Chapter 77 Thrill

Chapter 77 Thrill

Atticus moved towards the Obsidian claw at high speed. As he got closer, the Obsidian claw quickly noticed him and swiftly stood up on its hind legs, letting out a deafening roar.

Atticus, who saw this, increased his speed even more and kept dashing towards the Obsidian claw.

As he closed in, the beast stomped the ground while still standing on its hind legs and swiped down its claw. The claw cut through the air with intense speed, leaving deadly claw-like afterimages in the air.

Atticus continued to close the distance between himself and the Obsidian claw, as if he didn't see the claw threatening to split him into four.

With the claw inches away from his face, he pointed his hand forward and released a blast from his hands, immediately stopping his momentum.

With his momentum stopped, the claw slashed down where Atticus was supposed to be moments before. Before the claw had even finished its swing, Atticus had already acted.

He raised his hands behind him, stood on his toes, and released another blast from his hands and legs, propelling himself upwards toward the Obsidianclaw at high speed.

He raised his right arm, intensifying the flames, and threw a punch at the Obsidianclaw's left cheek with tremendous force, causing blood to splatter on the ground.

Due to its huge size, the punch didn't send the Obsidianclaw flying, but it did shift its head to the left. n(-OVelB1n

Immediately after the punch, Atticus followed up with another move while still in the air. He released a burst from his left hand, making himself spin in a anti clockwise direction. Utilizing the momentum, he threw a spinning kick with his leg, targeting the same spot he had punched.

As he walked through the camp, not wanting to waste any more time, Atticus decided it was time to learn about runes. He headed towards the Runes Division.

Inside a training room, three boys knelt on the floor, their forms completely battered, covered in bruises. They all kept their heads bowed. Upon closer inspection, one could see that these were the same boys Atticus had beaten earlier in the day.

"All you had to do was embarrass him in public, Jack! How did you fail!?" a boy with a sharp thin eyes shouted at them.

The boy in the middle, Jack, who Atticus had punched first, gritted his teeth and clenched his hands, repeating the words like a mantra in his head, 'It's for my family, it's for my family, it's for my family.' He knew that if he didn't answer, this bastard would keep on beating them.

"I apologize, young master William," he finally spoke, his voice trembling, "we had no idea he was that strong."

William gritted his teeth in anger, his face contorted with frustration. "You useless fools!" he shouted, delivering a kick to Jack who had spoken. The blow struck his chest, sending him tumbling backward.

He clutched his chest in pain, lying on the floor in pain, 'Shit!'

William observed all of this with a cold gaze, and after a few seconds, he clicked his tongue and muttered, "Useless fools," before walking out of the training room.

As William departed, Jack clenched his fist so hard that blood started pouring from it, the mantra of 'It's for my family' still echoing in his mind.
