Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1481

Chapter 1481: Last Territory

The next territory turned out to also belong to the Redflames. But Atticus had taken Magnus’ advice to heart and had only stopped to kill the territory lord.

He left for the next territory almost immediately.

As time passed, Atticus visited different territories only to discover each of them led by Redflames. Killing their lord, he turned into a streak and left for the next.

During this time, the Redflame army only grew in size and might. The remnants of the Redflames in each territory joined the main army led by Emberion and Prya.

Their pursuit of Atticus was relentless, raining down fiery attacks the moment they sighted him.

Only ashes and devastation were left in the wake of their march, yet they did not pause.

On the back lines of the Redflame army, Emberion and Prya stood in front of a large map displaying the entire region.

Other viscounts stood a distance away, wanting to be nowhere near the impending clash between siblings.

"We can’t keep doing this, brother! We’re watching him while he slaughters our people!"

Prya’s eyes burned crimson as she glared at her brother. Emberion, in contrast, ppeared much calmer. His cold eyes were fixed on the large map display in front of him.

"Emberion!"

He exhaled through his nose.

"What?"

"Did you not hear what I just said? We need to confront him!"

"We’ll lose."

Prya’s expression darkened, and she gritted her teeth.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"If we fight him head on, we’ll lose." He turned toward his sister. "Is that what you want?"

Prya’s will erupted like a volcano, flooding the space in scorching heat. The other viscounts immediately retreated, shielding themselves.

But Prya’s fury stayed fixed on her brother.

"There is no universe where that infant beats me,"

Steam burst from Emberion’s nostrils. He looked impatient.

"Listen, Prya. I understand your rage. The death of our brothers and sisters disgusts me too. But anger won’t win this. Strategy will."

He pointed at the map.

"He’s been moving from territory to territory, killing only the lords. From that alone, his objective is clear. He’s either trying to increase his awareness and take over the region, or he’s looking for non Redflame gods to kill and get stronger. It could very well be both."

"Exactly!" Prya snarled. "Which is why we should—"

"Prya."

Prya huffed but fell silent at his stern voice.

"Trust," Emberion said quietly. "You need to trust me. It’s the only way this works."

He tapped a specific territory on the map, and Prya’s eyes narrowed at it.

Emberion finally smiled.

"If you trust me... when he steps into this territory, I’ll make sure he grovels at our feet."

In the middle of the scorched forest, Prya fell silent as Emberion began to outline his plan.

...

’Redflames again.’

Atticus stared at the territory below him. It was the seventh territory since he began his run, and it’d turned out to be owned by the Redflames.

’Looks like my assumption was right.’

He hadn’t seen even a single god from another faction since. Not even a stray.

’They’ve taken over the region and killed all others.’

Atticus exchanged a tense glance with Magnus and Kiara before glancing at the slumbering princess in his arms. Even now, she held him tight, as though she didn’t want to let him go.

’I’ll need to adjust my next move.’

His goal had slowly shifted from finding other gods and killing them, to killing the lord of each territory to expand his reach.
