Chapter 249 Three Seconds
The world paused.
The sounds of the thousands of youths all roaring on the top of their lungs abruptly quieted down.
The whole world went silent.
And then, Atticus's eyes flashed as his speed was increased to a level the academy cameras in the control room found it impossible to catch.
Atticus's form tore through the army of youths like a comet streaking across the night sky.
The very atmosphere struggled to keep pace, parting in tumultuous waves as his unparalleled speed defied the natural order.
In a blink, his form materialized at the rear lines of the youthful onslaught, leaving behind a trail of displaced air in his wake.
It took approximately 3 seconds for the atmosphere to register Atticus's actions.
In the first second, a blue streak with the unmistakable figure of a human carved a zig zag pattern through the army of youths tracing down to his current position, leaving an ethereal trace of his journey.
In the second second, thousands of large orb shaped mana bullets suddenly materialized in the air, orbs of mana poised to strike the chins, knees, and shoulder sockets of every single one of the thousands of youths. The source of this content can be linked to n0velbin•
In the last second. This was when the atmosphere finally registered all the actions.
Sound returned, and the world regained its motion.
The result was absolutely and completely brutal. Each one of the orbs of mana bullets found its mark unerringly, hitting each of the youths unfailingly in their chins, knees, and shoulder sockets in a devastating impact, as though a barrage of supersonic bowling balls had struck each point with unrelenting force.
Their chins immediately shattered, their knees crumpled, and shoulder sockets disintegrated.
And what better way to do that than by forming a connection with this monster here? No one loved a life of poverty, a life of being powerless, and Zara was no different.
If Atticus here was her ticket out of that life, even if it was as a servant, she would hold onto it tightly.
The rest of the non combatants were instead completely stunned, not being able to utter a word.
Atticus suddenly took a step forward, and instantly flames erupted from beneath his feet, spreading out across the wide space the bloodied youths had been sprawled on.
The flames engulfed the pools of blood that had formed on the earth, instantly disintegrating it.
And then, Atticus simply started walking towards the control room, each of the non combatants immediately parting ways for him to enter.
After a few seconds of pondering, they each entered the control room, the door sliding to a close behind them.
...
Aurora's blazing form tore through the air as she propelled herself in the air with a cold look on her face.
Immediately, Atticus had given her the go-ahead to move; she had instantly acted, much to her disagreement.
'That bitch! I should have known that this was what he had been planning!' Aurora thought with a frustrated look on her face.
Throughout this battle, Aurora had just been sitting on the sidelines, not having faced even a single battle since it began.
'I hope there's at least some left.'
The plan had been very simple. Atticus had made multiple plans before he sent them all out of the camp.
Plan D comprised the opposing division attacking the camp, and when that happened, Aurora's duty was to return the favor.
Her form blazed through the forest, and after a few seconds, she got out of the foliage of trees and was instantly met with an imposing hill.
