Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Surge

As soon as Atticus came to that realization, his figure suddenly blurred as he sidestepped, evading a dangerous sword slash that suddenly appeared behind him.

Atticus's gaze immediately landed on the figure of a boy whose hair color was constantly changing rapidly, with two blades, one in each hand.

Atticus retaliated swiftly. He focused on the earth element, and an earthen spike erupted from below the figure of the boy. But instead of the expected brutal impaling, just as the sharp earthen spike touched him, his form suddenly exploded in a burst of smoke.

The scenery suddenly changed, reverting back to its normal state.

Atticus turned his gaze to see the bodies of over 40 beasts sprawled across the forest floor.

The reason why he hadn't met any beasts since was now obvious.

'The Nebulon family,' Atticus swiftly deduced.

It was obvious, honestly, as it was only them that could use such powerful illusions.

'They're dangerous,'

Although it was embarrassing to admit, Atticus had almost completely fallen for this trap. The illusions felt completely lifelike. Despite the fact that Atticus was of a higher rank than the boy, he had still managed to fool almost all his senses—his nose, eyes, and ears.

If not for the intense training Atticus had undergone with his perception and learning how to feel, he might have fallen for the trap.

'So these are the other tier one family bloodlines,'

During the years, Atticus had tried to battle different data of robots with different bloodlines in the advanced training room. Unfortunately, they had no data on the bloodlines of the other tier one families in the human domain, including the Nebulon family's bloodline.

This was the first time Atticus was facing a new, powerful, and unique bloodline.

Atticus turned his neutral gaze around, looking around him in the forest.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. You caught me off guard before, but now I know your bloodline's weakness,"

Atticus said, suddenly turning his head to his right, looking at an empty spot beside a tree.

For a second, nothing seemed to be at the spot Atticus was gazing at, but suddenly the air distorted around that spot, showing the form of a boy.

The boy's expression showed a slight shock, wondering how Atticus had been able to find him so easily.

"How did you know where I was?" The boy, Isaac, suddenly asked, curiosity coloring his iridescent eyes.

He was well aware of how powerful his illusions were. Isaac was from the main line in the Nebulon family. And in the family, how potent your bloodline was completely dependent on how close your family line was to the main family.

Isaac was completely confident that none in the Advanced rank would be able to get out of them.
