Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1249

Chapter 1249: Waiting Room

Atticus felt the darkening of his vision last for many moments.

Then, after a few breaths, bright light flooded his eyes. Atticus didn’t even flinch. His eyes remained wide open, hand gripping the hilt of his katana tightly.

As his vision cleared, he glanced around and took in his surroundings.

’A room.’

He had appeared in a large chamber with white walls and multiple couches scattered about, each one screaming comfort.

’A waiting room?’ That was the immediate vibe he got, and the words of the voice he’d heard moments ago confirmed it.

This was indeed a waiting room. Atticus instantly noticed the increased mana density and the soft air that almost coaxed him to flop onto one of the couches and relax.

As he observed his surroundings, thinking about what to do, multiple lights suddenly ignited around the room, and Atticus’s gaze landed on four figures.

The instant it did, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Bond!" Ozeroth exclaimed. "Was this you!?"

The prideful man stood with twin hammers brandished in both hands. Radiant golden armor covered his body, glowing just like his entire being.

He’d clearly been in the middle of an intense battle and was not happy that he’d been interrupted.

Atticus didn’t answer immediately. He first glanced at the others, Aric, Magnus, and Zenon.

He knew of Aric’s battle and just how close he’d been to winning. The man had appeared mid strike, both hands gripping the hilt of his broadsword in a downward slash.

From the deep frown on his face, Atticus could guess that he’d been about to finish off an opponent.

Magnus and Zenon were the same. Both had transformed. Lightning crackled around the former, while the latter’s body constantly shifted. They’d become Eldorians, but it was hard to let go of a power you’d lived with your whole life.

Even in the Virelenna, they had leaned into their own strengths, Magnus with lightning, Zenon with evolution. Aric’s main force in his battle had still come from his berserker bloodline.

Atticus finally turned to Ozeroth.

"I have no idea how this happened," he lied with a straight face.

Of all the people in the room, only Zenon looked visibly relieved that they had been transported. The others were clearly irritated that their fights had been interrupted.

"Ohh," Atticus said after a second.

"Oh what? What lie are you about to utter now?"

Atticus kept his face straight. Ozeroth might be able to tell he was lying, but the others wouldn’t.

"It must’ve been because the beacon broke during my fight with that god," he said thoughtfully.

"Big, menacing man? Dressed like a war veteran?" Zenon asked.

"The one who wanted to fight in the Blue Hall. Yeah." Atticus nodded. "Did you guys see him?"

"Hmph!" Ozeroth scoffed. "That stupid man ran away before I could teach him a lesson. He was spouting all sorts of nonsense too."

"What nonsense?"
