Chapter 218 Retreat

"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

The control room was enveloped in an eerie silence, shattered only by the abrupt sound of Isabella dropping her smoothie.

Every single one of the operators in the control room had their mouths wide open, and this time around, even Isabella wasn\'t excluded!

"W-what j-just h-happened?" stammered one of the operators, his expression in complete disbelief that mirrored what every single one of them was feeling.

What had they just witnessed?

Those same exact words resonated within each one of their heads as they grappled with the power Atticus had just unleashed.

Isabella stood in absolute shock, her mouth wide open, her hand still suspended in the air, smoothie forgotten.

Is he truly a 15 year old boy?

\'What is going on!\' She thought frantically.

No one could ever believe that such a young boy could display that much power.

Sure, she had been expecting him to show something mind blowing, but this, this was far too much! What the hell!

\'It\'s a fucking master- rank beast!\'

From what Atticus had just shown, it made it abundantly clear that if he had wanted, he could have mutilated the beast from the very beginning!

She had always wondered why, despite the fact that he was always going around with a katana strapped to his left waist, he had never once used it before.

She had completely brushed it off thinking maybe it was just for an aesthetic sense.

But never would she have ever imagined that she was way off the mark. It was clear now, very clear that the only reason he hadn\'t used it before was because he hadn\'t seen any need to.

It would have truly been over kill!

A fifteen year old boy that could easily kill a Master- rank beast?

\'The world truly isn\'t fair,\' Isabella thought.

The most baffling part of all this was the fact that a beast was inherently more powerful than a human of the same rank.

So didn\'t that mean that Atticus, a first year student of the academy, a 15 year old boy, was stronger than a master- rank individual?

\'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.
