From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals-Chapter 597 Fired Up
Cuiolt of lightning crackling into life, its electric arcs causing cracks in the ground, the pressure weighing down on everyone present. Even Ty and John could feel their knees buckling under the raw force of it.
Finally, The book-wielding man lifted a single finger, and a tiny glowing dot formed at its tip. "Poison's Touch!" he said, his voice a menacing whisper. The dot hovered at the end of his finger, glowing with a sinister light. Discover hidden content at novelbuddy
The book-wielding man spread his arms wide, all the different energies swirling together in a terrifying display of raw, unfettered power. "Now go and die, you damned demon, and you—other weakling." His voice echoed in the chamber, filled with malice. "I'll write about your pathetic demise when I ascend to the top!"
The book-wielding man swiped his hand across his chest, and the attack launched forward, a chaotic maelstrom of light, flame, lightning, and poison streaking towards Ty and John. It tore across the room, the air vibrating from its sheer power.
Ty's eyes narrowed, and his mind raced. "Do you have a plan for this? Or do I need to try something insane?" he asked, his eyes steady as he locked his gaze on John, waiting for a response. He considered, for the briefest moment, letting the demon take over. The idea lingered, the promise of overwhelming power tantalizingly close.
Before Ty could dwell on the thought, John let out a dry chuckle. The green tint of poison that had spread across his face was now completely gone. "Nah," he said, sounding almost amused. "I planned for this actually. But if this doesn't work perfectly, you better come up with something quick."
John snapped his fingers. One of his rings spun up from the ground where it had fallen, expanding rapidly. A shimmering portal appeared in front of them, swallowing" just moments before it could hit. The energy vanished into the swirling void, leaving a stunned silence in its wake.
Ty blinked, about to say something when John motioned upwards. Above Cui and his partner, the book-wielding man, another portal formed. Without warning, the chaotic attack burst forth, descending upon them like divine retribution. The two men barely had time to react before the full brunt of the combined attack was upon them.
The book-wielding man's eyes widened in shock, but his arms moved quickly, summoning a shield just in time. The energy of the combined attack smashed into it, causing the force field to crack, rumbling violently as it absorbed the impact. The surface beneath them fractured, the entire castle shaking under the strain. A chunk of the ceiling broke loose, hurtling toward Ty and John.
Ty's eyes widened as the massive rock plummeted, but John acted first, shoving Ty out of the way. The rock crashed down, catching John on the side of his head, sending him sprawling to the ground. Ty scrambled back up, flames erupting from his hands, the black fire creating a protective barrier around both of them.
As the smoke cleared, Ty looked down at John, noticing the blood trickling from a reopened wound on John's side. His friend was still conscious, though barely, his breaths labored. John gave a weak grin, his eyes half-lidded. "I... read the green guy's thoughts... he's the King," he managed to say, his voice fading as he slumped back, unconscious.
Ty clenched his jaw, breathing heavily as his gaze snapped back to their enemies. The book-wielding man remained standing, though just barely, his shield cracked and flickering, a testament to the attack's power. His chest heaved with exhaustion as he raised his hands high, trying to summon more energy. He dropped to one knee, sweat pouring down his face. "Just... another minute... and this should be over," he rasped, his voice strained.
Ty's eyes narrowed, a sick feeling rising in his stomach. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a drone hovering nearby, its lens focusing on them, broadcasting every moment. And through that lens, he saw another scene—a view of Alexander launching himself at Fernando, the battle on the other side as fierce as ever. Ty clenched his teeth. "I can't lose here," he thought to himself. "And more than that, I can't let John die... not until I know everything about him."
Ty's eyes shifted upward, noticing the sky through the shattered roof, the clouds parting to reveal a floating rectangular sphere far above them. He took a deep breath, recognizing the presence. "She's watching," he thought, his resolve hardening.
Sliding his hand to his waist, he grabbed the hilt of the sword Erebos had given him. He exhaled slowly, channeling his flames through the blade, the burning sensation searing his skin but fueling his determination. He pushed off the broken wall, his body blurring forward. In a blink, a trail of black energy seared through the air, Ty slicing through the broken barrier with precision. He reached Cui, his sword cutting clean through his chest.
The book-wielding man, still holding his cracked force field, froze in disbelief. His jaw dropped slightly, his eyes wide as he muttered, "How... did you... know...?"
Cui crumpled to the ground, his body lifeless. The book-wielder's will seemed to shatter, and he fell to his knees, the fight leaving his eyes.

The drone hovered silently for a moment before flaring a bright message: "First Round Over!"
Ty stood still, his heart pounding in his chest as time seemed to stop. The thud of Cui's body hitting the ground echoed in his ears, the weight of it almost palpable. He felt something sink inside him—a hollow sensation that twisted in his gut. A strange glow emanated from Cui's lifeless form, a small blue orb lifting out of the corpse, drifting upward as if it were trying to escape into the sky.
Ty's eyes widened as a chain shot out from his blade, the burning sensation in his arm intensifying. The silver tendrils extended higher, wrapping around his arm with a relentless force. He watched in disbelief as the orb resisted for a moment before being pulled down, dragged into the blade as a whirlwind of energy surged around him. The tendrils retracted, and Ty's strength gave out, his knee hitting the ground with a dull thud.
