As soon as Sebastian arrived inside the battlefield properly, he saw a great white shark which immediately brought a grinning smile to his shark face.
"Big bro, hunting?" Verni asked excitedly.
"Yeah, hunting!"
After replying, Sebastian took the lead as a big bro would. This time, he was back to his fighting style when he didn't have a magic organ yet and it left him feeling super excited.
[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
Taking these 2 basic skills as the anchor, he activated a myriad of skills in his body including the empowered tail fin, empowered dorsal fin, advanced electroreceptors, spike attack, battering ram, and of course, bite.
Immediately Sebastian arrived beside the closest ravaging Crocodile.
[You have activated skill: Crushing Bite!]
[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite!]
Crunch!
The first bite skill gave his teeth such crushing force that he bit through the extremely thick and spiked tail of the Crocodile in one bite, then the second gave him such shredding power that he started wreaking havoc inside it.
He learned this combo attack style after all his numerous battle encounters in this seamount, and it was frighteningly effective.
From those 2 bites, he dealt damage which was not too much compared to the health points of the Crocodile but another fact was that his vampire effect triggered which now took 2 HP each second for 20 seconds.
[You have been hit by an attack: Spike Defense Retaliation.]
As soon as Sebastian bit the Crocodile, it flinched slightly in pain as its spikes suddenly became sharper, digging into his flesh in retaliation.
Before Sebastian could react, someone else did.
Crunch!
With force derived from all the momentum that he gathered, Verni revealed a fearsome look on its face as its teeth dug into the thick flesh of the Crocodile from another part.
The first time did not penetrate directly due to how thick it was, but the great white shark simply bit again rapidly while dragging for a few more times before he finally breached the enemy's defense.
Sebastian retreated slightly, then he gathered momentum with his battering ram skill before rushing back with force. He collided with the Crocodile's side, pushing a depression through as it growled in pain.
It fought a brave heroic battle for 45 seconds before it fell dead to the tyranny of the 2 sharks.
[You have jointly killed a mutated Mammoth Crocodile with your hunting partner- Level 19: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 32 Skill points and 10 Adaptation points.]
This was the difference between these Crocodiles and other monsters in this seamount. Despite pairing with his hunting partner, Sebastian spent almost a minute before he took it down.
In the whole Crocodile kingdom, there were less than 40 adult Crocodiles but they formed such a terrifying force that could not be annihilated anytime soon.
Sebastian was not deterred though, he felt even more gusto to fight harder. He used his electroreceptors to observe the battle of the 2 alphas which already spread destruction everywhere before focusing back on his.
With his hunting partner, they both rushed in and wreaked havoc.
20 minutes later, after his last bitter battle that stretched over 7 minutes where he even sustained some injuries, Sebastian finally took down their most fearsome Croc opponent.
[You have jointly killed a Purple tier mutated Mammoth Crocodile- Level 23: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained 53 Skill points and 50 Adaptation points.]
[You have killed your first Purple tier creature: You have gained an additional 30 Adaptation points.]
[You have killed a Purple tier creature while still at the Orange tier: You have gained an additional 20 Skill points and 50 Adaptation points.]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up once.]
[New notification locked till user is out of battle.]
"Purple tier!" While Sebastian was happy about the level up, he was also stunned as this was his second opponent apart from the Goblin Shark that was at the purple tier.
During the past 20 minutes, he killed 4 Crocodiles with his hunting partner already which was what drew the attention of this Croc powerhouse. In the end, it simply served to increase his tally to 5.
Verni seemed to have also recognized the tier of the opponent they just killed as he shook in excitement and disbelief.
Sebastian also wanted to feel excited but he could not, his electroreceptors told him that he just attracted the attention of an even more terrifying Crocodile.
"Roar!" A loud roar of pain, anger and unwillingness reverberated through the water as an enormous Crocodile that was only slightly smaller than the alpha Croc emerged from a hole in the crater.
Seeing this Crocodile, memories flooded Sebastian's brain as he immediately recalled who it was. "Have they been keeping it as a trump card? The Mystery Pryer Croc…"
Boom!
Before Sebastian could even finish his recollection, he suffered an attack. Despite the current distance between them, just beside him, a thick sharp pillar of fire appeared which drilled a hole through his body from his abdomen.
[You have been hit by a Mystery Pryer specialty skill: Omnipresent Magic!]
[Magic Type: Fire.]
Almost at the same time that he felt the pain of being hit by the skill, Verni roared in pain as the same sharp pillar of fire drilled into his body, dealing even more damage.
Instinctively, Sebastian tried to retreat first but he hit something.
[You have been hit by another Omnipresent Magic Type: Earth.]
"How many types of magic domains does it have?"
Sebastian cursed but cursing did nothing, the pillar of earth blocked his path from escaping while others materialized out of mid-water, forming different shapes to attack him.
As he suffered damage, Verni suffered worse despite covering himself with his magic shield as the great white shark started bleeding severely.
While still roaring angrily, the mystery pryer Crocodile attacked frenziedly. It didn't just attack Sebastian and Verni, it attacked the Draconic lizards also, killing 3 in just a few seconds with its almost unrestricted magic.
Fire, earth, water, wind, lightning, almost all the basic magic domains were being used by this Crocodile as it wreaked havoc through the ranks of the enemies.
Seeing this while noting that he was still taking damage, Sebastian hesitated as he looked at his system information.
[Current MP: 520/560.]
He originally wanted to wait till his mana points were full before returning to attack the alpha Croc with the Lizard Lord, but the appearance of this powerful Crocodile brought a complication.
If left alone, he had no doubts that she could tip the scales of the battle back in favor of the Crocodiles given enough time.
As soon as another earth magic attack dug into Verni's body, making the bleeding shark roar in pain, Sebastian made his decision.
[You have activated skill: Magic Shield.]
Report chapter
[You have activated magic skill: Magic Shield!]
[You have activated sound domain skill: Sonic Drill!]
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
[You have activated skill: Magic Teeth.]
With all 4 skills active, Sebastian started his counterattack. Of course, to close the distance, he needed a catalyst which was his advanced dash skill and he did not hesitate to activate it.
Rapidly rushing close, the magic shield blocked all the elemental damage being dealt by the Mystery Pryer Croc, then his sound domain sonic drill tore a small hole through its thick skin.
Before it could react and retreat properly, Sebastian rapidly closed the remaining distance with his battering ram skill and slammed into her.
The damage dealt by his chaining of skills was lesser than he expected, but he was not flustered as he calmly retreated again before opening his mouth wide.
Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!
His magic teeth were charged properly before they started shooting out like a bullet rain. At his current level, and with him actively pumping more magic power into them, the teeth were far deadlier than before.
The mystery pryer Croc erected a huge earth shield that blocked off all the damage, but the machine gun-like bullet teeth chipped the earth shield's skin off gradually.
As soon as the defense of the earth wall became thin enough, Sebastian rapidly closed the distance with his battering ram skill again, but this time he complimented it with his spike attack skill.
In one heavy hit, he broke through the Croc's defense, dealing the first real damage to it but this Crocodile was far more fearsome than it showed.
Her defense was slightly weaker than the other Crocodiles, which was evident of the fact that she was not a melee fighter but this did not mean her defense was fragile in any sense.
