Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Disbelief

The instant Atticus's fingers touched the hilt of his katana; Astrion immediately felt danger. It was a feeling he had never felt before in his life, the kind of feeling that baffled him to his core.

He had faced numerous Expert ranks, especially those who considered themselves geniuses in the human domain, and even then, he had never felt this way before.

But now he was feeling this way for a child? Astrion immediately dismissed that absurd thought from his head. It was impossible!

In response, he intensified the emanation of his aura, expanding the boundary of the previously distorted space from a mere 10 meters to an astounding 30 meters.

The air within 30 meters around him crackled with intensity. Vorlock, already noticing Astrion's increased aura, had started moving even further away, he had no intention of being caught in the crosshairs!

After receiving this power from only God knows where, Atticus felt like many things had opened up for him. It was a surreal feeling. It was as if everything he had been doing before was wrong. The way he walked was wrong, even the way he breathed.

As he was about to use the first art, he immediately felt something was wrong. His movements, stances, everything— they were unnecessary.

The first art was simple, a swift, unerring slash from one point to another. That burst pattern wasn't needed; the stance wasn't needed. Only three large, rapid bursts were needed: one for his leg, one for his arm, and one for his blade.

In the span of a second, Atticus effortlessly constructed pipelines, connecting his mana core to his body.

It was a stark contrast to the minute it had taken him to achieve this previously.

His right hand poised on the katana's hilt, the very air around Atticus began to shift.

He released three colossal bursts in rapid succession, each one causing the earth beneath him to tremble.

And then, with an almost telepathic speed, he blurred and moved. The ground upon which he had stood moments ago shattered, leaving a substantial crater in his wake.

Atticus appeared in front of Astrion in the air with teleportation-like speed, crossing the space that should've affected him with unimaginable speed, as if it wasn't even there.

His gleaming razor sharp?katana appearing at Astrion's neck in the blink of an eye.

Astrion's surprise was palpable. 'What?' he uttered in bewilderment as Atticus's blade hovered dangerously close to his neck.

But his question was met with silence, only the chilling, cold gaze of Atticus's cerulean eyes.

Astrion immediately felt a danger the likes of which he hadn't felt before. He knew, he knew that if he didn't move, he'd die!

Immediately, as fast as he had ever acted before, he summoned his space bloodline. And before Atticus's sword could cleave his neck, he suddenly disappeared, reappearing far away from the scene.

Atticus's razor-sharp slash cleaved through the empty air, parting the clouds forward for a few kilometers.
