Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487 Crowds

The Ossara family might not be the ruling family of the bone race, but regardless, their influence was far from small.

Their numbers might have been whittled down, their influence diminished, but every single member of the bone race knew better than to mess with them. Their might could not be questioned.

Commanding the city guards, especially when they have a good reason for it, was easy as making pie.

A message was sent, reaching every single soldier and guard in the city:

"The same enemy who killed Prince Zekaron and many others is attempting to escape. The Ossara family is currently in pursuit. Activate the city shields."

Those words caused a ripple effect around the entire city. Many raged, many immediately acted.

The majority donned their suits, equipped their weapons, and marched out through the streets.

The forms of a staggering amount of heavily armed warriors ran through the streets, each of them chasing the blazing figure in the air.

A multitude of small portable objects suddenly streamed out of the hover cars that were hot on Atticus's trail, their forms spreading out in every direction.

Each of them suddenly lit up in a low glow, and then suddenly, all over the entire city, incredibly large screens started appearing one by one until the whole city was filled with screens.

Every single one of the civilians going about their day, some simply strolling, others picking their children from school, many on a date, all immediately stopped whatever they were doing, their gazes focusing on the large screens that had appeared before them.

On it was the clear live footage of the streaking form of Atticus along with the multitude of hover cars whizzing through the air at blinding speeds, closing in on Atticus.

Simultaneously, the city walls suddenly trembled, each of the gates of the city lighting up in a golden glow that illuminated their surroundings. At the next second, the golden lights shot up into the skies from each point, each of them meeting in the air.

A golden shield unfurled, instantaneously encompassing the entirety of the city in a golden dome.

Atticus's gaze narrowed, his thoughts spinning.

Many individuals would have panicked if they were in this situation, but as Atticus saw the shield, he couldn't help but thank his stars. How could he be this lucky!?

If this were before, his reaction would have been to blast his way through with his highest power, but apart from the fact that his power was currently being restricted, Atticus had in his repertoire an element that could effortlessly get out of this situation.

It was an element he hadn't shown in public before, an element he thought it best to keep hidden.

Atticus had no idea what revealing said element in front of millions of students would do; he couldn't. But at this point, he didn't care. What mattered was that he needed to escape; he needed to use it.

"Atticus,"

Atticus turned his gaze down as soon as he heard Aurora's soft mutter. She was currently in his arms, clinging to him tightly. Atticus had never been more thankful that Aurora's bloodline element was the fire element.

There was currently searing fire surrounding both of them, and although Atticus was able to mitigate the heat, he was unfortunately not adept enough to cancel it completely. If it had been another person, they would have probably started roasting by now.

Atticus locked eyes with Aurora, giving her a nod. It seemed like a normal nod, but to Aurora, who saw it, it was everything. Aurora's worried heart seemed to calm down, her gaze turning serious. Atticus would handle it.
