Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 340

Chapter 340 Skip A Beat

An army of youths stood on top of a large and imposing wall situated at the top edge of a mountain.

The wall was equipped with a lot of heavy armored artillery, each one already being manned by multiple youths who gazed down below the mountain, completely alert and ready to respond to any threat that might occur.

The path to the mountain was filled with dangerous terrain, obstacles, and large beasts, each one more dangerous than the last.

The youths were arranged in orderly ranks, spread out horizontally behind the figures of ten individuals who stood out distinctly from the rest.

With ash-colored hair and glowing orange pupils, dressed impeccably, these were members of the Wildborne family, a tier two lineage under the ruling Frostvale family of Sector 8.

The nine youths were also lined up respectively behind the form of a young boy who gazed down the treacherous mountain, his orange eyes letting out an intense glow.

As the seconds ticked by, the youth suddenly raised his right arm and instantaneously the form of a large eagle-like beast burst out of the clouds above them, swooping down and landing gently on the youth's hand.

The youth's expression didn't change as the beast purred and rubbed its beak on his skin affectionately.

After a few seconds, the beast suddenly stood up straight and locked eyes with the youth, its pupil mirroring that of the youth's with an orange glow.

The orange glow in both the youth's and the beast's eyes grew in intensity as their gazes locked, forming an intricate connection between them. And in the next instant, a myriad of memories was replayed in the youth's head.

The Wildborne family had a bloodline that was related to beasts. But unlike the Frostvale family who could shapeshift, the Wildborne?family had the power to bond and control multiple beasts.

This, of course, had a lot of restrictions. Also, unlike the primitive lifestyle of the Frostvale family, the Wildborne?family all wore the clothes of the current times, each of them dressed impeccably in different-colored attire.

A few seconds passed, and one of the nine students standing behind the youth approached with a bow and asked carefully, "Young Master Eeus, what are your orders?"

The orange glow in Eeus's gaze dimmed, and simultaneously the large eagle beast shrunk down until it got to a petite size. As swift as lightning, it shot into the clothes of Eeus.

Eeus sighed slightly, not removing his gaze away from his front. "Zattus wasn't able to get far,"

The student showed a slight shocked expression as he heard this. He knew how strong that beast was.

'Just how dangerous is the forest?' He thought in apprehension, and in the next instance, he couldn't help but be inwardly relieved that they were the defending party, not the attacking who had to cross the forest.

The youth turned back to Eeus and inquired, "Young Master, don't you think we should activate more defensive features just to be safe?"

Eeus thought about it for a second before eventually shaking his head in disagreement.

"There's no need. Any army marching through this forest would undoubtedly have their numbers whittled down drastically. Our current artillery should do for now,"

Eeus turned his gaze towards the closest artillery by his right and gazed at its majestic form.
