As soon as they finished welcoming Sebastian before he could blink, the Leroy clan members left, disappearing almost as abruptly as they came, leaving him speechless once again.
In the end, everything returned to the beginning, leaving him with the big Grouper fish and the turtle clan head, Leroy.
"Umm, what's his name?" Awkwardly turning his body, he asked the turtle. Despite seeing it for minutes already, he was still left shocked at how big this turtle was compared to those that he'd seen on earth.
"Oh, that is my sidekick. His name is Big Group". Leroy turned to face the Grouper fish. "Right, buddy?"
"Huff!" The Grouper pushed bubbles up through the water. "Yes, buddy!"
"Good boy". Leroy placed his hand on top of its fishy head and rubbed gently, earning a cheerful shake from the deadly Grouper fish.
Asking a question that left the turtle glaring at him suspiciously, Sebastian finally confirmed its gender. Leroy was a male, and Big Group was a male too which he already predicted.
After asking all the questions in his mind for clarification which he was grateful for that Leroy answered, he finally had a general idea of this place a bit.
From the way they talked, he guessed that Leroy was the highest leveled ocean creature in the clan, which translated to why he became the clan head.
It never got outdated, the biggest hitter was always the leader.
From the slap that he suffered under the turtle's hands without having a single chance of retaliation, he guessed that this turtle was probably far higher-leveled and evolved than he was.
They didn't just stay there though after the other clan members left; Leroy took the lead as they started swimming to the clan's lair.
Throughout the journey through the expanse to the location of the clan's lair, Sebastian kept quiet as the turtle sage, Leroy started teaching him the basic knowledge about Oceania.
He felt like he returned to his teenage years where his teacher loved lecturing him with that awfully authoritative tone, he felt like lashing out but he held himself back thinking of the holy slap.
Spare the rod and spoil the child, he guessed that this was the strategy that Leroy used on him. "What a scam!" He lamented.
According to Leroy, he was a 60-year-old turtle.
He narrated the basic knowledge about Oceania that the system already revealed to Sebastian again, making him heave a huge sigh of relief after confirming that the turtle teachings were not a scam.
According to Leroy, Oceania is a magic world. He didn't know how it originated, all he knew was that one day he just broke out from his egg and came out to see this magical world.
His parents were not there when he woke up, only his fellow siblings who were confused about what they were and where they stood.
That same day that he broke out of his eggshell, he and his siblings suffered an attack from a Viper. The long evil thing swallowed a few of his siblings, but he was among the lucky fellows who survived.
Sebastian was beyond bored already as the old turtle continued its tale, the only thing preventing him from falling sleeping was the occasional insightful information that he gave.
According to him, the blueish-green light that always shone, illuminating this region of the ocean was this region or sea's essence magic.
Sebastian already suspected it before, and Leroy confirmed it to him. This was the Green Mist Sea, and the name was given to it due to the color manifestation of the essence magic here.
The world was powered by magic.
It was abnormal for different species of creatures to be communicating with a similar language, but all of this was possible because of the ever-present magic essence in the water.
About the shark incarnation ceremony that he told Sebastian about, it was just like a coming-of-age ceremony that is usually organized by all shark clans annually.
That was the reason why Sebastian woke up with no family member nearby, his parents left him to experience the perils of the world alone.
It was cruel, but according to Leroy, that was the way of the sharks.
Only the strong-willed and heavy hitter sharks get to survive, and only they get the opportunity to reunite with their family and meet the alpha shark.
If Sebastian could survive and grow strong enough to find his way home, then he would be welcomed by his family before being subjected to undergo the coming-of-age tournament.
It was a tournament of the young sharks that survived. Through it, they will be ranked according to their strength which would determine their future path as strength meant everything in Oceania, most especially to sharks.
Digesting all this information at once, Sebastian felt overwhelmed.
Yes, he was a great shark dissector in his previous life, nicknamed the crazy dissector, but does that warrant his fate of living a life where his parents abandoned him immediately after death?
Uncaring about his feelings, Leroy rambled on.
According to him, in this small expanse underneath the cave, 2 clans were the dominant power here and they were rivals. Both clans were the Leroy and Teeth Power clan.
Sebastian didn't even need more elaborate explanations before he understood why the turtle took him in.
As a great white shark, he had a lot of potentials to become stronger in the future. To strengthen his clan as well as to kill his rival, this was the reason why Leroy took him in and gave him such valuable knowledge for free.
Having learned everything that he needed; Sebastian became curious. "How did you know so much about Shark family customs?"
"Experience". Leroy raised one of his hands, the annoying sage-like vibe emanating from him again. "I told you that my parents left me too, I've experienced a lot of things, kid".
"Surviving alone as a baby turtle in Oceania is not an easy feat, kid".
Sebastian wanted to ask another question but he was interrupted.
"Sebastian…, Welcome to the Leroy lair!" The turtle spread all its 3 pairs of hands exaggeratedly with a proud smile of achievement lighting up its face.
"Wow!" Sebastian was not faking it; he was sincerely awed as he took in the sight greedily.
He was beyond amazed. "What a beautiful sight!"

The lair was far more magnificent than Sebastian ever guessed or imagined. It was the perfect embodiment of fantasy beauty, making him find a reason to love this world for the first time since he transmigrated here.
The numerous beautiful corals that filled this underground expanse of the cave were put to good use here.
Glowing corals that were perfectly carved into various intricate shapes illuminated the cave lair in a beautiful constant rainbow color effect.
Sebastian saw oceanic plants for the first time, and it was a glorious sight.
Moss, ferns, liverworts, and a lot of other plants that he could not recognize filled the entrance of the lair, others growing all the way to the depths to form a long line of natural magnificence.
He remembered that moss and liverworts normally grew mainly in moist environments but not necessarily water, but he also remembered Leroy's teaching that this world was powered by magic.
With such knowledge at the back of his mind, he knew better than to measure Oceania standards with what he previously knew from earth.
Yellow flowers that were bigger than Sebastian, towering up to the ceiling of the cave like skyscrapers filled the entrance.
Red connected plants with leaves like potato plant leaves filled the passage that led deeper into the lair, intertwining together to form something like clusters of dome-shaped buildings.
There were no magical gates of the sort blocking the entrance as he expected, no Asgardian level technological marvel, no Heimdall at the entrance, but just a pure beauty forged from nature.
Plants alone could not form the perfect picture depiction of nature; other living organisms were needed and this lair was not lacking in them.
Fishes, lots of fishes, the type that could tingle your skin, and sea creatures also, lots of them filled the lair, down from the entrance to the lair deep inside the depths that was still visible to Sebastian due to the illumination of the corals.
"Welcome to my lair". Leroy emphasized again, feeling satisfied on seeing the astonished and awed expression on Sebastian's face.
He had to admit, getting to awe newcomers with what he created never failed to bring a proud feeling to his heart. It was nice to create beautiful things, but it was even nicer to display that work of beauty to others.
Still stunned by the beauty, Sebastian finally turned to face Leroy. "Thanks, thanks for bringing me here, I really appreciate it".
"The pleasure's all mine".
