Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Red Sun

"If he willingly signs a mana contract," Atticus's cold declaration resounded through the hall, and in the next instant, the scene suddenly became eerily quiet.

It was as though those present were trying their hardest to comprehend the implications of his words. None of them expected those words.

A mana contract.

The same contract that binds the contracted for life and would instantly end the life of said individual if he/she breaks the words written in it?

That same contract!?

Gerald's processing speed seemed slow as he tried to process what Atticus had just said. But in the next instant, as soon as he came to this realization, Gerald's eyes blazed as the golden light encompassing his form flared, an intense wave of heat sweeping across the area.

Gerald's voice once again boomed, "Never!" as he took a step closer to Atticus. "You would turn my brother into a slave!?" He seethed as he inched closer to Atticus.

"He's one of the important heirs of the Stellaris family! Do you want to start a war!?" Gerald screamed, his voice laced with absolute fury.

Despite the fact that Gerald was from the Stellaris family, he had always been a completely chilled guy.

In fact, if not for Atticus's shocking actions, Sonorous would have focused his shock on Gerald's current behavior. It was completely unlike the Gerald he knew.

Hearing Gerald's words, Atticus couldn't help but raise an eyebrow in slight shock.

Atticus had never been one to speak much, especially when he was speaking to someone who was clearly stupid, but Gerald's stupidity had piqued his interest.

"There is currently an ongoing war, a war so intense that our entire planet is being threatened. And you think that two hegemons of humanity would go to war because of a bunch of 15-year-olds fighting? Are you really that dumb, or is this the height of the Stellaris family's stupidity?"

Gerald's form froze, "What…" he muttered, completely speechless.

Even Sonorous's eyes widened slightly, the both of them not believing their ears. It would have been completely understandable due to the current situation that Atticus had insulted him personally, but did he really just insult the whole Stellaris family?

The anger that blazed within Gerald was so intense that he unknowingly went supernova as a wave of scorching energy was shot outwards in every direction.

The air around Atticus and Sonorous seemed to distort, the scorching wave phasing through them, leaving them completely unharmed.

Atticus had been a really good distance away from him, enabling the wave that reached him negligible as the attacker didn't even try.

Sonorous turned to look at Gerald with narrowed eyes, 'He's lost it,' he thought with a small sigh.

'I guess there's no going back now, let's see how strong he really is,' Sonorous turned his gaze back at Atticus as he scrutinized him from head to toe.

After the intense battle back at the academy entrance test, Atticus and Kael had been seen as the most talented in their generation, and this title extended to even the third years.

Amongst the third years, there was no one among them who entered the academy while they were at the Advanced+ rank.

Despite the fact that each of the heirs of the tier one families that attended the academy had more or less transcendent talents, not all of them were equal. Some were still more talented than the others.

"Red sun."

Instantaneously, the blinding golden light emanating from the gem embedded in Gerald's head started to change color.

The golden radiance transformed into a crimson glow in the next instant.

A crimson-like aura snaked its way from the gem, spreading across Gerald's form as the initial golden aura turned crimson.

The air became heavy, and the temperature in the hallway tripled in an instant.

The aura surrounding Gerald was so hot that the ground began to melt, turning into a pool of lava beneath his feet.

'So, this is the Stellaris secret art,' Sonorous thought as he gazed at Gerald's current form.

He had immediately created distance between them, also manipulating the sound waves to encompass his form like an impenetrable barrier.

But despite this, he could still feel how hot it was. This was the first time he was seeing Gerald use this power.

It was an ability only available to the main line of the Stellaris family, one that Seraphin clearly wasn't strong enough to learn yet.But Gerald had no such restrictions.

Gerald took a step towards Atticus.
