Chapter 140 - Atlantean
A flash of red light, brief darkness, and then a shining blue light stretching itself across the horizon.
The process of arriving in the Lost World of Atlantis was that fast with the use of {Spatial Travel}. It felt as if Noah had just strolled from one corner of the land to another, but it was actually across many stars before arriving at a place in Orias’s memory.
He opened his eyes to a clear blue sky, and even clearer blue colors below him as the sea moved by. Every single corner of the skies that he turned to all showed a vast array of the body of water stretching across the horizon.
There were calm waves moving by as almost all life could be sensed in the sea. Noah knew he was looking at the wrong places as he smiled and activated another unique skill, {Shapeshifter}.
The painful sound of bones and the human structure being changed rang out as the body he had always been used to rapidly began changing. The process was quick, which cut the pain short and allowed for a rapid transformation to occur.
His body changed and soon became the depiction of something he had seen among the many memories, one of the native species of this Lost World that was known as the Atlantean.
They were an interesting species, having a body similar to that of humans, but with extra features that adapt under the heavy pressure of the sea and the amphibious characteristics that allowed them to breathe underwater.
Of course, someone of the LEGENDARY rank would not have trouble surviving underwater due to the lack of oxygen with the power they held, but this change to become an Atlantean was not for the purpose of just adapting to the sea.
Noah felt his new body that seemed to match everything he had seen in the memories, from the general outlook to their soft and moist skin all over his body. Not too much had changed with his body, the only thing vastly different was the golden hair that replaced the dark one he had been born with.
He felt the actual physiological changes when his body began sinking into the sea. A feeling of likeness entered his mind the moment he touched the water, as he sunk completely into the sea and opened his eyes to a brand new world. He was looking at the wrong places when he stared in the skies as he arrived, and now, he was beginning to see the fantastical sight of the world teeming with life.
"Santus! We grew up...together...why collude with...GUH!"
Painful words came out as bright green neon blood dyed the sea, with a dying sound from the merman coming out in the end as the one that he considered a friend twisted the trident in his chest and took his life.
The cruel look remained on the Atlantean’s face as he pulled out the trident and swung it to the side. He was about to tell the two beside him to take care of the body when another voice rang out before his.
"Wow, I chance upon murder as the first thing I see?"
The voice seemed to contain calm and curiousness, turning the face of the Atlantean grim as without even giving a single second to understand who just appeared, a command left his mind and entered the minds of the two beside him.
’ATTACK!’
The command rang out in their heads, and in the next second, there were three Atlanteans hoisting green tridents as their figures bolted where the voice was coming from.
Water rapidly rotated around them as their speed increased, nearing the position of the voice in an instant. The tridents glowed green as they waited to hear the sound of flesh being pierced. A sound did come, but not the one they expected.
SWOOSH!
A terrifying feeling overcame the three Atlanteans as they felt their Tridents hit nothing, and a second after began seeing green blood flowing out of them as it quickly froze over. The area around them had become enclosed in ice as a long blade passed through each of their bodies and took their lives.
[Absolute Zero] had a killer effect in the sea as it stopped the movement of anything in its range while the long blade being wielded sliced apart the rank S Atlanteans as if they were nothing. The curious voice that had come upon the scene of murder rang out once again.
"Now, what stories will your memories tell?"
