Ocean Master

Chapter 13 - The Leroy Clan Army.

Sebastian still felt like he was dreaming. It still felt unreal to him, as soon as he accepted the proposal laid down by Leroy, his status in the clan changed immediately.

This was when he finally knew how authoritative the clan head was, and how much the clan members respected him.

When Leroy said power-leveling him, the big turtle meant it. It was already 2 days since he was brought to the clan lair, and these 2 days already proved to be his best since coming to this world.

As soon as he accepted the proposal, he was personally led by Leroy to a secret location of the lair where he was not taken to before during the tour.

Compared to the main lair, this place hidden under the floor formation of corals was plain and mundane. Despite this, what Sebastian saw here brought his eyes to the verge of popping in shock.

During the tour a few minutes ago, he didn't notice it at first but when he was brought to the secret place, he noticed something.

The clan members of the clan were all fishes or sea creatures that had a certain strength to their name that was given by their bloodline.

Throughout the tour, he did not see a single one of his most frequent prey since he came here, the Blue Tang. Not only this, but a lot of other weak fish species like the Banded Butterflyfish, and the Blue-banded Goby.

When he asked, Leroy solemnly replied that only competent fellows were qualified to become a member of his clan. They needed power to survive in Oceania, allying with weak prey would make them weak.

According to Leroy, at various intervals, if food becomes scarce in the expanse, they migrated temporarily with the clan's army to other expanses where they could hunt food to bring back to the clan.

And in this secret place that Sebastian was brought to stood the foundation of the army, this was their base.

According to Leroy, most members of the army were already out hunting for the clan, but what presented itself to Sebastian still left him taken aback. He thought for a moment that he was taken to a U.S secret military base.

Of course, the forgemen, who were the crabs could not craft modern military weapons, but they were more than competent enough to craft mundane cold weapons.

At a section of the secret base, all that dominated here was roughly made metals, the ones made in that shape were too crude for Sebastian to call them a sword; it was an insult but they were still usable.

Not only in sword shapes, but dozens of other weapons also made roughly in shapes of hammers, spears, dominated this section of the base.

Sebastian had no idea how the soldiers who were fishes would be able to wield the weapons, but he didn't bother asking further about it. After all, Oceania is powered by magic.

Only the weapons were the exceptional army-like section in the base, the other parts were occupied by the army members that didn't go hunting.

Seeing the sea creatures that presented themselves before him, Sebastian suddenly felt inadequate from every fiber of his being.

He saw extremely large Tuna fish with super sharp fins attached to their enormous hides, Grouper fish whose heads already mutated to a shape similar to that of a hammer.

He had not witnessed it yet, but he didn't dare fantasize the scenario of being hit by such an enormous head. He easily guessed that the impact would be like being rammed by a truck.

He saw numerous wolf fish with teeth as long and sharp as daggers, he shuddered when this group of soldiers turned in his direction.

Seeing this originally deadly fish back on earth like this did not stab him much, what really killed his spirit was when he saw crayfish soldiers.

They were tinier than the other soldiers, just like on earth, but he did not dare underestimate these little devils. Unlike the others, they held their weapons with no intention to let them go despite a battle not currently going on.

Roughly made daggers, that was their weapons. When they saw Sebastian look their way, they swiped the daggers at the water menacingly to show this newcomer his place. Sebastian shuddered.

After getting him to meet his army, Leroy patted him on the back. "Sebastian, welcome to the Leroy clan army".

"Big Group is the commander, follow them and behave well, they'll help you stack up levels very soon".

After that, Leroy left, and Sebastian was left with the lunatic muscled fishes. Surprisingly, he wasn't harassed as he thought, they welcomed him amiably into their ranks and took him out to level up shortly after.

Now, here he was, a level 4 great white shark already.

Compared to when he leveled 2 times in a row after killing the highly leveled Tuna, the leveling speed was slow but according to Leroy, he was super-fast already.

According to him, the more highly leveled you are, the more experience it took to level up, and that it may be years before he leveled again at his level.

"Sebastian, want to go level up?"

Sebastian snapped out of his daze and turned his head to take a look. The owner of the voice was Spankster, the name was weird but she was the real deal. As a swordfish, she was one of the deadliest soldiers in the clan.

She was a fish above level 5 too, so she already has access to basic magic. When she activates her magic, it empowers her bill, making it super sharp and hot, enabling it to easily penetrate the thick hides and scales of her prey.

According to rumors that Sebastian heard during his stay here, she was among the top 5 strongest warriors of the army just below Big Group.

This brought him another conundrum; when he fought with Big Group, he didn't know then that the fellow was that strong. This made him realize how lucky he was, the Grouper fish was just playing with him then.

"You going?" She asked again.

Sebastian quickly snapped out of his daze. "Are you going alone?"

"No, this time I'm preparing for a small-scale war with the Sting Tail bastards. The clan needs more food to breed a develop batch of warriors, so we have to go beyond the normal this time".

"This will be your first war alongside us, so come along, you know the clan head has high expectations for you".

As she spoke, Sebastian noticed from the back about a cluster of 2 dozen soldiers of the clan coming from behind her. Seeing him, they greeted and he smoothly greeted back.

After 2 days staying here, he already adapted a lot.

Seeing them, he smiled as they all looked good to his eyes. One thing that he loved about the Leroy clan after he joined them was that they hated snakes even more than he did. A perfect bromance.

"Ok, let's go, I want to see how good these Sting Tail bastards are also".
