Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 627

Chapter 627 Dark

BAM!

The walls of the pit crumbled as Atticus slammed against them with force.

He staggered to his feet, every muscle screaming in pain as rubble crumbled from the wall he had been embedded in.

'So fast,'

Despite ramping up his perception to full throttle, Niall had punched him before he could even react.

Niall's eyes burned with an intense red, his fist already cocked back for another bone-crushing strike.

The next punch came, fast and deadly. Atticus barely managed to twist away, the force of Niall's blow shattering the wall where his head had been, jadded cracks snaking upwards.

'Fuck! He's really trying to kill me!'

Dust and debris filled the air as Atticus rolled to the side, manipulating the air molecules around him to speed his movement. He then retaliated with a blast of wind, whipping up a cyclone around Niall.

Niall planted his feet, unmoving, but Atticus wasn't done. He thrust his hands forward, and the cyclone transformed into a vortex of fire. The flames roared to life, swirling around Niall in a blinding spiral of heat.

The entire pit was bathed in an orange light, the flames threatening to reach the surface.

Niall growled, his aura flaring, and with a single, earth-shaking punch, he dispersed the firestorm.

Atticus had already anticipated this and was already moving, his hands flicking through a series of elemental shifts as he ran across the pit.

A torrent of water surged from the ground, slamming into Niall's side. It wasn't enough to push him back, but it gave Atticus a moment to gather more power.

His focus shifted to the ice element, freezing the water solid into jagged spikes that encased Niall's arm, locking him in place.

Niall sneered, flexing his arm to shatter the ice. Before he could break free, Atticus summoned lightning, crackling and alive, dancing around his whole body.

It coalesced in front of his palm, swirling with uncontained power before shooting toward Niall, the bolt streaking through the air like a predator.

The lightning struck, the electricity crackling all over Niall's form. But he merely grimaced, absorbing the impact with a snarl, and tore through the ice binding him.

Atticus wasn't finished. He slammed his hands into the ground, focus shifting to the earth molecules. The floor beneath Niall erupted, jagged rocks and sharp spikes shooting upward, aiming to pierce and trap him.

However, Niall simply stomped down with enough force to shatter the rising spikes and send an intense shockwave outward.

But Atticus was ready, shifting the ground beneath Niall's feet into quicksand, trying to drag him down.

Niall sank for a moment, but a palpable red aura suddenly surrounded him. He started to rise from the sinking earth, standing on its surface.

'Fuck,'

Atticus was utilizing all his elements to attack, but it hardly had any effect on Niall.

'It's that armor. What's it made of?'

Atticus's elements were already at the master+ rank in both potency and mastery. Niall might be a grandmaster, but he was taking his attacks head-on; it should at the very least leave some damage!

'I can't stop,'

Despite the insane firepower of each of the light beams continually hitting him, that was all they could do. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}

However, Niall simply walked undeterred, his body brimming with power.

With a narrowing of his eyes, Atticus unleashed his attack, a maelstrom of elements crashing down on Niall. Fire seared, lightning struck, water surged, ice encased, earth shattered, wind roared, and light and darkness clashed in a brilliant explosion of power.

The collision was cataclysmic, the sheer force of the elements crashing down on Niall sent shockwaves through the arena, shattering walls and cracking the ground.

An intense smoke covered the pit, and Atticus had trouble seeing the result of his attack.

But soon enough, the dust settled, revealing the figure of Niall walking forward with a measured gait.

Atticus's gaze trembled. 'Only a few scratches,' he thought.

That was the highest firepower he could achieve with his elements, and yet, it only made a few bloody scratches appear on Niall's body.

'Was the distance between a master+ rank and grandmaster- this high?'

Niall suddenly laughed out loud, an action that belied his otherwise calm demeanor thus far.

"Are you done struggling!? I'll make you pay for the disrespect you showed our sovereign!"

Niall blurred, the ground on which he previously stood buckling.

Atticus barely had time to react before Niall's punch connected, a devastating blow that sent him crashing into the earth, the ground shattering beneath him.

Then, everything went dark.
