"…"
For a moment there, Sebastian suspected that the system was taking a jab at the fact that he had 2 of those which left him blushing at the thought each time but he quickly forgot it.
The system already helped him so much that it was ok with him to let it talk senselessly at times, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He decided not to pay attention to it, but in his mind. "Damn! Those monsters are actually such an abomination!"
Putting that aside, he confirmed his guess that this catacomb was related to the Necromancy King from the basic profile information.
Despite all the risks involved, he was satisfied as he got another clue to one of his future opponents but he could not help but come back to the fact that his body was now aching in pain all over.
Though his decisive actions enabled him to swiftly kill the Abomination monster, it still dealt significant damage to him.
And the fact that he did not get to eat its meat and assimilate its magic essence meant that his injuries could only recover normally, not that he was interested in such disgusting meat though.
"Wait, recovery, I have a damn skill for that".
Quickly coming to this discovery, he disparaged his intelligence for forgetting such basic information before he activated the skill.
[You have activated magic skill: Rejuvenation.]
Immediately, he felt his body being wrapped by his green magic glow. He felt his body become warm and cozy, he felt like he was in the embrace of his mom when he quickly snapped out of it.
Scrutinizing his body with his electroreceptors, he was surprised that all the injuries in his body were gone, and the pain too, only leaving a slight itch.
"Damn, this is magical".
While feeling happy, he started towing his huge body from the scene.
From the dimming sight of the green light ever illuminating the world before him, he easily deduced that this was night again in Oceania.
He already hunted and ate to his satisfaction, exploring deep into the seamount in the process and discovering the catacombs. To him, that was a nice achievement for one day.
Right now, all he wanted to do was rest his body. Perhaps, it was the aftereffects of the rejuvenation skill but he suddenly felt lazy, not willing to do any other thing else but sleep.
He didn't fight it, he went to sleep.
[You have triggered Adaptation: Camouflage organ.]
Once again, he turned his skill color to blend with that of an enormous tree before falling asleep beside it.
Sebastian slept for a long time, even dreaming of himself returning to earth and he surprisingly brought a Death Dragon back with him.
With such a sea creature that could only exist in myths beside him, he gained reverence from his colleagues as they watched him with fervent gazes while he dissected the beast with a smile.
As soon as he cut through its abdomen completely, he froze as he saw what seemed like a smiley face emoji inside its belly.
Without warning, the Death Dragon's organ stood up and pissed all over his face. Then, the smiley face revealed teeth and started laughing loudly.
Gripped by horror, he staggered backward then the dream shattered.
…
Scratch! Scratch!
"F*ck! Smiley face, leave me alone!"
Sebastian roared in fear as he quickly woke up from his sleep on hearing the sound. The dream was still visible in his head, making him feel like invisible smiley faces were around him, secretly laughing at him.
As he observed in fear while his eyes adapted to his surroundings, a weird expression clouded his face as he remembered what he had just done.
Due to his roar, the scratching sound suddenly paused and he could feel a pair of numb and scared eyes looking at his position.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]
Instinctively, he activated this skill, enabling him to see everything clearly.
With a casual sweeping observation of his surroundings, he knew that his spinal cord struck again and he was not in the previous location where he slept at.
Beside him stood a huge red boulder, and on this boulder stood 2 Giant Crabs. Both fellows were now as stiff as a Shrimp as they looked at the predator that was before them in fear.
"…"
Sebastian was speechless. "Is it a must that you guys present yourselves whenever I wake up and in need of food?"
They finally tried to escape but he reacted faster.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]
Crunch! Crunch!
Just 2 strong bites and he got his 2 easy kills.
[You have killed 2 mutated Giant Crab- Level 13 and Level 14: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 10 Adaptation points.]
Sebastian started his day in such an optimistic manner as he joyfully munched on the crispy shell and body of the 2 Crabs.
In just a few days since arriving at this region of the sea, he already knew his favorite prey. The Crabs were undoubtedly the crispiest, precisely the Yeti Crab but the Giant Crab was nice too.
With such delicious prey here, he was pretty sure that he would not miss the Blue Tang who was once his favorite prey.
"What a great arrangement of fate".
After feasting on the 2 fellows, he observed his surroundings out of habit with his electroreceptor skill to detect any danger. Detecting none, he finally started drafting his plan for the day.
His plan was not anything complicated, he was still focused on exploring the seamount thoroughly to understand his situation.
The only clause that he emphasized was avoiding the area surrounding the catacombs. In his map, he specially circled it for emphasis.
After he was done with his basic draft planning, he finally started swimming deeper into the seamount cautiously.
Due to the tense circumstances, after he transmigrated to this world, he did not know how much time he had spent here.
And besides, he only recently started understanding the concept of day and night here so everything was still a little fuzzy to him.
Putting all that behind him, he continued his exploration while instinctively checking out for any prey.

Crunch!
[You have killed a mutated Giant Shrimp- Level 11: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 2 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]
[You have killed a Draconic Lizard- Level 14: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 16 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]
After killing the Giant Shrimp, Sebastian did not hesitate as his dagger-sharp teeth dug into the thick scales of the Draconic Lizard. With a strong pull and a few shakes of his body, his teeth tore through the thick scales.
The strong Lizard fellow tried to retaliate, but Sebastian used all the experience that he already got fighting them to quickly put it down.
Yes, for the past 2 days, these lizard fellows were the most frequent predators that he encountered.
The deeper he swam inside the seamount, the more terrifying predators he met, and the lizard fellows were some of the most terrifying.
Not only did their 2 pair of limbs have extremely sharp claws for clutching into prey and shredding to death, but their tails were also pointed like an arrow and could deal astronomical damage in one blow.
For magic, they had the fire domain magic. Unlike the Death Dragons, theirs was pure unadulterated red fire packed with terrifying destructive power.
When Sebastian first encountered them, he relied mostly on his hard-dense skin to withstand the terrifying crushing power of their claws.
For the first time in a while, his magic shield directly popped as soon as the fire breath came into contact with it. And this dealt almost -100 damage to him, which frightened the hell out of him.
And the most horrifying fact was that there were 2 of these predators.
Without hesitation, he turned and escaped with his supersonic speed skill. Once again, he felt the importance of this godly escape tool.
This was all part of his contingency plan after he encountered both predators. No matter how strong he currently was, his laws to being a great white Shark were still at the back of his mind.
