Chapter 28: Perks Of An Athlantean Soldier
Chapter 28: Perks Of An Athlantean Soldier
Among the ranks of Atlantean soldiers who stood there shocked speechless.
There was a particular individual that was even more shocked by the results.
That man is Plank.
Plank looked like someone who had his soul taken away from him as he clenched his teeth furiously.
He was angry when Zeras threatened him and therefore planned to get back at the kid by paying Roder to help him teach the boy a lesson, but not only was the boy safe and sound, he even managed to increase his fame by defeating the Roder he sent.
Most painfully was the money he lost to hire Roder which he knew will never be paid back.
Zeras ignored the group as he moved out of the colloseum and towards Plank.
Arriving before him, he asked with a playful smirk.
“So, what next…” 𝑖𝘦.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“Um…” Plank felt his heart sinking to the buttom but he quickly got an hold of himself as he replied
“You have successfully passed the Atlantean soldier Trial. Next is this…”
Planck brought out a blue card as he passed it to Zeras.
“So this is the so-called Atlantean soldier card.”
“Yes Sir, the card gives you special access to the colloseum, allowing you all the benefits of being an Athlantean soldier such as a free living room and access to the colloseum soldier training room.
Access to 100 Athlantean coins.
Choosing one trident for free from the Colloseum’s Store.
And most importantly, you can now challenge the trial taker, to join the competition.
“And Who’s the trial taker…?” Zeras trying to get to the point and get this done with.
“The trial taker is Devyn…” Zeras eyes gleamed with seriousness on hearing that name, he was well aware of who Devyn was.
It was the powerful soldier he first saw fighting and he knew the man was not only powerful but also extremely ruthless killing his opponent without blinking an eye.
Devyn would definitely not be a walk in the park.
“I have to warn you sir about the competition rules to fight Devin. It’s a life and death battle.
So either you or Devyn must die or both, there can’t be any two winner.
Besides, about 10 Athlantean soldiers have already fought with Devyn now and all have been brutally killed by him.
I know you’re strong but is there a need for you to partake in this competition. You can just easily live your life comfortably as an Athlantean soldier here.”
Plank asked with worry on his face. It’s not that he love Zeras, heck no!, It’s just that the felt he was still too young to go quickly meet his death.
He didn’t want to see their new Colloseum genius dying quickly.
To him Zeras was a gold that need to be carefully mined. It’ll be a waste if he died too quickly.
“Can you take me to the room.” Zeras asked as if he never heard all what Plank said before.
“Oh..Ok.. Right this way, Sir…” He was led deeper into a part of the colloseum.

Ten minutes later…
Zeras stood before a golden coloured door as he clenched the knob and entered into it.
The living room was pretty massive, with strange sofas built in the form of a fish.
The flooring were covered in strange blue-coloured rocks.
Instead of bulbs, there were stacks of pearls which glowed with an array of coulourful lights illuminating the area.
“This is the place sir, here, you can access the other areas using this.” Plank said as he gave a map to Zeras which showed all the area in the colloseum.
“Thank you for your help…” Zeras said shocking Plank senseless as he thought a talented person like him would definitely look down on a lazy waiter like him
“Oh… I..” Plank said trying to butt-lick a little but he was immediately cut off.
“Now you can leave…”
“Tch…” Plank immediately moved out of the room with a grumpy expression on his face.
“They’re all the same…” He muttered to himself before quickly scurrying off.
“Hey, tell Devyn I’ll be challenging him in two days from now…” Zeras said causing Plank to immediately stop as he stared at Zeras as if he was looking at a monster.
“Yes, sir…”
Zeras slammed the door shot as he sat down on the sofa breathing out his lungs.
An holographic panel appeared in front of him:
[Quest Completed: Defeat Roder.]
[+20 EXP]
[Total EXP: 20/400]
Zeras looked at the holographic panel before him, surprised quests can still be completed even though this all was just an unreal dimension.
A fact even him find very hard to accept.
If one had told him all he witnessed was a lie, he wouldn have given them a sharp slap, but that was really the truth.
“He reclined on the chair and strangely it was comfortably soft.”
Zeras immediately got a grip on himself as he quickly organized his thoughts. With the Athlantean soldier card obtained. It was time to move on to the next step.
