Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604 Darkness

The darkness sanctum was gloomy. It didn't help that it was next to the light sanctum.

To Atticus, it was as though he had left a place full of excitement and life for a place devoid of any. The darkness sanctum stood like a mass of blackness, absorbing all light from its surroundings.

Atticus walked forward and approached the gates of the darkness sanctum.

'Let's get this over with,'

This was all Atticus could think about. After learning the darkness element, he would finally be done with the seven elements and could face lightning. After that, it would be all about continuous training and improvement. He couldn't wait to be done.

Atticus stood in front of the gate and waited patiently. Unlike the other times, there was no one either waiting for him or arriving after a few seconds.

The whole area was silent.

"Should I go over the wall?"

Atticus was getting a little impatient. Standing alone amidst the gloom was somehow getting to him.

But as though they could hear his thoughts, the gates of the darkness sanctum suddenly swung open and a voice sounded from within,

"Come in."

It was the voice of an old man. It sounded nonchalant and lazy. He could even hear the subtle sound of a sigh as he spoke.

Atticus fixed his gaze on the inside of the darkness sanctum. It was completely pitch black, and he couldn't see anything no matter how hard he tried.

The darkness element gave him a passive ability that enabled him to somewhat see in the darkness, even if he didn't try, but currently, he was trying his best and still couldn't see.

'My life is not in danger,'

Those were the words Atticus used to reassure himself. If not for the protection of one of the most powerful existences on the planet, he wouldn't even think of entering this place.

Atticus walked through the gates, and instantly, every single notion of light left him. All he could see was pitch darkness, an infinite void.

He could still feel his body, and all his senses aside from his vision were functioning properly.

Atticus suddenly heard the man sigh again and speak,

"Looks like I have no choice, how annoying."

Atticus suddenly heard the man sigh again and speak,

"Looks like I have no choice, how annoying."

The man sounded as though everything and everyone was a bother.

"I guess I have to train you… Find me then. If you can't, then you should leave and not waste my time."

Atticus could hear the slight hope in the man's voice. He really didn't want Atticus to find him.

"Do I have your word that you will not move from your current position?"

The man was undoubtedly the sanctum master of the darkness sanctum, a grandmaster rank of the darkness element. Should Atticus play hide and seek with the man, he couldn't even dream of finding him.

It was better to lay down the rules from the beginning.

The voice went silent for a second before he spoke,

"Hmph. So you can use your head, huh? It's not like I plan on doing something so dishonorable in the first place."

'Lies,'

Atticus knew it was a very big lie but didn't say anything. He had pulled another short stick and had gotten a weird instructor.

'I just have to get over this element, and it'll be over,' still, Atticus was determined.

"So I have your word?"

The man went silent.

"Tsk. Annoying brat. Yes! You have my word. If you're so hellbent on rules, here are some more. You have one hour to find me or you lose. No other element is allowed. You have to see and tell me the color of my dress and how I look in every detail."

Atticus nodded. To be honest, he had been expecting one more rule, but the man didn't say it. 'Is he underestimating me?'

Atticus decided to stop thinking about it and immediately started his search.

The man had forgotten to add one important rule, the banning of perception.

Atticus couldn't see, but he could use his sense of feel to locate. The man might have said he had to identify the color of his clothing, but he would cross that bridge when he found him. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

Then, Atticus tried to sense his surroundings, his brows furrowing in the next second.

The man suddenly snickered before laughing uncontrollably. It would seem as though Atticus's actions had been that funny.
