Chapter 640 - Knowledge Check



---

The entire Atlantis in on a lockdown today. 

The atmosphere was weird. Everyone who\'s stationed in there, be it common folk, nobles, even the guards. All of them were unusually alert, if feels like they were sitting in pins and needles. This his because Lorenzo\'s wrath was oozing in every corner of Atlantis. It was an unfiltered rage too so everyone felt it. 

The lord of Atlantis is mad. 

Lorenzo had been Poseidon for a long time already, and the moments where he\'s absolutely livid could only be counted on one hand, however every time it happens, Atlantis will be at it\'s most sensitive state. Any citizens who tried to do something funny will most likely be punished heavily according to Sect Laws and Regulations. It happened before and it won\'t be different this time. 

Most people knew why Lorenzo is mad even without him announcing it or telling them. After all it\'s incredibly easy to anger him. Try doing something harmful to his little brother - Elias and he will be pissed beyond words. That\'s all it really takes, and few times where this same event occurred was because of the same reason. 

Just a few hours ago, some names were called in the palace. Some people saw those people entering but up until now, they still haven\'t come out yet so they could only imagine what happened to them. Frankly, some people don\'t even wanna know. They were just glad that it wasn\'t them. 

Come noon, the situations still hasn\'t improved but at least it was relatively quiet. People were minding their own business at the comfort of their own home. 

Nobody was out instead of the guards who were tasked to be on patrol. Due to this, only the guards noticed that two people came out of the palace and were heading out of Atlantis. 

These two were none other than Raven and Elias. 

If one would\'ve looked closely, they would see that Elias\' face was marred with regret and loss. It was safe to say that he still hasn\'t moved-on from the sudden revelation yesterday. In fact, he hadn\'t had a wink of sleep since then, he also lost his appetite completely. 

At this point, Elias had no doubts that what Raven told him was indeed the truth. He was taken advantage off by the people he treated as \'friends\'. 

That was a rather rude awakening for him. It was a tight slap in face. He thought that these people genuinely cared about him just like his brother but in a way that is more appealing to him. He treated the like his own family, any request they asked, he tried his best to fulfil. He even defended them against his brother once yet all he received from them was this kind of treatment...

Elias was heartbroken. He didn\'t know what to say or what to even feel. Seeing them punished was even more enlightening to him since even as they were about to fall to the deepest pits of Tartarus, their gazes still held disdain when they look at him. How could he have been so blind? 

Now that is has come to this, Raven\'s words and all of the advices that his Big Brother was constantly telling him were now echoing, in his mind.

Raven invited him to go out of Atlantis for a while in order to take his mind out of it. Elias agreed without much of thought, not really thinking properly but he knows that doing something would be much better than sitting inside his room and marinating in these thoughts. 

As they reached the exit, it was only then Elias realized something...

"U-um...Young Lord. Where\'s our shuttle?" Elias asked, still wary about how to act around Raven. 

"A shuttle?" Raven raised a brow and looked at him, seconds later his expression changed as he said: "Ah! That...we don\'t really need that. We\'ll just go on foot." 

"O-on...foot?" Elias asked, a little bit unsure especially after seeing where they are currently, which is at the sea bed. 

"Just follow me." Raven didn\'t say much and approached the gates without explaining any further. Elias swallowed some spit and just followed his orders. 

He was getting a little bit nervous but he can\'t back down now. The stepped out of Atlantis and moved towards the edge of the bubble that\'s protecting the whole place. 

All of a sudden, a brush appeared on Raven\'s hand and he waved it a couple of times. Small runes flew and attached themselves to Raven and Elias. After that, Raven moved and stepped out of the barrier. 

The barrier fluctuated just a little bit when he stepped outside. And to Elias\' amazement, he saw Raven walking on the seabed as if he\'s walking on land. Raven looked back at Elias and asked:

"You\'re not coming?" 

"A-ah! S-sorry..." 

Elias was a little embarrassed, that being said he\'s also not that dumb. Seeing that Raven applied the same runes to him, he already knew that he would be able to do the same thing as what Raven\'s doing. 

He stepped out of the barrier and it similarly fluctuated like before. Once he got out, Elias was overwhelmed by several sensations. 

First and foremost, he could breathe just fine however he still gasped as soon as he stepped out. It was his body\'s automatic response to whatever he was doing. Once he adjusted to this sensation, another one overwhelmed him. It was the surreal sensation of looking around as if he was walking inside a massive aquarium.

This wasn\'t the first time Elias had taken a step out of Atlantis but it has always been with a shuttle. Even though he was surrounded by a massive body of water, he still felt like a stranger invading a new territory since he\'s inside a shuttle. Going out without a shuttle though, was something new and something that he never thought he would o in his life. 

Elias felt much closer to the environment. He got this feeling of reception from the sea which feels weird. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before. He could feel many sensations as he just stood there rooted in place. 

Raven also notices this but he didn\'t disturb Elias. He allowed him to adjust on his own and discover many things about himself that he never knew before. 

Unbeknownst to Elias, Raven could see the mark of Poseidon - which is located at Elias\' forehead and in the shape of dark trident head, glowing with an aqua-marine brilliance. At this point, Elias is currently reaffirming his position as the next Poseidon through communing with the sea. 

At some point in time, Elias woke up from his stupor and felt overwhelmed by comfort. He never felt so free and comfortable before. It was mystical really. It was as if the sea was an extension of his body. He felt a feeling of omnipotence which scares him a lot. 

But the one feeling that stands out the most is the feeling of confidence. Being at the in this state, filled Elias with overflowing confidence. He felt like he could anything in here. 

Elias opened his eyes and saw Raven patiently standing in front of him with his back turned against him. He then realized that Raven must\'ve been waiting for so long so he hurriedly said:

"I\'m very sorry about that Young Lord Raven. I just got lost to the sudden feeling I had when I stepped out like this." Elias excused himself. 

"No worries, you didn\'t make me wait long." Raven waved a hand to him and he began walking forward. 

There was a brief silence before Elias head Raven asking him: "Do you know why I took you out here?" 

Elias was confused so he replied: "To be honest, Young Lord. No, I don\'t."

"It\'s quite simple really." Raven said as he continued moving forward. "Have a look around you." 

Elias was still confused but the moment he did what Raven asked him to do, he was shocked. 

He didn\'t need to look far. Just by tilting his head a little up, he could see a swarm of Sea Devils eyeing them with their crimson colored eyes. Elias couldn\'t even count how many there was due to him being so shocked about it. He had never seen this many Sea Devils before, and if he\'s being real honest here, this is scaring him. 

He looked back at Raven and to his shock yet again, he saw the guy sitting on a chair in front of a small table while enjoying his tea. Raven wore this smile on his face which gave Elias the creeps. 

"As the next Poseidon, it is you duty to watch over Atlantis and it\'s citizens. Knowing all types of Sea Devils are also included in that job description."

"I asked your brother yesterday if you can still remember your lessons about Sea Devils. He said that you should be quite knowledgeable about them but it\'s been a while since he tested you so I thought, it would a good idea to confirm it right now so I took you out with me." 

Elias paled but Raven\'s next words was real cherry on the top. 

"Isn\'t this nice? You get to study them up close and personal..."

\'Shit! This guy wants me dead....\'
