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.

All sorts of organisms he hadn’t seen before were visible as Noah used the recently combined [Searching Thermal Sight] to quickly locate many of the beings around him. The cold-blooded organisms that took the temperatures of their surroundings were still clearly visible to him with the use of this skill. With a single thought, the skill allowed his eyes to hone in on the direction and being he was thinking of.

On this surface layer where he was in, he could only see many organisms with the characteristics of fish swimming around. Their bodies glimmered as their colorful scales whizzed by, their speed being something you don’t normally see.

If he wanted to get the chance to see more important things, he had to go much deeper into the sea. A smile appeared on Noah’s face as he felt the comfortableness of being underwater with the body of an Atlantean. Under the water, he opened his mouth to hear words and sounds coming out with no problems, the vibrations of his voice traveling in the water as if he was in the air. Even if his voice could not be heard, he still had [Silent Communication] to imitate one of the traits of Atlanteans that he would no doubt come across soon.

The Atlantean species was loved by the sea, and they received boosts in their power whenever they fought in their natural habitat. Noah had no problem adapting to the new body as he began moving around using [Warp Flight]. With this combined skill, he could fly while at the same time transferring around nearby locations as he chose, the speed even faster than before.

Having gotten used to the new feeling and seeing breathing come to him even easier than when he was in the air, Noah’s figure barrelled down deeper into the sea, very keen to meet the inhabitants and fully start his journey. He used his skills to actively sense for and look as he dived deeper and deeper, the first location already laid out in his mind.

In the vast sea, a few nautical miles away from a city that was known as Liquinia, a brutal scene was playing itself out.

Three Atlanteans were surrounding another species that was native to the Lost World, known as the Merfolk. There was a clear distinction between Atlanteans and Merfolk, with the latter having the lower half of a fish most of the time.

This time, a particular Merman was injured and continued to take heavy hits from the Atlanteans around him, a gruff voice ringing out from the leader.

"You should not have followed us Sud. Our employer is very thorough, and does not allow any mistakes. I am sorry."

The Atlantean with golden hair seemed sorry as his apathetic voice rang out, the green trident in his hands shining with a black light as it went towards the chest of the Merman.

THUCK!

It sank in with little resistance as Sud, the merman, looked at his friend in shock.

"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?"