She formed layers upon layers of defense, stalling all of Sebastian's attacks since he didn't intend to use his mana-draining Water Transmutation skill on her.
Not only did she defend impeccably, her elemental control omnipresent magic was so OP that she still dealt minute attacks to Sebastian which showed how powerful she was.
The more the battle dragged on, the more irritated Sebastian became but he knew that getting angry would not solve his problem. He needed to observe the battle again and make more targeted decisions.
With him dishing out every single skill that he had except his unique skill, the fact that the Mystery pryer Crocodile remained fighting showed that she was a frightening creature even at the Purple tier.
Removing a portion of his attention from her, he proceeded to observe the overall battlefield again. Through his observation, he quickly deduced that both sides were now in a fragile stalemate.
For the fierce Crocodiles with their thick skin adaptation, stalemate battles like this would only give them more of an advantage as time passed. If this continued, the Draconic lizards would be annihilated sooner than later.
Seeing this, Sebastian felt a little anxious as he was the one who drafted the plan. He expected the battle to be tight, but he still thought his uniqueness would have tipped the scales of the battle more than this.
Perhaps, it was due to the pressure of the situation, but Sebastian felt like his brain was functioning a bit faster than normal, more like it was now on overdrive which felt weird.
Right now, to turn the stalemate around, either the alpha Crocodile had to die or he activated a skill that could wipe out half of the adult Crocodiles immediately which was not feasible.
If he decided to kill the Mystery pryer Crocodile by all means, though it would affect the tides of the battle, it would not be as significant as killing the alpha considering the fact that his mana points would literally be exhausted after.
Despite how strong a display she was showing in the battle, Sebastian had no doubts that the alpha Croc was far more frightening.
Thinking of this, he turned his attention to the battle of the alphas.
Both alphas were still tied in a fierce battle, but both of them already suffered countless injuries which bled, weakening them as time passed.
Seeing this, ideas were rapidly exchanged and analyzed in Sebastian's mind as his human intelligence came into play again. Though his power stat was more than his mind stat now, his human intelligence advantage was still there.
Suddenly, he seemed to have experienced an epiphany as an idea clicked in his mind which he acted on immediately.
He returned all his attention to the Mystery Pryer Crocodile.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Tower Shield.]
As soon as the huge pitch-black tower shield appeared, Sebastian pushed it with his magic power towards the mystery pryer crocodile who instinctively reacted by erecting an earth element defense around herself.
Sebastian didn't pay attention to the defense that she erected, because offense was not his plan in the first place.
Originally, despite his last evolution and increase in stats, he could still only comfortably control one tower shield magic manifestation but he was about to push his limits this time around.
Leaving the first tower shield to hover before the Crocodile, he created a second one amid strains and a throbbing brain before aiming for the 3rd and 4th.
[Warning! You have stretched the limits of your magic power: You will either gain something from this or lose a lot.]
[Warning! Your control over your unique skill is unstable.]
[Warning! You have created a 4th Tower Shield magic manifestation, any further and your material magic organ will be at the risk of rupturing apart.]
Now, Sebastian's throbbing brain already spiked, he felt like his head was on fire but he was still sane enough to control the 4 hovering pitch-black tower shields.
After not receiving damage, the Mystery Pryer Crocodile already suspected something but it reacted late. When it raised its head from its defense to look, that was when it discovered exactly what was happening.
Under Sebastian's unstable control, the 4 tower shields quickly surrounded the Crocodile, forming what seemed like a sturdy pitch-black impenetrable prison around her, successfully cutting her off from the battle.
The metal sides extended after the 4 tower shields connected, forming new pitch-black metal surfaces to cover the remaining sides of the attachment to make the prison complete.
[Congratulations! You have invented your first stacked magic manifestation- Tower Prison!]
[You have gained 10 Invention points.]
Bam! Bam!
The Mystery pryer Crocodile finally reacted and released attacks at its new prison, but it was far too sturdy for it to break through immediately, it was trapped.
Seeing this, a sharky grin spread across Sebastian's face. Ignoring his still throbbing head, he turned to look at the alpha Crocodile with a look of bloodlust on his face.
He was in a race against time, killing the alpha Croc was now or never.
Report chapter
Boom!
The 2 alphas of the Draconic Lizard and Crocodile family clashed again, spreading shockwaves everywhere through the water as nearby creatures were pushed further away by the powerful force.
After battling with each other for so long, they already sustained countless injuries that were enough to leave an army of Orange tier predators dead.
The alpha Crocodile now had a huge and deep hole torn directly through its abdomen by its opponent's sharp arrow-head tail. The injury was so ghastly and deep that the Crocodile's bones could be seen but it still hovered, fighting strong.
Its thick skin and scales suffered gashes of various degrees. Its opponent's sharp claws were not for show, they dealt real damage to it.
Despite all that it was currently suffering, its eyes remained glittering with battle-readiness and bloodlust as it dealt damage that was equivalent or even more to its opponent already.
The Lizard Lord now looked pathetic though it was also still going strong. Compared to the damage that it dealt to the Crocodile, the damage that it received was much less precise and much rougher due to the Croc's fighting style.
Bite injuries were all over its body, spread roughly like the cuts normally in a grilled fish. One of its legs already became decapacitated, though it didn't lose it, the crushing bite of the Crocodile directly killed every muscle in it.
Like it, the Crocodile's thick powerful tail was not just for show. After numerous hits by the powerful tail, it already suffered depressions in its body that induced internal injuries.
Despite all these, both were still at a stalemate, fighting with all they had like 2 boys who were fighting for the affection of their crush.
Though their strength was gradually waning as more time went by, they were still both undoubtedly the strongest fighters on the battlefield. Each of their attacks seemed to induce natural disasters.
As the strongest creatures in this seamount, it was long since they found such powerful opponents to fight against so they didn't waste this opportunity.
They were so much addicted to the battle already that they lost all perception of their surroundings. All that dominated their mind was hit harder, bite harder, deal even more damage, rip off his freaking face.
After another bite from the Crocodile that took a huge chunk of meat from its flesh, while retaliating, the Draconic Lizard alpha heard a voice.
"Dodge!"
It was startled at first, but looking at its opponent's face it immediately deduced that the voice was only heard by it. One thing it knew was that the voice belonged to the shameless Megalodon Lord, it dodged without thinking.
Whoosh!
As soon as the Lizard Lord dodged, a loud sound of the water separating reverberated as a pitch-black arrow immediately moved past its previous location.
With a loud booming sound, the arrow got embedded into one of the eyes of the huge Crocodile alpha who immediately bellowed in rage and pain.
For the fight against the Crocodile alpha, Sebastian already explained to the Lizard Lord. He had no plans, all he would do was spam attacks while the Draconic Lizard would stabilize things from the side.
As soon as the first attack connected, it heralded the start of the frightening combo of attacks that followed.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Tower Prison!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: War Hammer!]
[You have created…]
[You have created…]
Without hesitation, as he rapidly closed the distance towards the enemy, Sebastian activated his unique skill, creating all the magic manifestations that he could without bias. None was left behind.
At the same time that they formed, his mana points drained like water flowing down a running tap.
