Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 818

Chapter 818 Big

In the middle of a peaceful forest, a blinding purple light ignited from the chest of a purple haired girl seated cross-legged in a small clearing.

From it, the petite figure of Lumindra burst forth, soaring high into the air and turning sharply to face a particular direction.

Zoey's eyes snapped open, following Lumindra's gaze into the sky.

"What happened?" she asked instantly, her heart pounding.

Lumindra's gaze was icy, her bloodthirsty aura blanketing the entire forest. It was as though she had spotted her greatest enemy. It was a look Zoey had never seen Lumindra wear before, not since the day they bonded.

But that wasn't what made Zoey's heart race. Her hands were trembling, and though there was nothing visibly threatening in her surroundings, she could feel it. It was Lumi.

Despite the aura of raw aggression Lumindra was exuding, Zoey could sense her true emotions. She was angry, and scared.

It was as though Lumindra hadn't even heard her. Her narrowed eyes remained fixed on the distance, and her aura continued to grow, reaching unimaginable heights.

The ground began to quake, trees swayed violently, and branches rattled under the weight of the energy she was releasing.

The brilliance of the purple light intensified as Lumindra began to transform. Her petite form expanded, shifting into a massive, imposing drake.

"Lumi! What's wrong!?" Zoey's voice rose.

Her mind raced. Was there a threat nearby? What could have triggered this reaction? She couldn't find an answer. And it scared her even more.

Lumindra's massive wings flapped once, creating an intense wind that uprooted nearby trees and sent a wave of dust billowing outward. She looked ready to take off when, suddenly, she froze.

'Shit. I'm in the academy,' Lumindra thought grimly.

The academy's rules were absolute. Until students completed their required three years, none of them were permitted to leave. The aegis shield that enveloped the academy made certain of that. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

'With my current power, I can't break through,' Lumindra realized, her icy gaze darkening as she reverted back to her petite form.

This was one of the strict conditions of bonding with a human. In Eldoralth, spirits were always limited to the abilities of the humans they bonded with.

For most spirits, this was a significant power reduction. It was why spirits were cautious about choosing who to bond with.

Bonding with someone with subpar potential could limit them irreparably, as the bond could not be broken without the death of either the human or the spirit.

Even as Lumindra returned to her normal form, her gaze remained locked on the distant horizon, her thoughts racing. She ignored Zoey's calls, both vocal and telepathic.

'Why is he here?' Lumindra thought gravely. 'This is bad. Incredibly bad. If that man is here, then massive changes are coming that will shape Eldoralth and everyone living in it.'

Minutes passed, and Zoey eventually grew frustrated. She flew up to meet the petite spirit, floating directly in front of her and blocking her line of sight.

"Lumi! What the hell! What's going on?" Zoey's angry voice snapped Lumindra out of her thoughts, forcing her to focus on the girl in front of her.

Lumindra took a deep, heavy breath, the sound carrying a weight that immediately silenced Zoey's frustration.