"Hehe". The big Grouper fish laughed from the side, spreading bubbles on the water and making Sebastian turn to face it.
"What's so funny?"
"Hehe".
"…"
After the entrance came the inside of the lair, Leroy took Sebastian on a tour with his sidekick, Big Group, following behind diligently.
"Good morning, clan head". A Bluefin Tuna greeted Leroy with a wide fishy smile on its face, Sebastian easily noticed that it was far smaller and lower-leveled than the one he killed back in the expanse surface.
"Good morning, clan head". Another fish greeted; Sebastian recognized it as an Atlantic cod.
"Good morning, clan head". This time, it was an Atlantic wolffish.
"Good morning clan head". This time, Sebastian didn't recognize it.
"Good morning…"
"Good morning…"
Leroy just waved its foremost pair of hands at the fishes as they greeted, a proud clan heady smile on his turtle face.
Sebastian had to admit, this was his most memorable tour in the history of his life in both worlds. As a crazy anatomist back on earth, going on tours was not exactly his thing, now he knew what he had been missing.
Leroy took him to other places in the lair as the tour continued, 2 of the most memorable locations being the lair's kitchen and the weaponry forge.
In the kitchen, the sight that greeted Sebastian almost made him choke to death from shock. The chefs of the clan were actually all tortoises, not turtle but tortoise which made him marvel at the magic of this world again.
He didn't know where they got the knowledge from, but all the tortoises in the kitchen were dressed in makeshift aprons that were made from broad leaves of sea plants.
It was crude, but this still made Sebastian amazed.
At the side of the forge, it was dominated by crabs only. Seeing crabs with various forging materials, walking in and out of the forge actively to craft weapons for the clan left him astonished.
He didn't know why but seeing this, he felt like taking a scene like this to form a movie back in his previous world would surely make a hit.
He didn't even make a fuss about how a forge could be operated in an ocean; this world was powered by magic. Whenever he saw something inconceivable, that was what he told himself. This world is powered by magic.
After taking him around on the satisfying tour, Leroy finally led him to his own clan head throne.
Unlike what he expected, the shameless turtle did not build for himself a luxurious throne. It was just a big chair made from glowing corals.
At the side was something like a stool made from the same corals, this was undoubtedly for his sidekick, Big Group.
As soon as he sat down, Leroy turned to face his newest clan member. "Don't be anxious, kid. I won't beat around the bush; I will tell you the reason why I didn't kill you immediately now".
Sebastian grew tense hearing that. Trying to make his expression as neutral as possible, he hovered on the water and listened to another long Leroy lecture.
According to Leroy, the main reason why he took him in was for his upcoming decisive battle with his main rival in this expanse, Sting Tail. Sebastian already expected to hear that, but Leroy added other reasons and details.
According to the turtle, the level of a sea creature was directly proportional to his/her strength but bloodline played a huge role too.
For the current him, he was level 18 already but despite this, he could not win a battle against a level 10 great white shark if he met one. This was the difference in bloodline which cannot be breached by just levels.
According to him, your bloodline determined the speed of your leveling through killing prey, and sea creatures with petty bloodlines had a cap on how far they could level up.
Almost all the sea creatures in this expanse were among the category of those with petty bloodlines, Sebastian was the only anomaly that should not be here. That is why he took him in without hesitation.
After explaining all this, he proposed a clan before the shark with a solemn look on his face. "Sebastian, I'm ready to power level you, but you have to promise me that you won't turn against me".
"And, the other promise is that you'll help me defeat my rival. After that, you and I can call a close to our business, and you'll go to the expanse outside the cave where you truly belong".
If manner fell from heaven on his lap, who was Sebastian to reject?
"I accept your proposal".

Sebastian still felt like he was dreaming. It still felt unreal to him, as soon as he accepted the proposal laid down by Leroy, his status in the clan changed immediately.
This was when he finally knew how authoritative the clan head was, and how much the clan members respected him.
When Leroy said power-leveling him, the big turtle meant it. It was already 2 days since he was brought to the clan lair, and these 2 days already proved to be his best since coming to this world.
As soon as he accepted the proposal, he was personally led by Leroy to a secret location of the lair where he was not taken to before during the tour.
Compared to the main lair, this place hidden under the floor formation of corals was plain and mundane. Despite this, what Sebastian saw here brought his eyes to the verge of popping in shock.
During the tour a few minutes ago, he didn't notice it at first but when he was brought to the secret place, he noticed something.
The clan members of the clan were all fishes or sea creatures that had a certain strength to their name that was given by their bloodline.
Throughout the tour, he did not see a single one of his most frequent prey since he came here, the Blue Tang. Not only this, but a lot of other weak fish species like the Banded Butterflyfish, and the Blue-banded Goby.
When he asked, Leroy solemnly replied that only competent fellows were qualified to become a member of his clan. They needed power to survive in Oceania, allying with weak prey would make them weak.
According to Leroy, at various intervals, if food becomes scarce in the expanse, they migrated temporarily with the clan's army to other expanses where they could hunt food to bring back to the clan.
And in this secret place that Sebastian was brought to stood the foundation of the army, this was their base.
According to Leroy, most members of the army were already out hunting for the clan, but what presented itself to Sebastian still left him taken aback. He thought for a moment that he was taken to a U.S secret military base.
Of course, the forgemen, who were the crabs could not craft modern military weapons, but they were more than competent enough to craft mundane cold weapons.
At a section of the secret base, all that dominated here was roughly made metals, the ones made in that shape were too crude for Sebastian to call them a sword; it was an insult but they were still usable.
Not only in sword shapes, but dozens of other weapons also made roughly in shapes of hammers, spears, dominated this section of the base.
Sebastian had no idea how the soldiers who were fishes would be able to wield the weapons, but he didn't bother asking further about it. After all, Oceania is powered by magic.
Only the weapons were the exceptional army-like section in the base, the other parts were occupied by the army members that didn't go hunting.
Seeing the sea creatures that presented themselves before him, Sebastian suddenly felt inadequate from every fiber of his being.
He saw extremely large Tuna fish with super sharp fins attached to their enormous hides, Grouper fish whose heads already mutated to a shape similar to that of a hammer.
He had not witnessed it yet, but he didn't dare fantasize the scenario of being hit by such an enormous head. He easily guessed that the impact would be like being rammed by a truck.
He saw numerous wolf fish with teeth as long and sharp as daggers, he shuddered when this group of soldiers turned in his direction.
Seeing this originally deadly fish back on earth like this did not stab him much, what really killed his spirit was when he saw crayfish soldiers.
They were tinier than the other soldiers, just like on earth, but he did not dare underestimate these little devils. Unlike the others, they held their weapons with no intention to let them go despite a battle not currently going on.
Roughly made daggers, that was their weapons. When they saw Sebastian look their way, they swiped the daggers at the water menacingly to show this newcomer his place. Sebastian shuddered.
After getting him to meet his army, Leroy patted him on the back. "Sebastian, welcome to the Leroy clan army".
"Big Group is the commander, follow them and behave well, they'll help you stack up levels very soon".
