Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1735

Chapter 1735: Trash

"Still Blade."

For the first time in the battle, genuine alarm flashed across the Nature King’s face. He immediately threw himself aside.

An invisible blade cut through his Will and severed his arm instantly.

"What?"

He turned in shock, only to find Atticus already before him, blade descending toward his chest.

His eyes widened. Nature Will condensed instinctively around him, but the Life Weapon tore through it and carved down through his shoulder toward his heart.

The Nature King’s expression twisted with rage.

Boom!

An overwhelming surge of Nature Will erupted outward, engulfing them both. Then his hand shot forward, gripping Atticus’ wrist with crushing force and bringing the strike to a halt.

"You... stupid trash..." His voice trembled with fury. "Don’t mistake a lucky strike for equality."

The Nature King appeared pitiful. His body was nearly severed in two, bluish blood pouring from the wound, yet the air of superiority around him hadn’t diminished. If anything, it had become even heavier.

The coldness radiating from him seemed capable of freezing worlds.

Atticus’ expression tightened. At this distance, the potency of Nature Will was at its peak, and the Nature King’s grip only worsened the situation. Nature Will was seeping into him, flowers bloomed endlessly across his own Will. At this pace, he would soon run dry. And when that happened, Life Weapon or not, it would be over.

"It’s unfortunate..." The Nature King’s voice gradually steadied. "That something like you managed to push me this far. Something that still doesn’t understand when it stands before its betters."

A cruel smile slowly spread across his face.

"I’ll make sure your death is slow and very pai—"

Crack!

The Nature King’s head snapped to the side.

Suddenly, Whisker was there, a fiendish grin stretched across his face. His hair danced wildly around him, shifting colors alongside his eyes as though neither could tolerate remaining the same for more than an instant.

How...

The thought struck the Nature King like lightning. With Nature Will this dense... how had he crossed the distance?

The Nature King’s expression twisted.

"Not you too!"

His Will lashed toward Whisker, threatening to swallow him whole.

"Manifest: True Freedom."

The Nature Will recoiled backward as though it had touched something it could not bind.

"Impossible!"

For the first time, genuine disbelief appeared on the Nature King’s face. Then, as claws extended from Whisker’s fingers, his teeth clenched tightly.

"A fool... and a defective..." His teeth clenched tightly. "Impossible..."

"There it is..."

As Whisker’s claws dug into the Nature King’s neck, his grin widened into something feral as he said;

"That face... I love it."

"You—!"

Slash!

Blood splattered across the skies as the Nature King’s severed head spun upward.

For a moment, there was utter silence. Then, the world trembled. A violent vortex formed around the Nature King, swallowing both his body and head whole.

Atticus grabbed Whisker and shot backward.

The vortex rapidly expanded, its pull growing stronger with every passing moment. Trees. Beasts. Vines. Will... everything was dragged toward it.

Atticus had to exert tremendous effort just to keep himself and Whisker from being swept away. Moments later, once the forest itself had vanished into the vortex, it simply disappeared.

Atticus blinked and stared at the empty landscape.

"It’s... over?"

"Haha..."

Whisker laughed as he collapsed onto the ground, breathing heavily.

"It seems so, my star actor."

A broad smile stretched across his face. For once, there was nothing strange about it, he simply looked happy.

"So what was that vortex? It seemed a bit random."

"If I had to guess..." Whisker shrugged lazily. "The world’s taking out the trash. Try feeling for Nature Will."
