Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204 Bath

Gazing at the flickering shield, 'Looks like it can barely withstand intermediate-attacks,' Atticus noted.

He had never really tested out how sturdy his grade one shields were. This was mostly because he had never needed to use it in battle.

But despite the fact that Atticus had never really used his runes that much since he started learning, ever since he had seen the battle of Lucas and Aria, ever since he had learned how to engrave runes from Grimestone, Atticus had seen the immense potential rune engraving had.

What Atticus was most excited for was becoming a grade 3 rune engraver. That was where the real aspect of rune engraving would start to unfold.

Then, Atticus wouldn't even need slates anymore; he would be able to engrave on any surface, even the air. It was a possibility that excited Atticus to his core.

Atticus focused on the newly engraved grade 2 rune in his hand, instantly channeling mana into it, and tossing it away from him.

Like the first, it let out a blinding red glow before crumbling and turning into a shield. As Atticus gazed at this new shield, he could notice the difference between this one and the one he had formed earlier.

Unlike the first, the ethereal red lights of this shield were a deeper red in color, and it was clear with one look that this shield had more weight than the first.

It would be able to withstand way more powerful attacks than the grade one rune.

Atticus once again focused on the fire element, but this time reducing its power to intermediate+ rank output.

The intensity of the fire was more than the first, then he shot it, the attack blazing through the air, striking the shield with a powerful force.

Atticus cleared the dust that gathered with a thought by controlling the air, turning his attention toward the dark red transparent shield that maintained its luminosity despite the powerful attack, not a single ripple.

Atticus smirked.

Increasing the intensity of the fire to advance-rank, Atticus fired another shot toward the shield.

It landed swiftly with a more intense,

BOOM!!

The area becoming covered with dust.

Clearing the dust, Atticus could only see small ripples around the shield, but regardless, it held strong.

Atticus increased the intensity to Advanced+ rank.

The air seemed to crackle with power as the flames gathered around Atticus's palm, creating an ominous glow

It was clear that this attack dwarfed all the attacks he had released so far.

With a focused thought, the flames shot forth from his palm. The force of the attack was so potent that it immediately shattered the air, creating multiple concentric circles as it cut through the atmosphere.

The ground within a 5-meter radius from Atticus remained intact, but anything beyond that bore the destructive impact.

Upon impact, a deafening BOOM echoed through the surroundings, and a shockwave radiated outward, carrying a cloud of dust and debris.

However, amidst the devastation, Atticus and the immediate 5-meter radius around him remained completely unaffected, as if the dust and debris dared not come close to him.

With another mental command, the dust gradually cleared, revealing the shield.
