Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571 Rules

"Are they like testing areas or something?"

Atticus's question echoed around the scorching area, but it didn't get an immediate answer. His guide seemed to be taking her sweet time to respond. It was as though her focus was elsewhere, which Atticus found quite odd. In fact, he felt slightly offended.

Perhaps he was already too used to the Ravenstein family members fawning over him that he felt weird meeting one that was indifferent?

Atticus couldn't help but inwardly chuckle,

'Looks like I got a bit proud,' he realized.

Atticus turned and gave his guide a good look. She was clad in the same simple robe with yellow flames littered all over it.

Her skin was flawless porcelain white despite having spent time in what many would call a place many times hotter than a forge.

To add the cherry on top, she was very beautiful, and Atticus had no doubt that her family was well off in the Ravenstein family hierarchy.

'But not as beautiful as my Zoey,'

'What is with this aura of control around her?' Atticus was baffled. He had always made it a point to be observant of either the people around him or the environment.

As Atticus kept on moving deeper into the sanctum, he could feel the heat increasing around him. However, his guide's situation was different; he could feel it. There was not a single ripple of temperature change around her.

It was as though the temperature 5 meters away from her remained stagnant. To be more precise, many could even call the temperature around her cold!

Her every step left very visible indentations. It wasn't because they were heavy, no, it was because everywhere she stepped, the temperature of the scorching ground would plummet.

It was unnerving. She was doing so much with the fire element by simply walking.

His gaze narrowed slightly as he noticed the three distinct shapes of glowing flames in a circular motion on her back.

'That definitely signifies something,'

Atticus could still vividly remember earlier when he observed the crowd in the area. He had luckily been able to see the back of a few people, noting that each had either one or two lit-up flames on their backs.

He hadn't really seen many, but Atticus could sense that having three would be rare.

"You could call it that."

After a few seconds, she finally responded.

"To reach each summit, you must climb the stairs. And once there, you would only be allowed to continue your climb should you pass the test. Instructors would be at each summit to guide you, and they would also be your judges."

This time around, she spoke without pause, and Atticus made sure not to miss a single word coming out of her mouth.

"The summits are the most important part of the fire sanctum, and should you reach a point where you feel like you need rest or time to recover, you would be allowed to descend."

"You'll understand once you start your climb." _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}
