From Human to Skeleton: Revived with Infinite System Crystals

Chapter 65: Unexpected Sighting

Ty gave Nana a slight pat on the head, which she promptly swatted away, and she shouted, "I'm not some—Oh, I mean, thank you for your kindness, sir, but I'm okay."

Mattison, somewhat surprised by her mixed reaction, glanced over at Ty. "Are we sure she's okay?"

Ty chuckled and finished wiping himself down from the blood. "Yeah, she's just a straightforward girl, that's all."

Mattison nodded and observed the field, taking in the gruesome sight of the bulky man with his head exploded open in eight gruesome pieces, and his hammer lying beside him. He then turned his attention to the skinny fellow who had his face half burnt and crushed.

"I guess I was right to think you could handle yourself, but I wasn't expecting you to be so messy," Mattison remarked.

Ty chuckled lightly. "Well, I did mention I'm a more hands-on person. Where I come from, we don't use weapons too much, but I still know my way around a sword if I have to swing one," he said with a warm smile.

"I stopped by the INN to check on you all this morning, but you had already left," Mattison began, recounting his morning.

"The old INN keeper had that orc of yours in an apron, cleaning the fans and dusting all the high-to-reach places."

He continued, "Can't say I ever expected to see that, especially from such a bloodthirsty race."

Nana burst into laughter, and Ty merely shrugged.

"I told you we aren't from these lands, so he probably isn't related to any green-skinned creatures you're thinking of," Ty explained.

"But was there anything we could do for you? We were going to check out the local church before resting up a bit more and heading toward the capital."

Mattison, still a bit perplexed, continued to dig further, asking, "Why go to the church? Wouldn't it just make more sense to rush the young lady back to her family right away?"

As they made their way back toward the town, Ty discreetly nudged Nana on her shoulder and whispered to her about the need for a map, given that it might contain more updated information compared to what they already had in the folder of items.

Nana agreed, noting that the information they had was already a year outdated, and having an updated map could be useful.

Upon arriving at a large rectangular building with a diamond-shaped symbol and the letters "POP" in the center of it, they noticed the blue metal doors.

Mattison pushed the doors aside, guiding them into the building and explaining that they would find assistance in an office located downstairs.

The hallway they walked through was adorned with unusual lights that seemed to have an electric nature but also possessed a magical quality.

These lights emitted a mesmerizing wrapping motion, creating swirling circles that gave the impression of a magical element being at play in their illumination.

As they continued through the building, Ty couldn't help but think to himself. He recalled the notes he had read about the kingdom having some technological advancements, but for the most part, everything seemed to resemble a standard fantasy kingdom from the pages of a storybook.

However, their exploration took an unexpected turn when Mattison directed them into a room filled with papers and, to Ty's shock, a wanted poster prominently displayed on one of the walls.

The poster depicted a face labeled as "Mystery guy," featuring orange hair and a stocky beard, and Ty couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance to Erebos, albeit with a different hairstyle.

Mattison noticed Ty's shocked expression and inquired, "You know this person?"

Caught off guard, Ty hesitated but ultimately chose to answer honestly, saying, "Yes, he's someone who severely injured and almost killed me before.

Well, maybe he did kill me, but somehow I woke back up. It's the only memory I really have of the events." He knew this was the closest he could get to the truth without revealing too much.

Mattison nodded, taking in Ty's response, and then handed him an image of the kingdom's capital. He began removing his armor plates with a tired sigh, as if the situation had taken a toll on him.
