but knocking the scythe out of his hand not so much as luke was in control of the body at the time and was not fighting or paying attention whatsoever. “I surged forward and scooped up her knife. I knocked Backbiter out of Luke’s hand, and it spun into the hearth. Luke hardly paid me any attention.” Excerpt From: Riordan, Rick. “The Last Olympian.”

And the throne one: “Kronos backed me up against the throne of Hephaestus—a huge mechanical La-Z-Boy type thing covered with bronze and silver gears. Kronos slashed, and I managed to jump straight up onto the seat. The throne whirred and hummed with secret mechanisms.” Excerpt From: Riordan, Rick. “The Last Olympian.”

Sebastian im not saying it isnt after all im on percy's side, just clarifying some point that may not have been entirely true

Okay, so Percy could have injured Kronos. Our blades clashed in a shower of sparks. He was stronger than me, but for the moment I felt the power of the ocean in my arms. I pushed him back and struck again—slashing Riptide across his breastplate so hard I cut a gash in the Celestial bronze. And: I stumbled backward, switched my sword to my left hand, and lunged desperately. My blade should've run him through, but it deflected off his stomach like I was hitting solid marble. There was no way he should've survived that. Percy was also able to hold his own against Kronos for a while without the curse too. And it should be noted that when Percy had the curse, they were completely equal in strength. I met Kronos first strike with Riptide. The impact shook the entire bridge, but I held my ground. Kronos' smile wavered. But still, I like what you wrote.
