"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.
