Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616 Pull

The beast moved like a predator in the middle of the blue ocean. Its every movement was swift and deliberate. To it, its prey was already dead before it had even gotten there.

Atticus watched as a large appendage shot up from the depths of the water, engulfing and dragging one of the darkness beasts downwards, leaving a trail of blood in its wake.

Atticus reacted instantly and manipulated the water molecules around him.

He shot downwards like a torpedo, keeping up with the beast. The surroundings kept getting darker, but Atticus's mastery of the darkness element made that fact obsolete.

Soon enough, Atticus saw the beast swerve and enter a cave by the side. However, he paused at the entrance of the cave instead of immediately following it in.

Atticus waited for a minute before covering himself with the darkness molecules and entered the cave.

The cave was so narrow and filled with water that Atticus couldn't move his limbs around; he had to keep his body straight and control the water to move him forward.

After some seconds, Atticus found himself out of the narrow cave and into a large body of water. He could see some light coming from above and he immediately swam quietly towards it, reaching the surface in a few seconds.

Bringing his head slowly out of the water, Atticus swept his gaze around and immediately saw that he was inside a small cavern. In its middle was a rocky platform, illuminated by the faint glow of bioluminescent fungi.

The sound of flesh tearing followed by loud chewing permeated the space. Atticus watched silently as the beast dismantled and devoured the darkness beast effortlessly.

The beast was humongous, so big that it was impossible to fit inside the narrow space Atticus had used to get into the cavern.

'That's a very long tail,' Atticus thought as his gaze landed on the cause of everything. The beast had a spherical torso with two fins by its sides and multiple tiny legs.

Its mouth was as wide as its whole body and had black, pointy teeth. However, the highlight of its appearance was its tail. It was long.

Atticus failed to figure how long its tail was. It wrapped around the rocky platform consecutively, and he could see its end.

The tail tip was round and seemed to have a hole covered with sharp appendages. It was currently shaking around above the beast.

'That must be what it used to capture the darkness beasts,' Atticus surmised.

'Now how do I go about this?'

With the few seconds Atticus had spent inside the cavern, he was convinced that he needed to have this all to himself.

The outside was too open, and he couldn't move around freely lest he run into something he couldn't handle. More importantly, he needed a place to rest and train just in case he ran out of energy fighting. This cavern fit all the criteria.

'I have to kill it,' Atticus's gaze turned cold, and he immediately formulated a plan in his head. The beast was unfortunately a Master+ rank, and Atticus had seen how fast that tail could go. He couldn't risk it.

Afterwards, Atticus moved nearer to the rocky platform, covered himself in darkness, and waited. Patience was key.

The beast finished feasting on the darkness beast, its massive jaws crunching the last of the bones with ease.
