Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 590

Chapter 590 Test

Dekai's pressure was insanely heavy. It was as though he had been containing his vast amount of power deep within him.

Atticus felt the temperature of the summit spike. The area where Dekai stood was simply hardened ground. There was no hint of flames in a significant radius around him.

The sound of his walking stick hitting the ground echoed like a war drum. An intense heat wave spread out, followed by the air around Dekai igniting.

It was unlike anything he had done before.

Completely unlike the demonstrations he had given. His flames looked so solid and thick that Atticus couldn't help but think it was lava.

It didn't take a second. The flames coalesced and arranged themselves with a speed that many in the area found hard to believe.

In the next second, a large construct was formed in front of Dekai, a perfect image of himself, down to the last detail.

"He's a goner,"

Duran exclaimed from the side. He and the others were still trying their best to recover from Dekai unleashing his presence. If Duran had been standing in place of Atticus, he would have run without a second thought!

Joana instead watched the unfolding scene calmly. The boy kept on showing amazing things upon amazing things; it would be unwise to believe he couldn't do so now.

'So this is the father of fire,'

Atticus clenched his fist hard. Currently, with Dekai not even doing anything, Atticus could feel the surrounding fire molecules had gotten insanely heavier.

'This won't be easy,'

Atticus prepared himself for the worst. There was no way he was defeating this monster of a man in an orthodox battle.

'But I only have to get one hit in. I can do it!'

The world slowed as Atticus's perception ramped up to full throttle. His entire being went into controlling his construct.

From each molecule to limbs, to joints, Atticus reinforced everything that would hinder his construct's movements.

Dekai had already given the go-ahead to begin the battle. Atticus wasted no time.

His focus at its peak, Atticus sent waves of instructions to each molecule.

His construct responded in kind, abruptly coiling back before shooting forward with the force of a rocket.

The ground trembled as the construct blazed towards Dekai's construct, the massive distance getting covered in a flash. Atticus's construct was precise and accurate, moving as though it were a normal human.

Such control was something that Atticus shouldn't be able to display considering the short time he had spent here. But currently, everyone along with Dekai had learned to take everything this boy did at face value.

Dekai's gaze remained impassive and firm. There was not a single ripple of change on his face.

His response was slow and deliberate, but its consequences were devastating.

Dekai slightly raised his walking stick, his construct mirroring his movement. It descended in the next instant, the sound of it hitting the ground echoing like a thunderclap.

Like an intense tsunami approaching the shoreline from every direction, a wave of scorching fire radiated outward, approaching Atticus's construct with blazing speed.

Atticus's gaze widened. If that wave of fire hit, his construct would be a goner! He acted instantly.

The katana on its waist exploded into its grasp, the construct coming to an abrupt stop. The tip of the fire-made katana glowed an intense blue and it thrust it into the ground.

Just as the wave of scorching fire was about to hit, a palpable blue wave radiated out from the construct, encompassing it like a barrier.

The wave of fire passed through, and the barrier held.

Atticus didn't waste a second.

The construct stood up and exploded forward, its katana held with two arms behind it as its legs moved with speed.

The distance between them was closed in a flash, Atticus's construct reaching Dekai's unmoving one.

Abruptly, Atticus's construct feinted left before slashing downward at Dekai's right leg.

However, Dekai's construct mirrored every demeanor of its master, calm and utterly still.

A small barrier the exact size of the katana's blade sprung up and deflected the strike effortlessly.

But Atticus didn't falter. His construct stomped forward, halting its momentum before unleashing a torrent of swift, devastating slashes.

Each attack was met by a small barrier, appearing just in time to block the onslaught with uncanny precision.

Atticus's gaze narrowed. His construct leaped backward, creating a few meters of space. Raising its massive katana skyward, it erupted into a wave of blue fire.

The onlookers' eyes widened in shock. It was the same technique Cerron had used! Had Atticus mastered it in mere minutes?

The flaming blue katana descended, unleashing an arc of intense blue fire that hurtled toward Dekai's construct. The air sizzled with its passage, and the ground scorched beneath its path.

Dekai's construct remained unperturbed, a slight smile playing on Dekai's lips as the devastating attack closed in.

'Ah, I truly can't wait to see his future. I hope I'm alive to witness it,'