Well, he was a Megalodon now but it didn't matter much.
After escaping to safety, he did not give up as he retraced his swim trail back to the 2 predators without their notice.
On finding them, he laid down a meticulous plan to greatly increase his success rate before he attacked. The battle continued for 10 minutes which was outrageous but he succeeded in killing one of the Draconic Lizards.
The other escaped, just like him, predators of this level were intelligent enough to have skills to safeguard their lives.
For the next 2 days, he hunted these Draconic Lizards as they gave him a lot of skill points. Skill points were superficial though, the main reason was because of their crispy delicious meat.
Despite his meticulous plans, these lizards were more cunning than he expected as he could only kill 3 for the past 2 days. He was not frustrated though, he now understood their pattern a bit.
During these 2 days, he already explored a significant part of the seamount but he could not still find a predator that he could call an overlord over this region.
As he swam forward leisurely while his thoughts deviated in random patterns, his eyes suddenly focused as he detected a vibration in the water through his sound control skill.
This was another discovery of the skill that he got after experimenting for the past few days, activating it could enable him to sense sound waves and vibrations from far distances than his electroreceptors.
The only shortcoming was that compared to the electroreceptors, he could not outline what was causing the disturbance and could only detect it superficially.
Without hesitation, he activated his second eye.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]
Manually controlling the skill, he was able to narrow it down to focus on one direction. As soon as he focused, he saw the familiar predator, the Draconic lizard rapidly swimming from afar.
Seeing this, he was first happy that another prey was donating its meat to him but his expression became odd the next moment as this was abnormal.
From his discoveries, the Draconic lizard was almost always the predator here, it was extremely rare to see it being the prey and escaping so pathetically.
Thinking of this, he immediately focused on the Draconic lizard. As soon as the focus cleared, he saw 2 predators rushing after the Draconic lizard who was their prey.
They had extremely thick skin, far thicker than the scaled skin of the Draconic lizard. Spikes jutted out of their back in rows to form what seemed like a weapon fortress, both acting as a defense and an offensive adaptation.
Their tails were long, thick, muscly, and packed with power- the kind that could crush bones on impact. Their eyes glowed a fiery red, adding an even more ominous vibe to them.
All these observations were superficial compared to their most glaring feature, their row of teeth that looked like a spiked semi-circular bowl of death.
Seeing these two fearsome predators, one word flashed through Sebastian's mind. "Giant Crocodiles".
These were the real deal, real fearsome Crocodiles and just like most high leveled creatures of this world, they were a gigantic version making them look even more menacing.
Their swaying body as they rapidly pursued their prey gave Sebastian goosebumps, their enormous sharp teeth glinted from the illumination of the green glow, reflecting a bright metallic sheen.
The nearest Crocodile suddenly accelerated, biting down on its prey immediately without negotiations.
Crunch!
The Draconic lizard roared in pain but it still tried to struggle and escape, this struggle proved futile though as the other Crocodile came to its side, clamping down its teeth on this fresh prey with staggering force.
The teeth penetrated through without much resistance, crushing one of the lizard's 4 legs in the process as it roared in pain.
With red eyes, it gave up on escaping as it decided to fight to the death. Fire immediately started raging around it, but the Crocodiles easily countered it, they also had the fire magic domain.
In just a minute after it was caught, the Draconic lizard was already being crushed to the point of death by the sharp teeth of its opponents.
Seeing this, Sebastian was shocked as he knew how strong the lizard was. Then he remembered that he was exposed, almost freaking the hell out of him.
[You have triggered Adaptation: Camouflage organ.]
As his skin color changed, his brain rapidly swirled as he thought of what to do. He was obviously not going to help the lizard, but he remembered a term that he loved from his previous world- the almighty steal-killing.
Without hesitation, he acted according to the inclinations of his mind.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Bow and Arrow.]
Immediately, the pitch-black bow and arrow appeared before him. He carefully aimed with his magic power, confirmed again, then he patiently waited.
Painful and pitiful roaring sounds of pain kept on reverberating in the water as the Draconic lizard was slowly torn apart completely by the two Crocodiles.
When it was already at the point of giving up the ghost, a pitch-black arrow surrounded by a bright green magic power suddenly flashed towards it to the shock of the two predator Crocodiles.
[You have killed…]
Morales turned around without hesitation and silently started swimming away to avoid the rage of the 2 Crocodiles.
In his mind.. "What a successful kill steal, so refreshing".
Report chapter
The arrow ravaged through the body of the Draconic lizard, killing it immediately and giving the original hunters no time to react.
To the two Crocodiles, they were already at the point of killing their prey when a black light suddenly erupted, and then, boom, their prey was dead. They hovered in the water in a confused daze.
Their brain capacity was not that developed to start analyzing what happened but they both came to one conclusion, an enemy dared to kill their prey.
"Roar!!!" They roared in anger.
As anger suffused their mind with their heads practically already bringing smokes to emphasize it, they both turned their heads at the same time as they heard a sudden movement sound in the water.
Their glowing red eyes constricted as they looked in that direction, and without hesitation, they rushed forward rapidly.
Whoosh!
Their tails moved so fast in conjunction with their bodies that they practically became a blur in the water, they disappeared into the distance in just a few seconds in pursuit of the prey.
As they moved, their enormous teeth clapped dangerously at the water as they already anticipated the battle that would erupt on finding their prey.
Only pure bloodlust could be sensed from them.
A minute after the two predators disappeared into the distance, a chuckle sounded as Sebastian came out of his hiding location.
Looking down, the meat of the hunt was before him without blemish. Seeing this, he could not help himself as he chuckled again before looking at his system notification.
[You have killed a Draconic lizard- Level 16: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 5 Skill points and 10 Adaptation points.]
[You activated a magic domain skill: Sound Control.]
After he killed the Draconic lizard, he pretended to escape immediately while he actually decided to hide nearby which was highly effective with the help of his camouflage organ adaptation.
After hiding, with his sound control skill, he created sound waves to replicate the sound of a fish rapidly swimming away.
This combination was enough to fool the 2 Crocodiles as, without hesitation, they rushed into the distance in pursuit of their prey.
Though Sebastian felt a little proud about his achievement just with 2 non-combat skills, he knew that the Crocodiles won't be fooled for long and would come back to feast on their food.
