Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 Bone Dessert

The only ones who didn't really show any visible reaction were Ember and Kael. They both still had their weapons in their hands, gazing up at the screen ever so calmly.

Ember and Kael had never been ones to panic much; the former trusted Atticus that much, while the latter just couldn't find a reason to panic. Their artifacts weren't for decoration.

The confusion among the students intensified when they also found out that Atticus didn't appear on the platform with the rest.

They each murmured, coming up with different speculations, before deciding to simply focus on the screen and wait.

…

There was no one among the instructors who didn't know what a domain was. Many of them were in the process of trying to form theirs, after all.

The number of instructors that stood up as soon as Mortrex deployed his domain was staggering.

Many were shocked beyond words. Why the hell was he using a domain against a 16-year-old? But as though remembering Harrison's words, they each sat down without uttering a word.

Isabella and Jared didn't bother to stand up; it was as though they knew it would be pointless. Just like the students, they chose to focus on the screen.

…

Darkness—that was what Atticus could see. Even when he saw the cocoon unfurling, Atticus's gaze didn't once blink.

He immediately knew that there was no outrunning it and decided instead to maintain his alertness.

His hand clutched his katana tightly, his life weapon vibrating in an assuring manner. His stance remained undisturbed, his piercing blue gaze with a hint of crimson in his irises fixed ahead from under his exo suit.

Then, Atticus waited.

But he didn't have to wait for long as the scene suddenly changed and Atticus underwent a series of afflictions.

The air suddenly became heavy, the temperature plummeting as a new scene manifested in its full, awe-inspiring glory.

Bones rose from the ground, forming towering dunes and jagged outcrops. Skeletal trees appeared, their branches rattling in the frigid wind.

The landscape transformed into a vast, eerie desert, shimmering with a spectral light.

Atticus's gaze flashed, his mind working at high speed as he attempted to comprehend everything that was happening.

The Desert stretched as far as the eye could see, an endless sea of white and pale hues.

The ground was a mixture of fine, powdery sand and countless bone fragments.

Around him were massive dunes composed of both sand and bone fragments that shifted with the wind, creating an eerie, ever-changing landscape.

Here and there, large skeletal remains jutted out from the sand, some resembling rib cages of colossal beasts, towering vertebral columns, or skulls the size of boulders.

But this wasn't all.

Sparse, skeletal plants dotted the landscape, their structures resembling twisted bones.