After that, Leroy left, and Sebastian was left with the lunatic muscled fishes. Surprisingly, he wasn't harassed as he thought, they welcomed him amiably into their ranks and took him out to level up shortly after.
Now, here he was, a level 4 great white shark already.
Compared to when he leveled 2 times in a row after killing the highly leveled Tuna, the leveling speed was slow but according to Leroy, he was super-fast already.
According to him, the more highly leveled you are, the more experience it took to level up, and that it may be years before he leveled again at his level.
"Sebastian, want to go level up?"
Sebastian snapped out of his daze and turned his head to take a look. The owner of the voice was Spankster, the name was weird but she was the real deal. As a swordfish, she was one of the deadliest soldiers in the clan.
She was a fish above level 5 too, so she already has access to basic magic. When she activates her magic, it empowers her bill, making it super sharp and hot, enabling it to easily penetrate the thick hides and scales of her prey.
According to rumors that Sebastian heard during his stay here, she was among the top 5 strongest warriors of the army just below Big Group.
This brought him another conundrum; when he fought with Big Group, he didn't know then that the fellow was that strong. This made him realize how lucky he was, the Grouper fish was just playing with him then.
"You going?" She asked again.
Sebastian quickly snapped out of his daze. "Are you going alone?"
"No, this time I'm preparing for a small-scale war with the Sting Tail bastards. The clan needs more food to breed a develop batch of warriors, so we have to go beyond the normal this time".
"This will be your first war alongside us, so come along, you know the clan head has high expectations for you".
As she spoke, Sebastian noticed from the back about a cluster of 2 dozen soldiers of the clan coming from behind her. Seeing him, they greeted and he smoothly greeted back.
After 2 days staying here, he already adapted a lot.
Seeing them, he smiled as they all looked good to his eyes. One thing that he loved about the Leroy clan after he joined them was that they hated snakes even more than he did. A perfect bromance.
"Ok, let's go, I want to see how good these Sting Tail bastards are also".

Almost all the soldiers of the clan army had weapons, but Sebastian was among the minority that didn't have them. Of course, he complained, but they explained to him that he was not grown enough to wield one.
Big Group told him that when he finally met the requirements for his first evolution, that was when he would understand.
The army had 43 soldiers, most of them were always out hunting so Spankster wasn't able to amass a lot of them for the attack. Only 17 soldiers were available to go with her.
Big Group didn't go, as the Commander of the army, he had to act the part. Sebastian was once again speechless by how this Grouper learned such weird tendencies. But he couldn't know, magic powered Oceania Afterall.
As soon as they left the clan lair, they took to the more open parts of the expanse with no intention to hide their movements at all.
Despite the confidence that they had in themselves as part of the 2 leading powers of this expanse, they still sent some of the swiftest fishes to the front to act as scouts.
Following them, Sebastian felt weird. He's fantasized of himself being in the U.S army before but never had he fantasized of himself being in an army of fish. The world was really funny at times.
[You have activated skill: Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Electroreceptors.]
Sebastian kept these 2 skills active as he followed them. After having a lot of experiences and having done a lot of experiments while battling in the last 2 days, he already knew how best to utilize his sharky body casually and in battles.
During the past few days of hunting and power-leveling with the clan's army, he already amassed a sizeable number of skill points and adaptation points.
And yes, he finally bought the map from the f*cking system store.
The system didn't grant him access to the store yet, it said his access to get the map was a beginning bonus. For him to access the store permanently, he had to cross the great divide of getting to level 6.
According to Leroy, after the mutation to level 6, he would become a new species entirely. With these and a lot of other reasons, he felt the motivation to get to the sacred level 6 as soon as possible.
Suddenly stiffening, he felt his electroreceptor ability discovering a slight stir under him. Without thinking, he bit down.
Crunch!
[You have activated skill: Bite.]
[You have killed an Ocean Sunfish- Level 3: You have gained Experience points.]
[You have gained 1 Adaptation point.]
Not a single member of the army stirred on noticing his action, instead, they gave him a proud look that said- that's the kid we raised, what a strong warrior he is now.
Sebastian felt embarrassed being looked at like that, but he quickly shrugged it away. He was already used to such looks for the past few days.
Perhaps prompted by his action, one of the soldiers who was a Green Moray Eel decided that the silence among them was too much, so he decided to start giving his boring tales again.
Sebastian could feel practically every member of the army rolling their eyes as the shameless eel continued rambling on.
Unknowingly to them, as this happened, they already went a sizeable distance into the territory of the Sting Tail clan.
Sebastian's eyes twitched, he looked around and didn't see anything but he was sure that his electroreceptor ability discovered something a moment ago.
He tried to focus further, then he saw it contracting, then everything was revealed before his eyes.
"We're surrounded!" He yelled.
His teammates reacted, aggressive expressions dominating their faces immediately but the attack came much faster than expected.
Sebastian didn't know what it was, but he felt something like a rope rapidly wrapping and tightening around his tail. Without thinking, his mouth aggressively bit down on instinct.
[You have activated skill: Bite.]
He felt the rope-like thing loosen from his tail as he rapidly turned to look at his comrades.
Most of them were thrashing about as they were dragged by something looking like a rope. He squinted his eyes before they shone in realization the next moment.
"A carnivorous Plant!"
Perhaps, they've not had an encounter with one before, which was evident from the expression that was on his teammates' faces. Seeing it, he knew that he had to do something.
"I think it's an ambush, this is a carnivorous plant and I don't think it's working alone". As Sebastian yelled, he already rapidly swam forward to help a few of his teammates.
Perhaps, they understood him, perhaps they didn't but hearing him speak lit up bright lights in their eyes. Before they could react, 6 other opponents rapidly started swimming in their direction.
The opponents were a young viper, a Common Fangtooth, 2 Tunas, and 2 Blue Marlin. All 6 newcomers glided through the water in their direction with astonishing speed.
Seeing the newcomers, Spankster's face burned with hate. "Sting Tailers".
"Counterattack!"
She yelled before charging out the next moment. Her long pointed bill suddenly started glowing in the familiar light of magic power, it peaked before exploding the next moment as she collided with the young Viper.
They rolled, pushing the water aside as they both quickly entangled. Seeing this, chaos started immediately as the enemies from both sides hauled themselves at each other.
Sebastian felt like facepalming. This was the only defect that he saw in the Leroy clan army, they were too disorganized and chaotic in battles.
Well, everyone was battling, he couldn't be left out.
[You have activated skill: Dash Bite.]
He bit hard at one of the 2 Blue Marlins; the fellow reeled back in pain before quickly gathering momentum for a fierce battering ram. Sebastian tried to dodge but the Marlin was faster.
Its sharp bill swiftly cut through his flesh before he could react.
[You have been hit by a skill: Magic empowered bill cut.]
His brain was quickly stimulated by the pain. Letting out a deep sharky guttural growl, he hauled himself at the Blue Marlin again with his sharp teeth stabbing and snapping through the water menacingly like mechanical saws.
The carnivorous plant below them again tried to restrict his movements, but one snap of his jaws let his teeth cut its branches apart.