[Mana Points: 480…, 420…, 350…, 230…]
The Crocodile alpha was mad with rage. The arrow came so fast, so abrupt, and so precise that it could not react until it lost one of its precious eyes.
As an intelligent beast, it knew how important its eyes were to it in a battle which made it wary and not erupt immediately like a rabid dog. Despite its self-restraint, it was still angry and prepared to teach who shot the arrow a lesson.
While making its spikes stand straight to amplify its defense against any ambush by the cowardly lizard, it finally looked with its last surviving eye.
What it saw made its lone eye widen in astonishment. It didn't yell for mercy though, it only growled angrily but its growl did nothing to help it.
All the magic manifestations came slamming down like a firepower bombardment from a warship.
Boom! Boom!
The war hammer first came down slamming at its head, then the lightning Axe cut at the same place in its head. These 2 caused its eyes to roll back immediately but more came.
The Ice Spears and Fire Sabers came down with staggering force, including the Flaming Swords.
The Lizard Lord was not idle, though it was astonished by the power on display, it was able to react fast and throw in a tyrannical fire breath befitting of a Draconic Lizard alpha.
When all these elements combined, all hell broke loose, and with the water visibly evaporating, a supernova explosion was formed.
The explosion was so powerful that both Sebastian and the Lizard Lord were pushed far away, with both of them suffering residual damage from the explosion.
Despite trying to stabilize himself in mid-air, Sebastian was not one to let go of opportunities to deal more damage as he activated his sound reflection skill, reflecting all the sound back inside.
For a few seconds to a minute, the bright light lingered amid the raging explosion until it finally started subsiding.
The effects of this attack were so much that it shook all the creatures on the battlefield. Stunned, they looked on in awe and fear.
When everything subsided, the raging fire subsided too to reveal the Crocodile. Right now, it was better to call it a roasted Crocodile than an alpha Crocodile.
The alpha Croc was now black all over, with a mix of red which was its hot heaving flesh underneath. Blood dyed its body completely, forming a gory sight that the creatures on the battlefield reacted mildly to.
It could no longer move, it hovered in the water paralyzed like a stroke patient. The astonishment in this was that despite the fierce damage, the Crocodile survived with the help of its thick skin though it was on the verge of death.
Wearily, it raised its head to look at Sebastian for a few seconds before turning to face the Lizard Lord. The arrogance in its face before was gone, now only tiredness and a resignation to fate were left.
Despite all these, the pride of a powerhouse was still there, including the never flinching willpower and hunger for battle.
"Old Liz, do you think he's still recuperating after so long?"
"What?" The Lizard Lord blurted out a question but the one at the receiving end could no longer answer because it was at the end of its life.
"I…, I wish you Good luck…, and your friend too". The Crocodile said its last words amidst its body breaking apart from the fiery explosion.
[You have killed…]
Sebastian didn't have the time to pay attention to the system's notification, this was because the whole seamount suddenly started shaking like an ancient existence was waking up from a deep slumber.
He turned to face the Lizard Lord, slightly panicked now as all his Megalodon instincts were now screaming danger at him.
"Who is still recuperating?"
"Who is still recuperating?" Sebastian roared again, jolting the Lizard Lord from his daze as he turned to face him with trepidation now on his face.
As the Lizard Lord looked at Sebastian while still trying hard to digest the dying words of the alpha Crocodile, the seamount kept on shaking, spreading vibrations through the water in random oscillating frequencies.
"Who is still recuperating?"
"It's the…" The Lizard Lord snapped out of its daze but he quickly became distracted again by the sound and visual effects now around the seamount.
The battling Crocodiles and Draconic lizards already stopped battling before due to the fierce battle that resulted in the death of the alpha Crocodile, now they no longer felt awe, they instead felt fear.
Every creature on the seamount felt a suppressive feeling that they have not experienced before, they felt an aura that left them feeling like thousands of boulders were tied to their backs.
Even Sebastian felt the suppressive feeling, only the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile who were still trapped in the Tower Prison magic manifestation responded mildly to it.
Despite this, the both of them shivered like they were seeing the antagonist in their nightmare come to life which left them horrified.
After gathering his nerves, a little panicked now, the Lizard Lord finally replied to Sebastian's question. "The one recuperating is the strongest predator on this seamount, Octumpedam".
Almost at the same time that Sebastian heard the Lizard Lord introduce the predator that was recuperating, his system lit up a notification to him.
[You are currently being affected by a high-grade Purple tier creature's condensed aura: You have entered the psychologically suppressed state.]
[All your attribute stat points have been suppressed by 10%, resistance depends on how high your attributes are relative to your opponent.]
[Calculating resistance attributes…, attributes calculated.]
[After calculating and comparing attributes, the suppression effect on you has been reduced to 6%.]
[The aura of an opposing apex predator has been detected: Devouring Octopus!]
This was the last sentence that Sebastian was coherent enough to hear from his system because the next moment the recuperating predator erupted.
Crack! Crack!
Sounds like those of a boulder cracking open first reverberated through the seamount, then a huge body was revealed before Sebastian with 2 glowing red eyes concentrating on his body immediately.
From the sides of the huge body of mass that dragged itself out of the seamount, enormous tentacles lashed left and right like life reapers.
This was a huge octopus, an extremely huge Octopus.
Its body was brownish red, making it seem just like hard molten rock. Unlike the other predators in this battle, it had weapons. Its enormous tentacles were armed with menacing wraps of hot red steel.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]
As Sebastian's electroreceptors blasted out, outlining the predator to see his enemy properly, it attacked without even wasting time on any prep talk.
8 tentacles shot out of the huge Octopus, all aiming at Sebastian. He was given no time to think or even react as all 8 tentacles dug into his body with force.
[You have been hit by a skill: 8-tipped Trident!]
[You have received staggering damage from your opponent: You have lost 50% of your health points.]
[You have been attacked by the magic weapon: Octranezion!]
[You have been hit by a weapon made with an enchanted metal: You have lost an additional -122 Health points.]
[You are currently suffering under the effects of the Octranezion's passive effect: Severe Internal Bleeding.]
[For 20 seconds, you will continually lose 20 HP.]
[You are currently suffering under the effects of the Octranezion's passive effect: Severe Pain Hit.]
[For each hit, you will suffer 10 more pain for 10 seconds.]
[You are currently suffering under the effects of the Octranezion's passive effect: Burning Heart.]
[For 15 seconds, you will suffer fire damage with pain like your heart is burning.]
[Effects of the fire damage have been reduced by 20% due to your Fire Skin adaptation.]
[Warning! Your health points are currently below 10%.]
[Warning! Your health points are rapidly dwindling further, and are currently below 4%.]
For a moment, Sebastian disappeared and all that was left and seen of him was blood blossoming like flowers in spring. Inside this world of red formed by his own blood, he experienced agony at its peak.
His brain seemed to have spiked in activity, and all the feedback that he received from it was that of pain.
For a moment, he seemed to have returned to earth when he suffered the first agonizing bite injury from his pet shark. The agony he felt was too similar, he no longer felt like a frightening Megalodon powerhouse but a puny human.
Right now, he couldn't even see his system's notifications again. All that he managed to glimpse was a warning, and he immediately knew that the situation was bad, probably very bad.
