Chapter 35 Head Ripping Action



Chapter 35  Head Ripping Action

Ty's mind swirled with considerations for the best approach as the Yami King advanced towards him. "Why are you so obsessed with me?" Ty asked, expressing his bewilderment. "I don't even think you cared this much about Elithira."

The Yami King grinned malevolently. "Every zombified soldier of mine served as a new pair of eyes and ears for me. Your ability to control a living dead fascinated me most," he admitted.

"What fascinated me the most about you was your ability to harness and control a living corpse! I had to be sure of your ability to keep a crumbling body intact, though."

"That's why I had the head captain visit your group. Although he did go off course even after I had instructed him solely to investigate your escape and keep a close eye on you. Nevertheless, the results I got were just amazing."

"To think you can not only control this skeleton body but wield the power of other souls you have killed and taken away is truly remarkable."

The Yami King slowly lost focus of the conversation as he daydreamed about the possibilities he could commit with a power like that.

Abruptly, the Yami King ripped an invisible corner piece off the right side of his face, and declared, "I won't need this finicky relic to disguise myself as others when I can just use your soul to steal bodies. I will go from ruling this kingdom to taking down the other three standing nations, and they will be none the wiser."

Giving a slight chuckle, Ty asserted, "I couldn't care any less about your fruitless conquest. Why not just fight it out fair and square? Or you are simply afraid to lose a fight?"

"I live by the mantra of working smarter, not harder. Plus, those other nations all killed their 'heroes' and established their realms a long time ago. So, I can't fathom what abilities they might have until I'm ready to completely invade."

Placing his hand over Ty's skull, he continued, "But the first task is getting my hands on your body and taking your ability for my own."

As his hand was fully placed over Ty's skull, Ty unleashed a burst of heat that enveloped him in black and orange flames, incinerating the zombified guards and revealing the unexpected figure of a tall man behind him.

Internally, Ty thought, 'So that was the one applying that pressure I felt before, perhaps his ability?' Swiftly reacting as the Yami King had started to withdraw his hand, Ty grabbed it and quipped, "Oh, where do you think you're going?" A loud battle cry echoed behind Ty as the wind from an incoming fist smashed into the back of his skull, crushing the hand as it made contact. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seizing the opportunity, Ty attacked, by using his elbow bone as a blade and drove into the man's neck, dropping him instantly. Memories flooded in from this man's life—from his birth to the life of a petty thief who abused and took advantage of his size to get ahead.

"Trash," Ty simply stated, before snapping the Yami King's hand. The action slowly exposed the bone, prompting an agonized cry from the Yami King, as he forced his way out of Ty's reach. "You damn waste for an existence!" he shouted. "I will make you pay for that!"

A black fog started to envelop around his hand before it dissipated away, revealing a completely healed hand as he unsheathed his blade. Emitting a black hue, he slammed it into the ground in a circular motion, creating a hexagonal formation of black and red around him as he dived towards Ty while proclaiming, "Let me see if you can stand up to an impossible shield."

As the attack approached Ty, he simply took a step forward, his dark cape fully let down, as it flowed behind him and his emerald green eyes flaring with red tips. As the soul of the Head Captain coursed through his bones and body, he effortlessly walked through the barrier, shattering it into oblivion, thus Yami King's attempt to slice Ty was met with a resounding kick from Kieran, who had positioned herself between the two while the Yami King had nearly lost his arm thanks to Ty.

"Sorry, Ty, but he is mine to kill and take in," Kieran said, turning to Ty.

"CLINKK"

Meanwhile, a sound of something metallic falling on the ground echoed, and that was when Ty realized that after being kicked by Kieran, the Yami King's relic might have been dropped while he was complaining about him.

Taking a moment to think about it, Ty simply stated to Kieran, "Give him hell," before squatting down and picking up the relic. Seeing him squat and pick something from the ground, Kieran asked with a look of confusion on her face, "What's that?"

"It's nothing to you, just my reason for being here. To be honest, I think your presence here is more peculiar than mine." "Wait, you aren't here to save this world?" Kieran asked, her brows raised high.

"No, no. I think that might be Elithira's thing, though if she wants me to, I will help her. But she's strong enough on her own." Ty shook his head.

Just as he said that the ground beneath them both began to shake as the doors swung open, Kaiko and Todd barged in rushing with fear in their eyes.

Before Ty could grasp what was going on, Kieran stated, "There are still a few minutes before this world is cleansed," as she pulled out a small pocket watch that was counting down from 180 seconds.

"Hey, maybe lend me a hand if you want. I know we started off on the wrong foot, but–" Kieran said with her lips pursed, not sure if Ty would help her.

Without wasting another breath, Ty lunged towards the Yami King, who had been storing up energy and unleashed a powerful attack with his blade that covered everything it touched in black shadows.

However, Ty managed to leap over the attack, delivering a direct punch to the Yami King's back, sending him flying in Kieran's direction, who delivered an attack with her fist that was imbued with a blue hue, crushing his ribs, sending him skidding towards the ground.

Meanwhile, the entire roof of the castle caved in, revealing the sky that was slowly folding in on itself as large purple energy shards crashed into the planet one by one.

Looking up in disbelief, the Yami King cursed, "What in the hell is going on?" While a raspy voice behind him stated, "Judgment day."

"Come, Inabaru!" Suddenly a flash of fire rose behind the Yami King. But just as he tried to turn around, he was met with a blade that pierced his stomach.

Sogetsu, who was still hobbling to stay on his feet, was assisted by the talking sword he called Inabaru.

Desperate to cling to life, the Yami King wrapped his hand around Inabaru's jaw, trying to crush it before; but in a swift motion, the Yami King felt weightless as his head was severed from his shoulders.

Ty placed his hand on top of the Yami King and said, "I don't know who this is, but he's special to Elithira, and that's enough for me," before completely ripping his head off his shoulder as an array of memories flooded in him, however, this time the memory fragment was that of a black void where a small snake broke off its own skin before burrowing into the ground and escaping away.

Confused by this, Ty observed as hundreds of blue orbs began to jet inward toward him as his vision began to blur. Elithira however, was shocked at the current state of events, after seeing how things had unfolded so quickly.
