Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 773

Chapter 773 Racing

The force of the clashes intensified as their speed increased manifold.

Regardless of the battle's intensity, Atticus's mind worked quickly as he analyzed Karn's whole being.

'He hasn't used any arts,' Atticus noted. Every apex he had fought, just like him, had used their life weapon art during battle.

Sure, Karn had acted and immediately used his domain due to the situation, but it seemed odd.

From his brief interaction with Karn, Atticus didn't take him as the type to hold back.

'He's too direct, too simple. He sees this as a task to be accomplished, nothing else.'

No matter how he thought about it, such a person wouldn't intentionally hold back due to something as trivial as pride. Which only meant one thing:

'He doesn't have any arts.'

The ability to negate mana was already overpowered and likely came with some drawbacks. Arts had always been inherently dependent on mana, and although Karn seemed to control some kind of energy, it was possible that there were no arts to back it up.

Although Magnus had given him a way to fight, Atticus had taken it a step further. Even though Magnus was a paragon, no one could know his own power better than Atticus himself.

He had come up with another way.

The Nullite's power of negation affected mana, but the elemental molecules were different. They were still present in the air, but since they couldn't mix with mana, they were next to useless.

However, what if Atticus could get them to mix with mana within a controlled radius? Even if it was only for a brief moment, he could use his elements!

Atticus believed in this assumption—it seemed logical. However, he remained cautious. Although there were no life weapon arts, it didn't mean that there wasn't something else.

Regardless, one thing was certain: he had to end this battle fast.

Atticus's eyes blazed as his will abruptly exploded, forming a controlled radius that suddenly encompassed both him and Karn.

Karn felt his negation aura getting suppressed by Atticus's will. A frown appeared on his face, but before he could react, Atticus acted.

His mana suddenly surged outward, mixing with the elemental molecules in the air. In an instant, Atticus felt his connection to each of his elements reignite, and he didn't hesitate.

The crowd's reaction was instantaneous; they each gasped in shock as the humans erupted, shouting at the top of their lungs.

But Atticus was already moving. His body streaked forward, a blur of lightning and fire trailing in his wake.

His focus shifted to the earth and space elements, and the air within the confined space suddenly grew dense, gravity multiplying several times over, pressing down on Karn and forcing his form to struggle to stay afloat.

Atticus's speed was unreal, the sheer force of his movement parting the air like a sharp blade. His katana flashed, appearing at Karn's throat in the blink of an eye.

The entire crowd held their breath, the anticipation palpable, each person gripping something tightly.