All they could do was lament about the lost experience and points. Unfortunately for them, they would lament about the meat too.
Without hesitation, he swam closer and started digging into the food.
Crunch! Yum! Yum!
He could not help but create yum yum sounds with his sound control skill, the crispiness of Draconic lizard meat always left him craving for more.
"If not for the bloodlust and being a shark, Oceania would be an ideal location for a vacation after much dissecting due to the nice meat alone".
Amidst his mumbling, he quickly finished the meat of the dead lizard.
After temporarily curbing his craving for food, he did not leave immediately to escape the possible subsequent pursuit of the two Crocodiles.
After the success of his first plan, he didn't believe that the Crocodiles had the necessary mental faculty to participate in his psychological game.
He was not underestimating them; the fact was pointed that it was even a slight overestimation. From their adaptations and battle style, it was clear that the Crocodiles were among the more brawn and no-brain sea creatures.
He didn't want to hunt them as he recognized their strength after the battle, what he wanted was to check if they had a family here.
After 2 days, he was pretty sure that he was probably close to the center of the seamount already and this was his first time encountering these Giant Crocodiles.
And with the fact that 2 of them were able to so easily hunt a Draconic lizard, he concluded that they were probably the rulers of this seamount.
He still hasn't forgotten his ambition to leave this world of fire entirely, and that ambition could start from him killing the overlord creature of this seamount.
Though he was already getting used to it, the extreme heat of this region was still irritating to him. Amidst his thoughts, he did not have to wait long as the 2 frustrated Crocodiles finally swam back.
Getting closer, they froze for a moment before rapidly swimming closer to the place where their prey lay dead a few minutes ago.
Clear disbelief and shock showed in their eyes, then the disbelief suddenly turned to realization, then extreme anger overwhelmed their brain again.
"Roar!!!" They roared angrily.
At a safe distance away from it, Sebastian chuckled again on seeing this.
Though he was more of a dissecting guy, he also loved playing video games in his previous life which contributed a lot to his smooth transition into his new life.
One thing that he loved the most then was kill stealing, then those he kill-stole from would yell angrily in frustration which was like a comedy movie to him. From humans yelling angrily, now it was Crocodiles roaring angrily.
He chuckled again. "I upgraded".
"Old hobbies never die".
…
For the remaining parts of the day, Sebastian began a game of stalking as he followed the 2 Crocodiles to wherever they went.
After venting their anger in the surroundings due to being fooled, they finally calmed down and left to get other food.
Like Sebastian predicted, hunting to these guys was as natural as pooping. They were natural-born predators, hunting prey seemed so easy with them that they always had leftovers which Sebastian happily fed on.
Of course, at times, he butted in from the shadows, kill-stealing without drawing too much attention. This was probably his most eventful day in Oceania, the Crocodiles hunted like they had unlimited stamina.
He sincerely felt a deep respect for them.
Though it was a little exhausting, he persevered and stalked the 2 Crocodiles. All this was for him to know if they really had a huge family of Crocodiles in the seamount which could mean a lot of things to him.
When the green glow in the water subsided a bit, indicating the coming of the night, the 2 Crocodiles finally turned and started returning deeper inside the seamount.
On the way, they met and grouped up with other Crocodiles.
A few minutes later, Sebastian's patience paid off and he finally laid eyes into the city, or better still Kingdom of the Crocodiles.
Report chapter
Though Sebastian already expected and even imagined it when he followed the Crocodiles, when he finally laid his eyes on the enormous Kingdom, he still felt breathless and blown away.
At this moment, night already came properly and the green glow of the Sea subsided a lot but this could still not dim the majesty of this kingdom.
The Kingdom of the Crocodiles was rested upon a huge crater in the middle of the seamount. Huge red trees surrounded it from all sides, making it seem like a jungle of fire.
The hardened trees which already adapted to the extreme heat of this region looked as sturdy as boulders, they formed a protective circle around the crater kingdom.
And inside this kingdom lived countless Crocodiles. They were not as exaggerated as a colony of ants, but still, seeing so many huge predators gathered in one place left Sebastian's skin crawling.
The 2 Crocodiles that Sebastian tailed here swaggered into the crater, they were back home. None of the other Giant Crocodiles spoke with them, they seemed to be able to communicate via simple gestures with their enormous bodies.
There were no complicated structures inside the crater, the numerous Crocodiles residing here simply bore holes inside the crater where they lived.
They had special holes where the baby Crocodiles resided. Seeing this, Sebastian was once again dumbfounded as he could not imagine how Crocodile eggs could be laid here.
The temperature here was so high that it was already scalding his skin, he could not imagine how the eggs fared.
In the middle of the crater was a small lake of fire. Lava flowed freely through the lake, dying it a world of red and the heat coming from it distorted the surrounding water.
Almost all the Crocodiles and their residence kept a respectable distance from this hot lake of fire, only one hole was bored close to it.
Seeing this, Sebastian already had a guess but he could not be sure as the distance was too far for him to see everything clearly. The heat distorting the surrounding water did not help matters either.
This made him fall into a dilemma but it did not last long. The alpha overlord ruling this seamount was his target, and of course, seeing it clearly was a necessity to help his future plans.
Pumped up by that, he decided to go closer.
[You have triggered Adaptation: Camouflage Organ.]
Adjusting his body-color with this, he was able to avoid detection and go closer a bit inside the crater which was a living kingdom of Crocodiles.
Carefully avoiding any location where the killer Crocs were abundant, he got close enough to barely see what was in the lava lake.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]
As he pushed the skill to its limits, the black and white lines in his vision first outlined a Crocodile who hovered closer to the lava lake than the others but the distance was still respectable.
In his black and white electroreceptor vision, Sebastian was surprised to discover that this Crocodile was different than all the other sea creatures that he's outlined with his electroreceptors.
It defied the original color that he was used to, and its figure was outlined with a blurry red convergence of magic power.
Sebastian was curious to know more about it, but he knew that this was not his target. Focusing farther, he finally saw the overlord of this kingdom.
The Enormous Crocodile was far bigger than all the others, it was like a war train armed to the teeth to become a war fortress.
The bony plate that formed the spikes in its back was sturdier and thicker, making the rows of spikes in its back seem sharper and deadlier.
It opened its mouth like it was gasping for breath, revealing its dagger-sharp rows of teeth in the process. Its powerful jaws stood as stiff as a wall, outlining its large mouth in its full glory.