As he quickly got consumed by the adrenaline burst of battle, all his teammates already submerged themselves in the feeling also. They were winning, but reinforcement came the next moment in the form of 3 big Tuna fishes.
A war of fish clans began.

[You have killed a Blue Marlin Fish- Level 9: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 2 Adaptation Points.]
[You have gained an additional 1 Adaptation Point for killing a fish of new species.]
[You have gained 4 Skill Points.]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 5.]
[You have gained an additional 2 Adaptation Points and 2 Skill Points.]
A bloodied Sebastian let out a bubbly roar of fulfillment after finally killing his prey. The Blue Marlin being higher leveled than him gave him a hard time, its bills punctured a lot of injuries through his body already.
Gaining 4 SP after killing it did not surprise him at all, he expended a lot of effort and used his skills a lot before the opponent finally succumbed to his deadly bites.
Hearing the notification that he just leveled up only made him more frenzied.
According to the information that he learned for the past few days, after getting to this level, all he had to do was fill it up with experience to prepare for the great divide breakthrough.
He felt excited, but he held himself back from acting impulsively as he was currently heavily injured. His fellow clan soldiers were battling hard with the Sting Tailers, he had to recover and join them fast.
Quickly bringing his head down, he started chomping on the flesh of the Blue Marlin fish. In just a little more than a minute, he finished the whole food.
[You have eaten the flesh of a new fish species: You have unlocked basic profile information of the Blue Marlin fish.]
[You have gained an additional 1 Adaptation point for eating a fish of new species.]
Eating could not heal him, but it could energize him and it would make his self-recovery organ kickstart and begin its work. This way, as time went on, he would slowly start recovering his health.
As the war was going on for 5 minutes already, lower-level members of the Sting Tail clan that were not soldiers were already coming to join the show. These were the easy prey.
Chomp!
[You have activated skill: Bite.]
[You have activated skill: Tail fin attack.]
[You have killed a Salmon Fish- Level 6: You have gained Experience.]
With just one bite and his tail fin attack, Sebastian easily dissected the Salmon fish into 2. He didn't eat it immediately though, activating his swim skill, he rapidly swam to meet other prey.
He kept on biting left and right while complimenting his attacks with his dorsal and tail fin attack skills as he killed enemy fishes without a care of the world.
With his electroreceptor skill always active, none of the filthy enemies could ambush him. He moved like he was omniscient and could see everywhere, his prints were everywhere on the battlefield.
A crab tried to stab and tackle him from below but with his dash skill, he quickly dodged, coming back he bit down viciously.
Crack!
It didn't go through, but no problem. He bit again and the crab's shell cracked further, before it could attack, Sebastian bit for the third time and it finally succumbed. With one crunch, he ate its delicious meat.
As Sebastian wreaked havoc on the battlefield, he noticed that the plant that was underneath was causing him and his teammates a lot of trouble. Especially Spankster, she was unimaginably irritated now as she has not been able to kill the much younger viper since.
Seeing this, Sebastian being the only rational one among the soldiers decided to make the rational decision. He left the battlefield and swam lower to look for the plant.
Whoosh!
He reacted fast, activating his dash skill to escape the attack as the tentacle-like branches of the plant quickly lashed out at him.
Keeping his dash skill active while activating both his tail fin and dorsal fin attack skill, he dove down straight through the tentacles, cutting his way through like nothing in the world could stop him.
Then…
Whip! Whip!
The originally harmless branches that only dragged prey suddenly grew sharp barbs after Sebastian swam deep enough. He hissed as the barbs viciously cut into his sharky skin, but this did not make him retreat.
Chomp! Chomp!
The noise sharply swept past his ears as he bit savagely back at the tentacle branches. This was one of the rules of Oceania that he learned during his 2 days here; blood for blood, bite for bite, the weaker one succumbs.
Ignoring the blood that was gushing from his body, he bit, cut with his tails as he swam deeper to locate the main body of the plant. It retaliated hard but he did not stop for once.
About 2 minutes later, he finally located it. It was like a Venus flytrap, the only difference was the tentacle branches and that it was far bigger.
Not here to watch a movie, Sebastian quickly dashed at it. The mouth of the plant tried to snap him shut-in when he came close, but compared to a plant, his teeth were far sharper and deadlier.
Chomp!
A few minutes later, he swam back up bloodied all over again.
[You have killed a Tentacle Venus Fly Trap- Level 13: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained…]
Ignoring the notifications, he went back up to converge with his teammates and continue their war. As soon as the plant died, the effects became obvious immediately.
He and his teammates steamrolled their opponents, chomping down left and right as they cleared a path through their blood and flesh.
Spankster let out a victorious cry as soon as she punctured the young Viper to death, her magic power surrounding her bill only made her look more powerful and dreadful.
Despite feeling full of herself, Sebastian was surprised to know that she recognized what he did. She thanked him for killing the plant before bolting forward to catch more prey the next moment.
They battled for 4 hours, killing prey wantonly through the region of the Sting Tail clan. They would have continued the war, but Spankster ordered an immediate retreat when the army of the Sting Tailers finally mobilized.
They retreated, but they were undoubtedly the winners of the battle. And Sebastian was super happy, this war brought him a lot of benefits like the current notification of the system.
[Congratulations: You have reached the limits of the 1st level cap; you can proceed to attempt a breakthrough. Your chances of success are 75%.]
Sebastian was practically grinning like a fool as he helped his clan members carry the food that they hunted back to the clan, the war resulted in a haul of food that could take them long to devour completely.
Overall, the war was a complete success.

From afar, the clan members of the Leroy clan saw their soldiers coming back home from war. They didn't react at first, but when they saw loads of food being hauled back, the whole clan reacted.
"Food!" "Food!" They chanted excitedly.
Even the baby fishes in the clan joined their parents as they chanted excitedly. They seemed to be welcoming the soldiers, but the food was what they were actually welcoming.
Seeing this scene, Sebastian was completely speechless. "You guys can't even appreciate our efforts a bit? Meh!"
Looking around, he was surprised to see that he was the only one who felt it. For the other soldiers, maybe they just didn't care, but they revealed wide grins on their fishy faces as their clan members chanted excitedly.
Sebastian looked, flabbergasted. As he looked, his eyes suddenly clashed with 2 of the soldiers that he didn't want to see at all.
The 2 twins crayfish, Ray and Fay. These 2 guys with their daggers, from the first day, that Sebastian joined the clan's army he didn't know why but these 2 just loved harassing him.
Clack!
Noticing that his attention was on them, they clapped their daggers intimidatingly. Sebastian shuddered; intimidated, he lowered his head and turned away.
"What a poor life I'm living! Just wait, after I evolve, I'll see if you'll have the guts to do that to me again".
After they swam through the crowd of clan members who helped them take all the food to the chef chamber, they finally all retreated to their base. It was there that a death count was finally made.
Like Sebastian expected, some of the fish soldiers died, precisely 4 of them during the just concluded clan war.
Like he already experienced for the past few days, none of the fish soldiers showed sorrow for their dead comrades. Perhaps they were just too dumb to feel that way, but Sebastian still felt spooked.