His vision was blurred by his blood, but he knew that he was in danger.
Trying as much as possible to ignore the biting pain all over his body, he activated a skill that he bought for situations just like this.
[You have activated skill: Rejuvenation.]
[Warning: You are still receiving damage from the Octranezion's passive effects despite healing yourself.]
Though he still received damage and the pain was still there, this useful skill showed its effects immediately as Sebastian felt the familiar strength returning to him with speed.
He activated his electroreceptors again, then he saw clearly.
At some point in time, the enormous Octopus retrieved its tentacles from his body and it was in the process of attacking again with a lone tentacle to finish the shark once and for all.
Seeing the lone tentacle aiming at him this time, Sebastian laughed inwardly as he knew that he was dead if it hit. Dodging would not solve it; the tentacle was too fast and it was now too close.
At the last moment before the collision, something else collided with it.
Boom!
With a strange defense skill activated, the Lizard Lord bravely clashed with the powerful tentacles to keep the shark alive.
His defense only held for a few seconds before it was breached. The tentacle penetrated his body, spreading blood everywhere but the damage was minimized to the lowest possible rate.
He didn't do this because he was allies with the shark, he did this because the shark was related to his old hunting partner- the motherf*cker Lord and because all hands were now needed on deck.
"Attack!" The Lizard Lord roared at his family members.
Unlike before, he no longer had that casual vibe, he now had the vibe of a war veteran Draconic Lizard who was a powerhouse at the Purple tier.
He knew the threat of this Octopus, so he reacted without hesitation. With it here, no one on this battlefield could escape, not even the Crocodiles so they all had to battle it out.
This was because of a skill that the Octopus had, Enlarge!
As he reacted, the Mystery Pryer Crocodile also reacted as she also knew the threat posed by this Octopus. It tasked them with something to do and as they failed, they had to face the consequences.
Feeling her gaze land on him, Sebastian immediately disintegrated his Tower Prison magic manifestation, relieving another Purple tier powerhouse in the battlefield.
Then as one, they all looked at the enormous Octopus.
Report chapter
From the attack on Sebastian by the enormous Octopus to the Lizard Lord substituting on his place to fend off the tentacle attack of the Octopus, to all of them preparing for battle, they all took only about 10 seconds.
Though at this short time, the Octopus was not able to do much, it was able to attack. Seeing everybody gang up on it, it no longer held back, it revealed everything.
Sebastian was not able to count them all immediately, but he was sure that over 30 tentacles were released as they lashed out wildly in the water like whips.
Once again, despite attacking everybody at the same time this time, Sebastian was given special attention as 5 tentacles were sent towards him.
Already experiencing the power and speed of the tentacles, Sebastian who was not willing to experience it again reacted before it touched him.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Heavy Armor!]
Immediately after the magic manifestation appeared, it wrapped around his huge body, fitting in like it was custom-made by an extremely precise machine.
Boom!
The tentacles finally hit with force, spreading a large sound through the surrounding. The Heavy Armor suffered a visible depression, but it held sturdily like the ancient walls of China.
Seeing this, Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief. This magic manifestation did not disappoint him, it proved itself as his strongest and most mana-draining magic manifestation.
He was able to tide through the first attack safely, but the same could not be said about the other sea creatures on the battlefield that were attacked.
The Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Shark were able to defend themselves, but every other creature on the battlefield suffered.
Bam! Bam!
The Crocodiles that were famed for their thick skin exploded like balloons after one hit from the tentacles, the weapon that wrapped around the tentacles made sure that those that survived didn't survive for long.
Every creature that suffered a direct hit died, exploding into a rain of blood.
Before the enormous Octopus could attack again, the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile did. Both of them attacked in ways that they were familiar with, which was with fire.
The huge Draconic Lizard rapidly swam closer before opening its mouth wide, unleashing a wide breath of raging fire towards the Octopus.
The Mystery Pryer Crocodile while also breathing fire, her magic power wrath mischief. The rocks in the seamount stirred on her orders, trying to tie the Octopus and restrict its tentacle movements.
Combining her water and wind magic, she formed a sharp combination like knives that tried cutting through the wildly lashing tentacles but the weapon around it protected it perfectly.
Seeing this, she quickly improvised and directed her magic skills towards the main body of the Octopus. Before they could hit, a blood-red magic shield appeared which kept all the attacks at bay.
With the 2 strongest powerhouses in the battle being restricted so perfectly, all the others were cannon-fodder who could only die.
No creature on the battlefield dared to get close to their opponent, they all tried attacking with their fire magic from range but the effects were limited.
Combining so much fire made the attack frightening, but nothing could breach the magic shield erected by the Octopus. It was like it was indomitable, nothing could stop its slaughter.
Every second, a Mammoth Crocodile and a Draconic Lizard died with their leaders being unable to take revenge for them.
For Sebastian, he was powerful but his most important asset, his mana points were already almost depleted.
Using it to maintain his Heavy Armor magic manifestation was already a stretch, he didn't dare try to create another magic manifestation.
His health was a little over 500 points now after using his rejuvenation skill, but he didn't feel safe at all as every second his MP decreased more.
Seeing this, he knew that waiting for a miracle would not work this time. Instead of waiting hopelessly, he instead decided to direct his brain to do more analyzing work.
As he analyzed, he noticed despite the intensity of the battle, the enormous Octopus never left its position to enable its attack to reach even further. It was like it was restricted to that place alone which was weird.
He tried to analyze another thing, but he could not as the voice that he heard the next moment left him at the point of despair.
"B-big bro, I'm dying". Verni called out softly.
The Great White Shark was currently bleeding severely, having suffered a tentacle attack that tore through his body completely. The passive effects of the Octopus's weapons were slowly killing him.
Only his strong vitality as a Great White Shark and his self-preservation skills were the main reasons that were barely keeping it alive.
Seeing this sight, Sebastian felt a ripping sound going through his heart, he felt like tearing his hair apart if he had one.
He didn't feel scared yet since his HP was still slightly abundant, but since evolving to become a Megalodon, this was the first time that he felt so helpless in a battle.
He felt an urge to create another Heavy Armor magic manifestation and cover Verni with it to protect him, but he didn't have that luxury.
[Warning! Your MP is now lower than 10%.]
"Noooo!" Sebastian felt despair grip his heart.
Right now, he started regretting his decision to attack the Crocodile kingdom. As he regretted, only one sentence reverberated in his mind, 'there's always a price to any decision taken'.
A distance away, the Lizard Lord fought with rage now clouding his features. Despite all the effort that he put in, the Octopus's shield still held while his family members died like chickens in Christmas.
He felt the temptation countless times to rush closer and deal real damage, but he knew that doing that was equivalent to committing suicide.
He had no doubts that if the Octopus really caught him, death was his only fate. Right now, only one thing dominated his mind. "Octumpedam recovered even further than the last time".
A few meters away, the Mystery Pryer Crocodile experienced the same. Pushed by despair, from attacking, she switched to defending with her omnipresent magic to help more Crocodiles survive the onslaught.
She already gave up winning, now all she focused on was delaying the inevitable.
