Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 765

Chapter 765 Holding Back

The situation felt surreal.

It was just a single word— one Carius had heard countless times in this new world.

For the masses, witnessing the formation of a domain was a rare, awe inspiring event, but Carius was not one of the masses.

Due to his race's abilities and his father's training, he had seen domains of all shapes and sizes formed by those of his race. He had watched, studied, and analyzed them, all to awaken his own domain faster.

But now, even though he had experienced domains countless times, something felt different. Something felt wrong.

A person he considered nothing more than an insect had spoken a single word, and yet he felt fear.

Fear?

The grip on his sword tightened as he steadied himself within the water filled dome. Space wrapped around him and his alternate self, shielding them from the crushing waves as they hovered high in the dome. Both versions of Carius watched, their expressions cold but wary, as they observed the chaos unfolding.

A beam of blue pierced the sky, striking the golden dome above before it unfurled, spreading across the entire dome.

The air grew heavy, the intense energy radiating from the beam creating a pressure so dense it felt like a vice.

And at the center of it all stood a figure, eyes burning with an electric blue. An overwhelming killing intent blanketed the space— palpable, suffocating.

Both Carius figures narrowed their eyes.

They had to attack now!

Both Carius figures came to the same conclusion simultaneously. He was clearly undergoing a transformation, and Carius was proud but not foolish. He knew he was at a disadvantage. Allowing him to finish his transformation would be a great mistake.

The space around them warped, and just as Carius was about to move, he suddenly felt space tighten around him. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

The water pressure!?

The water pressure inside the dome had increased manifold, immobilizing both versions of Carius. They couldn't move properly even if they wanted to.

'He got us.'

Carius seethed. The entire dome was filled with water, making it Atticus's dominion. If the water pressure and intense gales weren't so concentrated, he might have been able to teleport to Atticus.

But as it was, attempting to warp through the water currents would shred him instantly.

'45 seconds.'

Carius thought grimly. The golden dome had a time limit. After exactly one minute, it would vanish, and the water would dissipate. He just had to hold out until then.

The power of Atticus's domain surged back to him, the water that filled the dome coiling, rippling, and bending to his will.

As it fused with him, Atticus's form began to transform.
