Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 770

Chapter 770 Hurled

Atticus's eyes snapped open, his aura calm.

His right hand gripped his katana tightly as his piercing blue eyes scanned his surroundings.

He found himself standing at the edge of… nowhere.

'This is the next arena.' Atticus thought.

The land was barren, with jagged cracks running through the parched earth. There were no obstacles— no mountains, no hills, no hovering platforms. The entire area was completely flat, and the skies were clear.

As always, Atticus performed a brief inspection of himself.

'Nothing is missing.'

His mana was stable and unrestricted. All his elements were intact, and the same went for his flags. Atticus was already clad in his exo suit, his guard raised.

'The superior race apexes are dangerous.'

After his fight with Carius, Atticus had quickly come to this conclusion. He had won due to certain favorable circumstances, but the same might not apply with others.

If he hadn't been certain before, he was now. Only the superior race apexes remained in the competition. Which meant this battle was sure to be intense.

Just as Atticus was about to move, he paused as a holographic screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

Its words were shocking.

"Welcome to the Final Round, Atticus Ravenstein."

'Final?'

Atticus was baffled. 'This should have been the semi-final. Did both pairs draw?'

If his assumption was correct, it changed everything significantly.

It meant that this was the final battle— the battle that would determine the true apex of this Verietega Nexus.

It was a battle sure to be bloody.

'I wonder who it will be.'

There was something about finals that made people try harder than ever to win. The effort one put into a semi final couldn't compare to a final. To most, this was the last obstacle before victory, and they would do everything in their power to overcome it.

It was this effort that Atticus was already anticipating.

He exhaled deeply, squinting his eyes as he stared into the distance. There, he saw a figure standing in the middle of the arena.

'It just had to be him.'

Atticus took in a deep breath before shooting forward with incredible speed. His movements were utterly silent, his steps making no sound as he reached the middle in seconds.

Atticus stood exactly 101 meters away from the figure, observing him silently.

Of every single race that Magnus had taught him about, there was one Atticus had dreaded to face. One he hoped he wouldn't have to battle— a bad matchup for him.

And for the final of the Verietega Nexus, he was battling their apex.

The universe had to despise him, right? That had to be the only explanation.
