Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Blazing Guardian

The youths at the top couldn't help but smile at the sight of the beast meeting their demise so easily.

The trench Atticus had made had been massive; if this continues, they could kill thousands of beasts without having to do anything.

But then, as if suddenly gaining functioning brains, the youths watched in horror as the beasts started coalescing in front of the trench.

More creatures joined, forming a living, grotesque ladder. When they reached a sufficient height, they fell over, creating a gruesome bridge with the higher end landing on the other side of the trench.

Using the bodies of their brethren as a gruesome stepping stone, each of the vicious monsters continued their relentless advance towards the platform.

Atticus's strategic obstacles, though seemingly small, played a crucial role in slowing down the horde's momentum, forcing them to ascend the platform more slowly.

Soon enough, they all got to the platform and began their ascent.

Atticus had intentionally made the hill a few meters wide; each of the monsters struggled to fit as they tried to climb the hill at the same time.

Viewed from above, the scene was nothing short of devastating. It resembled a nightmarish swarm of black ants converging on the platform, coalescing at the entrance of the narrow hill and ascending with alarming speed.

Many of the beasts triggered the extra traps Atticus had set, with many losing their balance, falling and creating a small avalanche.

Yet, it did little to deter the relentless advance of the horde.

And soon enough, their rapid advance got them closer and closer to the top.

Just as they got 50 meters away from the top, a commanding voice cut through the chaos,

"Fire!"

In response to the resounding order, the elevated platform transformed into a symphony of attacks.

Each youth, armed and ready, unleashed a relentless barrage against the approaching threat.

Aria's hands moved in a blur as she released a flurry of arrows with unparalleled speed. Her speed was incomparable to when she had fought Lucas back at the Raven camp.

Each swift draw of her bowstring sent forth five arrows simultaneously, finding their deadly marks with unerring precision, piercing the foreheads of the oncoming beasts.

Atticus observed the orchestrated chaos unfold as all the other youths added their own lethal contributions. Various projectiles filled the air, with some of them even going as far as throwing stones.

His eyes couldn't help but move towards some of the youths who were apparently using their bloodlines to attack.

Bloodlines were not something that most in the human domain had. It was only more prominent in the tiered family, but that didn't mean that other people from ordinary families don't have it too.

The attacks, both mundane and bloodline powered, found their targets, momentarily halting the relentless advance of the monstrous horde.

However, given the overwhelming size and scale of the incoming beasts, the combined efforts of just 200 youths were not enough to fully hold them back.
