The woman's plea grew more fervent. "Even if you are a demon, please ensure he ets his end. He's committed atrocities far worse than any demon has ever inflicted upon ." Her hands gripped the stone railings tightly, her distress palpable.
However, her words were t with hostility from the crowd. Boos echoed around her, and she soon beca the target of thrown food and various objects. The scene was a stark display of the crowd's fickle nature, their reactions swayed by the spectacle before them.
As Ty's gaze lifted through the settling dust, he caught sight of the woman above him. For a brief, heart-stopping mont, her long black hair and fair complexion reminded him of Jade. This fleeting illusion triggered a vivid mory – the last mont with Jade, and the pink thread she had entrusted to him.
Moving almost instinctively, Ty noticed a pink thread materializing in his hand, a tangible connection to that poignant mory. Brushing off the remnants of the rubble, he saw Fernando basking in the chaos he had incited. Unfazed, Ty leaped onto the railing, drawing the attention of the crowd and the distraught woman.
"Here, this is for you," Ty called out to her, his voice cutting through the noise. The woman's tears flowed freely, her confusion evident. "Huh? What are you talking about?" she responded, her voice shaky with emotion.
Ty's eyes, now a soft blue, conveyed sincerity and compassion. "Just hold out your hand," he said gently, as drones buzzed around him, capturing this unexpected act of kindness amidst the turmoil.
With a tremulous hand, the woman extended her palms. Ty carefully placed the coiled pink thread in her grasp, his touch gentle. "I believe this belongs to you. Keep it close for now," he advised softly.
As a warm light began to envelop Ty once more, he reached out, tenderly wiping away her tears. "There's no need for tears, especially from soone as strong as you. You've co here to see justice served for your parents. Let yourself be part of this mont, and enjoy the show," he reassured her with a compassionate smile.
The woman, her cheeks flushed with a light pink hue, nodded silently, her speech montarily lost in the wave of emotions stirred by Ty's gesture.
Before the mont could fully settle, Fernando, evidently losing patience with the sentintal scene, transford into a streak of energy. He reappeared above Ty, aiming to reclaim the spotlight. "Oh, don't let this dem—" he began, his voice cutting through the tense air.
Just as Fernando began to speak, Ty sprang into action. With a powerful leap off the railing, he launched a precise, forceful kick directly at Fernando's face. The impact sent Fernando careening across the arena, ultimately crashing into the far wall with a resounding thud.
Turning back to the woman, Ty placed a reassuring hand on her head. "Now, make sure you enjoy the show," he said with a confident smile, offering her a final mont of comfort.
Ty then gracefully dropped back to the arena floor, readying himself for the next phase of the battle. Almost imdiately, Fernando, recovering from the blow, charged at him, attacking from multiple angles in a blur of movent.
As Ty braced himself, he drew upon his inner strength and mories. "Even though Erebos stripped sothing from , the experiences and battles I've endured still resonate within ," he thought, his resolve hardening. He took a deep breath, centering himself amidst the chaos, prepared to counter Fernando's relentless assault with the sum of his skills and experience.
Ty, sensing the air slicing towards him from four directions, reacted instantly.
Black flas erupted, intercepting each incoming attack.
With a swift movent, he channeled flas beneath his feet, propelling himself forward with a burst of speed that montarily matched Fernando's.
As he closed the gap, the black flas encased Fernando's energy in a sphere, allowing Ty a clear shot. He delivered a powerful, targeted punch straight to Fernando's chest.
The impact sent Fernando hurtling to the ground, his energy barely managing to slip through Ty's flas and reform. Grasping his chest in pain, Fernando struggled to regain his composure. Ty, with a confident smirk, taunted, "Was that three broken ribs or four?"
Ty, unfazed, quickly conjured a wall of black flas in front of him, ready to deflect the incoming attack. "You think I need my—" he began, but his words were cut short. In a stunning display of agility, Fernando maneuvered around the fla barrier, reappearing on the other side with the knife in hand.
Before Ty could react, Fernando's electrified hand made contact with the black fla shield, dispersing it with a burst of energy. In one fluid, ruthless motion, he plunged the blade into Ty's neck and followed with a forceful kick to the chest. Ty was sent tumbling across the arena floor, rolling until he crashed against the wall.
Fernando stood tall, his voice laced with mockery as he called out, "I'd like to see you counter that."
The crowd erupted into a mix of gasps and cheers, the brutality of the mont captivating them. Ty lay by the wall, the seriousness of his situation now starkly evident.
Inside the depths of his own mind, Ty found himself confronting a solitary, floating eye. The eye spoke with a sense of urgency, "I told you to let take control. I could have handled him. Once you lose consciousness, I'll do what I can to save you, but it's likely you'll die."
Ty, despite the dire situation, managed a smirk. "I pushed myself to the brink of death deliberately. I wanted to et you, face to face." He paused, collecting his thoughts. "His blade didn't truly pierce my neck. The mont it began to penetrate, I lted it with my flas. But now, I've exhausted my energy and can't continue the fight.
So, I'll leave the rest to you."
He looked directly at the eye, a new understanding dawning within him. "I've denied your presence, your help, and that might have limited my ability to confront Erebos. But seeing you now, in this weakened state, I'm willing to trust you more. Please, take over and resolve this. I promise to find a way to balance our partnership in the future."
With this newfound trust, Ty relinquished control, allowing the entity within to erge and take charge. It was a pivotal mont, marking not just a shift in the physical battle but also a transformation in Ty's internal journey, as he acknowledged and accepted the entity's role in his life.
