Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 760

760 Five

They both moved at unreal speeds.

Every hovering platform they landed on crumbled under the force of their movements, the arena quaking with each impact as they darted from one ruined platform to the next, leaving devastation in their wake.

However, Atticus soon felt it. He was getting overwhelmed. This was for one reason: Carius had abandoned all forms of defense.

His attacks became relentless, striking from every angle with a vicious intensity. No matter how fast Atticus moved or how accurately his blade cut through the air, each strike simply phased through Carius's body, as if he were a ghost.

The pain came next. Carius's strikes rained down upon Atticus, tearing into his flesh, but his exosuit reacted instantly, siphoning mana from the air and healing his wounds at breakneck speed.

It fueled him, keeping him on his feet and moving, but it wasn't enough. The overwhelming force of Carius's attacks was building, and his relentless aggression was pushing Atticus to the very edge. He couldn't continue like this.

'Dimensional phasing,' His mind moved back to Magnus's training.

Lightning.

Lightning could disrupt dimensional phasing by interfering with the flow of energy that allowed Carius to slip between dimensions.

Electrifying the air would cause the charged particles to interfere with the dimensional fields, preventing Carius from phasing in and out.

He would need to direct the charge exactly where it needed to be, targeting the dimensional energy with pinpoint accuracy.

But this required precise control over the lightning element— control that Atticus had mastered.

Atticus's focus suddenly sharpened. Lightning crackled around his body, tendrils of white hot electricity snaking across his skin as his eyes ignited with an intense white. The air crackled and instantly became charged with lightning, the entire space humming with energy.

With a sudden burst of speed, Atticus utilized lightning mimicry. His body blurred, moving faster than thought.

Carius's next attack swiped through empty air as Atticus evaded, a streak of lightning flashing to the side.

15:23

In that moment, Atticus closed the distance, his katana drawn back.

Carius's eyes widened in shock, his body attempting to move, but he was too slow. His gaze locked on Atticus as he tried to retreat, but it was too late.

The blade gleamed in the charged air as Atticus swung with blinding speed, slicing diagonally from Carius's chest down to his stomach. The sound of the strike echoed like thunder.

A spray of blood erupted into the air, crimson droplets scattering across the battlefield.

It felt like the entire human domain had been hit by a shockwave. Every single living human erupted in a roar that shook the air. People shouted, children screamed, and the sound of collective jubilation resounded like a wave of thunder.

They had seen it. Atticus had landed an attack. He had actually landed an attack!

Avalon shot up from his seat, his free hand clenching hard as his brightened eyes stayed glued to the screen.

"That's my boy!" he bellowed.

In the Ravenstein estate, the energy was electric. Fists clenched hard, and shouts rang out:

"Get him!"

"Yeah!!! Finish him!"
