Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 769

Chapter 769 Final

The anger in the air kept building.

Even as the golden dome vanished, causing the sea of water to fall into the pit below, the anger continued to rise. Carius had escaped.

The reality of those words felt heavy—so heavy that Atticus didn't want to accept it. It felt like an enormous burden. It took some time for the truth to settle deep within Atticus. And as soon as it did, the anger simmered down significantly. Atticus's gaze remained as cold as ice, but his mind had already started working. And when he thought about the entire situation, a cold fact brewed within him.

He just had to kill him another time.

From his brief interaction with Carius, Atticus had already raised his name to the top of his list of kill targets. He hated when someone threatened his family; he hated it to the core. But that wasn't even the most dangerous aspect of Carius.

'He's a planner.'

Carius was smart, patient, and calm. Atticus had felt intense anger emanating from him multiple times during the battle, and yet, Carius hadn't acted on impulse. He had maintained his composure and chose planned action instead.

To Atticus, he was the most dangerous type of enemy to have—one who kept his word. Now that Atticus had defeated him, showing how dangerous he could be, Carius would likely try his best to crush him.

'There's nothing I can do for now. I'll deal with him as soon as I can.'

Atticus's guard was raised to its peak. He had no idea what Carius would plan next, and that fact worried him.

He decided to stop dwelling on it and focus on recovering his strength instead.

'I should still have about two battles left.'

The second round was 4 vs. 4, which should leave only 4 apexes remaining. Atticus couldn't help but wonder who was left and how strong his next opponent would be.

He quickly deactivated his domain fusion, his body reverting to its normal state. He could feel a wave of fatigue hitting both his mind and body.

Even though he had been able to mitigate some effects, it was still a significant strain on him.

He found one of the remaining hovering platforms in the arena and sat down cross-legged, instantly beginning to meditate. 'I should focus on my will.'

He had used his will significantly during the battle and when he utilized his water domain fusion.

If his will stat were like a consumable resource, Atticus had about 26 points left. It was incredibly low, and if he entered the next battle like this, he wouldn't be able to use his domain fusion again.

MWhen my exo suit recovers, it will help with my mana and fatigue.'

His mana was low, and he was feeling intense fatigue. But recovering his will required his utmost concentration, and he chose to prioritize that.

Atticus quickly formulated a plan in his head and entered a deep state of meditation.

Contrary to what the people outside were expecting, Atticus had no intention of entering his next battle unless he had recovered his strength to an acceptable level.
