From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 305: Accidental Kiss

The fairy turned to the Lieutenant with disbelief. "Excuse me?! I don't recall us talking about this at any point?! What would happen to me?"

The Lieutenant's smirk widened. "I will feed you to my pet Grondire."

"A-A what?!" the fairy stammered, confusion and fear mixing in her voice.

"It's a type of bird with a mighty beak. Very good at delivering mail but loves a good treat from time to time."

"I-I don't want to be eaten though," the fairy protested, her voice laced with panic.

Ty couldn't help but smirk as he picked up the sword. "Don't worry, I won't let something like that happen."

Yun-Jin, observing the exchange, couldn't suppress a big grin. "We have a deal," she declared. "I will go all out from the get-go!"

With that, she drew her bow again, unleashing 50 arrows of light toward Ty. He, however, seemed unfazed, focusing on the sword as black flames danced around it.

Ty closed his eyes, seeking a deeper connection. "Hey, inner demon or whatever you are, you awake?" he whispered into the silence, reaching out for the entity within.

Inside Ty's mind, a small, crackling voice responded, "Of course, just gotta give me a call. What's up?"

"How did you do that flaming arrow?" Ty inquired, curiosity lacing his thoughts.

The entity within him grinned, its presence a flicker in his mental landscape. "Just imagine a bow and separate the black into an extension of yourself. Imagine the creation of the bow itself."

It then offered, a hint of mischief in its tone, "If you want, I can take over and kill that annoying girl for ya."

"No, I don't think I will need to go that far. Not if I can somehow change the perception of me, so they understand I am not a demon," Ty thought back, determined to prove his identity on his own terms.

The flames intensified around her face, a wild, unbridled energy emanating from her. Ty cursed under his breath, realizing words would not reach her in this state.

She was beyond reasoning, her only focus on defeating him as she aimed an open palm strike towards his face, her movements a blur of speed and fire.

Ty's frustration reached a boiling point. "Listen to me, damn it!" he shouted, the urgency in his voice piercing through the flames.

In a swift motion he grasped Yun Jin's wrist, leveraging her momentum to flip her onto her side. The fiery vortex that had encapsulated them began to dissipate, revealing the concrete beneath them.

"Like hell I would," Yun Jin retorted, her defiance unyielding even as she found herself momentarily at a disadvantage. In an instant, she regained her composure, dodging Ty's impulsive headbutt. She countered with a swift maneuver, locking Ty's head under her arm in a chokehold that was as much about control as it was about sending a message.

The struggle intensified as Ty, refusing to be subdued, tapped into a reservoir of strength he hadn't known he possessed. With a grunt of effort, he rose to his full height, carrying Yun Jin's weight as if to prove his resolve. In a move that was part brute strength, part desperation, he spun, hurling her off him with a force that sent her crashing into a nearby wall.

The impact of Yun Jin's collision with the dojo wall sent a shudder through the structure, dust motes dancing in the air disturbed by the force. Ty, his breath coming in ragged gasps from the exertion and heat of battle, saw an opening and lunged forward, intent on leveraging every advantage.

Yun Jin, her back against the wall, eyes alight with the fierce determination of a cornered predator, braced for his advance.

As Ty closed the distance, Yun Jin pushed off the wall with surprising agility, aiming to use his own momentum against him. In a fluid motion, she sidestepped, her arm extended to redirect his charge. Ty, anticipating a counterattack, attempted to pivot, his own arm reaching out to grab her and maintain his balance.

Their calculated movements collided with the unpredictability of combat. Ty's hand found Yun Jin's shoulder instead of air, pulling her toward him as he tried to steady his off-balance charge. Yun Jin, caught in the pull, twisted, her intention to escape his grasp converting into a forced spin.

In the chaos of their movements, as Ty stumbled forward and Yun Jin spun around, their faces aligned unintentionally. The momentum brought them crashing together, their lips meeting in a brief, electric connection that neither had anticipated.

As they both backed away, flushed, the fairy screamed out, "What the hell was that?" Ty responded, "That was not intended," as Yun Jin, also flushed, stuttered over her words.

Seizing a brief opening, Ty planted his hand into the ground, causing his black flames to surge through it. A pillar of black flames erupted, slamming into Yun Jin's stomach and knocking her down to her knees, gasping for air and scrambling for a counterattack.

Ty said, "Please, don't. I really don't want you getting any more hurt than you have. I can't die here. I have too many people waiting for me back home. So please. Just stop."

Her mix of anger and confusion evident, Yun Jin threw her head back on the ground in defeat.
