Chapter 218 Retreat

But just as Atticus was about to unleash another wave of power, he froze.

A moment of contemplation seized him. 'No,' he thought, taking a brief pause to consider his next move.

"That would be better," Atticus muttered, decisively choosing his next action in the span of a second.

And then suddenly, Atticus stopped controlling the air element, allowing himself to descend towards the ground where thousands of beasts eagerly awaited him.

In the air, Atticus swiftly shifted his focus to the fire element. His form ignited in to an infernal brilliance, flames spiraling around him as he raised his hands, releasing a massive burst from his palms that accelerated his descent to unimaginable speeds.

Atticus plummeted from the skies like a blazing comet, landing amidst the cluster of beasts that had gathered below.

BOOOOOM!

The aftermath was nothing short of catastrophic. A tempest of scorching fury swept through in every direction, leaving a wake of devastation.

The unleashed power surged with an unrestrained force, reducing hundreds of once menacing beasts to mere ashes in the blink of an eye.

Within the heart of the newly formed crater, Atticus stood amidst the inferno, his silhouette flickering in the intense flames as his form was completely engulfed in a blaze.

Without waiting for the ranks of beasts to close in around him, his blazing form tore through their numbers at supersonic speeds.

In no time, he reached the entrance he had used to access this space earlier, blazing through it without a hint of hesitation, leaving the deafening screams of the pursuing beasts in his wake.

His decision was clear: retreat.

However, escape wouldn't be that straightforward. With a unified, angry scream, every single one of the thousands of beasts charged towards the entrance of the space.

Their collective movement bore a singular intent: tearing Atticus into pieces.

.....

SPLASH

'What the actual fuck did we admit into this academy,'

But Isabella's thoughts suddenly took on a more serious turn. If the Tier One families were to ever catch a single whiff of how strong Atticus currently was,

'The human domain would be thrown into utter chaos,' Isabella contemplated.

And she truly wasn't far from the truth. Each of the Tier One families that had witnessed Atticus and Kael's prowess during the test were already on the tips of their toes, making different plans to make sure the power balance was kept the same.

But what if they suddenly find out that Atticus was way stronger than what they had imagined?

"Bella..."

"Miss"

"Miss Isabella!"

Isabella was snapped out of her thoughts by the urgent call of an operator. Turning her gaze toward him, the man visibly shivered under the dangerous glint in Isabella's eyes and her emitted aura.

Isabella swiftly regained her composure, her eyes returning to normal, and she retracted her ominous aura.

"What?" she inquired sharply.

The man, taking deep breaths to steady himself, quickly spoke, "Miss Isabella, he's currently leading the beast back towards the expanse! The beasts aren't supposed to attack them until the last day!" he exclaimed.

Had Atticus been present, he would have seen that his assumption had been completely correct. The academy usually waited until the last day of the one month period to attack them with the beasts.

Isabella turned her gaze towards the screen and saw that he was speaking the truth. 'Shit!' She had been so lost in her thoughts that she hadn't even registered what was happening.

'It's too early,' she contemplated.

If the beast were to attack the students now, they wouldn't be able to utilize them later.

"En-" Just as Isabella was about to issue the command to recall back the beast, her words were abruptly cut off,

"You would do no such thing,"

All eyes in the control room turned towards the back to see Harrison, who stood with unwavering focus, his gaze fixed directly on the screen displaying Atticus.
