Chapter 109 Disbelief

n(/0Ve1BIn

The instant Atticus's fingers touched the hilt of his katana; Astrion immediately felt danger. It was a feeling he had never felt before in his life, the kind of feeling that baffled him to his core.

He had faced numerous Expert ranks, especially those who considered themselves geniuses in the human domain, and even then, he had never felt this way before.

But now he was feeling this way for a child? Astrion immediately dismissed that absurd thought from his head. It was impossible!

In response, he intensified the emanation of his aura, expanding the boundary of the previously distorted space from a mere 10 meters to an astounding 30 meters.

The air within 30 meters around him crackled with intensity. Vorlock, already noticing Astrion's increased aura, had started moving even further away, he had no intention of being caught in the crosshairs!

After receiving this power from only God knows where, Atticus felt like many things had opened up for him. It was a surreal feeling. It was as if everything he had been doing before was wrong. The way he walked was wrong, even the way he breathed.

As he was about to use the first art, he immediately felt something was wrong. His movements, stances, everything— they were unnecessary.

The first art was simple, a swift, unerring slash from one point to another. That burst pattern wasn't needed; the stance wasn't needed. Only three large, rapid bursts were needed: one for his leg, one for his arm, and one for his blade.

In the span of a second, Atticus effortlessly constructed pipelines, connecting his mana core to his body.

It was a stark contrast to the minute it had taken him to achieve this previously.

His right hand poised on the katana's hilt, the very air around Atticus began to shift.

He released three colossal bursts in rapid succession, each one causing the earth beneath him to tremble.

With a thought, the flames surged and gathered behind him, taking on a sinister form, materializing a 15 meters big, grimacing face with a wicked grin.

The grotesque visage opened its mouth, and a malevolent purple glow gathered, shooting forth with incredible velocity toward Atticus, who remained suspended in the air.

Atticus remained unfazed, his expression still as icy as ever. With a mere extension of his left hand, an orb of burning fire condensed and crackled with contained power.

The small flame orb appeared as though it was on the brink of eruption, waiting for the right moment.

In the blink of an eye, it exploded into a massive and ferocious fire storm, dwarfing Vorlock's attack in both size and intensity.

A huge wave of fire covered Vorlock's view, brightening the entire forest. The cataclysmic collision unfolded in the air, and Atticus's flames devoured and extinguished Vorlock's like a merciless tide swallowing a flickering candle.

The impact sent shockwaves resonating through the forest, creating a blinding spectacle of fiery power that stretched for kilometers.

As the relentless assault continued its high-speed advance towards its intended target, Vorlock's eyes widened in sheer horror. Swift as a shadow, he propelled himself away from the devastating attack.

Atticus's flames continued onwards, landing on the forest?floor, creating an effect that was nothing short of apocalyptic, as an earth-shattering eruption sent shockwaves rippling through the forest.

The verdant trees, once standing tall and proud, were reduced to nothing more than smoldering remnants.

By now, most of the trainees were already awake. Even Ember and Aurora watched the fight with bated breath. Only one thought echoed in their minds: 'Is that really Atticus?'