Sebastian observed the battle one more time and discovered that help was really coming from nowhere. "I thought I was a protagonist; I can't die like this. System, do something".
[There's nothing that can be done, host has full control of his destiny.]
Seeing this, Sebastian felt even more horrified and scared. Perhaps, due to his strength, he already gradually forgot that he was once a human but it was at this moment that he was brought back to reality.
He may be a powerful Megalodon now, but at the core of his heart, he was still a human. He had emotions, he knew fear, he knew despair.
Boom!
Another special attention attack from the enormous Octopus finally did it.
[Warning! Your MP has been depleted.]

"No, system please help, I don't want to die".
[Sebastian!]
"Please, help, I don't want to die. Please, you promised that I'll become the Ocean Master, I still haven't dissected even 1% of creatures in Oceania yet".
[SEBASTIAN!]
For the first time since Sebastian got the system, it yelled at him which made him stiffen as his thoughts were jolted awake.
[Sebastian! You were chosen for reincarnation for a reason, the system decided on you despite countless others having died the same day as you did.]
[The system saw potential in you that is why you were reincarnated.]
[And remember, your soul is a human, you are an anatomist, you are a genius who succeeded in creating a variant between a Great White and a Whale Shark against all odds.]
[Use that brain of yours, use that genius brain of yours that enabled you to constantly break the convention, giving yourself the crazy dissector nickname.]
[Always remember this, no matter how powerful you become in the future, your brain will always be your greatest strength and it is the main reason why you became a target for reincarnation.]
[As you said, you haven't even dissected 1% of creatures in Oceania yet, who is that Octopus to stop you? Pick yourself up Crazy dissector, don't let your nickname down.]
[Go down there, get your dissecting scissors, and cut that beast open. Dissect it, get its loot, read its basic profile information, show it the might of an anatomist who is called crazy!]
[Remember, you're the Crazy Dissector!]
For some reason, the words said by the system stabbed so deep inside him that Sebastian felt like a fire seed was sprouted in his heart.
Right now, this fire seed was analyzing the words, breaking them down to bits and pieces, spreading them, and harnessing the wisdom in them.
Boom!
Another tentacle dug into his body, tearing another huge hole through his abdomen. The pain was striking as usual but he didn't yell in pain this time, he reacted in the most inconceivable manner possible.
"F*ck you, Octum- whatever you are called! F*ck you!"
"I'm Sebastian, I'm an anatomist, the craziest anatomist ever! I'm…"
Boom!
Sebastian ground his teeth, ignoring the pain that was stabbing at his brain as he roared. "I'm the Crazy Dissector!"
[Warning! Your health is currently below…]
"I'm the Crazy Dissector!"
As Sebastian yelled this a second time, his brain suddenly cleared up. He no longer felt like he was on a battlefield, he now felt like he was back in his lab.
His dissecting scissors were now his skills, this battlefield was his lab, and the other creatures on the battlefield were his assistants. It was time to dissect this stubborn octopus, and as the lead anatomist, he needed to lead the charge.
As he thought, he remembered an active skill that he got from one of his adaptations- the Blood Vampire skill.
This skill could directly take 70% of an opponent's health points no matter how big the health points are, it didn't discriminate between a White tier powerhouse and a Purple tier powerhouse, they were all the same before it.
"Clear the way before me!" He suddenly roared, spreading the sound with his sound control skill so that both the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile understood it.
Because of the weapon wrapping the tentacles, he could not bite them to apply the skill but he could for the main body of the Octopus.
[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]
Neither the Lizard Lord nor the Mystery Pryer Crocodile understood the plan of the shark, but they still heard and did according to what he said.
Seeing Sebastian rapidly accelerate downward, the both of them stacked their skills together, trying every means to prevent the Octopus's tentacles from attacking the shark during this time before it accomplished its goal.
The Octopus didn't even try to prevent the shark from swimming towards its main body, it welcomed the shark with opened tentacles.
Sebastian moved with such speed that he became a blur. In less than a second, he arrived before the Octopus's shield and collided with it.
The force of inertia of suddenly being stopped by the shield made his body feel mangled up, despite this he held on. The shield stopped him, but the frightening momentum that he already gathered reared its head.
Boom!
The tentacles finally attacked him again, but he did not stop. The momentum force pushed him through, making the shield bend like it was elastic. And by this bending, he was slowly lowered towards the Octopus's body.
Seeing this, the next moment, the Octopus made a decision. A small part of its shield opened up, allowing Sebastian in as it prepared to attack the troublesome shark properly.
Bam! Bam!
Attacks landed with force and wreaked Sebastian's body but he held on just to get close enough to his target's skin.
[Warning! Your HP is now below 10%.]
It was at this moment that he came into contact with the Octopus's body, but he wasn't allowed to open his mouth for a bite due to the tentacles tightly wrapping around his body.
His brain rapidly swirled, then instead of biting, he simply opened his mouth, prayed to his God for luck, and grazed the Octopus's skin with his teeth.
Blood flowed as his sharp teeth cut across, but that was all to the other creatures. Not to Sebastian though, he was sweating bullets as he waited for his system's notification to tell him the outcome of his gamble.
[You have activated Vampire Teeth Adaptation's active skill: Blood Vampire.]
[You have successfully activated the Blood Vampire state.]
The next moment, what happened made the Octopus react in disbelief. A strange blood power ravaged through its body before triggering.
There was no loud sound to indicate a powerful attack, it was a frightening silent internal breakdown.
[You have dealt staggering damage to your opponent: You have wiped 70% of your opponent's HP.]
Yeeeeeeeeek!!!
The Octopus let out a loud strange sound in pain as its body shuddered like it was in agony. Its brain became unstable, bringing chaos which disrupted its tentacle attack and its defense shield.
"Attack!"
They didn't need the Lizard Lord's yell first, seeing this, every survivor on the battlefield drained themselves and unleashed their strongest attacks.
Having prepared a contingency plan against this, Sebastian forced his now weak body to swim forward to hide behind the Octopus's enormous body.
The Octopus suffered this round of attacks, leaving its body filled with holes, and blood injuries but it was not dead yet, it wasn't even weak yet as its red glowing eyes angrily glared at the enemies.
It didn't have a skill like the electroreceptors, so it didn't know where the troublesome shark escaped to but this didn't prevent it from wreaking havoc.
Octumpedam's retaliation was powerful and deadly.
The tentacles lashed out with even more force this time, slamming Draconic Lizards and Crocodiles to death with each blow as the enormous Octopus struggled like it was trying to break free from invisible restraints.
From euphoria, its attackers were plunged straight to despair again as they started dying to its attacks in waves.
Amid this slaughter, Verni still held on to that remaining sliver of life, looking for its big bro with panic-filled but hopeful eyes.
At this moment, 5 newcomers entered the battlefield and the first creature that they laid their sight on was the Octopus, then the great White Shark.
"Verni!" The leading newcomer called.
Report chapter
When Verni heard the voice calling out to him, he didn't even need to look as he felt a wave of relief surge into his heart. He felt like crying but he could not, he recognized this voice, it was a voice belonging to his family member.
"Tungsten!" He called back wearily.
At this moment, amid the raging battle, despite being at the very forefront of the battle only behind Sebastian, the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile noticed the 5 newcomers immediately after they appeared.
