?The earth quaked with such intensity that it sent shockwaves reverberating through the air, jolting the assembled students from their momentary stillness.
Panic flickered in their eyes as they instinctively braced themselves for the worst, their gazes snapping downward to the source of the disturbance.
Before anyone could comprehend what was happening, the very ground they stood upon seemed to come alive, erupting in a violent upheaval.
Soil and rock surged upward, coiling and twisting with unearthly fluidity, ensnaring each member of the division in a web of earthen tendrils.
The earth wrapped around their forms, encasing them from waist to shoulder in a protective cocoon.
As they looked around at their surroundings, a small spherical long handhold materialized beside each of them, offering a sturdy anchor should they need to steady themselves.
Neither of them even needed to think who was responsible, there was only one person who could do this.
They all shot their gazes towards their front to see the form of a tall white-haired boy who was the only one that wasn’t enclosed in earth.
Atticus remained a stoic figure, his expression unreadable as he surveyed the unfolding events.
There was not a single visual cue indicating that he was the one responsible for the current situation.
In fact, if not because they were all aware of his power, neither of them would even believe that he was the one responsible.
All of them gazed at him, wondering what he was planning, and then, as casual as ever, Atticus took a step forward.
It was as though an ordain was passed from heaven; the earth, 100 meters from Atticus, where each of them were collectively standing, suddenly quaked.
Without so much as a warning, it shot upwards, taking everyone along with it.
Instantaneously, the earth, ginormous and all-encompassing, erupted from all around the campgrounds they had just left, immediately covering up the entirety of the camp like a protective earth dome.
Only the combatants had followed; the non-combatants remained at the camp, sheltered by the presence of the earth dome. Atticus had no intention of losing any one of his points.
“Ahhhhhh!” Intense screams filled the air, each of the division members yelling at the top of their lungs as the massive earth holding them descended from the air at supersonic speed. 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
Even the Ravenstein youths were shaken, gripping the handhold that Atticus had created tightly as they braced for impact.
They were about to land on the mountain slope in a few seconds, and the terrain was anything but flat.
It was plenty obvious that their landing was going to be brutal.
Turning her gaze towards Atticus, Aurora was shocked beyond words to see that he still remained in the same position, not having moved an inch from where he was standing.
“Atticus!!!!!!” Aurora’s feminine yell echoed as the earthen platform approached the ground.
Each of them instinctively closed their eyes and tightened their grips, bracing themselves for the inevitable crash.
But the seconds went by, and the expected clash didn’t occur.
One by one, they all reluctantly opened their eyes, and they were each immediately met with another shock.
Just above the uneven mountain terrain, the entire 100-meter-wide earth that they were all standing on remained suspended in the air.
The one who was most shocked out of all of them was Nate. He knew exactly just how incredibly hard it was to continually control and suspend this massive and heavy amount of earth in the air.
He couldn’t even dream of doing such a thing for a second as he was. Yet, Atticus was doing it without flinching.
The division members all let out a sigh of relief as they saw that they didn’t crash into the mountain. But this brief respite was very short-lived.
Before they could react once again, the massive form of the earthen platform hurtled down the mountain, crushing everything in its path.
Massive beasts were obliterated, and uneven terrain was flattened. Every single obstacle that was supposed to pose a challenge to the youths was effortlessly overcome.
A cacophony of loud and intense screeches filled the air as an army of massive winged beasts, identical to those that had attacked before, swooped down towards their advancing form, their sharp beaks aimed menacingly at the group.
But before the division members could even draw out their weapons, an uncountable number of earthen spikes erupted from the platform, their forms piercing through the air at supersonic speeds.
The result was brutal. The earthen spikes impaled each of the massive beasts, turning their bodies into nothing more than pincushions.
The sky was immediately painted crimson with the blood of the creatures, but before it could reach the group, an intense gust of wind suddenly appeared, sweeping all the blood away, the advancing form of the earten platform undisturbed.
An eerie silence enveloped the earthen platform as every one of the division members, including the Ravenstein students, fell silent. Their gazes were fixed on Atticus, who still hadn’t even moved an inch.
Many might be wondering, just why was Atticus brute-forcing his way through this battle as though he wanted it to end fast.
Well, the answer would be very simple,
‘I’m very close,’ Atticus thought with giddy anticipation, ‘Very close to unlocking the space element.’
‘Status,’ Atticus thought, and immediately a holographic interface materialized in front of his face.