Sebastian knew that this action of opening its mouth was for it to lower its body temperature, but this could not stop him from imagining sickening scenarios of those deadly teeth clamping onto his skin.
He shuddered indiscernibly.
Not only did it have a sturdy defense, but Crocodiles were also renowned for the fact that they had the strongest bite power on earth, 10 times more powerful than that of a Great White Shark.
The most fearsome thing of all was that this enormous Crocodile was swimming in the lava lake, leisurely flapping its thick scales like it was sunbathing.
To Sebastian, this felt like eastern fantasy scenarios in his previous world where cultivators spend thousands of years in extreme conditions just to get a heaven-defying physique.
He was sincerely gobsmacked. "For real?"
As he looked on in a solemn and dumbfounded manner, he felt something strange rippling through his body.
[A skill has been used on you: Radar Magic Detector.]
[Your location has been pinpointed by the Mystery Pryer Crocodile.]
Seeing this notification, he was shocked as he instinctively turned to look at the other Crocodile that hovered closer to the lake than the others.
When he looked, he felt a chill run down his spine as this Crocodile was also already looking at him with narrowed eyes. Turning his head again, he saw the alpha Crocodile slowly swimming out of the lava lake with its eyes fixed on him.
[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone.]
[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed.]
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
Roar!!!
By the time that the alpha Crocodile roared, Sebastian was already rapidly escaping into the distance. He was not someone who hesitated foolishly in such matters.
Hearing the roar, all the Crocodiles here were aroused as they turned to look at the escaping intruder. Without hesitation, they rushed to attack but Sebastian already turned to a speed train at this point.
Bam! Bam!
His body slammed at the Crocodiles, pushing them out of the way before they could bite at his skin as his supersonic speed skill did its wonders again, enabling him to swim at science-defying speeds.
[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]
Crunch!
Sebastian did not hesitate to bite in retaliation after suffering the first bite to his skin. Due to his fast reaction and the contingency plan that he already had, he finally escaped from the Croc kingdom with injuries.
"Phew!" He turned back to look after getting to a sufficiently far distance.
He felt fear but at the same time, he felt thrilled by the encounter.. Thoughts rapidly formed in his head as a plan slowly started being drafted.
Report chapter
After escaping from the Crocodile Kingdom, while healing himself with his rejuvenation skill, a lot of thoughts went through Sebastian's mind.
After the numerous battle encounters that he already experienced since transmigrating into this world, he understood a pattern. How highly leveled battle skills were affected battle situations a lot.
A fish who still had its bite skill at the first tier, and another fish of the same level whose bite skill already leveled up to the second tier could exert different power levels in a battle.
During his observation of the alpha Crocodile, one thing that was apparent to him was the heavy and dangerously veteran vibe that it exuded.
He guessed that this was because of how highly leveled its skills were. Even if they were of the same level, he was pretty sure that the bite of the alpha Crocodile was countless times deadlier than his.
Just imagining its deadly teeth left him shuddering in fear and excitement.
Another fact that he observed was that his shredding bite skill was clearly insufficient when placed against the thick skin of the Crocodiles.
He's never really thought much about it as most of his enemies were easily resolved after a few bites and attacks, but the thick skin of the Crocodiles brought him to this cruel fact.
He didn't have a bite skill that was purely offensive enough, the shredding bite skill was still in the end focused more on shredding through the shake of his body after biting.
He put purchasing a more offensive biting skill on his list of to get skills from the system store in the future. He already checked it, but there was no offensive skill right now so he could only wait patiently.
After observing it for the past few days, he already vaguely understood the pattern of the main system store.
It had a huge list of different skills, and they reset every few days. So, to access what he wanted, he had to pay attention to it always to be alerted when what he was looking for came.
It was just like a lottery wheel with a slightly different mechanism.
Though the current him could be said to be powerful, he was clearly not powerful enough to take the alpha Crocodile on. Adding its family was just a perfect scenario of him courting death.
He was not frustrated by this though; the hard challenge only ignited the competitive spirit in him.
The fact that he has not leveled up despite all the prey that he has killed for the past few days did not escape his notice, this was the reason why he set his sight on the powerful Crocodile family.
He knew that to successfully attack the Croc family, he needed a plan and that was what he would be focused on drafting for the next few days. He would also use this time to level up his skills.
With such a thought in mind, he turned, activated his triple reverse swim skill, and swam farther away from the Crocodile Kingdom.
He swam far away before finding a nice place to spend the night, he would continue his hunting and planning the next day.
He didn't know how long the preparation would take, but he was ready to give his all for it and get to an optimum state before attacking.
…
1 month later, Sebastian pursued a family of 8 Giant Shrimps that were trying their best to escape his tight pursuit.
[You have activated skill: Magic Teeth.]
[You have activated skill: Sound Reflection.]
Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!
As the sharp flying teeth embedded themselves inside the body of the poor Shrimps, the sound-induced by them was reflected by Sebastian's skill, dealing even more damage to the Shrimps.
The sound produced by the reflection skill stunned them for a moment, granting Sebastian the perfect opportunity to close the distance.
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
[You have activated skill: Spike Attack.]
Boom!
His enormous body collided into them like a train, dealing astronomical damage while his spikes dealt even more additional damage in the process.
[You have killed a Giant Shrimp- Level 12: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 6 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]
[You have killed a Giant Shrimp- Level 11: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained…]
Seeing 2 of their comrades die before them, the Giant Shrimps overcame their fear as they turned angrily to retaliate against this predator.
Before they could attack, Sebastian activated his shredding bite skill and bit at the nearest Giant Shrimp. With a few pulls and drags of his teeth, he tore the poor fellow apart, ending its life.
Sizzle!
The water evaporated slightly as the Shrimps released fire magic lines from their pair of legs. Compared to other predators, their fire magic was less powerful but it was still deadly to any opponent.
Already expecting it, Sebastian pushed through it nonchalantly after activating his magic shield. With that, he easily closed the distance, which meant death to the less powerful Shrimps.
Crunch!
He started a massacre, and in a few minutes, his teeth shredded them apart.
[You have killed 6 Giant Shrimp- {Level 11-14}: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 42 Skill points and 30 Adaptation points.]
"Yes!" Sebastian cheered happily as he quickly went closer to chomp down on the crispy meat of the 8 Shrimps.