These 5 newcomers were sharks, precisely Great White Sharks. They looked different because of the varying adaptations that they had on their body, but their essence as Great Whites could not still be overshadowed.
At their very front stood the powerful leading Great White who Verni called back at after recognizing his voice, Tungsten.
This shark was different from the others, it towered at a size of 15 meters just like Sebastian. At its forehead, it had a sharp menacing horn-like adaptation that left it emitting demon vibes.
It had spikes at the sides of its body just like Sebastian. All these were minor features, the most glaring feature about it was its glowing pure white eyes like those of a blind anime old monster.
This was the second strongest Great White Shark in the shark family being led by the powerful Old Mak. And alongside Verni, they were the only official students of their leader.
Though he was not at the purple tier yet, he was a powerful powerhouse who was at the pinnacle of the Orange tier at level 20. It was because he hasn't found the perfect moment yet, that was why he was still at the Orange tier.
A few days ago, his fellow student who was his master's favorite, Verni went out with another group of family members for his curiosity expeditions.
After becoming of age, Old Mak said every shark has the freedom to live his or her own life but they must always remember to put the family first, so such curiosity expeditions were not prohibited.
Unfortunately, Verni and his group encountered a terrifying enemy. Teeth killed 3 Great Whites on the spot with all the others escaping. Not willing to give up the pursuit, Teeth decided to go after Verni.
As a shark that Old Mak saw as his favorite, Verni was able to keep himself alive while escaping for days. While this happened, the Great White family also detected the problem.
Without wasting time, Old Mak organized a team and assigned his other student, Tungsten to be the leader. And here they were after days of tracking.
At this moment, Tungsten's pure white eyes quickly turned sharp like daggers as he focused on the bleeding shark.
He was not alone on this, seeing their kin in such a bloody and half-death state, the 4 other Great Whites behind him revealed looks of bloodlust and anger.
Of course, Tungsten wanted to charge into the battlefield immediately and teach the offender a lesson but he recognized who the enemy was. He already heard of the terrifying Octumpedam from his master.
He felt shocked that this terrifying Octopus was injured by other sea creatures, but he didn't want to know how it happened. It didn't take him long before he came to a decision.
"You are all to cooperate with me, our mission is to rescue Verni and not to engage in the battle. Activate your magic shields and follow me". As a powerful shark, his intelligence was also up to par, even more than Verni's.
As soon as they heard his order, the Great White Sharks became obedient like primary school kids as they looked at Tungsten attentively in anticipation of the next orders from him.
"Now!"
Tungsten activated his magic shield, prompting a white magic shield to appear at his front as he charged into the raging battlefield towards the dying Great White Shark. The other sharks rapidly followed behind him.
They stacked their magic shields together, forming a combined shield that was far stronger than just 11111.
Bam! Bam!
They attacked but they had no intention to kill, using skills was just to clear up a path through the suffering sea creatures to get to their target at the fastest possible speed.
Unlike the others who were already exhausted from battle, they were still as fresh and vibrant as a new Buggati Bolide that just came out of the factory.
They were not powerful enough to confront the Octopus, but that was not their plan from the onset. They simply burst in with speed and started pushing every obstacle away with their speed.
At the front of the formation, Tungsten rushed forward, bombarding every obstacle away with his frightening brute power.
It only took them about a minute before they got to Verni's position but as soon as they got there, the terrifying predator noticed them.
While thrashing wildly in anger, killing the puny prey before him, Octumpedam was still looking for the shark who injured him. He didn't know how he was doing it, but this shark was so well hidden that he still couldn't find it.
Pushed by his growing frustration and anger, on seeing the new sharks, he immediately decided to vent on them. It instantly started directing the same special attention that he gave to Sebastian at them.
8 of its tentacles abandoned the other prey, then they all shot towards the 5 sharks who were trying to save their comrade.
Tungsten noticed it, but there was little that he could do as the 8 tentacles slammed into their combined shield, breaching it immediately.
Boom!
3 of the sharks suffered severe damage immediately, and at the last moment, Tungsten jumped in to take the damage, or else Verni would have died from the attack.
He didn't know why the Octopus was suddenly triggered, but he knew that the situation had already gone way too wrong. He roared an order at his companions after making another decision.
"Use the device!"
Without asking questions, 2 of the injured sharks immediately retreated as a device that looked like an old typewriter with a large circle at its middle suddenly appeared before the 2 sharks.
The other 2 sharks, including Tungsten, stood their ground not only to protect Verni but now to protect the 2 sharks also.
While taking refuge behind their companions, the 2 sharks went to work.
Bam! Bam!
The tentacles lashed out wildly and dangerously, giving the 3 sharks including Tungsten severe injuries in seconds but they still held their ground, holding to that sliver of hope which was the device.
Back on the main battlefield, the Mammoth Crocodiles and Draconic Lizards felt a rare moment of respite after the Octopus focused on the sharks but its effects in turning the tides of the battle were minimal.
Too many Lizards and Crocodiles already died to the frightening predator, the battle was now unsalvageable.
And even though the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile finally started dealing damage to Octumpedam's main body after Sebastian's attack, they still suffered more and grew tired faster.
They already lost hopes of winning, all they wanted to do now was hit and give the Octopus as much pain as possible before they died.
As the battle raged on, Tungsten and his group were already beaten to the same state that Verni was, bringing their combat power to the barest minimum.
"Are you not done?" Tungsten growled.
"..." The sharks didn't reply for a few seconds as they continued their operation but they soon stopped. "Done!"
Immediately after the word 'done' reverberated, the surrounding water space contracted. Before the astonished eyes of the other predators on the battlefield, a huge teleportation portal was opened.
Unlike the small-range teleportation skill that was used against Sebastian some time ago when he visited the city of eels, what this device erected was a long-range teleportation portal.
Bzzz!
The water space shook and vibrated like a volcano was erupting, making the water bubble fiercely amid sizzling sounds. In this environment, an enormous snout passed through the portal.
The next moment, the full body of the enormous Great White Shark was pushed through to the other side of the portal. It emerged intimidatingly.
This was a Great White Shark that towered at a size of over 20 meters, dwarfing both the dead alpha Crocodile and the Lizard Lord.
Its enormous body looked plain, but all its adaptations were hidden inside its body. Its eyes glowed a deep red, and its teeth looked as sharp as swords that were just created from a forge.
Sweeping the battlefield with its eyes, it immediately understood the situation as its eyes were left trained on the thrashing Octopus.
From afar, seeing this enormous Shark, the Lizard Lord felt memories surge back to him as he visibly shuddered. "Old Mak!"
Report chapter
Seeing the new purple tier powerhouse that suddenly emerged into the battlefield, Octumpedam was startled and even more enraged. Without hesitation, a portion of his tentacles lashed at the Great White Shark.
Old Mak instantly detected the 2 other purple tier powerhouses on the battlefield after arriving. As a purple tier Great White, his electroreceptors were far more formidable than Sebastian's.
He didn't need to communicate with the 2 purple tier powerhouses, they understood their current situation and knew exactly what to do.
For him, he also knew what to do and he already started doing it.
