Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Ascending

A lavender haired youth walked out of the entrance of a foliage of trees, stopping at the base of a high hill. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Turning his gaze upwards, his eyes instantly focused on the top of the hill where a massive walled structure stood.

Emeric's lips curled up into a huge grin, displaying his ugly un even teeth for all to see.

"Finally," he muttered while letting out a huge exhale.

Directly behind him stood a slender purple haired youth and a few Raven dark haired youths, who were all completely motionless with an expressionless face, their collective gazes forward.

And just behind them, more than a thousand youths spilled out from the forest entrance, stopping directly behind Emeric and his group.

Many of the youths were still in their earlier worn out forms with a lot of them still spotting claw marks and bites around their bodies.

Parts of their clothes were tattered and filled with blood.

Unlike Atticus's division members who were completely subservient to him after witnessing his overwhelming display of power, Emeric's division members were different.

It was quite unfortunate, but the Pysquillian bloodline could not exhibit the same overwhelming show of strength that Atticus had displayed.

Not even close.

The Pysquillian bloodline wasn't so overpowered that Emeric, who was currently at a low level, would be able to control more than a thousand youths.

He wasn't at that level yet and might never even reach it.

At his current level, apart from him having to personally satisfy each and every condition for each individual he wanted to control, he wouldn't even be able to withstand the burden of controlling that number.

To simplify things, he couldn't even control more than 10 individuals simultaneously. And to control that much people depended on a lot of factors.

But despite the fact that Emeric's bloodline couldn't display such flashy and deadly powers as Atticus could, many of the youths were still very scared of him.

Why was that?

It was simple; each of the youths feared his nonexistent powers.

Apart from the fact that Emeric was a tier 2 family youth, he also had basically all the strongest youths under his control.

But even then, each of the divison members numbered in the thousands.

A handful of youths, even if they were strong, wasn't enough to make them fear Emeric.

The reason each of them feared him was shown in the way the students under his command were behaving.

It was very clear that every single action they were carrying out was completely against their will.

Regardless of how stubborn most of them wanted to prove they were, none of them wanted to be controlled as puppets.

To be forced to walk against their will, to be forced to bow against their will, to be forced to worship against their will, none of them were willing!

None of them had any idea how his powers worked, and no one wanted to be the test subject they would use to find out how it worked.

But what they do know was what it does, and that was more than enough.

Plus, it was completely in their best interest to obey Emeric in the first place.

Many of them were well aware of how intelligent the Pysquillian family was, and from what they had seen, Emeric seemed to show this trait well.
