Atticus’s Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground - Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Rankings
On a separate display, a Raven black haired youth with resilient, metallic toned muscles and sun kissed skin engaged in a relentless struggle with a colossal baboon like creature, using nothing but his bare hands.

His countenance remained stoic and unwavering, even as the sinewy contours of his muscles tightened around the creature’s neck. After enduring a few agonizing moments, the beast succumbed to its fate, drawing its final breath.

With a composed demeanor, the massive young boy rose to his feet and tapped on his device, seamlessly navigating to the rankings section.

————————————-

| Rank: 6

| Name: Eldric Emberforge

| Points: 26,780

————————————

As Eldric saw his name in the 6th position, he closed the rankings, and without uttering a word, he simply started walking away, his expression not changing one bit.

Many other screens were being watched with rapt attention by all the students in the coliseum.

On another screen, a boy with bright orange hair stood in the middle of a scene you can only describe as devastating.

The flora within a 30 meter radius of him lay reduced to cinders, the once verdant trees now charred and lifeless.

Before the young man were three corpses of beasts, their forms utterly incinerated and unrecognizable.

The boy, with a huge grin plastered on his face, tapped his device and swiftly navigated to the rankings section,

————————————-

| Rank: 4

| Name: Seraphin Stellaris

| Points: 40,689

————————————-

Gazing at his rank, Seraphin let out an audible, “Tsk,” clearly not satisfied by his rank.

Then with a thought, the gem in the middle of his forehead let out a golden glow, its intensity increasing as it enveloped his form. And then with an almost telepathic speed, he streaked through the forest leaving an orange blur in his wake.

On a separate screen, a youth with emerald green hair, adorned with intricate patterns, and boasting large ears, was showcased. A sizable headset hung loosely around his neck.

As he moved, his large ears seemed to be twitching, reacting and trying to pick up any sound in the area. And then suddenly, both his ears twitched and swiveling in a singular direction.

Reacting swiftly, the boy turned to face that specific direction. Raising his right hand, the air around it began to distort, releasing a sonic wave at incredible speed.

Almost instantaneously, the wave struck the beast positioned a few hundred meters away from the boy.

The creature froze, attempting to roar, but it seemed as though all sound in its proximity had been snuffed out.

Its veins bulged, blood seeping from its ears and mouth before bursting, casting its form and the surrounding area in a crimson hue. The beast crumpled to the ground, lifeless.

With a click, the boy navigated to the ranking section on his device.

————————————-

| Rank: 7

| Name: Harmonic Resonara

| Points: 24,780

————————————-

Harmonic gazed at his rank irritably, immediately closing it. He then continued moving through the forest.

Displayed on another screen was the towering figure of a grey furred creature, its jaws firmly clamped down on the head of an equally massive beast.

After a few seconds, accompanied by the audible sounds of bone crunching, the creature lifted its mouth, exposing the headless body of an evolved obsidian claw.

Then without warning, the creature suddenly started shrinking down until it got to the size of a large youth with gray hair and tattoos all over his body.

The youth swiftly tapped on his device and checked the ranking,

————————————-

| Rank: 3

| Name: Aislan Frostvale

| Points: 45,848

————————————-

Gazing at his rank, Aislan let out a low, discontented grunt. The massive muscles of his form tensed as he pivoted around, and an intricate process of transformation began.

Bones audibly cracked and shifted, the sinews of his body contorted, and his colossal frame rearranged itself until he assumed the shape of a majestic wolf like creature.

And then, he dashed through the forest looking for another prey.

Inside the coliseum as the cheers and applause reverberated through the air,

“Damn, this year’s competition is super tough!” exclaimed one youth to his friend, his voice rising above the deafening cheers in the crowd.

“Yeah, what were you expecting? Almost all the tier one families have someone from the main line participating!” his friend replied.

Then he suddenly gestured to the two large screens, which were currently displaying two youths.

“But damn, those two are on another level,” the youth remarked.

In one of them, a purple haired girl was currently elegantly perched upon a colossal dragon like creature that soared through the air with regal grace.

The magnificent beast, the purple haired dragon soared with grandeur, its regal scales glistening in royal purple.

Massive wings, adorned with membranes of the same majestic purple, extended gracefully from the dragon’s powerful frame.

With each beat, the wings sliced through the air, propelling the creature with effortless might. The dragon’s intelligent gaze and ornate horns highlighted its regal visage. Any time it breathed, violet flames cascaded forth, showcasing its mythical power.

In a swift display of its formidable power, a single breath of fire erupted, snuffing out the life of the unsuspecting creature and reducing it to a crisp.

Zoey raised her hands and tapped her device, navigating to the ranking section,

————————————-

| Rank: 2

| Name: Zoey Starhaven

| Points: 56,038

————————————-

Gazing at her rank, Zoey sighed, ‘How annoying,’ she thought irritably.

Closing it, she turned her gaze to her front, continuing her hunt.

And on the last screen, it was the largest and currently what most students in the coliseum were watching.

On the screen, a boy with brown hair and a perpetually bored expression was show cased. His massive broadsword rested on his back, surrounded by an assortment of swords.

Kael effortlessly maneuvered through the forest, displaying an uncanny ability to pinpoint the beasts’ locations.

When he encountered a beast, there was no dramatic confrontation, no struggle; he swiftly raced past it, leaving the creature split into lifeless halves in his wake.