Just like in his previous world, Shrimps were also super delicious in Oceania, easily taking them to his top 3 ranking of most delicious prey.
As he chomped down on the food, his system lit up a notification.
[Your Spike Attack Skill has leveled up to Level 5: Automatically switching to advanced version of the skill.]
[Switch to advanced version of Spike Attack skill failed.]
Seeing this, Sebastian was not too surprised as he didn't purchase an advanced version of the skill during his evolution. Despite this, he was glad as his last skill finally leveled past the first tier.
For the past 1 month, amid his planning on how to kill the Crocodiles, his focus was mostly on hunting to level his skills, and his hard work paid off.
Before he checked his status, following his routine, he checked the main system store to try his luck if any badass skill appeared.
This time, on checking he was given a surprise.
[New Skill has been detected!]
[Crushing Bite!]
[New! Crushing Bite: This skill empowers and gives your teeth frightening force on each bite, enabling you to deal crushing damage in one forceful bite.]
[Remark: One Bite King!]
Seeing this, Sebastian felt excitement grip him as he felt the urge to purchase it immediately. After over a month in the seamount, he already experienced the need for a one-bite deal astronomical damage skill.
For that, he had his water transmutation magical manifestations and the Blood Vampire effect of his teeth adaptation but getting a skill for it that he could use normally brought a different kind of satisfaction.
Though he wanted to purchase it immediately, he held back as he carefully observed the other purchase options that presented themselves before him.
For bite skills, he saw others like digging bite, clamping bite, and piercing bite. They were good in their own ways especially the piercing bite, but he already had a preference before now so he didn't buy any of them.
After going through the bite skills, he diverted his attention to go through the other skills that appeared.
For each of his body adaptations, he saw a corresponding skill like sonic singing, weird skills like teeth sharpener, and other skills but he also ignored them because none of them were essential skills that he needed.
The more time he spent in this world, the more rules he learned on how to live and adapt to it. After a lot of experiments and his encounters, he deduced that it was not a good thing to have too many skills.
Having too many skills that you have to think before activating a skill could prove fatal in a battle, purchasing only the powerful and practical skills that could easily cover weaknesses was more viable.
Without hesitation, he purchased the skill.
[455 Skill points have been extracted from your points stash.]
[You have purchased a new skill: Crushing Bite!]
After purchasing the skill, he felt much better as he activated his triple reverse swim and swam to a corner to better access his status.
During the 1 month that he spent in the seamount while preparing for his attack on the Crocodiles, his focus on hunting provided him advantages in many different ways.
Almost all his skills already leveled at least twice for the past few months, his dorsal fin skill finally switched to the empowered version which was a happy thing to him.
Not only that, in this seamount, he had the perfect battleground to put all his skills to use and experiment on how to maximize their effects in battles.
In this process, he already learned specialized battle styles, and the most important was that he already grasped the limits of his Water Transmutation unique skill after his recent evolution.
Now, he had much more varied magic manifestations available to him which could be used in battles.
"System, give me my list of magic manifestations".
[Affirmative!]
[Magic Manifestations: Flaming Sword; Bow and Arrow; War Hammer; Tower Shield; Lightning Axe; Ice Spears; Fire Sabers; Heavy Armor.]
These were the magic manifestations that he experimented with and could use during his 1-month hunting. He could form other magic manifestations, but he only settled for the most practical manifestations that could help him in battle.
The only regret that he had was that his magic power could not still support magic manifestations like machine guns and canons yet.
When he really got to that level, imagining how strong he would be only left him shaking in excitement. Not only did he get new magic manifestations, but the previous ones were also upgraded.
For the flaming sword, apart from the normal physical damage, it could now also deal additional fire damage for each strike.
And, he was no longer limited to one flaming sword each time. His magic power was now potent enough to easily maintain 3 flaming swords in battle.
For the Bow and arrow, they could now deal additional true damage for each shot. True damage was a more exotic term for internal damage, it could bypass defense and directly attack a prey's internals.
It was a fearsome effect that has helped him for the past 1 month.
For the war hammer, it now came with a stunning effect and had a certain percentage chance of dealing concussion damage to prey.
The Tower shield was heavier and sturdier. The Lightning Axe came with lightning effects and could deal both physical and lightning damage.
The ice spear deals physical damage and had a certain percentage chance of freezing his opponents.
For the Fire Sabers, apart from dealing physical and fire damage, a fire domain raged around it that could deal AOE fire damage to opponents.
Of all the magic manifestations, the Heavy Armor was the best. It could form a heavy armor around his body, granting him mind-blowing defense. The only shortcoming was that it drained more magic power from him than the others.
Despite this shortcoming, it was still a god-tier magic manifestation.
Not only his Water Transmutation unique skill experienced change, after leveling up a few times, but all his other skills were also now countless times more potent and deadlier.
Also, he leveled twice during this period.
"System, give me my status".

Seeing this, a wide grin lit up his shark face. "I'm a boss predator!"
Report chapter
After going through his new status, a satisfied Sebastian hovered lazily in the water with his tail fin flapping left and right as he fantasized about a feast of his 3-favorite prey in this new expanse.
His 3 favorite meat were the Giant Crab, the Draconic lizard, and the Giant Shrimp, this trio was heavenly meat to him.
Anytime that he got to lay his teeth on them, the juicy, crispy texture and taste always left him salivating for more.
Apart from madly leveling his skills during the past 1 month, his numerous battle encounters also gave him valuable battle experience in this world.
Though he didn't want to admit it, he knew that his psyche already experienced a significant change after staying so long in this world.
Though he still faintly missed his previous life where everything was calm and easygoing compared to here, and that he still wanted to find a way to go back, he was sure that he was already being attached to this world.
"Sigh! I'm slowly becoming a monster".
He lamented but he did not feel sad.
The huge number of sea creatures that he already dissected in this period was enough to allay his sadness, and besides, he already unlocked the advanced profile information of the Giant Crab after repeatedly killing their kind.
As his mind randomly thought of things, he was surprised as the system lit another notification before him.
[Due to the extreme heat of this region, automatic skin mutation to adapt to your surroundings has started and is in progress.]
[Current progress rate of mutation: 100%.]
[Congratulations! You have succeeded in getting a skin mutation without the main system store.]
[You have received 10 Adaptation points for the achievement.]
[Cost of activating skin mutation: 700 Adaptation points!]
