A light bruise marred his face. "I see," he said, a hint of grudging respect in his voice. "I guess it makes sense the Demon King would take someone like you under his wing."

Turning his gaze towards King Griswald, Erebos called out, "King Griswald, my newly found Guard, please break this curse."

Jalen sneered, his eyes gleaming with fierce determination. "A mere human under the Demon King who has yet to experience his rebirth could not hope to break my curse. These chains will bind you until your final death."

King Griswald stepped forward, his expression resolute. As he did, a sinister black pool of liquid began to form around him. From its depths, the Yami King emerged, a dark aura enveloping him.

King Griswald and the Yami King stood side by side, their presence exuding an aura of dark power. The Yami King gripped his hand, a sinister smile on his face. "To still be alive right now is such a rush of a feeling, Griswald. You'll have to experience it someday."

King Griswald clenched his fist, bringing it up above his chest as a line of small crystals began to float around him. The crystals glowed with an eerie light, pulsating with latent energy.

Jalen watched them, his mind racing. Like hell I will just wait for him to do whatever he's planning.

He removed his hand from his wound, which had now closed, and gripped the handle of his sickle blade. He shifted into a low stance, the weapon held in a square formation. His muscles tensed, ready for action.

"It's time I show what I have learned after centuries," Jalen roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. "This planet's technique was always one of my favorites." His blades erupted into a red and black energy, the colors swirling and crackling with intensity.

"First form, A Demon's Dash!" Jalen's muscles flexed as he erupted off the ground, moving with blinding speed. He sliced through the Yami King, the blade cutting him into two pieces. The Yami King's body fell to the ground with a heavy thud, darkness seeping from the wound.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Without pausing, Jalen lunged at King Griswald, his blade aimed for the kill. King Griswald's eyes widened, but he reacted swiftly. The floating crystals around him shot forward, forming a protective barrier that intercepted Jalen's strike.

The impact sent shockwaves through the air, the clash of energies lighting up the battlefield. Jalen pushed against the barrier, his blade sparking against the crystalline shield. King Griswald gritted his teeth, focusing his power through the scepter to reinforce the barrier.

As the barrier cracked and began to shatter, King Griswald brought his hand up to a level position, his fingers splayed and trembling slightly with the surge of power. "I demand you return to me, Dragoon," he muttered. The soul of the Dragoon, which had latched onto Jalen's back, detached and flew towards Griswald just as the barrier shattered.

The soul melded into King Griswald, who sidestepped gracefully and plunged his own hand into his chest. With a firm grasp, he pulled out the Crystalline Scepter of Absorption, its multifaceted orb glowing ominously.

"A mighty weapon you have, but my weapon will prove more powerful. I am ready to protect my kingdom and my world. I know I stand on the right side, and I refuse to allow my world to fall into decay!" Griswald declared, his voice echoing with conviction.

Jalen, ignoring Griswald's grandiose words, prepared for his second attack. He dropped into a low stance, stretching the chain of his sickle to its furthest extent while keeping a wary eye on Erebos, who had moved to a corner, his wound still bleeding.

With a powerful eruption off the ground, Jalen launched himself at Griswald. But just as he surged forward, he felt a sudden tug on his leg. He glanced behind him to see the Yami King, his body stitched back together with blood, a black shadow gripping Jalen's leg.

"This same trick again?" Jalen snarled, his frustration evident.

The Yami King smirked, his eyes glowing with malevolence. "You can't escape the shadows," he hissed, his grip tightening.
