Chapter 321 Found It

?As soon as the darkness receded, Atticus found himself inside facing a large, humongous body of water.

The entirety of the room was submerged in water, stretching endlessly in every direction. It wasn't just the floor or walls; the water filled every inch of space, suspended as if by an unseen force.

Above him, below him, and all around him, the water shimmered with a translucent glow, casting ethereal reflections that danced across the cavernous expanse.

Atticus stood on a small platform, the only dry spot in the entire chamber, surrounded by the vast, undulating sea that stretched out in all directions.

Atticus took a step forward, his hand stretching out to touch the suspended water. He expected there to be some kind of force that would stop his hand, but he was a little shocked to see his hand simply phase through, entering the body of water.

"Hmm," Atticus moved his hands upwards and downwards, getting a feel for it.

After confirming that it really was water, he wrapped himself in a bubble of water to ensure his body didn't get wet.

Then, he made sure he had enough air inside the bubble, and with another step forward, he entered the body of water.

As soon as Atticus entered, he took control over the surrounding water and immediately started swimming deeper into the water.

Seeing as how the other two elemental rooms had been, Atticus had immediately surmised that he had to go deeper to experience the full benefits of training in the elemental rooms.

It was only by doing so that it became challenging for him.

And he had been right on the mark. With each passing moment and the deeper he went, Atticus could feel the water pressure intensifying manyfold.

He knew the inevitable would soon happen, and it didn't take long for it to happen, as Atticus's form came to an abrupt stop.

The current pressure was too intense; just like in the air elemental room, Atticus found it profoundly hard to control the water around him.

And this was the same for his movements; they were completely restricted. He found it hard to move even a single finger.

'I'll use this spot,' Atticus decided to utilize this spot for his training. Closing his eyes, he entered a deep state of meditation, forgetting all his elements except water.

'Sigh, I knew it,' just when Atticus was about to give up, at the end of the hall, just to the right, Atticus saw it.

It was a deep indigo colored door which seemed to embody the vastness and mystery of space.

Atticus's gaze moved to the icon on the door. It was a stylized representation of a swirling galaxy.

"Jackpot!" Atticus couldn't hold back his excitement, his lips curling up into a huge, intense grin. He finally found it!

Atticus couldn't even begin to explain just how happy he was at this find. This would change a lot of things for him.

He wouldn't have to waste his academy points, he wouldn't have to go on a killing spree in the forest every time, he wouldn't have to keep spamming teleportation runes!

He was elated!

Atticus calmed his beating heart and immediately started approaching the imposing indigo-colored door. But before he got closer, his steps abruptly came to a halt.

'Won't I get tested?' Atticus's thoughts raced.

In each of the rooms he had entered so far, before he had been able to enter, he had been subtly tested.

The intense hot heat wave, the crazy air pressure, and the jet of water were all to test his ability to control the respective elements.

But what about space?

Atticus, of course, had an affinity for space, but what he was currently trying to do was unlock the element.

That simply meant that he currently had absolutely no control over the space element.

'What will happen if I'm attacked with the space element?' Atticus couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

He still vividly remembered his fight against Astrion back at the Raven camp.

'At the very least, I won't die,' Atticus tried to reassure himself. Even if the attacks were lethal, he still had the artifact to protect his life.

Taking deep breaths, Atticus steadied his breathing, and then he started approaching the door.
