Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 763

Chapter 763 Infuriating

The screens went blank. The shockwave that ensued after the collision of both attacks was so intense that it enveloped the entire arena, obscuring the live stream.

People stared at the screens with wide eyes, leaning forward as if they could will themselves into it to see the outcome firsthand. The tension in the air was just that insane.

To them, the battle had to be over. The explosion they had just witnessed was too immense, like the climactic finale at the peak of every battle.

The seconds that followed were slow and excruciating for everyone watching. The people of the human domain felt their hearts racing, many muttering prayers under their breaths.

Anastasia's heart pounded so hard that every person in the Ravenstein estate could have heard it. Yet, no one paid attention, as their own hearts were also racing.

Finally, the inevitable happened. The dust that obscured the entire arena began to clear, revealing the aftermath.

On one side, the two Carius hovered, weapons in hand, their cold gazes fixed forward, and an overwhelming aura continued to build around them. But everyone's focus was on one detail: they were both unscathed.

They turned their attention to the other side, and the hearts of the humans watching tightened. Tears streaked down Anastasia's face as though the world was crumbling around her.

Atticus barely hovered high above the abyss below, blood dripping steadily from his wounds into the darkness. His entire body was covered in cuts and gashes, and he was no longer clad in his exosuit. His clothes were torn and soaked in blood.

He was in terrible shape.

In that moment, any thoughts of winning the competition faded from the minds of the humans. But then, their eyes met his, and every doubt was erased.

Despite his terrible condition, despite the struggle it took just to remain in the air, the cold determination in Atticus's eyes never wavered.

It was as if he felt no pain, as if his condition was nothing more than a minor inconvenience.

His eyes were locked onto a single figure— one of the two Carius hovering before him. Though Magnus had advised him to survive if this ability was used against him, he had also explained the way to break it— a weakness, if one could even call it that. Due to its immense difficulty, it was hardly a weakness at all.

Atticus's eyes flashed. _{freёwebnovel.com}

'That's the true one.'

The other copies Carius had summoned were identical in every way— their aura, features, and even expressions. It was as if this was Carius's intention, to create perfect clones. The method to break the technique was simple, but executing it was not: killing the original. When faced with five identical foes, focusing on just one was impossible, and Atticus would have been dead before he could do anything, especially since each clone had the full power of Carius.

Discovering which one was the original was another challenge.

But now that their numbers had been reduced, those challenges seemed surmountable.
