Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1690

Chapter 1690: Flickered

As the pounding continued, the door to the room suddenly opened.

A golden-haired man with a stoic face and a dangerous air stepped in and calmly approached Elomont.

There wasn’t the slightest hint of embarrassment on his face despite the scene before him. He was clearly accustomed to it.

"There’s a problem."

"Hm, what is it?"

Elomont didn’t slow, not even sparing him a glance.

"...the high lord you wanted to teach a lesson... he survived."

Elomont’s movements halted. He turned toward his ward, Kass, his gaze narrowing.

"...how’s that possible?"

"He managed to summon a hunter before the reverents could finish them. The hunter wiped them out."

A chill flickered through Elomont’s gaze.

"...do you hear yourself right now?"

The reverent Alpha they had used was at initial level two, with the horde at peak level one. For a newly summoned hunter to defeat such a force was ridiculous.

But Kass’ expression didn’t shift in the slightest.

"It’s what happened. I confirmed it myself."

Elomont’s gaze tightened. He shoved the woman aside without care, not sparing her a glance as she crashed roughly onto the ground.

"Honey!"

Osana rushed forward to help his wife up, but Elomont had already lost interest.

"What do we know about this hunter?"

"...nothing conclusive. Everything was observed from a distance."

Elomont fell silent. That useless high lord had dared to refuse his offer to marry his daughter.

He had intended to teach him, along with the other high lords in the area, the consequences of defying a trueblood, but he hadn’t expected things to unfold like this.

Elomont was certain the lesson had already been driven into the high lords’ mind. After all, he had been taking one of their wives moments ago. Leaving the matter here wouldn’t damage his status in the slightest. But...

’I’m curious.’

That hunter... for some reason, he wanted to see who it was.

He turned to Kass.

"Where are they now?"

"They left the stronghold. Heading west." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Perfect. That’s on our way home."

Elomont smiled faintly, nodding as he dressed.

"Let’s go. We’re going after them."

"...yes."

...

During the journey, Atticus used the opportunity to learn more about the first crown from Gladious.

From everything the man said, it turned out that the first crown was a kind of apocalyptic world, basically ruled by beasts known as Reverents.

Almost the entire domain had been ravaged by them. Their ability to wield primal will, something capable of standing against crown will, allowed them to challenge the people who ruled the world, leaving everything locked in a perpetual war.

That said, the reverents were currently winning.