"What if I died today, they'll not even remember me too?" He shuddered, feeling insecure all of a sudden.
As the soldiers went to their various corners to sleep and rest their aching muscles from the battle, Sebastian went to meet Spankster. He told her the good news that he was ready to evolve, and that he wanted to start his breakthrough now.
"You reached the pinnacle of level 5 already?" Her fishy eyes widened.
Sebastian blushed a bit. "Is anything wrong?"
"No, I just thought it was fast, faster than anything I've seen before. Don't worry, you can go breakthrough, let me rush to tell the clan head about it".
"Ok, thanks". Sebastian waved his fin at her before turning to go to his own corner of the army base.
It was not anything complicated, just a slightly isolated corner in the room that was decked with the few rare corals that barely glowed compared to the others.
He felt anticipation as he hovered atop his rest place. Ready for his breakthrough, his body quickly entered the rest state as he now gave all his attention to his system.
"System, give it to me".
[Proceed with breakthrough attempt: Yes/No?]
"Yes".
[Breakthrough mechanisms have been put in place. Stabilizing host…, host has been stabilized.]
[Mental check: Pass.]
[Physical check: Pass.]
[All parameters for evolution are complete, host's consciousness will now be drawn into the illusion realm.]
As soon as the system completed what it was saying, Sebastian suddenly felt like a needle was pricked inside his brain. He tried to yell out but the sound that came out of his mouth seemed far yet close.
The sound just kept on echoing in his head, making him dizzy.
The next moment, he felt like his consciousness was pulled out of his body. The familiar environment of the Leroy clan lair suddenly disappeared, then it was replaced by a pure white background environment.
The background was static at first but it suddenly started moving rapidly. Sebastian's eyes dazed, he felt like he was on a rollercoaster ride or in a portal that was about to take him somewhere unknown.
The light kept on getting brighter and the background moved faster. It got to a point where all he saw was dizzying white moving across his vision, then the color suddenly spiked, becoming that of a rainbow.
He squinted his eyes to protect them, then everything became black. He was gone, his consciousness was gone.
…
"Since when did his evolution start?" Leroy hovered at the top of the army base, looking down at Sebastian who hovered motionlessly at a corner of the water.
"Approximately 40 minutes ago". Swordfish quickly replied.
"Ok".
Looking down at the great white shark that was below him, Leroy felt a lot of things going through his mind. It was a risky move on his part bringing such a potentially dangerous predator into his clan lair.
Sebastian even exceeded his expectation, the young shark leveled up faster than he predicted. This was supposed to make him happy, but he couldn't, he instead felt worried that he may have invited a dragon into his clan for help.
Though at just level 6, Sebastian could not overpower him, it would be hard for him to completely suppress the shark too.
Sharks, most especially great white sharks were known all over Oceania for their prowess and leveling speed. They were among the pinnacle bloodline carriers; they were the predators while every other creature here was prey.
He really wanted to kill Sebastian as he slept now, at least that will prevent this young shark from turning into a disaster after waking up.
His rational mind told him to do this, but he could not bring himself to do it. This was not because he had a liking for Sebastian, that would be just plain weird. It was because of some news that got to him a few days ago.
According to his secret scouts, his long-time rival broke the truce between them and looked for a predator reinforcement from outside the expanse.
When he heard this, he was shocked. If he didn't move fast, his clan may be annihilated the next moment. This was why he took the risk of taking Sebastian in despite the terrible consequences that may follow.
He sighed.. "I hope that I made the right decision this time".

Blink!
Sebastian felt like holding his head right now as it was aching badly. He felt like drums were being beaten loudly on his head, it was weird. Everywhere around him was covered by darkness, it was a little spooky.
He like he just fell into a reincarnation cycle that was going on for thousands of lifetimes, and he was just waking up.
"Is this the Samsara bullshit that's promoted in those cultivation novels? But I hardly gained any increase in power, what a scam".
As he grumbled, he keenly noticed the darkness around him suddenly begin to fade. His eyes widened, relief shining in them as he was already getting fed up with the darkness all about.
When he finally saw light, the first thing that he noticed was that he didn't return to the Leroy clan lair. This was the same region though, from the color induced by the magic essence, he recognized that he was still in the Green Mist region.
The only problem was that he could not feel his body, he was like a spirit phasing in and out of existence like a phantom. He tried waving his tail fin but he felt no nerve feedback.
"I'm just here as a spectator?"
After doing a few more experiments, he came to this conclusion as he could touch nothing here, nor could he hear. He was just like a spectator, he was not inside this place, he was only watching it.
His vision suddenly flashed, and everything changed.
He was shocked as the vacant expanse of water before him suddenly became populated by sea creatures, and not just any sea creatures, sharks! Great white sharks like him filled the whole expanse all of a sudden.
He didn't know why he felt so, but seeing the bustling community of sharks, his intuition suddenly told him that this was his home. This was his family.
He didn't know how the hell he got here or how he even located it, but he was pretty sure that his intuition was right.
From his elevated position above the shark community below, he could see a lot. The community looked more like a city, he could not see its ends as sharks went on with various activities back and forth.
Ocean flowers and vegetation dominated most of the territory, but he thought he saw some marvels of technology too.
He could see dome-shaped platforms which seemed like the building settlement of the sharks. He could see metals built into various ingenious shapes, but he could not see further as his vision was strangely fuzzy.
The details were so many, making him feel like he just ascended into heaven. The only annoying thing was his fuzzy vision, it made his visual effect of the sight a lot less beautiful.
He tried to look closer but everything suddenly became a blur.
He let out a curse involuntarily on seeing that. Suppressing his frustration, he decided to ignore the more fascinating details among the community and decided to focus on the sharks themselves.
They were all like him, the only difference was their size. They were far bigger and more deadly-looking than he was, and their speed was the real deal as they swam across the ocean, leaving afterimages behind.
Sebastian's mouth was left open widely; he was sincerely amazed.
"Hiss…"
He suddenly yelped in shock as an enormous shark suddenly broke out from a hidden location, none of the smaller ones stirred as this big fellow swam away leisurely.
"What a big…, shark!"
He wouldn't have reacted so intensely if it was a normal big shark, but from the sight, he was sure that this great white was almost 20 times bigger than the current him.
20 times…, 20 times, it was outrageous and in no way scientifically possible. As his train of thought took this route, he keenly stirred himself away; Afterall, Oceania was powered by magic.
Another fact that he observed was that this shark was far more evolved than the others.
Its fins were bigger and they looked as sharp as swords, it had 2 pairs of spikes jutting out of its sides, making it look super menacing and its teeth were longer than Sebastian's current body.
He was sincerely shocked.
As he continued his tourist view of this shark community, he let out an annoyed sound as everything was suddenly cut away from him again.
The sight flipped before him the same way a movie moved across scenes. The next moment, everything was replaced by a single shark. A young shark, just like him.
He didn't know why but seeing this shark, he felt a sense of déjà vu and one important name came to his mind. "Father?"
The shark suddenly turned to face him. He was shocked, as he was about to wave at it the shark suddenly turned and swam away like it didn't even see him.
Warp!
