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 n(.o.-V-/ε-(l-)b/.I-)n

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.

His hands pointed downward, he released a massive burst, propelling himself towards Kael at a speed the latter couldn't hope to match.

Another powerful blast from his right heel followed, delivering a brutal uppercut kick to Kael's jaw. The attack landed with a sickening crunch, sending Kael shooting upwards through the air.

But Atticus wasn't done; instantaneously releasing rapid, controlled bursts from his hands and legs, Atticus' figure rotated rapidly in the air, his spinning form instantly appearing close to Kael up in the skies.

His legs raised skyward, and Atticus focused the entirety of his gathered spinning momentum into his right leg.

Controlling the earth to wrap around his leg, he released a colossal burst, accelerating the velocity of his descending leg to unimaginable heights.

BAAAMMMM!

The attack landed on Kael with brutal intensity, generating shockwaves that rippled outward.

Kael's figure shot down through the skies, landing on the forest floor and forming a huge crater.

Atticus swiftly zoomed towards where Kael had fallen, intending on ending the fight. But just as he got to a few meters away from the crater,

ROOOAAARRRRR!!

A loud, resounding roar shook the forest floor, its intensity alarming, sending shockwaves ripping outward in all directions.

Dust filled the air as the force swept through the scene, propelling Atticus through the air. He executed a backflip mid air, swiftly turning to face Kael within the huge crater.

Inside the crater, Kael stood. His body seemed to have undergone another remarkable change, doubling in bulk, attaining a colossal height of 10 feet.

His hair had grown longer, now cascading down with an almost ethereal grace, adopting a striking red hue.

The red like tattoos that adorned his body, already a mesmerizing display, now glowed with an even more intense luminosity.

Eight swords rapidly spun around Kael's transformed figure. The blades moved with an almost preternatural speed, creating a whirling dance of lethal precision.

Kael's red eyes landed on Atticus, his voice bestial as he uttered,

"Berserk Form: Fury,"