[Do you want to get the mutated adaptation now?]
Seeing this, Sebastian was stunned before he became ecstatic. For the past month, this mutation was one of the things that always left him feeling like bashing his head against a rock.
From the fast progress rate when it started, getting towards the middle stages of 50% the progress rate decreased in a despairing manner.
Not only that, but the penalty of the mutation also increased. From the initial -1 damage every 10 seconds, it slowly increased and at the later stages, it was an astronomical -5 damage every 10 seconds.
This brought a scene where while he was wary of damage from opponents, he was even warier of the damage brought by his own mutation.
It was a pain in the ass period for him but he got through it, he felt emotional.
After he settled down and looked closely, he was stunned once again. "What? You give me 10 Adaptation points for the achievement and to activate the adaptation requires 700?"
"T-that's a scam! How the hell is that getting a mutation without the main system store?"
[Does host want to get the mutated adaptation now?]
"Oh, you switched from active to passively addressing me, you think that would work? This is a scam!"
After throwing a tantrum for minutes with the system not compromising in the slightest, he could only put up with it sulkily and do the needful.
[700 Adaptation points have been extracted from host's points starch.]
Sebastian flinched slightly on seeing his hard work being so nonchalantly extracted, he muttered weakly. "That's a scam!"
[Host has activated an Adaptation: Fire Skin!]
[Fire Skin: This adaptation grants host a skin that is extremely resistant to heat and fire. Fire and fire magic deal less damage to your skin, you now have the status of a forged from fire.]
Seeing this, Sebastian's sulkiness disappeared as his eyes sparkled. "Wow! That's really nice".
He did not expect this skin mutation to grant him increased resistance towards fire and fire magic, which was a buff that he very much appreciated because practically all the creatures in this region had fire magic or fire-related magic.
With such a skin mutation, he could easily adapt faster to the circumstances of this world of fire.
Though he was impressed, he still felt that he was scammed of 700 Adaptation points. Even during his evolutions, he's not seen an adaptation or skill that costs as much as this.
Well, there was no use crying over spilled milk so he forgot it. On his demand, the system outlined his current adaptations before him.
[Adaptations: Map; Spikes; Hard Dense Skin; Vampire Teeth; Mana Conductor Coating; Magic Organ; Damage Reflection Skin Coating; Camouflage Organ; Sound Magic Domain; Fire Skin.]
"Well, that's an impressive lineup".
Pumping himself with this, he finally forgot about the loss of 700 precious Adaptation points. Now, he focused on his preparations for the attack against the Crocodile family.
During the past month, one of the things that he did the most was exploration. At this point, he was confident that he already knew every nook and corner of the seamount.
And through his exploration, he got to know even more about the might of the Crocodile family. They were the absolute overlords of this seamount.
Alone, his plan was bound to be a failure despite his upgrades but he found something else- the Crocodile family was not the only dominant kingdom in the seamount, they had a rival- the Draconic lizard family.
When Sebastian first encountered them, despite his electroreceptors being active, he almost fell into a trap that cost him his life.
As one of the most fervent hunters of the Draconic lizards, it was inevitable that the family already locked onto him as an enemy.
After subsequent observations, he got all the information that he needed about this family of Draconic lizards.
They were not exactly as strong as the Crocodiles, but they were formidable in their own right which was the only reason why they had a kingdom in this seamount in the first place.
Now, Sebastian planned to seek help from the Draconic lizards and make use of their enmity with the Crocodiles to ignite a war, the only problem was that the lizards also hated him as their meat was too palatable.
He already tried toning down his craving for lizard meat, but it was proving to be a herculean task. Despite the difficulty, he forced himself and already stopped hunting the lizards for the past 3 days.
Now, the problem was how to get contact that would not result in instant war with the Draconic lizards.
Till now, he still didn't have a proper plan for that.
"Sigh! A Megalodon's life is hard".
Report chapter
Still, with no solution in sight, Sebastian decided to temporarily forget about it and go hunting. Perhaps, hunting would inspire him.
This was a technique that he learned after numerous hunting exploits in this seamount, sometimes it was just like a cheat inspiration mechanism.
Motivated by that, he finally moved his enormous body.
[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]
[You have triggered Adaptation: Camouflage Organ.]
With this trio of hunting perks activated, he started swimming to the periphery regions of the seamount.
Going deeper, he was likely to encounter Crocodiles and Draconic lizards, most of his favorite and easier to kill prey were always at the periphery zones of the seamount.
As he swam, he did not have to wait long before his electroreceptors detected something. Quickly outlining the figures, he found 2 Poison Worms slithering through the seamount.
Seeing them, he was a little disappointed as he was not too much of a fan of their meat but something was better than nothing.
[You have activated skill: Sonic Drill.]
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
A sonic drill rapidly formed in the air before shooting at the nearest Poison Worm, not giving it anytime to react as it easily drilled into its slimy body.
The Poison Worm made a weird sound in pain, alerting its companion as they turned to face the enemy but Sebastian was already before them.
He already activated his shredding bite skill.
Crunch!
His sharp row of teeth bit down on the Worm's rough skin, taking away a chunk of slimy flesh and dealing astronomical damage as he immediately started shaking his body to tear deeper into its skin.
In seconds, the first Poison Worm died to his impeccable chaining of skills. And in this time, the other Poison Worm still didn't react yet and it paid for that.
Sebastian activated his Battering ram skill as his body immediately moved to collide with it like a moving train.
Boom!
A huge depression was carved through the sides of the Worm. It was not given any time to use its magic power, Sebastian's teeth bit down to finish the job.
[You have killed 2 mutated Poison Worm- Level 12 and 13: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 6 Skill points and 10 Adaptation points.]
Without hesitation, he bit down and quickly gobbled up the meat left behind by the 2 prey. After doing this, he continued swimming while looking out for prey.
The speeds at which he disposed of the 2 prey were a manifestation of his current battle experience and skill upgrades for the past month.
For the next few minutes after feasting on the meat of the 2 Poison Worms, his luck seemed to have been used up as he did not encounter any other prey.
As soon as he thought of this, he remembered his abysmal luck stat point again. Despite everything that he did, his luck stat points remained stagnant like it was cursed by some witch.
Suppressing the sadness in his heart, he continued his hunt.
