Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 624

Chapter 624 Bored

Atticus was calm.

Ever since he advanced into the Master rank, his senses had been multiple times sharper than they had been before. He already knew the situation before he surfaced.

'I can't escape,' Atticus determined.

The person, or rather beast, who had just spoken was floating directly above Atticus, staring down at him as though he were an ant.

It was humanoid, much like the creature Atticus had encountered earlier. However, this figure had features closer to those of normal humans. Its hands and legs were of normal sizes, but its head was still spherical with crimson red eyes.

Regardless, this wasn't what Atticus was focused on. The aura of the creature was expansive and intimidating—an aura that Atticus could never mistake—a Grandmaster.

All around him, surrounding the waterfall, were multiple figures of the Master+ rank humanoid creatures, identical to the one he had seen before.

Even though he had recently advanced, there was no escaping this situation. However, Atticus held the hilt of his katana tightly, but he didn't unleash any battle intent or aura.

'I need to be ready to enter the katana at any moment,'

Atticus brought himself out of the river and stood up straight. Despite the dangerous situation, there was not a ripple of fear or uncertainty on his face.

"Do you resist?" The Grandmaster humanoid who had spoken earlier frowned as he saw Atticus holding his katana hilt. His lips curled upwards as he stared at Atticus with contempt. He was hoping the human would resist.

Atticus shook his head, "Take me to your Sovereign."

The frown on the Grandmaster humanoid grew deeper as he stared at Atticus for a few seconds without saying anything.

'Such composure,'

From what he had learned about humans, they were simple creatures. They were prideful despite being weak and always loved to assert their dominance, especially on their weaker counterparts.

However, when faced with an opponent they believed they had no chance against, there was only supposed to be one feeling—fear and hopelessness.

'So why is he so calm?' The Grandmaster rank humanoid found Atticus to be an interesting human.

It waved its hand and a platform made of blackened roots formed underneath Atticus and wrapped around him, lifting him up into the air.

Atticus didn't fight it or struggle and allowed himself to be carried. The other humanoid beasts who had come with the Grandmaster surrounded Atticus like escorts, and they shot through the air with speed.

The journey towards the peak was as uneventful as it could get, but the sights were enchanting. Atticus saw a myriad of creatures flying through the air and wandering the crimson forests. They were all new species, types that he hadn't seen before.

As he got deeper into the chasm, Atticus noticed a change in the type of creatures he was seeing. The redness of the forest became deeper, and Atticus saw more of the humanoid creatures.

The deeper he went, the stranger it became. The creatures seemed to increasingly resemble humans in their appearance. They seemed more intelligent and stronger, and Atticus soon sighted different housing structures and communities.

The Grandmaster rank humanoid could see the slight shock on Atticus' face and snickered.

"We're not just the mindless beasts that you humans see us as."

Atticus didn't offer any response and simply kept quiet, causing the journey to descend into silence.

Soon enough, they reached the peak that Atticus had been trying so hard to avoid this past month. The peak was incredibly high in the sky, almost touching the clouds, and they had to ascend that high up to reach it.

Atticus could feel a great pressure emanating from the peak, one that made him want to escape.

'This Sovereign… what is he?'

While Atticus' mind was working fast, the mountain parted open, and the group entered and found themselves inside a big hallway with a giant double door at the end.

"We greet the Vizier Niall!"

The two guards stationed at the entrance saluted the Grandmaster humanoid, Niall, who simply nodded and walked past them while dragging Atticus with him.

The hallway was plain and had no decoration. It only had a few magic lights illuminating the space. They soon reached the large double door, and Niall suddenly turned towards Atticus.

"Surrender your weapon. None shall wield any weapons in front of the Sovereign."

Atticus' hand holding the katana's hilt tightened as his battle intent suddenly exploded.

The surrounding soldiers immediately became alert, their cold gazes fixed on Atticus.

There was no need for Atticus to say anything; his action had spoken instead—he wasn't going anywhere without his weapon.