Old Mak's glowing deep red eyes suddenly recessed while flickering as it turned a silvery blue color the next moment. At the same time that his eyes turned, his magic power descended.
Bzzz!
Silvery blue streaks of thunder suddenly descended, and with lightning power accompanying them, they coiled around the enormous Great White Shark like his obedient students.
Amid this thunderstorm surrounding his body, Old Mak first formed a magic shield with his basic magic power to safeguard his family members, then he finally smashed his way forward towards the Octopus's body.
As soon as he moved, the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile who were now emboldened for battle again rushed after him, their destination being the main body of the Octopus.
Seeing this sight, Octumpedam retrieved all his 30 tentacles and focused them on the 3 powerhouses especially Old Mak, then the battle began.
Boom! Boom!
Thunder, lightning, and fire magic raged fiercely, impacting the Octopus's body as both Old Mak and the Lizard Lord got close enough to the Octopus to start dealing real damage.
With the focus no longer being on her, the Mystery Pryer Crocodile finally had the avenue to display her full power. She unleashed her omnipresent magic with her remaining mana with thunderous power.
Old Mak led the charge, then the both of them supported behind him. Not only the both of them, all the other sea creatures on the battlefield attacked.
Dozens of them already died to this Octopus, and now that the survivors finally had the chance to counter-attack, though their powers were still suppressed by the opponent's aura, they gave their all.
Once again, Octumpedam started bleeding while receiving damage even though he also retaliated with force.
The force induced by the increased intensity of the battle already started making the center of the Crocodile kingdom crack. Lava was now spilling out from the exposed rocks, these were manifestations of how fierce the battle was.
There was no longer a clear winner, the victor of the battle was now up in the air and both sides were ready to strive for it with their all.
…
[You are currently in a location filled with high-tier berserk mana.]
[Mana Source: Devouring Octopus.]
[Your Mana recovery speed has increased by 20 times: You are currently recovering 20 MP each second.]
[Warning! Wisps of high-grade human magic have been detected!]
Seeing these series of notifications, Sebastian was shocked as a lot of speculations went through his mind. Through his electroreceptors, he could still see the ongoing battle which made him anxious to think faster.
During the battle, he already noticed some strange facts about the Octopus. It was so strong that if it moved its main body from its static location, he had no doubts that they would have all been dead by now.
Before he went to try his Blood Vampire skill on the Octopus, he remembered his rules and he formed a contingency plan which was to escape here.
It was to seek temporary refuge against the Octopus, and also to crack the mystery about why the Octopus was always stuck in one place. And he was right, coming down here what he saw proved it.
Under where the Octopus was stuck was a huge deep abyss-like hole. Inside it was not dark as expected, it instead glowed in a faint white and red color.
Connected to the Octopus was a chain, a chain formed from a rainbow-colored magic power. This chain tightly held the Octopus, keeping it in one place.
When he saw this, Sebastian already had guesses but the system's notification clarified him. This Octopus apparently fought with a human powerhouse, and the result was it being chained here.
From his rapidly recovering mana points, he guessed that not just the physical body of the Octopus was chained. He guessed that its magic power and life force were also restricted here.
It seemed nonsensical, but through the knowledge that he already had about this world, he guessed that the white light in this hole was the Octopus's dissipating life force while the red color was its dissipating magic power.
Coming to all these realizations, he shuddered in fear. "Despite being suppressed in all these areas, it is still this powerful. F*ck! How powerful is this Octumpedam really?"
Through this, Sebastian knew more about the power of humans in this world. He felt a curiosity burning in his heart to explore underground, but the current plight of the Octopus burned every such enthusiasm in his heart.
[Ding! MP has been restored: 560/560.]
[You are currently in a mana-saturated state: You are no longer suppressed by the condensed aura of your opponent, rather, your magic power and magic skills will experience a 10% increase in power in this region.]
[You are currently in a mana-full state: Your mana points will not decrease no matter how many magic skills you use in this region.]
As Sebastian looked at the latest system notification in a daze, another booming sound of battle reverberated, drawing him back to the present.
His electroreceptors focused, allowing him to see the ongoing battle. As he looked, the system notification kept on flashing through his mind as hope started blooming in his heart again.
He didn't care how this place came about, all he knew was that it was helpful to him and through it, he could finally unleash his unique skill without restraints for the first time since he got it.
For the clause that if he left this region he may leave the mana-saturated state, he didn't give a damn because he didn't need to leave in the first place.
After using his unique skill for so long, he knew that its range could reach the main body of the Octopus conveniently without problems.
When he turned back to look at the Octopus, his eyes gleamed in a fearsome manner. "Octumpedam, today, you die to the Crazy Dissector".
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
Report chapter
Outside the hole, in the main battlefield, the battle was already at the ultimate climax as both parties were now engrossed in it and giving their all. Blood flowed, opponents died, but Octumpedam remained standing.
Even Old Mak was now bleeding severely. Compared to the first time that he appeared looking plain and simple, now, his hidden adaptations already appeared, making him look like a mythical shark.
Despite all these and with the help of the 2 other purple tier powerhouses, this Octopus was still proving too strong to kill.
From the normal 35 Mammoth Crocodiles that were on the battlefield, less than 8 Mammoth Crocodiles were left swimming and all of them were injured.
For the Draconic Lizards, from their original 40 lineup that they came with, those that survived and were still fighting were less than 20.
All these showed the power of the frightening Octopus. If they knew that its current strength was due to it being suppressed, its opponents may have already given up and presented themselves as free food.
The battle was already at that point where fast, sad, and blood-boiling music was playing in the background to highlight it.
It was already at that point where the winner would be decided.
…
After Old Mak passed through the teleportation portal, another Great White Shark came through it shortly after. She had healing magic power, and she already tended to the injured sharks.
Right now, she was focused on healing her leader from a distance.
Amid the raging battle and the berserk-fighting style of the enormous Great White Shark, she was the main reason why the shark leader kept on fighting.
At this point, everything already started pointing that they would lose despite Old Mak's addition but he still didn't give up yet. After decades as a predator in Oceania, one of his greatest rules was that it was never over until it was over.
In the middle of the disaster being caused by the battle, something else appeared, something from a Shark that originally disappeared for a few minutes.
Boom!
Before the startled eyes of the battling predators and even Octumpedam himself, 5 blueish-white Ice Spears suddenly dug through the main body of the Octopus, spreading blue blood everywhere.
[Special Effect Detected: Your Ice Spears magic manifestation has successfully triggered the freezing effect.]
[Freezing Damage has been triggered: Additional -10 freezing damage would be dealt every second for 10 seconds.]
[You have created magic manifestation: War Hammer!]
[You have created magic manifestation: Flaming Sword!]
[You have created…]
Sebastian used the magic manifestation spamming strategy again, but this time it was much more dangerous and effective.
To the astonishment of every predator on the battlefield including Octumpedam, the 5 spears were not the end. As a part of the Octopus froze, other weapons emerged, digging through its body from below and dealing damage.
Booming sounds reverberated as the war hammer struck the Octopus's main body from below, dealing astronomical damage with each blow as depressions appeared on the Octopus's body.
