Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Traitor

The mountain where the Raven camp was established was discovered by the third family head of the Ravenstein family. The mountain held great sentimental value for the family.

It had no remarkable features, there were no ancient dragons sealed within, nor were there any overpowered treasures to be found. Even the mana surrounding the mountain was subpar at best; without any external influence.

So, why did the next generation of Ravensteins receive their training there?

The reason was simple: it was where the first Paragon rank of the Ravenstein family had emerged. During that time, the Ravenstein family had etched their name into the history of the human domain as one of its rulers.

Since then, the Ravenstein family had been faithfully maintaining the mountain, considering it an integral part of their heritage.

In the heart of the mountain, the arena where the trainees had their combat challenges every three months was completely empty. The challenges were scheduled for later, around 10 am, so it wasn't surprising that the arena was currently vacant.

The arena had only one entrance, a large double door that all the trainees used to enter. It was currently wide open in anticipation of the trainees.

On the opposite side of the door stood an ordinary-looking wall. The wall appeared exactly like the walls surrounding the arena. Only those with the most discerning eyes would notice something odd about that part of the wall.

The entire wall was covered with runes, including a higher-level illusion rune etched on its surface, making it appear ordinary to the eye.

Inside the wall, in a surprisingly spacious space, three men were in the middle of a card game. Each of them radiated a master rank aura and had the distinct white hair of the Ravenstein family.

Every single wall in this space was adorned with screens, displaying the live stream of every location in the camp. This was the control room where the entire camp was being monitored.

The first individual examined his cards carefully and spoke, "Gentlemen, I think it's time to show you the magic of my lucky deck."

The two remaining individuals raised an eyebrow, and one of them said, "Lucky deck, huh? We'll see about that," with a chuckle.

Despite playing cards, they were all keeping a close eye on every single thing happening in the camp. Multitasking was child's play for people of their strength.

Just as the first individual was about to play his card, he suddenly noticed a figure on one of the screens.

He turned to look and was surprised to see one of the camp's instructors walking purposefully toward their wall.

'What is he doing?' he wondered. The other two also turned to look and had the same question in mind.

They all couldn't help but ask, 'How did we miss him until he got this close?' simultaneously in their heads.

But the men weren't novices at their jobs; they had been working at the camp for years. One of them immediately instructed, "Report this."

They found it odd that an instructor was walking towards their wall. In the camp, apart from Rowan, no one was allowed to enter the control room. The people stationed in the control room had each taken a separate oath different from that of the instructors.

Just as one was about to stand up, the man on the screen suddenly brought out and artifact from his space ring and immediately attempted to infuse mana into it, but his hand suddenly froze in the air, and blood immediately started streaming out of his eyes and ears.

The man smiled; he knew this would happen.
