Outcome

Atticus might not have known how to do it, but what he did know was that it was related to his will. And he was sure he had enough will, so he decided to give it a try.

Darting backward, Atticus skillfully evaded a skull cracking sweeping kick from Jared.

Seizing the opportunity, Atticus leaped back, attempting to create distance, but Jared, relentless, swiftly closed the gap, launching a brutal uppercut.

Jared's eyes narrowed as he witnessed Atticus closing his eyes, and in the next moment, his eyes almost bulged out from its socket as he saw a red translucent barrier appear just beneath his chin.

Jared's fist hit the translucent barrier, the force generating a small shockwave that made his and Atticus's clothes flutter. But regardless of the force, the barrier held strong.

'How!?' Jared was stunned beyond belief.

He jumped backward, creating distance between him and Atticus, his gaze completely fixed on the white-haired little monster.