5 minutes later, when he already began to suspect that something was wrong with the surrounding, his eyes focused as he detected a faint vibration in the water through his sound control skill.
The fact that his electroreceptors didn't register it yet meant that it was a far distance away from his current location, but he was confident that something was happening.
Immediately, he started swimming faster in the direction of the vibration.
With the help of his sound control skill, despite how faint the vibration was he was able to navigate his way to where it originated from. What he met there surprised him.
Due to his culture of always being cautious, he did not make a sound so the predator was not able to detect him.
At this moment, a Draconic lizard was struggling and already at the point of death from the death-grip of an enormous strange Python.
The need for the term strange was that it had the skin of a Python, but the 4 hands jutting out of its sides were so contradictory to what Sebastian was accustomed to on earth that he was stunned in place for a moment.
Its 2 pairs of legs curled with its long body in such a way that it firmly wrapped and held the Draconic lizard in place. It was not swallowing yet, it was simply crushing the lizard fellow with its powerful muscles.
Squelch!
Hearing this sound, Sebastian was jolted out of his daze.
"A Python with legs…, a real Python with legs!"
He's always seen the snakes with legs whenever he went to the edge of the seamount and looked up at the wardrobe-like cliff, but this was his first time seeing one descend to this seamount.
A lot of thoughts went through his mind but he quickly concluded, fight and save the lizard first before any other thing.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
[You have activated skill: Spike Attack.]
Boom!
He quickly collided with the enormous Python, digging his spikes into its side in the process as it quickly raised its head and hissed in pain.
Contrary to what Sebastian expected, the Python was extremely decisive as it immediately let go of its almost dead prey to better focus on the new opponent.
It rapidly turned around, raised its head, and opened its mouth to reveal its 2 menacing teeth amid its tongue flicking left and right.
Hiss!
Before Sebastian could react, 2 purple liquids shot out of the Python's teeth towards him. They drilled into his body effortlessly, he could not react to dodge on time but he retaliated immediately.
[You have been hit by a skill: Poison Drill.]
[You have been poisoned: You will lose 3 HP each second for 10 seconds.]
[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection.]
The Python wanted to instinctively follow up on its attack, but it suddenly stiffened as sound waves battered at its head, dealing damage in the process.
After it recovered, its deadly eyes glared at its opponent but it suddenly ignored Sebastian and focused behind him. Its eyes flickered rapidly, then without hesitation, it turned and escaped.
Sebastian who was already ready to use his magic manifestations was left dumbfounded, but not for long though as his electroreceptors suddenly detected 2 newcomers rapidly swimming towards him.
Before he could turn, he heard a loud voice.
"Hey! Help me!"
"What?"
Turning his head, the sight that presented itself before Sebastian left him surprised and dumbfounded. His electroreceptors already outlined the sight, but he still decided to turn to confirm with his eyes.
Right now, a hot chase was ongoing as 2 predators, one going after the other rapidly swam down towards the seamount.
The one at the front that was being pursued was a Great white shark, a great white towering a size of about 8 meters. It was the one who left Sebastian surprised and also called for his help.
His Young Megalodon form looked identical to a Great White Shark, so it was not surprising that the great white called to him for help. The really perplexing case that left him dumbfounded was the predator pursuing it.
The predator in pursuit was also a shark, but it was by far the weirdest shark that Sebastian has ever seen in both lives.
It towered up to a size of about 13 meters, its upper body was green and its belly was white. It had a large snout, like a great white shark but its own was super exaggerated.
Its snout was so long and narrow at the end that it resembled the bill of a Giant Swordfish instead of the snout of a shark.
Its fins and body were in such disorderly proportions that only one name for comparison came to Sebastian after observing it- Goblin.
"A f*cking Goblin Shark?"
He was dumbfounded but he did not fall into a dilemma of what to do. For long, he's been looking for other sharks from his family. After finally meeting one, he was obviously not about to let it die.
He reacted immediately as both predators were already closing the distance towards him.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
His enormous body was immediately propelled up at a mind-blowing speed as he set on a course of collision with the strange shark.
Seeing his action, the great white shark's eyes showed relief while the strange shark's eyes only turned colder as it also activated a ramming skill to collide with this new enemy.
Both sides closed the distance rapidly and at the last moment, the great white shark who called for help jumped out of the way.
Boom!
Sebastian felt his body shake, then his brain went numb for a moment as the shock and vibrations of the collision rushed through his body.
[You have come into body contact with the mutated Goblin Shark.]
[A skill has been used on you: Random Green Bomb.]
[Bomb type randomizing…, Randomization complete.]
[Green Explosion Bomb has been applied to your body.]
[Exploding in 3…, 2…]
"Wait, what?"
Boom!
Sebastian's brain rapidly became hyperactive as the explosive green bomb ravaged his body, taking a chunk of flesh from his sides.
The pain stimulated him so much that his eyes became wide open.
Despite trying to control himself, he could not as the explosive force of the bomb left his body spinning randomly in the water.
Despite his spinning body, his electroreceptors skill was still stable enough to outline a figure rapidly advancing towards him.
[You have activated skill: Magic Shield.]
The Goblin Shark's originally harmless snout suddenly became as sharp as a Swordfish's gill, and it stabbed through Sebastian's magic shield with it before it could materialize fully.
Bam!
[You have received staggering damage.]
[You have come into body contact with the mutated Goblin Shark.]
[A skill has been used on you: Random Green Bomb.]
[Bomb type randomizing…, Randomization complete.]
[Green Poison Bomb has been applied to your body.]
This time, there was no explosion. The Green substance simply disintegrated, turning into a misty substance as it seeped inside Sebastian's skin.
[You have been poisoned: You will lose 8 HP each second for 10 seconds.]
Crunch!
The Goblin shark bit into his skin savagely, its sharp row of teeth penetrating through his hard-dense skin after receiving little resistance.
Amid his pain, Sebastian finally understood what type of horrifying enemy he was facing this time. In just 3 attacks, he directly lost about 400 HP which was completely terrifying.
He was surprised as despite coming into contact with him again through its teeth, no bomb was attached.
He didn't have the luxury to think deeper into this, he heaved a sigh of relief as he instantly decided to go all out.
Through his electroreceptor skill, he saw that the great white shark didn't escape. Instead, it came back to help him as it bit into the Goblin Shark's tail.
Almost immediately, the Goblin Shark retaliated with its tail, cutting the Great white while applying a bomb to it in the process.
