Chapter 675 Apex Recognition

During the few days of his recovery, Magnus hadn't visited Atticus. However, Atticus didn't feel any anger or resentment about this. He could still feel the man's presence, as though Magnus's stare could reach him even within the enclosed space of his room.

Atticus left his quarters and made his way to the upper section of the airship.

Along the way, he briefly spoke with Amara and other members of the crew. They had all heard about his condition and had paid him a visit to check on him.

It wasn't until they saw with their own eyes that he was truly okay that they each relaxed.

Atticus had helped them regain their lost spark, and the last thing they wanted was for him to meet his demise. DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

As Atticus reached the upper section and stood in front of Magnus's room, he took a deep breath. He always needed to prepare himself when stepping into a room where Magnus had been for a while. The shift in the atmosphere was always substantial.

The door parted open, and a wave of pressure hit Atticus, making his hair flutter. He stepped into the room, his body pausing as he adjusted to the weight of the air.

Atticus approached Magnus, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.

'This is more like a training room than a living space. Where does he even sleep?' he wondered.

The room was completely empty, without a single piece of furniture. Magnus's eyes opened, and he immediately scrutinized Atticus from head to toe.

"You've healed," Magnus stated.

"Yes, Grandfather. Though it took far too long," Atticus replied.

"Hm. Are you aware of what occurred?" Magnus asked.

Atticus nodded but said nothing else. However, he soon became weirded out as Magnus continued to stare at him without saying anything further.

'Is there something on my face?' Atticus thought, baffled.

The stare lasted for several seconds, and Atticus began to feel incredibly uncomfortable. 'What is going on?'

"Uh—" Atticus started to speak.

"Be more careful next time," Magnus finally said, but it was not what Atticus had expected. 'Was he trying to... scold me?'

'What a massive waste of time.'

This was valuable time he could spend training. But instead, these fools were deciding to waste his time by making him fight a bunch of kids?

It wasn't arrogance or that Atticus was looking down on them.

He simply knew where he stood, especially compared to his peers. Atticus could already literally battle grandmaster+ ranks.

What could a bunch of kids possibly do?

Atticus calmed his frustrated heart as he made his way back to his room after excusing Dario and Yotad.

Without the Fire Sanctum, forming his domain would take much more time and effort. The best he could hope for now was to get this ordeal over with quickly and return to his training.

The Aegis airship took off in a blur of speed, leaving Dekai and the sanctum masters staring as it departed.

"I miss my little brother! Why didn't he try to form the light domain first?" Aeliana, the Light Sanctum master, spoke.

"Don't be delusional, Ana. That kid is old enough to be your great-grandson! Besides, he should have formed his air domain first!" Aeolus retorted, surprising everyone, even Aeliana.

The man had always acted like a tamed dog when Aeliana was present, but now he was talking to her like that?

But Aeolus didn't care. It was clear that he was disappointed Atticus hadn't chosen air as the first domain to form.

The others soon joined in on the ranting, but there was only one person with a wide smile—Dekai.

The boy was close to forming his fire domain! Dekai couldn't wait; he just couldn't!

'I'll ask him to unleash his domain for me once it's fully formed. I wonder how it would look?'

A domain was a representation of who the individual truly was and everything they had experienced. Dekai was curious—how would Atticus's domain look?

...

The Aegis airship took the pathway that cut through each sector for easy and fast travel.

After several long hours—almost a day—Atticus found himself inside the control room of the airship, gazing at the majestic sight of Sector 6, the Enigmalnk family's domain.
