From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

She continued, her voice resonating with a blend of resolve and satisfaction, "Just the idea of throwing a wrench in your schemes brings me more joy than you can imagine." During this declaration, an extraordinary transformation occurred.

Her wounds, once visible and raw, started to close and heal at an astonishing rate, as if time itself was reversing the damage inflicted upon her. Her eyes, previously reflecting the strain of battle, now glowed with an otherworldly light, piercing through the darkness that enveloped them.

The creature, who had once seemed so daunting and invincible, now appeared unsettled, his confidence faltering as he tried to grasp the reality of her true power.

But before he could fully comprehend the situation, or even formulate a response, she acted. Raising her hands, she unleashed a cataclysmic wave of energy. It surged forth from her palms, a spectacular torrent of light and force that engulfed the creature and the zombified humans standing idly by.

The energy crackled and roared as it consumed them, their forms disintegrating in a brilliant, fiery spectacle. The light from her attack illuminated the entire area, casting long, eerie shadows that danced on the surroundings.

As the last embers of her energy attack faded into the darkness, a profound silence settled over the scene.

Breathing heavily from the exertion, Ashaiki ran her hand across her forehead, wiping away the beads of sweat that had formed there. Her breaths came in short huffs, a testament to the intensity of the battle she had just endured. Despite the fatigue, a sense of accomplishment and determination was evident in her voice as she muttered to herself, "I guess I still have it.

I need to get back to HQ quickly and inform them about the fall of the Brazil division."

As she gathered her thoughts, a look of contemplation crossed her face. "The second hand is still out there, and there's definitely more to this than meets the eye. They would have launched a full-scale attack if they could, so something must be restraining them," she pondered, her finger tapping thoughtfully against her lip.

Her gaze hardened as she considered the implications. "That second hand, wherever it may be, is bound to cause trouble, probably more than we can foresee right now." Ashaiki knew that this was far from over.

(- Meanwhile, Back on planet sycle-)

Exhausted but triumphant, Ty and Todd stood amidst the aftermath of their fierce battle. Ty, catching his breath, boasted loudly, "I got 310 of them!" His voice echoed with a mix of fatigue and pride.

Todd, equally weary but not to be outdone, retorted with a huff, "Well, then I got 311!" He wielded his staff with impressive skill, his large green hands gripping it tightly as he stood tall and proud. Above them, the moon began to rise, casting a soft glow over the scene, adding an almost mystical quality to the moment.

Their fellow warriors, who had been watching from behind, looked on in awe at the sight of Ty and Todd. Their bravery and strength had turned the tide, clearing most of the creatures that had been relentlessly emerging from the ground.

Seeking some respite, Todd asked for a bottle of water. One of the warriors, clad in armor, approached him and handed him a flask, acknowledging his effort, "You've at least earned some water. Have you noticed all the creatures dropping those gem-like pieces?"

Todd gratefully accepted the flask, nodding as he eagerly gulped down the water, draining it quickly. "Yeah, I think so. What are they, anyway?" he asked, curiosity piqued despite his exhaustion.

The armored warrior explained, "Those gems enhance your weapon. Usually, a blacksmith is needed to forge them into a material that can be infused into your weapon. It amplifies whatever your weapon does, but to a higher degree."

The question posed by Todd prompted a moment of introspection for Ty. As he contemplated, the green flames flickering in his skeletal eyes seemed to intensify with his concentration. "I didn't really pay much attention, to be honest," he admitted, his voice echoing a hint of curiosity. Closing his eyes mentally, he delved into his inner self, searching through the souls he had acquired.

His focus was on detecting any new additions since their encounter with the wolfin creatures. After a brief pause, he snapped back to the present, a look of realization crossing his skeletal face. "Yeah, now that I think about it, nothing new has shown up. That is odd."

Just then, another creature surfaced from the ground, about half a mile away from the massive cave opening that had appeared.

Ty, undeterred by this new development, threw his hands in the air. In response, a pair of Kana blades, chained together and glinting menacingly in the moonlight, soared through the sky before landing deftly in his awaiting skeletal hands.

Acknowledging Todd's situation, Ty nodded in understanding. "Take care of yourself, Todd. I'll handle these," he said with a sense of determination. As Todd stepped back to tend to his reopening wounds and gather the dropped shards, Ty plunged into the fray with his usual skeletal efficiency.

The creatures, though fierce and relentless, were no match for Ty's prowess in battle. His movements were a blend of precision and power, each strike calculated and effective. He moved through them like a whirlwind, his chained Kana blades a blur of deadly efficiency. In a remarkably short time, he had dispatched the last of the creatures, restoring a temporary peace to the area.

As Ty was catching his breath, the distant sound of horses broke the silence. He turned, his confusion evident in the flickering green flames of his eyes, as six horses emerged from the tree line. The sound of a trumpet playing a quick, marching tune added to the surreal nature of the moment.

Leading the procession was a man with a deep beard and an eye patch, exuding an aura of authority and experience. He approached Ty and, with a hint of respect in his voice, said, "It is good to meet you, Skeleton. I have heard a lot about you."