His vision changed again; it was just like fast-forwarding a movie. He felt like he was watching a history blockbuster movie in a full movie theater. The movie was about the life of his father.
The young shark woke up alone like him. Stranded and alone on the boundless ocean, it only took it a day to know the cruelty of its world as it was almost killed by a crocodile.
From that day, it finally knew to adapt to its world. It learned the rules of Oceania faster than expected. Blood for blood; flesh for flesh, that became its motto.
Just like a protagonist of a movie, it began the struggle of life from its first day after coming to this world as a shark.
It fought enemies daily; starting with juveniles like Tuna, turtles, before graduating to the masters like highly evolved Crocodiles, other species of sharks, most especially whale sharks, and even Dragons.
It's most fierce battle that almost led to its death was against a fire-breathing Dragon, the dragon fellow's high-temperature fire could basically evaporate the water.
Watching the battle as a spectator, Sebastian felt goosebumps creeping through him throughout its duration.
After killing a lot of powerful and dangerous foes, it finally reunited with its family. Still, in the family, the carnage was not over.
It fought against a lot of other siblings both in the incarnation tournament and in the battle to elect the new family head after they became matured sharks.
It went through blood, fire, pain, and breakdowns, but it never gave up. In the end, its efforts paid, and it was finally crowned as the new family head.
During its eventful journey, it evolved a lot of times and its appearance changed a lot also. Sebastian very much wanted to see his father's current form, but his messed-up sight refused to cooperate.
As he cursed angrily while thrashing about, he heard the familiar voice of his system again, making him pause.
[Host has experienced the illusion realm: The history of the alpha shark has been told; you have to forge your own path now.]
[Evolution will start in 10 seconds.]
[You will be given a lot of options; choose wisely.]
"I…"
Sebastian wanted to comment but he was cut off ruthlessly.. He felt a prick in his brain again, he experienced the same moving through a portal-like feeling before everywhere became darkness again.

Sebastian blinked his eyes open only to see the darkness purged away again, now it was replaced by beautiful rainbow lights illuminating the surrounding.
He was now in some sort of clouds. He tried to turn his head and observe more, but he was surprised as his system's words were suddenly projected before him on the clouds in a blue screen.
Despite the words already being projected before him, the system was not negligent as it still diligently told them to him.
[Host's evolution process has started. You have only 30 minutes to contemplate and make the choices that you want for your evolution route.]
[Due to you having reached the threshold of level 5, you have unlocked a few new main perks of the system.]
[Main system store has been unlocked for host's use.]
[Evolution system store has been unlocked for host's use during breakthroughs.]
[Lottery wheel has been unlocked for host's use. {Terms and conditions apply for usage}.]
[The Evolution system store is currently available for host's use. Your remaining evolution time- 29: 47.]
[Make your choices.]
Sebastian originally wanted to take his time and explore but on seeing the time that was slowly counting, he put all those luxury thoughts away and started groping around wildly.
After a few pokes and pushes, he finally got a hang of the evolution process a bit. He hesitated. "System, show me the evolution store and my options".
[Affirmative! Evolution system store has been actively accessed.]
[Host evolution options are as follows]
- Teenage Great White- Shark.
- Mature Hammerhead Shark.
- Mature Maco Shark.
[Host skill options for current evolution route: Bite; Swim; Dash; Sharp Dorsal Fin; Tail Fin; Electroreceptors.]
[Host should choose any of the above options to decide on a personalized evolution route.]
Seeing this, Sebastian came to a realization. Before choosing, he decided to check his current attributes first. He checked the time first; after confirming that he still had time he ordered the system.
"Show me my status".
[Affirmative!]

Sebastian was not surprised seeing this. Compared to when he was just born into this magical world, he experienced some increase in his attributes, and his skills improved a lot too after repeated usage.
He also amassed a lot of skill points and Adaptation points during this period, he was not killing prey for the past 2 days for free.
After he joined the Leroy clan, that was when he noticed that whenever he leveled up, his attributes increased though only slightly.
Compared to the 2.5 power that he started with, he now had 2.8. It was a small increase, but it was something.
According to Leroy, these were just negligible increases, after he evolved that was when he would experience considerable growth.
"Give me the bite skill first". He decided to tackle his skill options first before tackling his evolution option.
His evolution route would determine what he became in the future, he had to be patient and thorough about it.
[Affirmative.]
As soon as the system replied, the screen before him suddenly elongated and fell down like a virtual slide. The other skills disappeared, leaving the Bite skill, then the options showed up.
His eyes didn't widen, but his mind ballooned in shock as he saw a lot of new forms that he could evolve his bite skill to, of course, he had to spend his skill points to purchase them.
He saw new forms such as Smashing bite; the teeth would be blunter but will carry much force for each bite. He saw others in the form of Shredding bite, Stabbing bite, and even Tickling Bite, the options were numerous.
He felt like a kid who came to a grocery store alone for the first time, his eyes just kept darting from one to the other in amazement.
Despite how numerous they were, he arrived at his choice almost immediately. "I choose the Magic Shredding bite".
As soon as Sebastian made his choice, instead of proceeding, the system rather took him to a slide that he's been anticipating since he found out about magic in this world.
[Before host can access the Magic Shredding bite skill, you need to purchase the magic mutation organ.]
[Magic mutation organ.]
[Magic type: Physical. Cost: 150 Adaptation points.]
[Magic type: Material or External. Cost: 170 Adaptation points.]
Seeing this, Sebastian was not confused as Leroy already explained everything to him. Magic in Oceania was divided into 2 types or categories, physical and material.
Material magic was the normal one that Sebastian was familiar with in movies. Mages hauling spells at opponents, something like that was the focus of the material magic type.
For the physical magic type, it was more focused on self-buffing but much more badass and complicated than that. It was the type that was used by battlemages, the close combat types.
Before starting his breakthrough, he already thought through all his choices and made his decision.
Flinging spells at opponents was exciting, but Sebastian was pretty sure that the power exerted by such spells when he was still low-leveled would be limited.
He trusted his own teeth more than any spells. Instead of flinging spells at opponents, why not empower his sharp teeth with magic to enable them to do the job better? He loved that better, close and personal.
There was the option to buy both types of magic organs at once, but the sheer amount of Adaptation points needed to purchase them both deterred him. Perhaps, he would buy the next one when he evolved next.
He made his move.
[You have purchased Adaptation: Magic organ- Physical.]
As soon as Sebastian purchased this, he finally had access to the full repertoire of evolution upgrades that were available for his skills.
The options were too numerous for him to count, but he quickly simplified everything as he was being timed. With the few Skill points that he had; he purchased all the new skills that he wanted.
New skills in this concept were basically upgrades for his old skills, his current evolution only gave him 3 slots for new skill purchases.
[You have purchased Skills: Shredding Bite, Triple Reverse Swim, Advanced Dash, Empowered Tail fin, Empowered Dorsal fin, Electroreceptors, Spike attack, Battering ram, Magic Teeth.]
[You have purchased Adaptations: Spikes, Hard Dense Skin, Vampire Teeth, Mana Conductor Coating, Magic Organ.]