Dozens of flaming swords cut rampantly, fire sabers slashed left and right without restraints, lightning axes hacked down with frightening force, and arrows were shot out, tearing the Octopus's body apart.
In a few seconds, the location of the Octopus's main body blossomed with blue blood flying everywhere as the weapons continued their dark work. A scenario of carnage presented itself immediately.
[You have dealt astronomical stacked damage to your opponent: You have dealt -3438 damage!]
[You have dealt astronomical stacked damage…]
[You have dealt astronomical stacked damage…]
[You have triggered talent: Adrenaline Surge!]
[Effects: All your skills will experience a 30% increase in efficacy for 40 seconds, and all your adaptations will experience a 15% increase in durability and usefulness.]
Yeeeeeeeek!!!
Octumpedam made the weird sound of pain again as it reverberated through the water loudly, showing how much agony it was experiencing.
He retrieved his tentacles, striking underneath his body but the tentacles caught no opponent. He tried flipping his body to see the enemy, but he could not as the magic chains held him in place.
Trying to add too much force would bring backlash damage to him that would leave him feeling like his brain was being torn out of his body.
Unfortunately, he didn't have a skill like electroreceptors which would have been a lifesaver to him at this moment.
Seeing the sudden change of situation in the battlefield, despite not understanding or even knowing what was happening, Old Mak only hesitated slightly before shooting down a thick bolt of thunder.
Even if he didn't know who was secretly helping them, his experience as a predator told him that the enemy of your enemy was your friend so why hesitate?
As soon as Old Mak attacked, every other surviving predator on the battlefield reacted as they threw out their strongest skills one last time at the Octopus.
Even Verni attacked with vengeance. "For Big bro!"
Combining all these attacks, they formed a terrifying combo that chipped thousands of HP from the Octopus every second. He tried retaliating but Sebastian's unrelenting barrage left him helpless and frustrated.
Yeek! Yeek!! Yeek!!!
He kept on wailing, making the weird noise in pain and agony but no one came to his plight. His health points kept on dwindling, and in a few minutes, it decreased to that dangerously low level.
At this moment, it was already a fact that Octumpedam was dying. Knowing this also, the Octopus's brain moved as he came to a painful decision fast.
Suddenly, his enormous body glowed a deep yellowish red color as his magic power spiked. The next moment, his bleeding body jerked before becoming stiff.
He was dead, but that was what the other predators thought, Sebastian thought otherwise as his system didn't give him any such notification.
While he rapidly tried to analyze the skill that the Octopus used at the end, he saw something that surprised him. He saw a miniature version of the Octopus rapidly descending down the hole.
Apart from the size, another difference between it and the main body was that it was blueish and illusory like a phantom soul.
Seeing this, Sebastian was stunned and the Octopus soul was stunned too as it detected the Great White Shark.
While in a dilemma of if his normal skills would work against a soul, Sebastian was once again surprised as he felt mental signals entering his brain.
He somehow understood them, and the mental signals were emotions of fear and panic from the Octopus.
"Panic?" Sebastian's brain suddenly clicked, then he attacked with a skill that he originally seldom used in battles.
[You have activated skill: Sound Control.]
[You have created a random vibrational sound wave: Die!]
The next moment, the sound filled the hole, spreading everywhere.
Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
As the sound reverberated, the Octopus soul shivered before shrinking up. Silent wails started being let out by it but Sebastian didn't relent as the soul started dissipating like it was being erased from the world.
"Please, don't kill me".
Sebastian suddenly felt another mental signal enter his brain but he did not relent, he continued blasting out the out-of-tune sound.
"Please, I'm innocent!"
"Don't kill me!"
"You'll die too if I die, that's how the magic power in this hole works!"
Hearing that, Sebastian's willpower wavered a bit but when he remembered movies that he watched from his previous world, he hardened his heart and intensified his actions.
"If you spare me, I'll make you become a purple tier powerhouse!"
"Do you know who I am? I am a red tier power…"
The soul flickered before finally dissipating.
[Congratulations! You have killed a Red tier mutated Devouring Octopus…]

"…"
"R-Red tier?!" At this moment, horror was an under-expression to describe Sebastian's current emotions as he rapidly went through the information that was before him, devouring every single detail.
Because of the strength revealed by the Devouring Octopus, Sebastian already rated it to be at the top of purple tier creatures but never in his dream did he expect it to be a red tier monster.
As he thought of this, his brain geared as he started making connections to this hole where he currently was and the rainbow magic chain that was attached to the body of the octopus.
From what the system just revealed, the octopus was injured before now. And combining this with the earlier notification of the system, everything became as clear as bright daylight to him.
Apparently, this Devouring octopus was engaged in a fierce battle with a human powerhouse long ago and it ended up injured.
For years now, it was restricted here by a magic skill of the human and mostly because it was weakened. During this time, it lay low, silently recuperating.
As he thought of this, he remembered how the Lizard Lord phrased his words when he explained to him about his ultimate battle alongside his hunting partner.
According to the lizard, he defeated the strongest monster in the seamount with the motherf*cker Lord which necessarily didn't mean that they killed it.
His best guess was that if the motherf*cker Lord really reincarnated from earth like him, then he/she also had a system. And through this system, he/she was able to know that they didn't kill the octopus completely.
It was the same for him, if he didn't go under the octopus to seek refuge, he would have never found out about the hole that was saturated with mana nor would he have found the escaping soul.
For the soul of the octopus that tried to escape, he could only wave it off as a skill used by Octumpedam lest it gave him a headache.
As he made all these connections, he felt excited and like a veil was finally lifted from his eyes. Discovering things was always something that brought him joy as an anatomist, and experiencing it here now brought him endless joy.
For the hidden inheritance reward that he got for completing something impossible mission, he attributed it to the 1st Sea King as this was the Sea King whom the system revealed to him to have wielded the unique skill before.
He was a little surprised by the title given to him. Due to the nature of the water transmutation unique skill, he originally thought that the Sea King's title would have been the Imagination King, Ocean King was out of his expectations.
All he felt was that for that Sea King to give himself such a title, he must have been freakishly arrogant and shameless.
Putting all these behind him, he came back to the system notifications. The first thing that his attention went to was the unseen system notification, he narrowed down on it without hesitation.
[You have killed a Purple tier mutated Mammoth Crocodile- Level 29: You have gained experience.]
[You have gained 71 Skill points and 50 Adaptation points.]
[You have killed the first alpha of a purple-rated sea animal kingdom: You have gained 100 Skill points and 200 Adaptation points.]

[You have gained reputation: Crocodile Wrestler!]
[You have acquired a passive ability: Bane of Mammoth Crocodiles!]
[Remark: You are slowly on your way to becoming the Ocean Master. Your legendary story has started from this world of fire.]
Seeing this, Sebastian wanted to stay reserved but he could not help it as a sharky grin spread across his face. He rephrased the system's words.
"Slowly, I'm on my way to becoming the greatest dissector in Oceania".
After reveling in the joy of his accomplishment for about a minute, his attention went to the other notifications from his system. At a glance, he knew that he would not be able to go through everything now.
Though he felt tempted, he forced himself because through his electroreceptors, he could see the survivors of the battle above the octopus's body still looking at it warily.
Right now, they needed that word to know that they were victorious.