Seeing the bomb explode and the Great white shark recoiling in pain, Sebastian finally reacted properly.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Ice Spears.]
3 Ice Spears immediately materialized from different directions. The Goblin Shark detected them immediately, but it could not react fast enough before they all dug into its body.
To Sebastian's horror, this fellow did not even flinch in pain. Green blood flowed from its body but it kept doing what it was doing without feeling pain like a zombie shark.
Despite being surprised by this, Sebastian was not distracted.
Exerting all the strength that he could, he struggled hard, and with the help of his fellow great white shark from the side, he freed himself from the Goblin Shark's death-grip.
As soon as he freed himself, he triggered his adaptation and activated his spike attack skill as he slammed back at it, digging into its flesh in the process.
The eerie thing of all this was that this fellow still didn't flinch in pain.
He did not care about it though while celebrating that no bomb was applied he quickly pulled back and activated another skill.
[You have activated skill: Sonic Drill.]
Bam!
The sonic manifestation shot through the Shark's head, sending green blood flying everywhere but it still didn't flinch.
In retaliation, the Goblin Shark suddenly accelerated towards him as its snout became super sharp again while being surrounded by dark green magic light.
[You have created a magic manifestation: Tower Shield.]
[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection.]
Boom!
Sebastian's Tower Shield magic manifestation held, keeping the Goblin Shark at bay compared to his magic shield. The sound-induced was loud though, and this loud sound was what retaliated against the Goblin Shark.
Bzzz!
As soon as the Sound Reflection skill took effect, the reflected sound immediately recoiled and affected the Goblin Shark, making it stiffen in one place as its eyes glazed over.
Its eyes became an eerie misty green color like it suddenly became blind, green heat-filled drool seeped out of its mouth, causing the water to make sizzling sounds on contact.
Crunch!
The Great white shark took advantage of this opportunity to activate its biting skill, digging its teeth viciously into the body of the Goblin Shark.
Seeing this, a tense Sebastian finally had some time for himself as he immediately started preparing for his counterattack.
"Leave!" He roared at the Great white shark.
Though the shark was confused by the order, it was obedient as it turned and immediately dashed away out of the CenterPoint of the battlefield.
Then, Sebastian's rage was unleashed.
[You have created a magic manifestation: Flaming Sword!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: War Hammer!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Ice Spears!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Lightning Axe!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Fire Sabers!]
It was at this moment that the Goblin Shark finally regained control over its consciousness and body, but it was too late. Sebastian was determined to kill this extremely dangerous fellow.
The Goblin Shark's eyes widened in slight surprise and slight craziness at the strange weapons rapidly appearing and hovering around its body.
3 Flaming swords first appeared above its head, then a War hammer appeared, then another 3 Ice spears, then a huge Lightning Axe, and lastly 3 Sabers with fire raging around them.
Immediately as these weapons appeared, the heat in the surrounding water rapidly increased. Not only that, a layer of frost revolved around the 3 Ice spears, and lightning raged around the enormous Axe.
All of these weapons revolved around the enormous body of the Goblin Shark, forming a tyrannical offensive force.
For once, it felt danger to its life and instinctively activated its only defense skill, the basic magic shield.
The next moment, all these weapons descended with wrath on its body.
Boom! Boom!
A bright extremely glaring light flared in the water with all kinds of colors intertwining in its middle, they formed a colorful barrage of destruction.
[You have dealt astronomical damage to your opponent.]
[Critical Hit: -221 Damage.]
[-113 Damage.]
[-157 Damage {3}]
[Critical Hit: …]
[Critical Hit: …]
[You have been hit by shockwaves: You have received Damage.]
Immediately, Sebastian activated and covered his body with the magic shield before also retreating as his barrage of offensive weapons fought on his behalf.
As this happened, his magic power drained like water but he did not feel frustrated in the slightest. He knew the power being exerted and on display.
The Goblin Shark who was the recipient of so much damage. Its magic shield didn't last a second, all the weapons came to bear against its flesh.
For a few seconds, it was rapidly bombarded as its body suffered injuries of various degrees. The light of the destruction soon covered it completely, obscuring it from direct observation.
The eerie thing about this was that this strange Goblin shark still didn't let out a single sound of pain.
About 20 seconds later, Sebastian's magic power was drained completely and the light slowly subsided after the magic manifestations dealt staggering damage to the Goblin Shark.
As soon as everything cleared down, Sebastian focused and looked carefully.
The Goblin Shark was completely wreaked. It suffered so much damage from the fierce offensive that its body was now barely recognizable, it looked like an enemy that suffered bombardment from an elite military unit.
Some of the cuts lacerated its body so much in such a gory way that even Sebastian was pricked in his heart.
What made him heave a huge sigh of relief though was that amid flickering lightning, there was a spot in the Shark's head where the Lightning Axe magic manifestation almost cut completely through its head.
"It should be dead, right?"
Almost immediately after he made this assumption, his eyes widened as he saw the injuries on the Goblin Shark's body visibly squirming and closing up.
The next second, the Shark's pair of eyes snapped open.
"What?" Sebastian freaked out.
The Goblin Shark's cold eyes scrutinized the Megalodon before it as it revealed a crazy and irrational look. It suppressed this the next moment though.
Without batting an eyelid, it turned around and without hesitation escaped out of the battlefield with a speed rivaling Sebastian's supersonic speed.
Seeing this, Sebastian was once again dumbfounded but he already had some inclinations about what happened.
Despite this, he did not dare leave his survival to fate. With that crazy look on the Goblin Shark's eyes, what if it decided to come back to finish the job immediately?
He immediately turned his head to the sides and locked eyes with the Great white shark who was currently looking at him in awe, surprise, and worship.
"Escape!" He roared.
"Eh?" It was confused for a moment but it quickly understood.
[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
Without hesitation, Sebastian led the way, swimming down rapidly and deep inside the seamount as the Great white shark followed behind him without asking any questions.
So, a funny scene presented itself where after a short clash, both opponents were escaping in different directions like they just saw the apocalypse in different versions and volumes.
In a few seconds, the distance between both parties stretched dozens of kilometers. The Goblin Shark did not look back, neither did Sebastian and the Great white shark as they rushed deeper into the seamount.
In a few minutes, both of them disappeared completely inside the seamount like ghosts in a haunted castle.
