I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 1210: Planning Binding

The battlefield turned on them in the span of seconds.

Aurdis felt it before she fully saw it. The pressure at the front wavered from the collapse of their first attacker.

Her eyes snapped toward the center of the clash just in time to see Adrien stagger again with strange posture, his stance looked forced more by will than strength.

Billy also tried to move with him but his step dragged weakly with one arm hanging stiffly at his side.

The Chaos God pressed toward them relentlessly.

Just moments after charging alongside King Gulben, Adrien and Billy had already been driven back. Their attacks still landed but the monster had countered too quickly. Her limbs hit them stronger.

Aurdis’s heart clenched. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"That thing is too strong," she whispered under her breath. "Father..."

Aerchon saw it too. He had been carving through tentacles at the flank when the front line faltered.

He turned sharply and his gaze locked onto Aurdis. Their eyes met across the chaos.

No words were needed. They just nod and act.

Aurdis broke formation instantly, Magic surging beneath her feet as she sprinted forward.

Aerchon pivoted the opposite way.

"Arty! Billy’s down. Go to him now!" he said.

Arty answered without hesitation and launched herself toward Billy’s position, smashing through a cluster of descending tentacles to reach him.

Aerchon pushed hard toward Adrien as he cleared a path. Tentacles snapped at him from both sides but he did not slow.

Aurdis reached her father first.

King Gulben stood hunched with one hand braced against the broken ground, blood streaking down his chin as his breath came heavy and uneven.

The golden light around his armor flickered, struggling to keep its rhythm.

"Father," Aurdis said sharply as she caught his arm. Her voice softened despite the chaos crashing around them. "Don’t move again with your condition like that."

"I can still—" King Gulben started, forcing himself upright.

Aurdis cut him off, Magic already flowing as she steadied him. "No. You’ll tear yourself apart if you keep pushing."

A moment later on the other side, Aerchon slid in beside Adrien just as a tentacle slammed down where Adrien’s head had been moments earlier.

Aerchon severed it cleanly, spun, and planted himself between Adrien and the Chaos God without hesitation.

His eyes were hard as he grabbed Adrien’s shoulder to steady him.

"You have to get back," Aerchon said firmly. "Now!"

Adrien clenched his jaw. His hands trembled as he tried to pull more power into his body, but pain filled his ribs sharply and stole the air from his lungs.

"Damn it..." he growled under his breath.

"If you force yourself to stay you’ll become the opening she needs," Aerchon continued, lowering his voice so only Adrien could hear over the chaos.

That finally reached him.

Adrien exhaled hard, his shoulders dropping a fraction as he nodded his head in helplessness. "Don’t let her pass you."

At the same time, Arty reached Billy. She hauled him partially upright, one arm locked around his back as her gauntlets pulsed with stabilizing Magic.

"Tch... I’m still standing," Billy muttered through bloodied teeth.

"Yeah. Barely," Arty snapped back. "That’s not brave, it’s stupid. Stay with me."

Billy tried to argue, then hissed sharply as pain burned his side. He swallowed and nodded. "Alright... alright."

Another heavy impact rocked the center of the battlefield. King Gulben staggered as a glancing blow struck him, golden light flaring unevenly along his armor as he forced himself upright, sword still raised through sheer will.

Aurdis tightened her grip on him. "Father, you’re bleeding! Let’s get back!"

"Grrh," King Gulben growled, trying to step forward again despite the strain in his movements.

"Not like this. If you fall here, everybody will break." Arty’s voice cut across the chaos, firm and unyielding.

King Gulben frozen.

Another wave of tentacles descended toward them. Their shadows stretch long across the ruined land. His hand trembled around the hilt of his sword.

He hated it. He was against retreating and yielding even a step before a Chaos God. But his body answered slower and his reactions dulled by accumulating wounds. Pride alone would not win this battle.

"Very well," he said at last, the words heavy as iron. "I will fall back temporarily."

At the back, Saeldir acted instantly.

He drove his sword into the ground and wove tight angular barriers around three critical points, shielding King Gulben, Adrien, and Billy as Aurdis, Arty, and Aerchon pulled them back. Tentacles hammered against the barriers, splintering light across their surfaces with each impact.

Before the Chaos God could press the advantage, the battlefield erupted with counterforce.

Sylmira stepped forward, both hands raised as layered sigils ignited around her.

A storm of compressed Magical force slammed into the Chaos God’s upper limbs, detonating in rippling waves that forced her back a step.

Adrius followed immediately and unleashed a cascading barrage of elemental fury. Fire, ice, and raw force collided in rapid succession.

Lysander surged in beside them, lightning roaring outward in a blinding arc that ripped through clustered tentacles and drove straight into her body.

The Chaos God shrieked and her laughter turned sharper as she recoiled beneath the sudden onslaught. Her massive body carving furrows through the shattered earth.

Torn tentacles writhed and dissolved into black mist, yet new ones already began knitting themselves together.

Lysander landed beside Adrius as lightning faded from his arms. His chest rose and fell hard, eyes never leaving the writhing god.

"Master," he said sharply, "we can’t keep trading blows like this."

Adrius tightened his grip. Sweat ran down his temple as he watched the Chaos God stabilizing again, her form knitting faster than before.

Lysander continued, jaw clenched. "We need to use the sealing technique. Celestial Binding."

The words hung heavy between them.

Adrius felt his pulse spike. His thoughts pressed tightly together.

"If it fails, the backlash will cripple us."

His gaze flicked toward King Gulben being pulled further back, and Adrien and Billy struggled just to remain conscious.

Time was bleeding out of their hands.

Another roar shook the field as the Chaos God began forcing herself upright again.

Adrius sighed.

"Okay. We don’t have the luxury of waiting," he said at last. "If we hesitate, she recovers fully."

Lysander nodded.

Adrius turned sharply, raising his voice. "Sylmira. Saeldir."

Both reacted instantly. Sylmira broke off her casting and pivoted toward him, sigils still glowing faintly around her hands. Saeldir emerged from behind a fractured barrier.

"We’re going to end this," Adrius said, voice steady despite the storm around them. "Lysander and I will activate Celestial Binding. But it won’t hold unless we anchor it."

Saeldir’s eyes narrowed. "You want a full sealing array."

"Yes," Adrius answered. "That is strong enough to suppress this Chaos God completely. I’ll need both of you to cover us."

Sylmira stepped forward without pause. Her expression hardened and determination showed through exhaustion.

"I’ll help," she said. "If we don’t seal her now, this battlefield won’t last longer."

Saeldir nodded, already shifting his stance. "Right."

In front of them, the Chaos God lifted her head as if sensing the shift.

Her grin widened as if there was anticipation curling through her broken laughter as the air itself began to tighten and Magic converged with lethal intent in front of her.
