Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 539

Chapter 539 Border

It was unlike anything Atticus had ever seen. It was made not of metal or stone, but of pure, shimmering mana. The surface glowed with a soft, luminescent blue, pulsing gently as if alive. It was akin to a river of light.

The pathway was astonishingly wide, broad enough to accommodate multiple airships gliding side by side. War might descend at any moment, and they might need to send an army of troops to defend.

The pathway was all-encompassing, with transparent barriers of mana energy at the edges, protecting the pathway from any potential danger while allowing an unobstructed view of the surroundings.

Atticus noticed the pathway was suspended above the ground, elevated high enough to offer a panoramic view of the area below.

The airship, which had come to an abrupt stop, started moving slowly forward. As Atticus gazed further along the pathway, he saw a checkpoint in the distance.

The checkpoint was an imposing structure, a grand gate made of intricately woven mana threads that formed elaborate patterns and symbols. The gate itself was flanked by tall, crystalline pillars that emitted a steady, comforting glow. Between these pillars, a curtain of mana energy flowed like a waterfall. The energy curtain shimmered with hues of blue and gold, creating a mesmerizing effect.

Near the gate, a multitude of airships floated suspended in the air, with an army of elite guards fully clad in pure white armor standing guard in front of the gate.

A white-haired burly man with a scar passing across his left eye walked forward, his gaze narrowed and fixed on the direction from which they had detected an approaching ship.

"Are we expecting any ships today?" he asked.

One of the elite guards behind him shook his head firmly. "No, Lord Thalor."

"Be on alert," his words were immediately followed by the army of elite guards in the area placing a hand on each of their weapons, their intense killing intent seeping out of their figures. Each of the airships turned in unison, facing the approaching ship.

Thalor also simultaneously unleashed his aura, his grandmaster aura blanketing the whole space. With a voice both commanding and clear, he called out,

"Halt! Identify yourself and state your purpo—."

Just as he was about to address them, the ship suddenly came out of hyper speed and his gaze landed on the ship. Thalor's eyes widened—it's the Aegis ship!

There was no need to even think about who was in that ship. Only three people in the whole Ravenstein family had the power to use it, and they were all big shots!

'Please tell me it's not Master Magnus!' Thalor begged and hoped he hadn't just questioned a paragon.

"Open the gates!"

Thalor didn't bother asking any questions; he didn't even try to check and see who it was. As soon as he saw the vessel, he instantly gave the order to open the gate.

The elite guards nodded in unison and moved out of the way. The airships spread out, shifting away from the path.

As the airship carrying Atticus and Magnus approached the gate, the pillars on the side ignited with a glow, and the curtain of mana dimmed before crumbling.