The skills were as written, they were all empowered by magic. The shredding bite skill enabled him to power his teeth with magic, and it was more adapted to tearing enemy flesh apart.
The Triple Reverse swim enabled him to swim faster, and with it, he could perform back swims and lots of other water maneuvers.
The Advanced dash was a better version of the dash skill. The empowered Dorsal and Tail fin used the same logic, the electroreceptors were the same, it would become more potent as it would be empowered by magic.
The spike and battering ram attack were new skills, he's not used them yet but he was sure that they were as written. He decided to take them in consideration of the new adaptations that he purchased.
For the Magic Teeth, he was not sure yet until he saw it, but his gut feeling told him that it was probably like throwing daggers, but instead of daggers, it would be his teeth this time.
For his upgraded skills, according to what Leroy explained to him, he could only access the upgraded bite and swim skills.
For the others, until he leveled them up to the max level of 5, he couldn't make use of their upgraded versions. Despite this, he still bought their upgraded versions in reserve for the day they finally leveled up to the max.
For the new adaptations that he bought, unlike skills, they were more like mutations to his body. He didn't know how they would be, he felt anticipation to see his new look after all these adaptations.
He got the inspiration for the spikes adaptation after the peep he got into his family home. For the hard dense skin, it was a tougher skin that would grant him significantly more defense.
The Vampire teeth were as written; when he bit into opponents, they would start losing more health points passively as time went on.
His magic organ, according to the system's description was like his second heart, but it would pump mana into him instead of blood.
The mana conductor coating was like a copper wire to the mana, it would enable easier and more efficient transportation of mana to any parts of his sharky body that needed it.
Honestly, he was practically shaking with excitement just imagining what he could do after all these new add-ons.
He still had some skill points and some adaptation points, but they were not enough to purchase other mutations and skills that he wanted, so he finally withdrew.
Checking the time, he was relieved that he still had 5 minutes. For his main evolution, he already made his choice before the option for purchasing adaptations opened to him.
[You have chosen your evolution route: Teenage Great White- Shark.]
[Would you like to confirm your choices?]
Sebastian did not hesitate. "Yes!"
His vision darkened the next moment like he was knocked out, the evolution finally began.

Rustle! Rustle!
The leaves of the flowers gently swayed to the rhythm of the water flow; they flaunted their beautiful flower frames like female models back on earth.
Leroy hovered in the water; eyes focused like those of an eagle's watching his prey as he watched his target with undivided attention. The rustling movements of the flowers did not affect him at all.
From his vantage position at the top of his army's base, he had all the right angles to observe the evolving Sebastian thoroughly.
It was already 40 minutes since the great white shark closed his eyes to start his evolution, and in these few minutes, Leroy was already detecting some significant changes in its body.
It was not obvious, but as he's been looking at Sebastian since without blinking, he knew that the shark had gained some few pounds of flesh.
He knew of evolutions; he's evolved 3 times so he knew how random the choices were. In a sense, evolving was just like gambling, you make choices but you don't have a definite idea of the end results.
He didn't know the choices that Sebastian would take, but he somehow felt that the shark would make stupid choices.
He was worried that Sebastian would change and go against him after waking up, and he was also worried that Sebastian would remain as his ally but would make stupid evolution options, making him weaker than expected.
Well, as he's not seen Sebastian suddenly growing an extra pair of eyes or ears yet, or even the pee-pee thing, that meant that everything was still ok for now. He heaved a sigh of relief.
As he looked on, he suddenly felt the water stir at the entrance to the base. Turning his head, he saw his most loyal companion, Big Group, swimming in leisurely.
"Clan head". The Grouper fish greeted respectfully.
Leroy nodded back with a smile before beckoning the fish closer. They became still and just hovered there, calmly watching the great white shark as it underwent its evolution.
Big Group suddenly inclined his fishy head and asked a question. "Will he be stronger than me after he evolves?"
Leroy was caught off guard by that question, turning to see the reaction on the Grouper fish's face he laughed. "I don't know, but even if he becomes as strong as you, he'll surely not be able to kill you yet".
"Ok". The fish shook its tail, clearly contented with the answer.
"I wonder what magic type he'll choose". Seeing the fish relax by his side contentedly, Leroy sighed and went into contemplation.
This was not the only thought in his mind though. "I wonder what big plan Sting Tail is cooking up, I hope my preparations are enough. Sigh! In the end its never enough"
Time slowly flowed as the both of them faithfully hovered there, waiting for the evolving shark. They didn't tell stories, they didn't even talk again, they just engaged in a silent observation like a spectator in a movie.
As Leroy's eyelids slowly became heavy, he was jolted awake.
Boom!
His eyes suddenly opened wide, alert shining from its depths as the viciousness of a hunter shone in them for a moment before quickly calming down.
Big Group was already awake too as he let out weird noises from its mouth that felt like growling. Both of them didn't talk, they just observed the weed that was slowly dropping from the roof of this base under the coral floor.
They didn't have to wait long to hear another.
Boom!
"What's happening? Leroy finally frowned as its turtle hands curled and stretched tautly like it was tense.
The next moment, one of the members of the Leroy clan soldiers swam into the base at a high speed. "Clan head, we're under attack".
"Who?"
"The Sting Tail clan".
Leroy's expression became heavy. Having sudden attacks from their enemies was not a weird occurrence to them, but he felt that this one was different. Something was wrong.
"Take me there". He muttered gravely.
…
Snap! Crunch!
Blood flowed everywhere, dying the water in a shade of dark red as fishes and sea creatures clashed without a care of the world. Bites, cuts, magic attacks, every one of them could be seen on the battlefield.
The Leroy clan lair was a scene of carnage. The attack came too fast for them to react properly, they vastly underestimated the force that their sworn enemies came with.
Looking at the scene before him, Leroy felt his face burn with rage. Not only did Sting Tail violate their agreement, but he also violated it completely.
In the ongoing battlefield, apart from the disproportionate number of stingrays on the attacker's side, they had an overwhelming amount of water snakes accompanying them also.
Leroy laughed bitterly. "I should have known, he actually cooperated with the Viper clan".
His clan was not too big in the first place, now that they were faced with such overwhelming odds, they crumbled completely. His soldier's death count was already climbing into the dozens, not to talk of his normal clan members.
The beautiful scenery of the clan lair was already desecrated, now it was just a fragment of its former self.
Big Group already left his side to join the battle since he was the commander of his army, only his personal guard of battle turtles was currently with him. They were 6 guards in total.
At the back of the enemies' soldiers and clan members stood his most hated enemy, Sting Tail. The huge Stingray hovered at the back of his clan, enjoying the scene of his clan members dominating the battlefield.
Beside the stingray slithered an enormous Viper, its tongue flickered incessantly, spreading mist as the evil venom in it made the water bubble energetically.
This was the ruler of the Viper clan. This clan was not in this expanse, their lair was located at the other expanse deep inside the other narrow tunnels.
Normally, clans from the 3 tunnels hardly communicated as they all hated each other, but Sting Tail and this vicious Viper clearly didn't give a damn to the unquoted rule.
