Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Berserk Form

"You're Atticus, right?"

Kael's voice was calm, almost too calm. One would never think that he had just been punched so hard in the guts a few seconds ago.

Hearing Kael's question, Atticus couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in slight confusion, but he still decided to answer his question, "Yeah."

Kael nodded.

The eight swords strewn across the forest floor began to tremble, and in a seamless motion, they shot towards Kael's form. Each sword swiftly sheathed itself in the corresponding scabbard on his waist.

Kael turned his neck to the sides, cracking it, rotating his shoulders trying to get rid of the stiff feeling in his body.

"I owe you an apology," Kael declared, taking deliberate steps toward Atticus, his voice carrying an air of nonchalance. "I haven't been taking this fight seriously."

With each step he took, the atmosphere around Kael seemed to change. The wind intensified, causing leaves and branches to rustle in response.

Kael advanced further, muttering under his breath,

"Berserk Form: Unbound"

Simultaneously, crimson like marks erupted from his chest, weaving a complex tapestry of intricate tattoos that snaked their way across his entire form.

His eyes glowed with a red hue as his physique expanded in both mass and height, each sinew and muscle gaining an almost supernatural vitality.

The sheer growth tore at his clothes, unable to withstand the newfound strength and size. Fabric strained against burgeoning muscles, revealing the raw power surging beneath.

His brown hair seemed to lengthen as it grew down, cascading down to almost ankle level.

The sheathed swords around him seemed to hum with a compelling urgency, as if they themselves yearned to be unsheathed

Kael placed his right hand on the hilt of the broadsword hanging on his back, effortlessly lifting it up as he held it in front of him.

Locking his glowing red eyes on to Atticus, Kael continued, his voice resonating throughout the entire forest,

"My name is Kael Stormrider. Remember it."

As soon as Kael uttered those words, each of the eight swords around his waist shot in to the skies.

Before Atticus could fathom what was happening, Kael's colossal figure rocketed towards him at supersonic speed, the ground he previously stood on instantaneously imploding.

In an almost teleportation like speed, Kael materialized in front of Atticus, his broad sword enveloped in a palpable red aura, raised skyward as he brought it down in a devastating arc.

The speed was so intense that the air seemed to run away from it, as though disdaining to come too close to the sword's unstoppable and powerful descent.

Atticus responded with lightning fast reflexes, darting to the right like a streak of lightning, effectively evading the impending attack.

BOOOM!

The ensuing impact was nothing short of catastrophic, striking the earth with a resounding boom and sending shockwaves rippling outward in every direction.
