Chapter 443 Figure
A/N:
As Atticus saw the imposing figures of the individuals clad in sleek purple futuristic combat suits, the world seemed to slow as Atticus rapped up his perception to the highest level it could reach in his current weakened form.
No words were spoken; they had each already tried to kill Atticus, and that was all that mattered.
Atticus watched as each of them slowly pulled the trigger of their respective guns, the nozzles lighting up in a crimson glow, four distinct laser beams shooting towards Atticus's figure.
Atticus's mind spun, his gaze moving at fast speed as he mapped out the exact trajectory of each shot.
With lightning fast movements, Atticus's hands on the floor suddenly clenched, his legs tensing as he shot forward, his form suddenly adjusting in an awkward position in the air.
The next event was insanely baffling to the four men, as each of their precise shots, each targeting weak points, missed as though they didn't dare touch a single inch of Atticus's body.
The men weren't novices; seeing their shots had missed, they each unleashed rapid, precise shots at Atticus, each one threatening to turn him into swiss cheese.
But Atticus's movements were short and deliberate, too elite and well coordinated, dodging each of the shots before they had even left the gun.
Atticus's retaliation was swift, his right hand flickering to the side, four hard stones appearing between each finger. n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m
Atticus's eyes narrowed, his gaze landing on his targets.
Without hesitation, he channeled mana into each stone, his hand flexing as their forms cut through the air at supersonic speeds, instantaneously appearing inches away from each of the assailants' crotches.
No matter how well covered or armored an individual, particularly a man, was, there was always one point on their body that 99% of men would try to defend when threatened: their crotch.
Despite the fact that mana infused stones, especially weak ones such as the ones about to hit them, weren't powerful enough to inflict any damage or harm on their targets, their minds didn't even think of this fact as they each removed their hands from their triggers, swiftly covering their crotches as though their lives depended on it.
Atticus did the same thing for the other men he had shot initially, shooting each of them to make sure they were indeed dead.
After which he rested his back on a tree, taking in a deep breath as he tried to process all that had just happened.
'Is this still the leader's summit or did something happen?'
Everything that had happened so far had been so baffling that Atticus was forced to believe that there was something wrong somewhere.
If not for the fact that it was him, Atticus doubted that anyone amongst the other students would have survived this situation. He wasn't trying to brag; it was a simple fact.
Apart from this, there was one other feeling that kept nagging at his mind, but Atticus had been shoving it deep inside of him. Now wasn't the time for any distractions.
'Aurora.'
Atticus released a deep exhale. But before he could go to Aurora, he wanted to check the identity of the attackers and hopefully utilize their suits.
"You're strong."
Just as he was about to move, Atticus's form abruptly froze as he suddenly heard a voice coming from the top of the tree he had been resting on.
It sounded robotic, as though it had been a machine that had just spoken.
Without even turning to look, Atticus dashed forward at fast speed, putting enough distance between himself and the tree.
After he was at a safe distance, Atticus swiftly turned backwards to look at who or what had just spoken, leaning in on the latter.
In the next second, Atticus's gaze shook as he saw the figure.
