Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 659

Chapter 659 Sizzling

Ronad had just been slapped hard in the face—twice. However, his expression was one of complete confusion.

His brain was still rattling in his skull, struggling to process what was happening. But as the third cataclysmic slap landed, sending him flying once more, Ronad's mind finally registered the reality of the situation.

He, a grandmaster+ rank, was being slapped?

Ronad might have been a madman, but he was still prideful to the core. His face twisted with rage, and his eyes burned with fury. He let out a roar that echoed across the battlefield.

The air molecules came under Ronad's immediate command as he called upon his dispersed domain once more.

A palpable wave of energy erupted from Ronad. The winds whipped into a frenzy, the very atmosphere bending to his will as his domain surged outward.

But as the intense air currents expanded, they collided with the overwhelming presence of Avalon's already established domain. Ronad's domain was immediately stifled, suppressed by the searing heat that surrounded him.

Yet, Ronad's anger only grew. He focused his power, and with another furious shout, unleashed a raging hurricane from within his constrained domain.

The winds howled with deafening force as towering tornadoes manifested, their power so immense that they tore through the landscape.

The tornadoes immediately caught Avalon's flames, whipping them into fiery vortexes that spiraled out of control, causing devastation wherever they touched.

They sped out in different directions, hoping to catch Avalon off guard. However, Avalon simply… blipped.

One moment, he was a distant figure standing calmly amidst the inferno, and the next, he appeared within Ronad's small domain.

The air around him seemed to part, making way as he walked slowly and unhurriedly through Ronad's domain, his expression unreadable.

A twisted grin immediately spread across Ronad's face as he saw Avalon within his domain.

'Finally!'

Even though they were currently within Avalon's domain, this was his space. His domain might have been shrinking, but it hadn't lost yet!

He finally had Avalon within reach, and he wasted no time unleashing everything he had.

Air spikes materialized from the turbulent winds around him, sharp and deadly, each one aimed directly at Avalon. The spikes shot forward with incredible speed, converging on him from all sides.

But as the spikes closed in, Avalon took a single, calm step forward. The moment his foot touched the ground, the intense winds within Ronad's domain began to falter.

The spikes disintegrated in mid-air, the swirling tornadoes lost their momentum, and the once ferocious winds dissipated like mist before the sun.

In an instant, Ronad's domain—a symbol of the power of grandmaster ranks, a force that would cause natural disasters upon its release—was dispersed by a single step.

Ronad's gaze trembled, his mind freezing. No matter how much he tried to summon his domain, it wouldn't respond to his call. No, it was responding, but the usual range it could reach had become an impossibility. It couldn't extend beyond his own body.

"W-what is this strength?"

Ronad could only ask. Avalon was in the same rank as he was. Battles between those of the same rank were supposed to be intense, with both sides exerting significant effort. However, it was clear to Ronad that Avalon hadn't even deemed it necessary to use a weapon against him, or even his fists!

In fact, Ronad was just beginning to realize that the only reason Avalon was using his domain at all was to prevent them from escaping his grasp.

As the sound of Avalon's approaching footsteps grew closer, Ronad felt a deep, soul-crushing fear.

This was the family head of the Ravenstein family.

A monster.

That was what the man before him was.

"W-wait—"

Before Ronad could finish speaking, Avalon blipped once more, his figure vanishing and reappearing directly in front of him.

There was no time to react—Avalon's hand moved like a lightning strike, his palm connecting with Ronad's face in a titanic collision that imploded the earth beneath them.
