Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Hurtled

Kael's voice sounded like the harbinger of impending doom.

The last time Kael had spoken those words, the entrance test had ended before Atticus could see it in action.

Atticus had known it had been powerful then, but with the overwhelming aura that immediately engulfed the whole area as Kael spoke, he could tell its current power could never be compared to back then.

The earth within 8 meters around Kael sunk, snake-like cracks appearing and spreading at an alarming rate.

Simultaneously, crimson-like marks erupted upwards from his chest, weaving a complex network of intricate tattoos that snaked their way across his entire body.

The red glow in his eyes flashed, its hue deepening as his physique expanded in both mass and height, each sinew and muscle gaining an almost supernatural vitality.

Unable to withstand the sheer pressure, his clothes strained against burgeoning muscles and tore, revealing the raw power surging beneath.

His brown hair lengthened as it grew down, cascading with an almost ethereal grace, adopting a striking red hue.

It was shocking, but Kael's genius was undeniable. Despite being just 16 years old, Kael had already attained the Expert- rank, putting him at a level comparable to Avalon and Magnus during their time in the academy.

Considering his rank, it wasn't surprising when vivid red attire erupted from his chest and enveloped him, his aura shooting up and instantly reaching Expert rank.

Kael's right hand reached for the broadsword on his back, sweeping it in a blur to his side and sending an intense wave in response to the force.

The eight vibrating swords around Kael's waist erupted upwards in unison as though they could no longer be contained before cutting downwards with speed, their forms suddenly changing and turning into a bright crimson light that immediately converged around the blade of the broadsword.

The broadsword lengthened, its form becoming bigger and vibrating with intense power.

Every single thing that had just happened occurred in 1.5 seconds; to many, it was an incredibly short time, but to Atticus, it might as well have been a decade.

But regardless, Atticus didn't move one step as Kael's colossal figure rocketed towards him at supersonic speed, the ground he previously stood on instantaneously imploding.

Despite not showing it, Atticus had truly taken Kael as a friend. While it was true that Kael had gotten close to him because he was strong and wanted to battle with him, it didn't change the fact that his intentions had been pure.

Kael had advised and helped him on multiple occasions. Kael had helped him with Zoey, and it was impossible for him to forget how he stood by him when the bone race warriors came for him.

Atticus never forgets his grievances; this was something many had come to understand about him. But what many didn't know was that the same applied to the opposite.

He would never forget any good things that were done for him.

Kael appeared in front of Atticus like a phantom despite his enormous size. His broadsword was raised skyward before it whistled through the air in a blistering descent.

The speed was so intense that it was akin to a meteor plummeting from the heavens.
