Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Mad Men

Another deafening scream joined the chorus as the youth's form suddenly erupted in a blaze.

Just like the youth before, he instantly tried to use mana, but it was completely to no avail. The flames were still scorching and were ravaging his form without pity.

Once again, Atticus moved.

His form slowly and deliberately approached another one of the assailants trying to crawl away on the floor.

Their limbs were completely unusable, and despite the fact that some of them were advanced+ rank, their passive healing abilities weren't nearly enough to heal an injury this severe.

Their unusable limbs made their attempts at crawling away seem like a bunch of fish trying to move on land, pathetic.

As Atticus controlled the air to wrap around the form of the youth, the youth rapidly started speaking before he was even turned around,

"W-wait! I'll tell you! T-the one who sent us is-" the youth couldn't even finish speaking before his artifact suddenly lit up.

Instantly, he let out a vibrating scream as tendrils of golden lightning snaked around his form, shocking him intensely.

Atticus watched with raised eyebrows as the youth trembled and convulsed on the ground in response to the electric shock.

'It's the artifact's doing so it obviously can't be a mana contract,' Atticus pondered.

He had experienced first-hand how a mana contract reacted any time a person was about to break the words specified in the contract.

He remembered vividly what happened to Helodor back at the Raven camp when he had questioned him.

Given the fact that it was the artifact enforcing the punishment, Atticus was reminded of the contract feature the Raven camp had introduced.

'An upgraded version then?' Atticus surmised.

He could clearly recall that that feature didn't have any physical punishment should one try to break the contract. But this current situation was obviously different.

Atticus walked away from the youth convulsing on the floor and approached another youth.

He didn't even have to say anything. The screams of the two burning youths were enough to instill a deep-rooted fear in each of them.

They knew Atticus wasn't joking around.

Each of the assailants would rather get electrocuted than go through the experience of having their bodies burn alive!

After a few torturous moments with the number of screaming youth intensifying, each of the assailants lay on the ground, convulsing and shaking as they continuously got electrocuted.

Atticus stared at the youths sprawled on the ground coldly.

Raising his hand, Atticus suddenly clicked on his artifact, swiftly navigating to the oracle section. He subtly muttered under his breath,

"Why are they all getting electrocuted and how can I bypass this to get the information I want?" Atticus consulted the oracle.

The Oracle instantly replied,

The students currently convulsing on the ground are all under an academy contract.

And then with a single thought, their forms instantly erupted in a fit of scorching flames, their screams instantly flooding the whole hall. _{ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom}
