From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 172: The Yami Kings Return

Erebos, with a swift and decisive movement, shook off the chains that had bound him. As they clattered to the ground, they disintegrated, fading into nothing but wisps of energy. He then proceeded to dust off his suit with an air of nonchalance. "I have many friends in far places," he remarked, his voice steady and confident.

Placing a comforting hand around the old Yami King, who appeared somewhat disheveled, Erebos conveyed both support and camaraderie.

"It's a pleasure to meet you again, my lord," he said, bringing a hand over his chest in a gesture of respect. His eyes held a glint of relief and triumph as he continued, "I didn't expect to actually make it out alive of that mess. But, in the end, it went just like you predicted."

Meanwhile, the Demon King, overwhelmed by frustration and disbelief, cursed under his breath. In a sudden movement driven by emotion, he brought both hands above his chest, clenching them tightly. The tension in his voice was palpable as he turned to Mr. Dracula, "You saw that liquid, right?"

Dracula, with a tone of deep understanding mixed with a hint of mystery, responded to the query. "Yes, I'm well aware of it. But, I'm not entirely certain how he managed to even sign a contract, Mr. K."

He then reflected on the situation further, "This is probably related to his mother's demise. He's been on a descent ever since then, but I never would have guessed it would lead him here."

Who even is that weak man in front of Erebos right now? Dracula requested

Upon being asked about the weak-looking individual, The Demon King's expression turned more serious. "That is the Yami King," he explained. "He once wielded his unique ability to steal and infect others, using it to assert his control over the region of Alexiera. However, his reign was significantly undermined when the Angelic Race introduced the X virus into the region.

This action by the Angelic Race was a decisive blow that not only affected the area but also weakened the Yami King to the state we see now."

Erebos, his presence ever imposing, interjected into their dialogue, the black liquid ominously dripping from his hand. "I had such great plans for Ty and that gauntlet before you intervened," he said with a tone of regret laced with malice. "Had you not, all his friends would already be dead, and I would have broken at least two more of his locks, you know."

He paused, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "But I still have more planning to do before the true King of everything can be released," Erebos declared, clapping his hands together. At this moment, the Yami King, overwhelmed by the unfolding events, faltered to one knee, confusion written all over his face. "What's going on?!" he exclaimed, seeking clarity amidst the chaos.

As Erebos placed a reassuring hand on his back, the throne room was suddenly shaken by a giant shimmer. The door burst open, revealing a man dressed in a pristine white suit and tie. "My King, what's going on?" he demanded, his eyes quickly taking in the scene — Erebos, the Yami King, and the others present.

Noticing Erebos and the man standing before him, the newcomer reacted swiftly. He pulled a metal bar from his side, flicking it expertly as it extended out by 8 inches. With a swift motion, he rushed towards Erebos, his intentions clear and his movements precise.

As the situation in the throne room escalated, the Demon King's urgent warning cut through the tension. "Don't let him touch you! He's a one-hit kill right now," he shouted, his voice laced with urgency.

In the next split second, a dramatic turn of events unfolded. The Yami King exploded into a mist of black liquid, shooting out towards both the Demon King and the Vampire King.

The Vampire King reacted with remarkable speed, quickly producing a silver object and uttering the word "Rejoice!" As the liquid approached, it splattered against an invisible wall and swiftly faded into nothingness, thwarted by the Vampire King's quick thinking and mysterious artifact.

Meanwhile, Erebos, ever composed, turned his attention to the man in the white suit. "And who may you be?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued by this unexpected intruder.

The man in the white suit, exuding a mix of annoyance and resolve, responded while loosening his tie. "I was supposed to be on vacation on the beach, but I woke up here and was assigned door duty. I've dealt with bastards like you before," he declared, his glasses slipping slightly, revealing his light blue eyes. He closed the distance with Erebos effortlessly, launching a swing at him.

Erebos, quick on his feet, jumped over the man, attempting to touch his back with the black liquid. However, the man in the white suit was equally agile, countering with a backward swing of his metal bar that connected with Erebos' head, creating a loud 'ding' sound. Erebos, unfazed and smiling, acknowledged the man's skill. "You've got some talent, huh?"

Erebos, demonstrating his agility and command over his powers, recoiled into the air. With a swift motion, he swiped his hand, launching a bullet of black liquid towards the man in the white suit at an astonishing speed. The man, realizing the imminent danger, cursed under his breath. "Shit, I can't dodge this in time. I have to wait for her to get here though!" he thought, bracing for the impact.

However, in a sudden turn of events, the Demon King appeared in front of the man, exuding an aura of power and control. With a casual but precise swipe of his hand, he effortlessly dispelled the liquid attack. "Good job holding him off for 10 seconds. Take care of yourself now!" he said, acknowledging the man's effort.

At that moment, the Vampire King emerged from a portal directly behind Erebos. In a decisive and swift action, he plunged his hand into Erebos's back. "I never thought I would have to kill you, but you left me no other choice, EREBOS!" he declared, his voice laden with a mix of regret and resolve.
