Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1263

Chapter 1263: Slain

He hadn’t remained still as she spoke, that would’ve been stupid. He had already pulled his blade from her chest, katana flashing as he cut her down into pieces.

However, despite that... Lyress’s words still reached his ears.

"I will never let you go!"

As the last word dropped, a feeling of dread slammed onto him.

Atticus could barely react as the pieces of Lyress’s body suddenly imploded.

A blinding flash of light ignited, and a force exploded outward, slamming into Atticus and sending him hurtling back at insane speed. The explosion tore a rip through the raging storm, sending a thunderous wave through the cavern. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Far away, the champions of Eldoralth felt the ground beneath them tremble with terrifying intensity.

The sound reached them first, a piercing echo that seemed to rupture their eardrums.

Then came the shockwave.

It slammed into them like a heavy blizzard, roaring through their bodies.

Their eyes shifted again to the distance, where they had last sensed Atticus’s aura.

Just what the hell was happening?

Magnus and Aric shot Zenon a look and nodded. They had both taken care of their opponents.

They turned to look at Ozeroth, who, much to their disbelief, was still having the time of his life.

The woman he’d been fighting now had her hands bound and was currently getting spanked by Ozeroth. With the large grin on his face, neither of them saw any chance of him stopping.

Zenon understood the look and quickly nodded.

"I’ll stay with him."

Magnus and Aric wasted no time and surged toward the location.

Meanwhile, Atticus’s feet skidded across the air as he regained his momentum. He turned his gaze toward the source of the explosion and frowned.

’She blew herself up?’

Atticus couldn’t understand why she had done that. The explosion had torn a hole through his storm. He focused and released it, allowing the mushroom cloud to fill his vision.

’Was it pride?’ he wondered. It could be that Lyress couldn’t bear the thought of being killed by a child and decided to take her own life instead. It sounded stupid to Atticus, but he had seen stupid things in his life.

Because to him, it didn’t make any sense.

Even if Lyress blew herself up, the remnants of her will were still there, right at the center of the explosion. She wouldn’t be able to escape her world falling into his hands. It was a fact she should have been well aware of, which was what confused Atticus the most.

Still, he cleared his thoughts and focused on the explosion.

There would be time to reflect later.

Atticus waved his hand and released a gust of air powerful enough to blast away the haze that covered the entire area. He blurred and vanished, appearing where Lyress had died. Her body was nowhere to be found. There was only nothingness there, well, not nothingness. At least not to Atticus.

His eyes focused on the remnants of Lyress’s will spread around, and he narrowed his gaze, scrutinizing it thoroughly. He tried to see if she had laid any traps.

’Or her will is the trap itself,’ he pondered.

After a few moments of not finding anything, he decided to get it over with. His will spread out and absorbed it all. A moment later, he was done.

’I can’t feel anything wrong with it. It’s the same feeling as the last times.’

He had been suspecting that Lyress might have had some sort of plan. Her words, I will never leave you, still sent a strange shudder through him. Like he had just been marked by a ghost that would haunt him for life. But even so, he couldn’t feel anything different from when he absorbed Dronvet and the Empress’s will.
