Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 Pound

They were both fully donned in the purple suits along with their helmets. Atticus also brought out two guns and gave them to her. Seeing how small Aurora was in the suit, with it being oversized, Atticus focused on the water element and let it stream inside the suit, buffing it up and making it fuller. In the next second, what was once a 5'4feet girl turned into 6'1.

With the water still enveloping them both, Aurora got on his back once again, and Atticus moved back a few meters, putting enough distance from the towers, and started searching for groups of patrolling soldiers, all wearing full sets of armor.

After a few moments, Atticus found the perfect group. They were heading up the hill and were fully donned in armor.

'I'll have to be fast, silent, and precise,' Atticus thought.

He stopped on a tree branch further from them, placing a palm on the tree, entering a state of focus.

Aurora came down from his back and became the lookout. There were many other patrols in the area, but what they were about to do should be instant.

Her job was to see if anyone was heading towards their direction directly.

Since the time he had learned how to use the water in trees and other living things, Atticus had been practicing it constantly. _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}

At this point in time, although he wasn't perfect, he was more adept at utilizing it.

Following the flow of water from the trees, Atticus mapped the movements of the approaching group. There were exactly six in number.

He narrowed down the two walking behind the group, two steps away from each other. Atticus focused on the spots he anticipated the both of them would step on, a spot that was directly under the tree he and Aurora were standing on, and then he waited.

After a few moments, they both reached the spot, and as silent as a spring bubbling from the earth, water suddenly gushed out of the two spots, enveloping each of the two men before they could even let out a sound.

A staggering amount of sharp gales instantly whipped about inside the water, slashing the throats and every exposed part of the men, turning the water a slight shade of crimson.

Atticus instantly took away his palm from the tree and jumped downwards together with Aurora.

Just as they were about to land, they both focused on their space storage, bringing the forms of the water-enveloped soldiers into their space storage.

Then, they landed silently at the same exact spot the two soldiers had been killed. Everything happened in the span of 1.5 seconds, neither of the patrolling soldiers having noticed or suspected anything.

Atticus focused on the water inside Aurora's suit, making sure it was firm and wouldn't hinder her movements, and started walking behind the soldiers as though they had always been a part of them.

After moving for a while, Atticus couldn't help but be thankful,

'Thank goodness they aren't speaking to each other,' Atticus thought. He was glad they were too serious about their jobs that they didn't slack off or even joke around with each other as they moved.

Just as Atticus had hoped, the soldiers kept on moving until they reached the top of the hill.

They reached the top, and Atticus and Aurora's gazes widened as they witnessed the scene down below.

It was both beautiful and frightening at the same time.

The city of the bone race.

Only one word came to Atticus' head, 'Shit.'

The soldiers didn't stop, and Atticus and Aurora were far too exposed to turn back now. The duo both followed behind them as they started descending down the hill.

Atticus had misjudged the width of the hill and the numbers of watchtowers in the area.

The whole city was surrounded by tall hills, the city being situated in the middle. And all around the hill were the imposing forms of watchtowers.

From their current location, there was a white padded path that led downward, cutting through a forest directly towards the gates of the city. There were several of these paths all around, leading to the city.