Seeing his clan members die while his most hated enemy enjoyed the scene, Leroy felt outraged. Taking a deep breath to calm his mind, he turned to his chief guard.
"Get me my battle gear".
"But clan head, you said that you'll wait for the shark before going out to battle". The chief guard hesitated.
Leroy laughed. "Can't you see it?" He spread his frontmost pair of hands.
"Our hopes of winning are as good as nil; we have no hope of surviving".
He grinned. "But this does not mean that we can cower though, we have to bite them hard so that they can remember who we were".
The ferocity in his face did not drop a bit, but he lowered his voice as he said this. "When Sebastian wakes up, tell him that our agreement is void. Tell him that he can look for a way to escape this predicament himself".
"Ok, clan head". The chief guard answered solemnly before going to the armory to fetch his leader's battle gear.
As Leroy waited, he felt his blood burn hot. He's lived years, and throughout his years his most precious thing in this world was his clan. He was not about to allow it to evaporate before him.
If his clan was to die today, he had to die first.

It did not take long before Leroy's chief guard brought his battle gear. The gear consisted of heavy armor to cover his shell and 6 battle hammers. That was all, but after he donned it, he looked like a medieval knight in armor.
This gear was his most valuable possession. During his years of wandering, he had this forged in the great city of crabs- the master forgers.
Legend says that the crabs have even more of a talent for forging than the best craftsmen of Atlantis. Some people believe that this is a myth, but Leroy believed otherwise, having used this gear for 2 decades already.
He rubbed the armor with his scaly hands. "Buddy, let's go smash them one last time".
He jumped from the vantage point of his clan head chair the next moment. With the hammers held tightly in his hand, he started swimming rapidly in the direction of the ongoing battlefield.
He was too big for others not to notice him, not that he cared though as he bulldozed a pathway through his clan members straight to where the opposing clan members were clustered.
As their clan head rushed out, his loyal guards did not slack as they also swam out in pursuit of him. They were not geared for battle like him, but they similarly had their own weapons of war.
Getting to the main part of the battlefield, Leroy's body suddenly started glowing a pure white. Extra scales filled his turtle body, his body seemed to have expanded as his grip on all 4 hammers became firmer. Then…
Boom!
The water swept away like a flood, carrying astonishing power with it as all 6 hammers smashed down at the same time. All 5 fishes that stood on his part directly burst into a mixture of blood and mutilated flesh.
Clack!
Leroy felt a wolffish's sharp teeth biting on his back immediately, but his magical shield repelled it. Smoothly turning around, he waved one of the hammers and easily swatted the fellow the death.
The Sting tailers recognized the leader of their enemies immediately upon seeing him. Despite being vastly weaker than him, the brainless fishes still hauled themselves at him and Leroy was ready to crush them all.
Whoosh!
He didn't even need to swim, a magic field surrounded him that navigated him to wherever he wanted to go. All he had to do was swing his hammers, and they effectively did the smashing job.
He became the shining light of the battlefield soon after showing up, smashing left and right as he penetrated deeper into the ranks of fishes and sea creatures.
From his fighting style, it was clear that he had only the material magic organ. His magics were mainly used to affect his surroundings, not directly used on himself as buffs.
He didn't have impressive magic like throwing fireballs or lightning because of his low-tier bloodline, but the ones he had as a turtle were still impressive.
As he killed, he especially targeted the stingrays among the enemies, he hated them the most as they were the cousins of his archenemy.
He wasn't the only shining light on the battlefield though, Big Group leading his troop of elite soldiers equally fought ferociously as they exchanged blows with the soldiers of the Sting Tail clan.
Unlike his master, Big Group had the physical magic organ. All his attacks were empowered by magic, his bites harder and more vicious, his hits heavier, everything about him had that extra more.
Crunch!
He quickly rotated his body and attacked behind, crushing the poor codfish to death with his sucking-like magic ability.
His lack of impressive teeth for biting, he complimented for them with his strong body for battering attacks and his sucking like magic ability. None of his skills were weak, they could deal astronomical damage to opponents.
All around him, his soldiers were not idle as they attacked the opponents fiercely. They were clearly outnumbered, compared to the opponents they were dying faster but they never contemplated retreating.
Fight till you die, then you get rest; that was their motto.
Back in Leroy's side, as the euphoric feeling of battle gradually took over him, he suddenly stiffened as he felt 2 sharp gazes on his back. The Viper and his ultimate enemy were finally making their move.
He did not cower, he did not try to scheme anything, he just steered his swimming direction around as his magic propelled him forward like he was an underwater speed boat.
Coming in his direction was the long Viper with no weapon, its body, and venom was its best weapon. As for his archenemy, the stingray, its magic, and tail were its best weapon though it was also clothed in special armor.
As soon as they came close enough, Leroy suddenly released his hammers and folded his body inside his shell.
Hum!
The hammers did not fly away, with a strange sound they were controlled by his magic as they swiped wildly at the water. Suddenly, his shell started rotating at an extremely high speed.
His white magic power covered his shell, it grew brighter and brighter before his shell rushed forward the next moment.
Already anticipating it, the stingray dodged on time but one of the enormous hammers still hammered him on the head.
This did not prevent it from retaliating though, its dangerous tail calmly calculated the swim speed and trajectory before stabbing forward the next moment.
Bzzz!
The tail entered the hole in between Leroy's shells and touched his body. He shuddered as electrical current went through him, making him stiffen. Before he could recover, he felt the viper rapidly wrapping around his shell.
He activated his magic ability immediately.
His shell vibrated like a super machine, sending tyrannical shockwaves through his armor to the snake's body as the fellow quickly gave up and let him go.
When the Viper finally recovered from the shock and turned back, the turtle was nowhere to be found. The stingray tried to alert her but was not fast enough, all 6 of Leroy's hammers came smashing down.
Bam! Straight to the head!
Stars practically filled the Viper's head as the magic empowered hammers slammed down at her head hard. Before she could recover, Leroy still hidden in his shell appeared and slammed at her again.
After doing this, Leroy suddenly stiffened and tried to dodge but he was not fast enough.
Having charged the electricity mana, the stingray opened its mouth wide and shot it out. Leroy groaned as the electric bolt penetrated his armor into his shell before quickly spreading to the rest parts of his body like slithering snakes.
The stingray rapidly swam closer for a sting as electricity crackled around it, before it could get close Leroy disappeared again. This was the same magic skill that he used to spook Sebastian during their first meeting.
As the stingray was on guard against it, when Leroy reappeared, he was not able to do anything. As he tried to reorient himself for another battle strategy, he felt a pair of sharp fangs digging into his hard shell.
The Viper quickly wrapped him up again, this time faster than he could react as it started squeezing immediately. Cracking sounds reverberated.
Leroy felt the pressure but he did not succumb, he could see the stingray swimming closer but this did not bring him to the edge of despair. The conviction still shone in his eyes, conviction to try harder.
Boom! His bright magic power flared again and knocked hard at the Viper's hard skin, penetrating a few parts like magic daggers were drilled through it.
As soon as he escaped from the Viper's grip, he did not run, he immediately turned back and their battle began again.
