Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1030

"Hmph?"

Draktharion’s brow furrowed. He tried to pull his hand free, but Kael’s grip tightened.

Crack.

The sound of bone grinding against scale echoed out. The force was so intense, even Draktharion’s draconic bones creaked under pressure.

Before he could react

Whoosh!

A tear in the air. A purple blur zipped in from the side. Zoey appeared mid-air, her sword construct gleaming in a vicious arc toward his face.

Simultaneously

"Haaah!!"

A roar split the air as Aurora, flames swirling around her, lunged forward with a blazing fist.

Draktharion scoffed.

"Don’t get cocky."

His aura exploded, a monstrous eruption that shook the earth. A concussive blast flung Zoey and Aurora back, both grunting in pain as they flipped through the air.

"Kugh!"

"Ahh—!"

Still, his eyes flicked back down.

Kael hadn’t let go.

If anything… he gripped even harder.

His second hand now grabbed the massive broadsword on his back.

"Berserk Form: Fury."

Draktharion’s eyes narrowed.

Kael’s sword flashed, and came crashing down toward him with catastrophic force.

BOOM!

The ground cracked, debris shot upward, and the force rippled out.

Draktharion’s other hand moved fast, slamming the blade aside, but the sheer power was intense.

’What the hell is this boy…?’

He didn’t want to kill him.

This wasn’t his mission.

His mission was Aurora. And he wanted to keep it that way.

’No more innocent deaths.’

But Kael wouldn’t stop.

Despite their overwhelming difference in power, despite his own grievous wound, Kael raised his blade again.

And again.

His eight sheathed swords around his waist detached, flying into motion, surrounding Draktharion, attacking from all sides.

Draktharion blocked them all, hands a blur of motion.

"Core!" Kael suddenly shouted, crimson blood flailing from his mouth.

Aurora and Zoey, hearing that, turned immediately.

Their eyes flashed as they focused on the core. They understood what he meant instantly.

He would hold him and they would save Atticus.

Their expressions hardened. Spiritual energy and fire surged as they launched toward the orb again.

"Enough!" Draktharion growled.

His claws lashed out, smashing into Kael.

Bones snapped, blood spilled, but Kael didn’t let go.

His grip only grew stronger. His grin wider.

Draktharion’s frustration finally turned to fury.

His claw gleamed, and in a brutal slash, Kael’s arm was severed.

"GAAAH!"

The next punch sent Kael flying, but before he could chase down the girls…

Kael’s other hand snapped onto his leg.

Still smiling. Still holding on.

"Tch—!"

Draktharion raged.

"You leave me no choice!"

Dragonfire erupted from his body, engulfing Kael in roaring hellfire.

And yet…

Kael still didn’t let go. He didn’t make a single sound.

"JUST LET GO!!"

Draktharion stomped down, crushing Kael’s hand over and over, until finally, it broke apart.

Finally Freed, Draktharion’s body flickered again, appearing instantly before the orb.

"Hah—!"

Zoey gasped, about to reach the orb, but it was too late.
