Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Mortrex

Her voice sounded clear and very feminine.

Anyone who heard it would have no doubts that the one who had just spoken was a female, petite at the same time. And truly, she was.

There were exactly four seats on top of the elevated platform. Two were closest to the stairs leading to the platform, while there was one directly behind the two.

Lastly, at a higher elevation than the three aforementioned seats, a bigger and more imposing throne stood.

Amongst the people sitting down on top of the elevated platform, the queen was seated just behind the two seats closest to the stairs.

And as she spoke, the hall seemed to fall into a palpable silence, only broken by the sound of drops of sweat hitting the ground and the clattering of teeth.

No one amongst the men below the platform turned to look at her, not even a glance, but they all couldn't help but sigh inwardly. There was no helping it; something terrible was coming.

The queen, just like her voice, was petite. She couldn't be more than 5 feet 3 inches if she stood up.

She was donned in a regal and elegant yellow dress adorned with myriads of decorative and luxurious jewelry.

Her skin was pale white, and she had red intricate lines tracing along from her head in a circling motion. Unlike the rest of the individuals Atticus had met, her head wasn't bald.

Pure white hair cascaded down her back in gentle waves, its length reaching her waist. Its pristine white color complemented her white pupils, which seemed to look down on everything as though they were completely inconsequential.

Her face was the personification of gentleness, but every single person in this room knew better than to believe that facade. She was Viviana Ossara, the Queen of the bone race.

The only two individuals who actually dared to look at her were the two seated at the front of her.

They both bore a striking resemblance to Zekaron and just like him, radiated a princely aura. They were the 1st and 2nd princes of the bone race.

The silence lasted for a few seconds, seconds which felt like hell for Illa. The drops of sweat and clattering of teeth were all obviously coming from him.

He turned to look at his father once more, but this time around, he didn't even bother to look at him.

After a few seconds, a thought suddenly struck him, one that made his heart clench. It had only been exactly four seconds, but had he really been keeping her waiting for that long?

Illa didn't regain his composure; he was far from that, but he had to speak. Despite the fact that the queen didn't show any visible emotion on her face, he wasn't stupid enough to test her patience.

His words came out stuttered,

"T-the t-third p-Prince s-snuck a-away during the a-attack, and we didn't h-hear from him again until one h-human boy brought him out of a space storage a-already d-dead."

His words sent different waves of expressions across the hall, but the most prominent was anger. They had killed their prince?

Before anyone could say anything about the situation, Illa suddenly hit his hand on his chest and spoke frantically, "I want to make a warrior's promise. No mat-"

"Describe him."

But he didn't even get a chance to speak, as the Queen suddenly interrupted again, making the hall turn silent once again.

Illa gulped audibly. Throughout the scene, he hadn't once faced upwards to look at the queen; his gaze was fixed directly on the ground.

He mustered up the courage and spoke, stuttering as he described Atticus's features. Despite his trembling form, he was still very detailed and described the way he looked, down to the last detail.

He even went as far as to also describe Aurora, who had also been with Atticus.

After a few intense seconds, he finished and then quickly continued his earlier speech,

"No matter what, I will find-"

The ground underneath Illa suddenly rumbled, and in the next second, the sound of flesh being pierced resounded across the hall as pointy bone-like spikes suddenly materialized beneath and around Illa, piercing his form from every conceivable angle.

An incredible amount of crimson blood splattered around the area.

As the blood reached each of the individuals in the hall, a translucent shield of different colors suddenly appeared in front of each of them, stopping it from touching their forms.

At the next instance, the sound of a loud explosion suddenly rocked the space. The gazes of everyone in the hall snapped towards the door, their gazes narrowed.

They all instantly realized what had happened; the ship Illa had come back with, where all the soldiers that had gone on the mission were, had been destroyed.

There was only one person who didn't create a shield, Illa's father. The blood splattered all over his body, his whole form instantly drenched.

He was basically the older version of Illa, with his whole body filled with fat. He was none other than the head of one of the main lineages of the bone race, Caius Vernumer, with the members of this lineage having the ability to control and mold bones to any form they wished.

Caius' aura suddenly exploded, his body becoming many times heavier. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}
