Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1448

Chapter 1448: Atticus

"Enough of this!" Both of Neresa’s hands blurred. Mana poured into her body and wrapped around her in a radiant armor of blinding light.

"I’ll kill you all!"

She raised her hand and a beam of pure energy surged towards them.

Lyanna and Sirius moved in sync. Their gazes met in the air, and the world answered. Ice and wind burst forward and met the beam mid flight.

The collision blew the hill apart. Dust and shockwaves tore through the area.

’We failed to buy time.’

Lyanna shot out of the haze, rising high into the air.

They were outnumbered four to two. In a battle of paragons, it was dangerous. Their plan had been to buy time until Nathan arrived, but they’d been forced to fight.

’She’s coming.’

Neresa burst out of the smoke in a streak of light. She thrust her spear with so much force the air itself whipped into a spiral.

Lyanna moved like falling snow. Her dagger tapped the shaft, redirecting it. Before Neresa could react, Lyanna’s kick slammed into her ribs and sent her flying.

"Arise!" Lyanna’s head snapped downward to see a legion of undead staring back at her with lifeless eyes. They shot towards her like missiles.

’Ugly.’

Cold bled from her skin and the sky flashed pale. Frost swallowed the legion in an instant. The corpses froze mid air and fell like shattered statues.

Mae’s eyes constricted. Her legion had been destroyed so easily?

"I’ll kill you!" Neresa roared, tearing back in with more power.

"Who screams right before attacking?"

Neresa’s thrust was about to hit when her body scattered into the snow. A chill gripped Neresa’s spine.

"She’s behind you!" Mae screamed.

Neresa spun, but an icy dagger was already driving for her neck.

"Shit!"

She twisted. The blade scraped across and carved a bloody line, tearing a chunk out of her neck. Blood sprayed.

She fought through the pain and gripped her spear, but froze when she saw the next dagger already surging for her eyes.

Clang!

Mae appeared in front of her in a burst of purple, intercepting the blade. Lyanna broke apart again, reforming at Neresa’s flank, dagger already thrusting for her chest.

Mae detonated in an explosion of force that slammed into Lyanna and Neresa, hurtling them away in different directions.

’She’s different.’

Lyanna regained her footing and fixed her eyes on Mae. She was bathed in a purple light that reeked of death. More undead rose from beneath her, staring at Lyanna with pure malice. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Mae glared at Lyanna. "Don’t ignore me."

Their eyes met, then they vanished, colliding in the skies in a flurry of force.

...

Farther out, another battle tore the landscape apart.

The leader of the Khelzar team had turned into a giant titan of flesh and bone. His every step shook the earth, his every attack cratering the terrain.

But his opponent was... air.

Sirius moved with a swiftness that bordered on impossible. Every attack was evaded, and his retaliation rendered with a speed that Caelum couldn’t fathom.

Each exchange left a new bleeding cut across Caelus’s body.

Caelum roared, sending out a blast that hurled Sirius back.

He lunged in the next instant, claws ripping out. But Sirius slowly slid his sword into its sheath. The blade trembled. Then he fully drew it and released a blast of compressed air.

Caelus tried to shift his body but the pressure tore clean through his left arm.

"Ahhh!"

Sirius backed up and re-sheathed his sword. He was about to draw again when the world around him warped. The open field flooded and became an endless black ocean.

’Where’s he?’

Caelum had vanished, and he couldn’t even see Lyanna battle anymore.

’An illusion. Rehn.’
