Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 979

To anyone watching, it seemed as if Atticus had stood still, gazing at the green mountain, calculating his next move.

But that wasn’t reality.

There was no pause. No hesitation. No in-between.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he moved.

It wasn’t speed in the way the world understood it.

It wasn’t a blur. It wasn’t a streak of light.

There was no visual distortion. No sonic boom.

One second, he was standing.

The next, he wasn’t.

The cameras tried to follow.

They were built to track Apex-level combat, designed to capture speeds beyond most human comprehension.

But they couldn’t see him.

One frame, Atticus was at the base of the mountain. The next, he was gone.

And then—

BAM.

A sickening, thunderous impact echoed through the mountain.

The first Dimensari’s head snapped sideways, caving inward, his body launched like a missile through the trees.

Before the others could react—

BAM.

Another was struck, their chest collapsing inward, the force of the impact sending them spiraling through the air.

BAM. BAM. BAM.

The blows landed in rapid succession, the sound like explosions ripping through the mountain.

Each hit was precise. Lethal. Unstoppable.

The Dimensari didn’t even see him.

One moment, they were surrounding Aurora.

The next, they were gone.

Their skulls cracked. Their bodies twisted. Their forms hurtled through the air.

The force should have killed them instantly.

But before death could claim them, a soft light enveloped their mangled bodies—

And in the next instant, they vanished.

Transported.

The crowd erupted.

A deafening roar shook the floating island as the screens flickered, revealing the aftermath—

Atticus standing there, calm, unshaken, while Aurora faced him.

The Dimensari were completely gone.

They hadn’t seen how he moved.

Hadn’t seen how he struck.

But they saw the result.

And that was enough.

"Eat that, you space bastards!"

"Dimensari scum! How does it feel to be wiped out in seconds?!"

"That’s right! Bow before humanity!"

"Atticus! Atticus! Atticus!"

The chant of his name rose to an earth-shattering intensity.

Fists pumped into the air.

Feet stomped against the ground.

The entire human camp trembled beneath the sheer force of their celebration.

Because one thing was certain. No matter the competition. No matter the Apexes. No matter the challenge—

Atticus Ravenstein was here.

And that changed everything.

The cheers didn’t reach them, but even if they did, Atticus wouldn’t care about that.

Neither would Aurora.

Her breathing was ragged, her limbs heavy, her body aching as though she had lifted weights for hours.

She felt pain all over.

Yet, as her fiery red gaze settled on Atticus, everything seemed to disappear.

"Atticus…"

Aurora’s voice was so low that it shouldn’t have been heard by anyone.

But Atticus heard it loud and clear.

Atticus smiled.

"Hmm, I was expecting a more explosive reaction. Have you gone shy on me, Auror—"

Atticus couldn’t finish his sentence before he was suddenly enveloped in a tight hug.

Aurora buried her face into his chest, her arms tightening around him.

Atticus felt it immediately—

The trembling in her shoulders.

The way her fingers clutched at his back as if afraid he’d disappear.

And then—

He felt it.

Wetness.

His attire dampened against his skin as quiet sobs escaped from the girl pressed against him.

She was crying. Read latest chapters at freewebnovel
