From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals Chapter 374 One Down

Lord Herald nodded. "He should be fine. The blade didn't pierce any vital points. But if that man can disable abilities just by coming in contact with our direct skin, then he's going to be a much bigger headache in the future."

Ty scoffed. "I could easily handle him; in all honesty, he was pretty slow the entire ti. But I have my hands full trying not to be killed for the entertainnt of a nation."

Herald's eyebrows furrowed at this comnt. "Do not disrespect the Titanis Goddess' wishes. This event is much more than that."

"If you say so," Ty shrugged, his tone nonchalant.

"Well, I will go talk strategy with my squad for now, and when you're ready, I will be excited to go over this arena layout," Ty declared, preparing to leave the discussion.

Lord Herald nodded as Ty walked away, noticing Kern still trying to rub the blood out of his uniform.

"What the hell is this stuff?" Kern muttered, looking down at the stains.

Ty, confused by Kern's ignorance, stated, "What, you don't know about the guy who just attacked the prison and, from what I heard, has been causing havoc around this continent?"

Kern scoffed and stated, "I can't be bothered with everything going on around the world, you know every person who killed soone or did sothing bad?"

"Well, I guess that's a good point, you got there, but regardless, you have to read the situation better in the future and react first and think later sotis."

"Yeah, I suppose you are right. Just didn't expect so weirdo to be spraying his blood around..."

"Regardless, the issue seems to be resolved for now, but who's to say it won't just happen again during the Arena? Makes almost want to bow out of this whole thing."

Ty tilted his head. "Oh yeah, I forgot volunteers can do that."

"Well, it's very shad and looked down upon, but given the circumstance, I imagine it wouldn't be too bad…"

John spoke up and stated, "You know for sure if you do it will still be a black eye on your entire family. It would be best to wait out and see what the kingdom does."

Kern shrugged and settled down in the corner. "Well, regardless, if we are to still stay in and this all goes as planned, how do we even want to go about this?" He sighed, a bit skeptical. "He dubbed us an assassination squad, but frankly, other than John and Gisorn, we don't really have any sneaking abilities."

Ty spoke up, eager to clarify the team's capabilities. "Wait, to confirm, what can everyone actually do?"

"I myself can create flas from my hand and pass it through the ground and through people. Other than that, I'm strong and fast, and quick on my feet—don't ss with if you don't want to die," he declared with a confident smirk.

Kern raised an eyebrow. "Okay, tough guy and all that, but what's your skills?" he teased. Discover hidden content at empire

"To be honest, it's these hands," Ty replied nonchalantly, then added, "But on a more serious note, I don't have abilities like you all do, but you can boil it down to that I can do a lot of stuff. Don't overthink it."

"How about you, Kern?" Ty redirected the question.

Kern responded thoughtfully, "Well, my first skill is nothing special. I have increased endurance with running and I can top 20 miles an hour running. My second skill," he paused, raising his hands to illustrate, "is the ability to control wind with my hands. It has a weird purple aura to it and can sever limbs easily."

Ty's gaze landed on John, curiosity written across his face. "Then how about you, John? I know he ntioned that you can create waypoints and teleport, and sothing about reading minds?"

John nodded, his expression affirming the description. "That's along the right line," he stated. "My first skill is that anyone I co in contact with I can read their imdiate thoughts. Not very useful, but I am above average and studied a lot of martial art forms, so I am reliable in close fighting, and my left hand places a portal and the right hand places the return portal."

He paused for a mont before continuing, "This relic I was given with three golden bracelets on each side allows to create different portals themselves, so I can have up to three portals fully open, leaving one of these golden bands behind. Otherwise, they close within a few seconds of not channeling any energy into them, which can be exhausting to maintain for long."

John shifted the focus back to the personal stakes. "Other than that, I have my two daughters, 14 and 16, locked away in prison, and I'm hoping that if I win this Arena, even just the first stage, I will raise enough money to get them out."

Kern, looking confused, questioned the plan. "What about all that black eye stuff? And that's assuming they would even approve a move like that, sponsors don't exactly pay you to back out..."

John acknowledged the risks. "True, but there is a loophole that states we get a percentage based on how many people are left when we back out. I don't overly care about getting a black eye if it ans getting them out... so yeah."

Ty nodded, then turned to another team mber. "What about you, Gisorn?" he inquired, recalling a bit of their shared history. "I believe that's what Kern called you, ntioned you two were childhood friends or sothing along those lines?"

Gisorn shook his head, not too keen on delving into personal details. "I'm not really keen on talking about myself much, but it is true that myself and Kern go way back, even if he is weaker than . We both co from the sa class."

Kern, slightly annoyed, just rolled his eyes as Gisorn, without changing expressions, added his capabilities. "I have perfect vision and can see around 2 miles ahead and am a master firearm instructor. My actual skill is ice manipulation, but I really only use it to distract soone before putting a bullet in their head."

And then that would leave one more right? Ty asked, as they looked around they saw Gerald in a stretcher with a purple small rod in his neck with blood pouring out.

"Huh, that's not good… "Ty and Kern stated, staring at him.
