Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Ethereal Cloak

Seated cross-legged in the center of his training room, Atticus held the newly acquired art in his hands. Channeling his mana into the art, he absorbed its knowledge into his brain, causing the book to crumble to dust after a few seconds.

The art he had bought this time was an Empowered potential art, that cost 18,000 Raven Points.

Ethereal Cloak[Potential: Empowered] - This art enables an individual to mimic the unique mana signatures of his environment, effectively camouflaging his presence, rendering the individual invisible to the naked eye and senses.

Atticus regarded this art as invaluable due to its versatility. He believed that being able to blend seamlessly with the surroundings could prove useful in countless situations, especially when facing unpredictable challenges.

He had always been cautious, and he felt that he should have a skill that would help him escape if needed.

With the information now ingrained in his mind, Atticus closed his eyes and began the process of learning Ethereal Cloak. The art consisted of several steps, and the first requirement was to have precise control over mana, which Atticus didn't lack.

Taking a deep breath, he initiated the first step to envelop his entire body with mana. He concentrated on the mana stored within his core and willed it outward, causing it to flow from his core and spread across every inch of his form.

An observer would notice a blue glow enveloping Atticus, representing the mana coating his body.

After a minute, he felt he had gained control over this aspect, and decided to move to the next step. The next step was to attune his own mana signature to that of the environment, allowing him to seamlessly merge with his surroundings.

Atticus took another deep breath and focused intensely. He could feel the interaction between his mana and that of the environment.

His own mana possessed a distinct character—it was more volatile, firm, and rigid compared to the environment's mana, which flowed more freely and adaptively. His mana naturally repelled external influences, while the environment's mana blended harmoniously with its surroundings.

To master Ethereal Cloak, Atticus needed to make his mana mimic the exact signature of the environment, a task that initially posed significant challenges.

Achieving this required an intricate understanding of the diverse mana flows in different locations and the skill to replicate them with pinpoint accuracy.

After a few hours of relentless attempts, Atticus finally managed to achieve a rudimentary level of proficiency, albeit barely.

He could sense himself becoming more attuned to the environment, almost as if the surroundings began to accept him as one of its own. The blue glow enveloping him had turned transparent, with his presence becoming faint.

However, his control was far from perfect, and he struggled to maintain this state for more than a few seconds at a time.

Atticus felt happy that this art didn't demand an excessive amount of mana but relied more on concentration. Given his innate intelligence, he thrived on such challenges.
