Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365 Your Place

Atticus fixed his eyes on Gerald's advancing form, his expression still not changing. They were about 17 meters away from each other.

Atticus couldn't help but be slightly surprised at how powerful the red aura surrounding Gerald was. But even though he felt a slight danger to it, he still wasn't worried about the situation.

'I should wrap this up,'

Atticus's gaze became colder as he suddenly spoke up again,

"Besides, it seems you're terribly mistaken about something. I said the mana contract was his way out if you want his mind intact. The other option is simply for me to break him."

Atticus suddenly tightened his hold on Seraphin's neck once more, tendrils of lightning materializing and shocking his struggling form.

"Ahhhh! Bro-," Seraphin screamed in pain, his voice intense and deafening.

This action seemed to crush whatever good reasoning that was in Gerald's mind.

An AI voice sounded,

"Student Gerald Stellaris. It is against the rules to attack a lower year. Breaking this would attract severe punis-"

The AI voice was abruptly cut short as Gerald's form rocketed towards Atticus.

The floor on which he previously stood melted and warped, leaving a trail of molten metal in his wake.

The sheer force of his movement caused the air to ripple and distort behind him, the temperature increasing with each passing moment.

In a breath, Gerald appeared in front of Atticus like a phantom, intense amounts of crimson flames coalescing around his fist as he unleashed a devastating punch that seemed to distort the air around Atticus.

Atticus' gaze instantly narrowed, 'He's fast!'

He had been caught off guard by how fast Gerald had moved. It was nothing less than Expert rank speed!

Although Atticus was currently a higher rank than him, if he wasn't using any arts and just his passive strength, Gerald's current form would be able to keep up with him!

'This ability is truly powerful,' Atticus praised.

But unfortunately for Gerald, the earlier case would be true only if he wasn't using any one of his abilities. And why in heaven's sake would he do that, especially when he had just awakened an overpowered element?

He remained undaunted in the face of Gerald's attack as he muttered under his breath,

"Space mimicry."

Atticus instantly felt his form shift with the space, and with a deliberate effort, Atticus moved.

To Gerald, it seemed as though the individual he had been fixated upon had abruptly twisted and disappeared away from the trajectory of his punch.

And in the next instance, Gerald's pupils shifted to his left as the same figure of Atticus suddenly twisted once more and materialized at his left-hand side.

Gerald was already in the Expert- rank and thus had awakened his perception. He was able to see every single thing happen in slow motion. But unfortunately for him, his body wasn't fast enough to react to the unfolding events.

Atticus's left hand was still holding Seraphin's neck as he shot his right shoulder backwards, his hand drawn back for a punch.
