Chapter 141 - Liquinia
Liquinia.
One of the cities that was in the euphotic zone where sunlight could still reach. The city was teeming with all sorts of life around it, as at its center was a large bubble that repelled any water from coming in.
This was a city where Atlanteans held control. In their history, it was mentioned that Atlanteans were originally those from the human race, but after spending a significant amount of time in the sea, they adapted to living there. The curious thing was that for a majority of the cities they controlled, there were many areas where they used their technology to create pockets of air where many of the old human activities were carried out.
Their counterpart, Merfolk, preferred the sea in its entirety. Their cities were fully wrapped around in the water as this was their natural home.
Noah gazed at the City of Liquinia and curiously observed the new things around him. He saw a futuristic city full of lights, with multiple vehicles that looked like the most terrifyingly weaponized submarines docked around the city.
The buildings were a mixture of gothic architecture and the most futuristic additions you could imagine, with some tall skyscr.a.p.ers created spectacularly that it seemed like Jenga blocks were just stacked together.
Atlanteans and Merfolk floated around the perimeters with glistening tridents in their hands as they went in and out.
This was the city where the three Atlanteans he had just taken down were from. From the memories he obtained, they were under the employment of the same beings he was chasing, where they were in contact with a subdivision of a legion under a Demon King.
The demons were already actively moving around the Lost World of Atlantis and forming connections with the locals, turning those with weaker hearts against their own people already.
When the three traitors who had just killed their friend without batting an eye died, they also provided a few more things besides the memories.
[Low-level Telepathy] :: You can send your thoughts to those near you. The distance is limited.
They corresponded with EPIC, LEGENDARY, and MYTHICAL for the beings that wore them. The Merman floating stably over the seabed was letting out a powerful aura of LEGENDARY rank, the Neon armor extenuating it even more.
Noah knew the customs from all the obtained memories, so he neared the powerful Merman and stopped a few meters before him, bringing the trident in his hands towards his chest and voicing out loudly.
"Neon Commander! I would like to take the Trial of Champions!"
The voice powerfully reverberated out, catching the attention of the onlookers as they began whistling.
"Haha, we have another critter who wants to descend the heavens in one step!"
"Hey hey hey, look at that shining confidence in his eyes, maybe he’s a future Champion that’s about to trek through the dangerous waters towards Atlantis!"
Many shouts and murmurings erupted out as the Neon Commander stared at Noah, a telepathic method being sent out right after.
"Your life could be in jeopardy during the trial, as I will not be holding back"
The LEGENDARY commander was smart, first starting the communication with telepathy, an ability that was only common with Atlanteans and Merfolk. In the case Noah was something else, he would be found out right away.
A light smile appeared on his lips as [Low-level Telepathy] was used, answering the question of the Neon Commander.
"I would expect no less to earn the title of Champion."
Light twinkled in the eyes of the LEGENDARY Merman as the message registered, and frighteningly white sharp teeth spread out as his mouth curved into a brutal smile.
"Good, come!"
