He uses 2 abilities, (smash, and power stomp) then instantly brings you to 1 health. This is physical damage, but goes through both divine shield and blessing of protection. Truly this man is an absolute unit.

I loved this. Too often we are led to believe that we're these godlike beings who simply cannot fail, no matter the odds. A lesson in humility was long overdue.
He's a Thanos, after all.

What to do
Description
It is clear to all that you are indeed a skilled combatant. There is one challenge here that continues to test even the strongest among us. I would have you attempt to best a well-known centurion, beloved by all aspirants. It is called Athanos. Consider this a test of your spirit. If you can withstand this trial, then I will deem you ready for what lies ahead.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Assessing Your Strength
The trial to come will test you in ways you can likely only imagine. I can see both from your past and from your demeanor that you are no stranger to combat. I would like to know where your strengths lie so we may address any weaknesses we find before your trial.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Chamber of First Reflection
Ah, Athanos. It remains undefeated, as intended. Still, you have exceeded any expectation I might have had. You are stronger than many that have come before you. You have come here for a purpose, and Kleia has illuminated a path that she believes you can walk. I agree.
