Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 1414

Chapter 1414: Talk

Now, the council members were hers to control. It would stay with them for life.

"Kneel."

The council members crashed down to their knees instantly. Anorah stared down at them coldly.

"Don’t do anything traitorous to the Resistance," she said coldly, her voice echoing through the world, "or to me. Await further instructions."

"Now," she added, her tone filled with disgust, "get your filthy selves out of my world."

With a flick of her wrist, the portals appeared before them, and one by one, the branded council members and the remnants of their families were swallowed whole.

...

"Tough night?"

From those words, at the very least, Atticus expected a small smile. If he was reaching, he expected the Saint to burst into laughter.

But all he received was an effortless nod.

"It is."

Atticus frowned. The Saint stood at the top of a balcony, overlooking the world below with an emotionless gaze.

"You’re still in Logoth."

"I am." Another emotionless response.

"Why?" Atticus walked over to the spot beside her. "The battle is over. Staying in Logoth this long is a bad idea."

He knew of the terrible consequences of using Logoth for too long. It placed far too much burden on the mind.

"I know."

A moment of silence went between them. Anorah turned towards him.

"Why are you still here?"

Atticus was slightly taken aback.

"You’re making it sound like you don’t want me here."

"You’ve never wanted to be here, Atticus. Your plan was to learn Logoth and leave for your world. Am I wrong?"

Atticus furrowed his brow.

’She’s trying to change the topic.’

"You’re not wrong."

"Then—"

"But that’s not why you’re not leaving the Logoth state."

Anorah turned away, her shoulders tense.

"Why won’t you leave?"

"You refusing to leave the Logoth state means you won’t feel," Atticus said with a knowing look.

"You won’t mourn. Your people sacrificed themselves for you, but you won’t even mourn them? Do you know what they call people like that?"

"Please... leave," Anorah whispered. A tear rolled down her cheek as she felt Logoth slipping away.

"Cowards."

The word struck her. Anorah released a deep, trembling sigh as the last vestiges of Logoth shattered.

The tear fell freely from her eyes as emotion flooded in like a storm. The strength in her knees left her, and she sank to the ground, weeping silently.

"Now I’m all alone..." she whispered in a barely audible voice.

Atticus watched her in silence, saying nothing. After a long moment, he slowly sat down beside her, his gaze fixed on nothing in particular.

The night was a sad one.
