Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 957

The guard felt his blood freeze, his body trembling as his temperature began to drop. His voice faltered.

"T-They didn’t offer any response, Eternal Blood Que—"

Jezeneth’s aura exploded.

A shockwave of such intensity hurled the guard backward at supersonic speed, sending him crashing through the massive doors.

The force of the blast pushed back the elders, their gazes trembling as they fixed their eyes on the oppressive red energy radiating from their queen.

Jezeneth was angry.

She was seething.

"They fucking dared!"

Her aura erupted once more, forcing the elders even farther away, making cracks appear all over the hall’s walls.

She had been restricted from directly attacking the human domain. However, the Eternal Sovereignty of the Vampyros had sent demands to the humans, and they hadn’t even attempted to offer a response!?

A lower fucking race!

The humiliation.

"Malrikh!"

"My queen."

One of the grand elders, a slender man whose youthful appearance betrayed his ancient age, bowed toward Jezeneth.

"Do it."

"As you wish."

His figure blurred, disappearing from the hall.

…

Time passed in a blur.

Exactly a day after the Vampyros had sent their demands, the humans had refused to offer any response.

As the smartest mind in the human domain, Oberon had naturally been entrusted with handling the entire situation. However, the other paragons had been on standby, prepared for whatever might arise.

Regardless, the choice of accepting or rejecting the Vampyros’ demands had been entirely up to Atticus.

It was obvious that the Vampyros were after him.

And after receiving the expected response from Atticus, Oberon had chosen not to offer any response instead of outright refusing.

He had done this for two reasons.

First, it would buy them more time to prepare for the Vampyros rather than shorten it by provoking them with a direct response.

Second, the demands the Vampyros had made had pissed even him off. However, he was too logical to be controlled by feelings.

He too had already reached the conclusion that the Vampyros couldn’t attack the human domain directly, and so he had chosen to kill two birds with one stone, pissing them off while making humanity’s stance clear.

Although Vexarius had been angry about their situation, he had still followed orders and joined Luminous in guarding the border.

They were two hot-blooded individuals. However, even they weren’t stupid enough to butt heads in the middle of a crisis.

At least, Oberon hoped.

Vexarius and Luminous guarded the border.

The rest of the human paragons prepared and waited in their respective territories.

The Apex of Humanity trained like never before in his new advanced training room.

They all waited.

Waited to see how the Vampyros would respond.

And then—

The Vampyros acted.

It wasn’t just one move.

They made multiple moves.

Atticus, Lyanna, and Oberon had been right in their assumptions. The Vampyros couldn’t attack the human domain directly, so they took an indirect route. Continue reading at freewebnovel
