Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621 Changes

It was a very delicate situation, one that required Atticus to take a staggering number of things into consideration.

Below him was a very powerful creature that Atticus believed had a certain amount of intelligence, along with a multitude of other beasts approaching its location.

All around him in the air were different flying creatures coming at him from different directions.

However, despite this alarming situation, Atticus had his thoughts focused on something else: what beast was he going to eat today?

Should anyone hear this question, they would immediately freak out. Is now really the best time to think of such a thing?

But Atticus didn't care. It was a valid question. Should he run away now, he wouldn't be able to come outside for a while because the beasts would be on alert.

In lieu of this, Atticus' quick mind thought of a solution the second he heard the flying creatures screech.

The air molecules responded to his command, his figure shooting upwards once again towards the dense clouds in the sky.

The flying beasts screeched upon seeing their prey was about to escape, their speed abruptly increasing. Some beasts were faster than others, while some had simply been closer.

One beast in particular was faster than the flock, reaching Atticus in a few seconds.

Just as Atticus was about to enter the clouds, he slowed down slightly, prompting him and the beast to enter nearly at the same time.

The next events happened instantly and fluidly.

Clouds were made up of tiny water droplets or ice crystals. In essence, the air in the clouds was filled with moisture and a staggering amount of water molecules.

Given this fact, it wasn't surprising that as soon as the beast entered the cloud after Atticus, claws blazing,

"Kwek?"

It immediately found its movements becoming stiff and an intense coldness engulfing its body.

In the next second, the beast's entire body was frozen. Its eyes trembled as though struggling to understand what happened before the coldness reached its brain, freezing it completely.

Atticus' eyes remained calm and cold as the light molecules swirled and covered them both, their figures disappearing from view.

The other flying beasts burst into the clouds in the next second, a multitude of intense screeching rocking the space as they saw their prey had escaped.

The humanoid beast standing in the forest fixed its crimson eyes calmly on the spot where Atticus had disappeared.

Then it suddenly brought its gaze downwards, looking towards a particular direction. Its gaze cut through the dense crimson forest, crossing miles of land and finally reached one location, a waterfall.

However, just as it was about to move, it suddenly turned its head towards the high peak in the distance. Staring at it for a few seconds, the roots around it returned to their original position in the ground and trees.

Without doing anything further, it turned and entered the depths of the forest.

…

Atticus released his hold over the light molecules surrounding only him and appeared into view. He was currently at the top of the tall trees in front of the river.

'That was close,'

Atticus had utilized one of the skills the light sanctum master had taught him: using light to create illusions. It was a good thing he practiced that until he was able to replicate it in a second.

'Now I have to be fast and quick,'

Atticus had to pause at the edge before entering the water because of the new predator. It was dangerous to let the beast roam free, especially so close to his resting space, but Atticus didn't want to take any chances now.

After a few seconds, he released his hold over the light molecules and replaced it with air. He created a barrier made of air around him and the beast and immediately dived into the river.

The beast most definitely had an affinity to the water element; Atticus couldn't afford to use it in case it attacked.

Atticus moved like a torpedo inside the water, reaching the entrance to his cavern in a second. He manipulated the hole to increase in size with the earth element and reached the cavern.

Before relaxing, Atticus did a thorough sweep of the cavern to make sure nothing had entered while he was away or that no new holes had formed.

Noting that he was completely safe, Atticus sat down on the earthen platform and calmed his racing mind.

He placed the frozen beast at the other end of the platform. His thoughts immediately drifted towards the humanoid beast he had just seen.
