Chapter 27: [Bonus chapter]
Zeras stood there at the edges of the battle stages as he continuously yawned.
He could see some old burly Atlanteans appearing on the colloseum wanting to watch his first fight, it seems those were the so-called Atlantean soldiers.
They were kinda disappointed in seeing him probably due to his size, and it struck them curious what scared Plank so much he called the most bloody fighter, Roder, to come teach the boy a lesson.
The door to the battle stage eventually opened as the figure of a man moved away from the darkness.
The man was cland in a blue coloured pant, with his upper body revealed. His large tummy swinging around everytime he moved.
A Trident was flung towards Zeras with speed, but he was unfazed as he caught the trident in his hand without moving a single inch back, dispersing the force to his body.
"Defend yourself...kid" Roder yelled as he closed in on Zeras, his burly figure not affecting his speed in the least.
A Trident's throngs pierced towards his face as Zeras took a step to the side easily dodging the trident.
Roder immediately slashed the trident horizontally, causing Zeras to lie horizontally on the floor too, easily dodging all of Roder's trident strike.
It seems increasing his perception was finally showing its edges.
"It's the only thing you can do is dodge...kiddo." Roder yelled as he was starting to pant, the continuous swerving is draining away some of his energy.
With every collision, Zeras felt something strange about the Atlanteans and that was their strange strength.
Anytime Roder swung his trident, the force accompanying it was double what should normally be possible. It was as if there was a strange force accompanying every strike, increasing it's might.
Both fighters went all out,. putting their all into this fight as Roder fought hard to deal with the boy as he was told while Zeras tried to increase his comprehension of the trident.
Roder's trident pierced forward once again but this time, Zeras flunged his trident upwards instead.
Wrapping around his arm on Roder's trident, he used the soft force to suddenly drag Roder towards him.
Quickly moving behind the man, he wrapped his arm tightly around the man as he kicked the back of his knee causing roder to fall in a kneeling position.
The trident he flunged up dropped down back, as Roder looked up only to see the trident's throngs moving towards his eyes.
He immediately tried closing them, but he knew it was useless, the trident could pierce through his brain from his eyes.
But after five seconds, he didn't feel anything making him open his eyes once again.
His eyelashes brushed lightly against the trident's throngs, showing just how dangerously closed they were to impaling him as the trident was held by Zeras preventing it from truly killing the man.
"I...I.. Surrender..." The man said as Zeras slowly released his hold, and went in the direction of the exit.
All the Atlantean soldiers stood there mouth agape as they couldn't believe what was happening.
Roder was defeated and by a kid no less.
An incredible news which seemed untrue rang out through the whole of Ligeris City of the new Atlantic soldier who defeated Rider. A boy lesser than 18.
