Ocean Master

Chapter 173 - Badluck Is More Dangerous Than The Ambush From 10,000 Black Tier Predators.

Without his magic power, Sebastian was like a toothless tiger, or better still a toothless shark. This ruthless move from the old toad effectively lowered his overall battle strength to a dangerous level.

Without his magic power, Sebastian had no access to his Water Transmutation unique skill, he had no access to his basic magic shield, and he also had no access to his important sound domain magic.

Instantly, he felt like a sheep without shepherd.

Perhaps, in normal circumstances, this would have not been too dangerous but the fact remained that at this moment, 3 dangerous purple tier predators were after his head.

He wanted to rapidly start thinking of a solution but he was given no time. The 3 stronger predators rushed after him with malicious expressions on their predatory faces, and of course, the previously cowardly old toad took the lead.

The dangerous tongue adaptation was used again as the whip-like tongue lashed out at Sebastian. Without his magic shield and his tower shield magic manifestation, he was completely exposed to this attack.

Bam! Bam!

Sebastian instinctively positioned his body in a way to minimize the impact but it did little as the sharp tongue cut through his skin like a hot knife cutting through butter. 

He gasped in pain as blood flowed from his belly like a fountain. Due to the viscosity of the water, the blood immediately mixed with it, making his surroundings turn dirtily bloody as more poured out.

Before he could react and move, both the Praying Mantis and the Devouring Cobra attacked. The Praying Mantis sent a Giant Shadow Spike that impaled him on the head, while he manipulated his shadow.

Sebastian's shadow twisted as the Praying Mantis appeared out of it the next moment. Then like the legendary Mohamed Ali, this Praying Mantis started an experimental fight technique that could only be referred to as hardcore boxing!

Bam! Bam!

The Praying Mantis's dangerous hands punched and cut relentlessly, causing depressions and cutting deep injuries through Sebastian's skin.

The pain from all these attacks stimulated Sebastian, causing his Megalodon primal instincts to take over. Like a ravaging Lion that was pushed to the wall, his enormous body shrugged off the Mantis as his jaws came for the bite.

But before he could bite, a thick cluster of black gas that was released by the Devouring Cobra covered him up. Instantly after this, Sebastian lost control of his body, seeming like a stroke or paralysis patient.

This was an immobilization skill that the Devouring Cobra didn't use when it fought against the old toad and the Praying Mantis, this was because it could only work fast and better on lesser tiered predators.

At this moment, all Sebastian's flaws were amplified to the extreme.

Before, he could barely battle against purple-tier predators. This was because of the advantages of his transmigration, his system, and most especially his unique skill, but now with magic gone, he was ruthlessly exposed.

As soon as the Devouring Cobra immobilized him, the Cobra disappeared, turning into a swirl of black gas as he reappeared beside Sebastian the next moment. Unlike the Praying Mantis, he attacked with his deadly poisonous fangs.

Crunch!

[You have been dealt staggering damage!]

[You have been poisoned: You have been inflicted with the dizzy feeling!]

Instantly, Sebastian felt his health points draining away as his vision turned hazy. The only thing which kept his consciousness awake at this moment was the pain as the 3 predators inflicted more injuries on his body.

Seeing both the Praying Mantis and the Devouring Cobra dealing so much damage to him, the old toad was enraged. "This is my prey! No one has the right to kill him before me!"

Like a crazy freak, he erupted, using his whole body to compliment his tongue attacks to deal even more stacked damage as time went on.

For 2 straight minutes, Sebastian received damage while being unable to move as his body was still locked by the Devouring Cobra's immobilization skill.

His body was filled with blood, he already lost one eye, but he was not dead yet which meant hope. 

The stacked damage from the 3 purple tier predators was enough to have left him dead already, but his health recovery mechanism was what helped, keeping him alive to this moment.

If he was still a Great White Shark, perhaps, he would have already been saying goodbye to Oceania.

As the predators dealt more damage to him, Sebastian felt despair. "Am I going to die here?" He asked inwardly in a trepidatious manner.

His body was already smashed beyond recognition. The pain alone felt like he was being punctured by 10,000 spears, it felt unbearable. As more time went by, the feeling of death became more prominent.

When it felt like all hope was lost, his tail fin shook gently.

He was free! 

The Cobra's immobilization effect finally ended!

Instantly, Sebastian's eyes darted about without making it too obvious so as not to attract his enemy's attention. Even the Devouring Cobra didn't notice yet, which meant this was his greatest opportunity.

He fought through his pain to observe carefully.

As they attacked him, they already unknowingly pushed him close to the cliff walls. At this moment, just a little bit further and his body would hit the wall. And embedded in the wall were sharp-pointed rocks.

Sebastian secretly activated his electroreceptors to confirm, then he moved.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash!]

Sebastian used all his remaining willpower and power to propel his body, moving with such speed that he collided against the cliff walls.

Instinctively, the 3 predators went after him after suffering momentary surprise. Unknowing to the 3 of them, there were sharp rocks embedded in the wall which they failed to react to on time.

Boom!

The 3 of them, including Sebastian, slammed at the wall as the sharp spiky rocks dug into their bodies, causing blood to gush out in waves.

Amid their wails, Sebastian moved. He gritted his sharp rows of teeth, ignoring the pain as he used all his might to swim far away.

He didn't know what to do, he didn't know where to go, all that was currently in his mind was to swim and escape far away.

The 3 predators immediately went after him after recovering but his little lead granted him some time to catch his breath. But this didn't last.

Just 3 minutes after his momentary escape from his pursuers, Sebastian heard a loud cry reverberating through the water followed by the descent of an enormous predator.

A Hawk-Eagle! A purple-tier Hawk-Eagle!

Sebastian despaired on the sight. "Bad luck…"
