Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Escape(2)

On the earthen platform, Atticus's cold voice sounded, "If you want him to lead you, here's your chance." Atticus truly had no patience for nonsense.

He was straining himself trying to get everyone to safety, and there they were, arguing about something extremely useless. What was even more annoying was the noise they were all making while they were trying to escape with their lives!

Every single one of the trainees became eerily quiet. It was as if something horrible would happen if they made a sound. None of them wanted to get off this platform. They knew they wouldn't last a second alone. They all kept quiet, completely forgetting about William and the duo.

Jack let out a small chuckle. 'I hope you die,' he thought while gazing back at William, who was already becoming a tiny dot, a cold glint in his eyes.

The earthen platform kept moving.

Atticus was currently moving toward the place he had his last hunt with his Ex squad, the Arachnix caves.

None of the trainees were aware of the exact location of the camp. Although they had each ran to the camp when they first came, the ship had dropped them in the forest, and they had no idea where the forest was.

The worst part was that they couldn't access their storage rings to bring out their communication artifacts and call their parents. They were all stranded.

He felt like the best course of action was to take refuge deep within the Arachnix caves, at least until any help arrived. He could easily take care of any magical beast in the caves despite his poor state, and it would be easy to defend in the cave with his earth element.

Atticus thoughts suddenly shifted to the force that had enveloped the camp back then. It was obvious that it was that force that deactivated every rune in the camp, including their devices.

He was astounded that there was such a thing. If there was an artifact that could essentially cripple a runesmith, why hadn't he heard of it?? 'Damn that old man,' he couldn't help but curse Grimestone under his breath.

He took in a deep breath and cleared his mind of unnecessary thoughts once again, focusing on moving the earthen platform as fast as possible.

Suddenly, he noticed a bright purple light at the corner of his vision. He swiftly turned and saw one of the men he had seen earlier with Hugo in the air, the one with a cloak covering his face.

The dark, gloomy aura surrounding him had intensified. He was currently holding a staff with a skull attached to its top, a swirling purple orb that seemed to be getting bigger floating on top of it.

The man suddenly uttered, his voice hoarse, "Death orb."

The orb was swiftly shot at supersonic speed toward the trainees.

Atticus's heart skipped a beat, he quickly activated his perception to slow down time, enabling him to react. He immediately received an unimaginable pain in his head. Despite the piercing pain, he knew they couldn't outrun the attack.

He acted immediately, placing both his hands on the ground, quickly erecting as many earth pillars as possible, covering every single trainee with the earth. Then he added one last layer of defense just in case the earth didn't hold.
