Chapter 283: Kronos’s Strength
Rocky hoped that all that the wyverns were after was the dead body of the centipede, however, he was wrong.
Once the wyverns came close to them, they somehow went absolutely crazy and started to attack Buhara without wasting any time, diving towards him with terrifying speed.
“Agh shit….. protect Buhara –” Rocky instructed as immediately Rocky and Kronos moved in tandem, their swords flashing as they deflected the wyverns’ talons mid-dive, forcing the creatures to veer off their attack paths. The impact sent sparks flying as steel met scale, the sheer force of the wyverns’ attacks shaking the ground beneath them.
Though slower, Erin quickly followed up by casting a protective barrier around the group, its shimmering energy enveloping them in a dome of light. “This should buy us some time!” Erin called out, focusing on maintaining the barrier as the wyverns circled above, seeking a way in.
Buhara, not one to sit idle, summoned a wall of flame that rose high around the barrier, its intense heat and roaring flames creating a deterrent for the wyverns.
The flying creatures, startled by the sudden burst of fire, shrieked and pulled back, circling warily just outside the reach of the flames.
For a brief moment, the team found themselves in an insulated bubble of protection, giving them the precious time they needed to regroup and think of an exit strategy.
Quick to think on his feet, Rocky’s gaze immediately shifted to Kronos, who stood with his black sword still in hand, the blade gleaming ominously in the flickering light.
Rocky could see the confidence in Kronos’s stance, the subtle shift of his grip, and the almost imperceptible excitement that Kronos was trying to contain, as instead of looking afraid, Kronos seemed to be stalking the wyverns like a predator.
“Kronos,” Rocky began, his voice drawing Kronos’s attention back to the tem, “how confident are you that you can take down a wyvern with a single strike? You’ve been testing that new sword, and it’s time to see what it can really do.”
Kronos’s eyes flicked to his sword, a smirk spreading across his face as he considered the question. The blade had already proven its worth against the centipede, leaving him impressed with its raw power. Now, the prospect of facing these airborne predators stirred a thrill within him as he looked back at Rocky, his smile widening.
“Confident enough,” Kronos replied, his voice carrying a note of eagerness. “This sword is something else. I’m ready to take the lead.”
Rocky nodded, his own confidence bolstered by Kronos’s resolve. “Good. Here’s the plan: Erin and I will focus on keeping Buhara safe and distracting the wyverns as best as we can.
While Kronos, you take the lead—unleash those sword projections and bring them down one by one.
Make every strike count.”
Kronos’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. “One blow each. Got it.”
As the team braced themselves, Erin reinforced the protective barrier with a wave of his hand, ensuring they had a few more moments to prepare.
Outside, the wyverns continued to circle, their frustration growing as they sought a way through the flames and barrier. Their predatory instincts told them that something was inside that dome worth attacking, and they did not seem willing to give up easily.
“Get ready to drop the barrier,” Rocky instructed, his voice low but firm, as he moved beside Buhara, his swords at the ready to protect him and the backpack containing the parcel from any attacks.
Finally, he glanced at Kronos, who was now focused, his sword raised and ready, as Rocky issued one last instruction for him.
“Kronos, as soon as it’s down, start taking them out.” Rocky said, as Kronos only replied with a confident smile, his pupils widening as he entered a state of deep concentration.
He could feel the power of his new sword humming in his grip, a connection between weapon and wielder that he hadn’t experienced before. It was as if the sword itself was eager to be unleashed.
“Now!” Rocky shouted as he spotted a good opportunity for Kronos to strike a wyvern, as immediately upon his instruction Erin dropped the barrier, and Buhara dispersed the flames that had kept the wyverns at bay.
The sudden lack of resistance caused the wyverns to surge forward in a frenzy, their talons outstretched as they dived toward the team.But before the first wyvern could even get close, Kronos acted.
With a swift, fluid motion, he swung his sword, and a powerful projection of energy shot through the air. The attack was precise and devastating, slamming into the lead wyvern with the force of a thunderbolt, as the creature didn’t even have time to screech before it was torn apart, its body plummeting lifelessly into the chasm below.
The other wyverns hesitated for a fraction of a second, stunned by the sudden death of their comrade, but Kronos didn’t give them a chance to recover.
Another swing meant another lethal projection, and just like that a second wyvern fell, its wings crumpling as it spiraled downward, dead before it hit the rocks below.
The remaining wyverns, sensing the deadly threat Kronos posed, tried to evade, but their attempts were futile.
Kronos was relentless, his sword moving with a speed and precision that belied his earlier casual confidence. Each swing of his blade sent another projection slicing through the air, and each time, a wyvern fell, unable to withstand the sheer power of his attacks.
Within seconds, the sky was clear. The once-mighty predators now laid in ruins, their bodies scattered across the rocky canyon or lost to the abyss below.

As Kronos lowered his sword, breathing steadily despite the intense exertion. He turned to the group, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. “All clear,” he said simply, as if it had been no challenge at all.
His new sword which could convert vitality into power coupled with his near infinite vitality pool was a deadly combination, as creatures that even Rocky would have a hard time defeating, could now be one shot by Kronos alone.
