From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Demitrix, getting a voice message back from her father, stated,

"Please limit exposure with Ty to a minimum from here on out and anyone else in his group.

There is a possibility of Angelic interference, so I will be sending Jallen in a few months to ensure the planet's safety and, if need be, your extraction.

Keep up the good work, and try not to oversleep too much.

Love, Father."

Well, at least he responded quickly, though he didn't even bother to talk about Ty's situation. Though he always has his own ways, I guess.

"Who was that?" a voice creaked as the door opened up to her office room.

"Oh, you finally woke up?"

Ty, holding a hand over his skull, states, "What did you do to me? I woke up for the first time ever feeling no pain."

"Also, did you have to force a pill down my skeleton like that?!"

She had a small smirk on her face as she said, "Sorry about that; it was the quickest way to get the effects to kick in. Plus, I wanted to see if it would work."

Demitrix, her voice tinged with a mixture of resignation and intrigue, explained,

"Your body disintegrated the pill almost instantly, which made the effects take hold right away. I'm not smart enough to grasp why it worked, but somehow, it did."

She paused, her gaze drifting away thoughtfully. "However, you've lingered here a bit too long, Ty. And as much as I hate to, I need to send you on your way. But, I do look forward to our paths crossing again."

A faint smile played on her lips. "Have fun at the ceremony."

Ty, confusion, and urgency lacing his tone, interjected, "Wait, I still have more questions about—"

Before he could finish, Demitrix, with a swift and decisive snap of her fingers, interrupted him. The floor beneath Ty morphed suddenly, turning a stark black with eerie green lines weaving through it.

As it dissolved into nothingness, Ty found himself falling through the now-empty space, his voice trailing off into the vacuum of the sky.

Lost in the sudden confusion of the moment, Ty engaged his black flames, activating the barrier ability along his feet.

He soared back towards the sky, aiming for the small building's location.

However, upon his ascent, he found nothing. The location had vanished, as if it had never been there.

"I wonder if she can move it then?" Ty pondered, rubbing the temple of his skeletal skull. "Also, it sounded like she was getting a message from the Demon King." He shrugged slightly after further thought. "I guess I should try to get back to Todd and Nana. Are they still waiting at the bridge, I wonder?"

For the moment, he decided to put back on his disguise. "I shouldn't be too worried about a bandit having seen my skeleton form. Though, in hindsight, killing him would have been the more optimal play."

Placing the device back into his skeletal socket, he mused, "Well, I guess there's no use in worrying about it too much right now."

Looking around, he realized his predicament. "Where the hell am I, though? Really should have studied that map a bit more." He stated, floating high in the sky.

"Using only one soul at a time seems to have little exhaustion on myself, at least for now," Ty pondered out loud, his voice tinged with curiosity. "I do wonder if it's something that I just have to do endlessly until I build a better adaptation to it." His gaze was fixed on the horizon as he contemplated his abilities.

"It seems to have been working with the black flames. I guess only time will tell," he mused, just as he began to descend beneath the clouds.

Suddenly, the endless ocean sprawled out beneath him, with land visible in the far distance.

"So either I have terrible direction, or we were probably moving the entire time while hovering in the sky," he pondered to himself.

As Ty jetted along the ridges of the water, trying to hurry back to land, the water's surface began to churn.

A massive amount of bubbles surfaced, breaking the calm of the sea. Without warning, a giant black serpent erupted from the water, its jaws wide open in an attempt to snap at Ty.

"Great, just another thing to deal with right now," Ty muttered, his tone laced with mild annoyance. He hovered slightly above the creature, deep in contemplation.

His gaze fixated on the small bolts of electricity dancing across its body. Thoughtfully, he brought his skeletal hand up to his sharp chin, pondering his next move.

After a moment of silence, a spark of realization flickered in his eyes. With a decisive snap of his fingers, he exclaimed, "Aha, I know what to do."

Giving the creature a long, unflinching stare, Ty noted its red eyes gleaming with malice, accented by small cords of blue running along its body.

With a calculated move, he dived towards the creature, deftly dodging a strike before continuing along the water's surface, decisively ignoring the menacing creature as he made his way toward the coastline.

I'm short on time; why would I waste my time fighting a giant eel or snake? he thought to himself, rationalizing his decision.

Though it might possess a useful ability, I don't have to engage with everything that crosses my path, he reassured himself mentally.

Ty's thoughts turned inward as he pondered his current situation. Until I can fully understand the issues with that voice, I'd prefer to limit exhausting myself too much, he mused. There seems to be a connection between the two. However, if push comes to shove, I need to be prepared with a plan.

With this thought, Ty refocused on his journey ahead, remaining alert and ready for any eventuality.

Zooming past the water, he finally returned to the bridge. Absorbed in thoughts about his next steps, he noticed the sun breaking through the clouds. Landing at the end of the bridge, he looked around and said aloud, "This does look like the right place, but where did Nana and Todd go?"

Though I suppose they wouldn't wait all night for—

Suddenly, Ty's thoughts were interrupted by a voice calling out his name.

He quickly turned his attention in the direction of the sound and saw Nana sitting in a corner.

In an instant, she sprang to her feet, her face lighting up with a mix of relief and excitement upon seeing him.
