Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766 A Roar

Atticus moved like a current through the water, his body merging seamlessly with the intense flow. Every movement was fluid, each shift almost invisible as he glided effortlessly.

He was everywhere and nowhere at once, untraceable.

Carius's eyes sharpened, his instincts screaming at him. An intense wave of danger gripped him, and without hesitation, he focused his power, teleporting out of his position and reappearing in the distance.

In the next moment, a sword abruptly sliced down, cutting through the space where he had stood just a second before, the intense water splitting from the force of the blow.

But his alternate self wasn't as fortunate.

The alternate Carius sensed the danger a second too late. He glanced up and quickly raised his arm, compressing space around him in an attempt to block the attack.

But it was futile.

Atticus's blade phased through the barrier as if it didn't exist. The sword cleaved through the alternate Carius from head to toe, splitting him in a swift, clean cut.

Blackish blood spilled into the surrounding water, staining it as the two halves of his body floated apart. It lasted only a moment, as the space around the body crumbled, and the intense current tore it to shreds.

Carius's eyes widened, and for the first time, an intense shock filled his face.

He and his alternate self possessed about the same power levels, yet Atticus's attack had phased through his defenses as though they didn't exist.

The air around Carius crackled as the space reacted violently. Due to the water pressure, he had sustained slight injuries when he teleported, leaving many small cuts across his form, but he paid them no heed. He had more pressing matters at hand.

'39 seconds,'

That thought echoed in Carius's head as Atticus reappeared, the water swirling around him like an extension of his body. His eyes remained fixed on Carius, the killing intent only growing stronger.

He unleashed another swift slash, the water parting due to its intense force.

Carius reacted instantly, teleporting away just as the blade passed through his previous position. He had no intention of repeating his alternate self's mistake.

But Atticus was relentless.

Slashes upon slashes followed, and water gales tore through the space, attacking from every angle.

Carius narrowly dodged each one, his form blurring as he teleported again and again. But with each move, the injuries around his body multiplied—small, sharp, and deep wounds inflicted by the water pressure and Atticus's strikes.

The water was everywhere, and so, Atticus was everywhere. Below, above, right, left—attacks rained down from all directions, each one threatening to tear Carius apart.

Suddenly, the water pressure around him thickened, and a swift slash appeared at his side.

'He's getting faster,' Carius realized. It was too late to teleport. Carius's eyes blazed, and he strained his muscles, his will unfurling as he expanded the space around him just enough to maneuver.

His grip tightened on his sword as he moved it in a blur to parry the attack. Katana and sword collided, an intense shockwave parting the water around them.

The force was too overwhelming.
