Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1622

Chapter 1622: Echoes

One moment Atticus stood across the clearing, and in the next, he appeared before the startled butler, his katana thrusting forward with such force that the air tore apart in its wake.

Clash!

An invisible force suddenly parried his thrust to the side. Atticus twisted with the deflection, then immediately lunged back to create distance.

Ozeroth, who had experienced the same interference with his twin hammers, now stood cautiously beside him.

’Bond.’

’I know.’

Atticus fixed his narrowed gaze on the butler.

’He didn’t move.’

"He attacked without warning!"

"How did he move that fast!?"

At Atticus and Ozeroth’s sudden assault, the gods and champions gathered along the edge of the clearing immediately stiffened, staring at them in shock.

"Ah... I thought you were at least somewhat civilized. To attack so suddenly..."

The butler’s earlier surprise faded, replaced by a faint, composed smile.

"You...! How dare you!"

Unlike the butler’s calm composure, the chubby prince pointed at them with a furious expression. His limbs were trembling, clearly shaken from the sudden attack.

"Prince."

"I will teach you a lesso—"

"Prince."

"Y-yes."

The prince froze instantly as the butler placed a firm hand on his shoulder. His fury dissolved into an obedient expression.

"You’re raising your voice. A prince should never conduct himself in such an unsightly manner."

"...I understand."

"Mhm."

Giving a satisfied nod, the butler returned his attention to Atticus.

"I’ll ask you once more, Atticus Ravenstein... are you certain you wish to continue this? You already carry more enemies than most could survive. We are not among those you should provoke lightly."

The butler calmly raised his arms, and the other four butlers behind him stepped forward in perfect unison.

"Hm, this looks interesting. Don’t leave us out of it."

Whisker excitedly spoke. Atticus sensed as he, Ozerra and the siblings quietly moved into position beside them, cautiously staring at them.

Their numbers now matched those of the Queen’s Guard, but with the cold looks coming from the surrounding gods and champions around them, it was clear they were heavily outnumbered.

’Was that his aspect?’

Even so, Atticus’ attention remained fixed on their earlier exchange, rather than the other gods and champions who were beneath his concern.

An unseen force had deflected his and Ozeroth’s surprise attack, and he was still unable to discern its origin.

"..."

At Atticus’ continued silence, the butler released a quiet sigh, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Hah... how unfortunate. After watching you during the ascension games... I had begun to admire you, somewhat."

"...!"

Atticus threw himself aside without hesitation, a violent gust whipping past his hair where he had stood moments before.

The others beside him reacted immediately, retreating with caution as they created distance.

"Oh? You avoided that?"

The butler seemed genuinely surprised that Atticus had avoided the attack.

’Another invisible attack.’
