Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Barrage

Those were big words, many would even call them boastful. But to Atticus, those words were a fact. A fact that he was going to prove today.

Not even 3 seconds had passed since Dell was sent crashing against the wall. Dust had already covered the area of impact, but Atticus didn't seem to care as he raised his leg and slowly took a step towards Dell.

It was as though a sensitive speaker was placed right beside Atticus' feet as it resounded throughout the classroom, a gust of wind instantly materializing and clearing out the dust, revealing the result of the attack.

Dell's form, which was supposed to be lodged inside the wall, had been stopped by a mingled bunch of green glowing vines behind and around him.

The vines had already stretched outwards as each of their forms covered a 10 meter space around Dell, slowly snaking around and increasing their reach.

Although it wasn't their forte, the Alverian family bloodline being plant based allowed them to have incredible regeneration capabilities, and it completely showed as Dell's shattered jaw and mouth healed at a visible pace.

Dell was currently gazing at Atticus, his expression shifting from shock to disbelief, and eventually settling on anger.

Dell had been utterly shocked. How had Atticus found out? He had covered his tracks so well that he found it hard to accept that he had been caught.

He felt disbelief because of what Atticus had just done. Throughout the whole time, he hadn't even seen Atticus's afterimage.

If not for his shattered ribs, jaw, and broken cheekbones, he wouldn't even know that he had received three attacks, each one more brutal than the last.

And then finally, anger. 'It's happening again,' Dell thought with complete rage. It had been the same the last time too, 7 years ago.

This same piercing blue eyes that were currently looking down at him.

It had been this same feeling of helplessness.

'I hate this,' Dell hated this feeling to the core.

His vines immediately responded to his intense anger as each one of them started growing in mass and size, and instantaneously, piercing sharp thorns started sprouting from each of their forms.

Greenish tattoos snaked their way upwards towards Dell's neck as his once red eyes turned greenish, glowing with intensity.

In the next instant, each of the vines became as big as enormous obstacle legs, whipping about wildly and making the room tremble.

Just as their forms were about to shoot towards Atticus, the sound of Atticus's second footstep filled the space as a wave of scorching fire materialized, spreading out in every direction and enveloping each one of the vines.

Dell immediately controlled the vines to wrap around him and protect him, but it was a wasted effort as the flames didn't go after him in the first place.

It took only seconds for each of the massive vines to become nothing more than ash that scattered across the air.

In the next instant, Dell landed on the floor, his shocked gaze fixed on Atticus. His glowing green eyes had turned back to normal, and his tattoos turned into motes of light scattering in the air.

The fire had enveloped everything, but he hadn't felt a single thing. If he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have even known that fire had enveloped his form.

The level of precision needed to achieve that was as profound as it was scary. Dell didn't even need to think about it; it was very obvious that Atticus didn't want to kill him and make him disappear; he wanted to torture him.
