Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Capture

As soon as the Ravenstein youth descended from the top of the hill, they all split up into their respective groups, each heading towards different directions through the forest.

Initially, since the map of the forest was displayed on the table, Atticus had wondered how each group would navigate through the forest to reach where each of the terminals was located.

But after a single question to the oracle on his artifact, he was able to find out how to transfer the map from the table towards each of the Ravenstein youths' artifacts.

As each of the groups moved through the forest while following the maps on their artifacts, they noticed that the forest was completely devoid of any magical beasts.

It was clear that the academy wanted each of the divisions to focus solely on the battle.

With no beasts in the forest, each group marched quickly through the forest. The terminals were located at varying distances from each other, some closer to their camp, others to the opposing camp.

Eventually, each of them got to their destinations after some time.

Coming out of the foliage of trees, Lucas, who was walking at the fore front of the group, was met with about a 500 meters wide expanse.

In the middle of this expanse was a 10 meter tall black terminal. It was completely incomparable to the imposing form of the terminal at their camp.

Undeterred, Lucas kept walking forward towards the middle with the small army of youths following behind.

He had already instructed the scouts in their team to check around the area before he led the youths here.

Despite this, Lucas was still incredibly careful and alert. Just behind the group, about 15 of the rangers were spread out, all of them watching their backs.

The rangers obviously had better eyesight than the armored and the dealers, which was exactly why they were given this role.

Many of the rangers were even going as far as hiding in the trees, ready to respond to anything.

Given his intelligence, he knew well enough that being careful and alert was obviously important.

But the reason he was being even more cautious than usual was because of the warning Atticus had given each of the Ravenstein youths before they left: don't let anyone die.

Those words might have sounded like a request to some, but to the Ravenstein youths who had been with Atticus for a long time, they all knew it was far from a request. He wasn't joking.

'I wonder what that penalty is,' he pondered.

Lucas still hadn't been able to find out how the students 'dying' affected him. He had come up with multiple reasons, but he wouldn't know for sure which was which.

Deciding on leaving that for later, he kept moving while also keeping his guard on high alert.

As Lucas cautiously stepped within the 10 meter radius of the black terminal, a sudden eruption of blinding green light enveloped the ground, shooting upward into the skies with an intensity that pierced through the clouds.

The brilliance of the light was so profound that it acted as a massive, blinding beacon, exposing their location to anyone within the expansive forest.

Simultaneously, a digital countdown clock materialized on top of the black terminal, starkly displaying the ticking minutes. The clock had already begun its countdown from 10 minutes.

Turning his gaze around, Lucas could also see multiple green lights erupting from the ground at different locations in the forest.

'How troublesome. Looks like the academy truly wants us to fight at all costs,' Lucas pondered while gazing at the green lights shooting out of the terminal. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

What would the opposition do when they see their enemies winning? It's very obvious; they would try to take action and react faster. And this was what the academy obviously aims to do—make them fight.

"Form up and stay alert at all costs," Lucas swiftly instructed the students who all listened and started getting into formation around the terminal.

With the armored at the forefront, their forms imposing, every single one of their gazes forward.

The rest also got alert, the dealers positioning themselves behind the armored, and the rangers behind them both.

While was true that many of them didn't completely acknowledge Lucas, assuming he wasn't as strong as the rest of the Ravenstein youths.

And many of them honestly shouldn't be blamed; the only thing the guy had done was throw out slates.

A lot of them, upon seeing this, of course, would assume that he was a weak link. But despite this, every single one of them knew better than to disrespect a Ravenstein, especially when that monster was involved.

Just as usual, Lucas stood at the back, just behind the dealers. Each one of them standing and completely alert and ready for anything.

All over the forest, the other Ravenstein youths experienced the same thing as Lucas's group, with the same blinding light serving as a huge beacon to their enemies.
