Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground
chapter-184

As each of the forms of the beast fragmented into uncountable pieces, there was no blood spilled, no body parts dropped on the floor; each of their fragmented forms instantly combusted, transforming into ash that scattered in the air.

More than 700 beasts killed with just a single movement.

And then, as though waiting for that signal, the fireballs suspended in the air all shot at fast speeds towards different directions.

Each found its mark with precision, triggering large explosions that reverberated through the earth.

The result was an instantaneous implosion of hundreds of beasts, blasting them to oblivion.

Immediately, Atticus's figure blurred as he blazed through the swarm of beasts, his whole form like a streak of fire tearing through the horde like a comet, leaving a swarm of ashes in his wake.

In just a single second, more than a thousand beasts met their demise.

"Damn,"

No one knew who uttered that word amongst themselves, but that single word seemed to encapsulate what every youth was feeling as they watched the carnage that was going on below.

"This bastard," Aurora muttered as she released a fiery punch that incinerated the remaining beasts on top of the hill.

Her frustration manifested in her words as she addressed Atticus below.

"Stop trying to act cool!" She yelled while looking at Atticus below. Then she immediately started dashing down the hill.

"Wait for me!" Nate yelled as he also started running down the hill. Nate had already decided to take everything Atticus did at face value. The boy simply wasn't normal. He didn't bother getting surprised at what he just witnessed.

The rest of the Ravenstein youths all also started running down the hill. They all knew Atticus very well.

Now that he was participating in the battle, if they all wasted any time, despite the sheer size of the beast horde, it was still very possible that none of them would see any monsters left to kill.

Atticus ignored Aurora's shout as his figure spun rapidly in the air, becoming an infernal blur.

Each spin releasing multiple waves of fire that cleaved through the encroaching beast horde like a scythe through wheat.

His whole form was completely covered in crimson flames, every movement sending a storm of fire that cut through the ranks of the beasts with lethal brutality.

His figure was moving so fast that he moved 100 meters in each second, his figure streaking through the terrain around the earthen platform mutilating the beasts at a frightening rate.

Looking from above, one would see the crimson streak cutting through the ranks of a black horde moving at fast speed around the platform.

Atticus's kill rate was so fast that no beast was able to get closer to the earthen platform anymore despite their overwhelming numbers.

After a few seconds, the rest of the Ravenstein youths also reached the bottom of the hill. All of them seeing the completely charred landscape.

Not wanting to be left behind, they all rushed to attack, joining in on the killing spree.

The rest of the youths who had all remained on the platform all watched as the Ravenstein youth went on a rampage.

Every single shred of reluctance or even the stupid plans to rebel that some of them had made were completely extinguished.

All of them watching were sure, it was an instinctual feeling, that if Atticus had wanted, he could single-handedly kill every single one of them instantly and none of them would even be able to put on even a shred of a fight.

And what's worse, even without Atticus, each of the Ravenstein youths were all monsters in their own right. They would have to be truly brainless to ever think of disobeying this family of monsters.

The relentless slaughter continued for over an hour, many of the Ravenstein youth already feeling the strain from utilizing a lot of their power for such a long time.

Then, a sudden loud and resounding howl pierced through the atmosphere, reaching the ears of everyone present.

And as though it had been programmed into their very beings, every single one of the beasts suddenly froze, and without hesitation, they all turned back and started running away from the earthen platform towards the directions of the forest.

Seeing this, most of the Ravenstein youths let out a sigh of relief and dropped to the floor, their chests rising and falling as exhaustion settled in.

Atticus stood in the middle of devastation. His form a blazing inferno standing in the middle of charred grounds that stretched for hundreds of meters.

But despite the sheer number of beasts Atticus had killed, there was not a single corpse in the area. Just the ashes of their remains.

Atticus gazed coldly at the retreating forms of the beasts who were all heading towards the forest, his mind churning.

'What was that?' Atticus pondered.

He could feel the power in the loud howl that just sounded from the forest.

It was very obvious, something powerful was inside the forest. So powerful that even he wasn't sure that he'd be able to handle it.

'It seems like they were all just minions,' he deduced.

From what he had seen, it was clear that the monsters were all being controlled by that powerful entity inside the forest.

'Just where did this people send us to,' he thought.

Atticus truly needed answers. They were all sent to this expanse without any explanation except for "consult your artifact," and suddenly had to survive a horde of beasts.

And now, he just discovered that there was an overwhelmingly powerful entity in the forest who had apparently been controlling the beast horde that attacked them.

All this happening on the first day!

Just what kind of academy was this?

But before Atticus could continue this line of thought, "Atticus!" A feminine yell resounded from behind.

Atticus turned to see a blazing form of Aurora cutting through the air at a fast speed, heading directly towards him.
