Ocean Master

Chapter 251 - The Defense Test!

BOOM!

The mighty impact that followed the skill hitting the metallic structure induced waves that tyrannically spread through the virtual-reality domain, making the very structure of the domain itself shake.

Sebastian outdid himself this time, pushed by the pressure of the situation, he was able to burst out with power that he never knew he wielded.

He felt his perception of this domain shake, becoming unstable but his unwavering gaze like those of a dagger never left his target.

He had less than 20 seconds remaining, his life or death depended on the outcome of the metallic structure after suffering the impact of his attack.

As soon as the metallic structure was hit, its sturdy frame shook as it bent backward from the momentous force of the collision. Cracks rapidly spread across its frame as the tangible sound waves blasted at it with full force.

Sebastian's killer move was so powerful that it already exceeded the limits of its theorized base damage. 

It was no longer limited to just sound waves, the sound waves moved in such a tyrannical manner that they created something more in the form of a tangible hit like that from a sledgehammer.

While the metallic structure made creaking sounds amid its struggle to contain the power that was acting on its frame, the shockwaves of the killer move wreaked havoc at the surrounding like a group of mischievous brats.

Boom! Boom!

The walls cracked before exploding the next moment, turning to what seemed like chaotic black holes as the atmosphere of the hall became unstable.

As the chaotic atmosphere increased, they seemed to turn into a type of fuel to the still rampaging sound blast. The killer move crazily sucked on the force of the chaotic environment, increasing its own force in the process.

With this, the skill went for its last charge, releasing all the power that it has been accumulating for the past few seconds for one last push.

BOOM!

The metallic structure held for 2 more seconds, then it tore to pieces.

Metallic fragments and dangerous shrapnel flew chaotically from the eye of the destructive storm as the originally sturdy metallic structure saw its end.

Tick!

The ticking time like that of a time bomb finally stopped.

Sebastian hovered in one place, stunned as he looked at the effects of the skill that he used while also reflecting on the awesome moments of the attack.

In his daze, the familiar bright light erupted followed by the writing.

"Hmmm, you actually succeeded this time also?!"

Unlike the previous times though, Sebastian did not pay attention to the ramblings of this supposed Sea King's will, his mind was entirely occupied with the moment when he activated his first-ever killer move.

The moment felt surreal, to him it was like a movie.

It happened before he could understand what he was doing. Pushed by the pressure of impending death, his mind worked at a super shark speed as he pooled everything to activate so many skills at once.

He activated them with the hope of using their effects to amplify the overall attack since the Sea King's will clearly stated that he needed to destroy the structure in only one move, he never expected to create something else entirely.

The moment still felt like a dream that he didn't want to wake up from. 

Finally, he seemed to comprehend the importance of monster inheritances that Tonado told him about. Tonado also created his killer move in a similar setting.

Already pushed to the edge by the effects of fighting 200 same-tiered opponents without any rest in between, when he suddenly faced such a despairing circumstance, he activated a power that he never knew that he had in him.

No way normally stacking those skills would have produced such a powerful effect, it all happened due to a special phenomenon that he still couldn't understand yet.

Perhaps, it was because of his physical qi accumulation after battling 100 opponents straight, or it was because his comprehension of the skills' origin laws suddenly increased.

No matter what the reason for this phenomenon was, Sebastian was satisfied. After so long of relying only on his Water Transmutation skill for hard battles, he finally created another trump card that he could rely on.

The power that was displayed by his killer move effectively made it a trump card that he could confidently turn to when the situation turned thorny.

He was satisfied, he was excited, he was thrilled!

"…"

For the first time, the Sea King's will wrote nice things about Sebastian's performance in the test but this will's writing froze the next moment on noticing that this Megalodon was actually ignoring it.

At this moment, Sebastian was immersed in his own world of joy, he never knew that the will was already writing on the wall again.

"YOU TAKE MY GOODWILL FOR STUPIDITY?!!"

Sebastian was jolted awake from his daze, he was shocked. For the first time since he entered the inheritance ground, he heard the Sea King will's voice for the first time and it freaked the hell out of him.

This was when he knew it, he actually ignored this crazy will. "Oh shit!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"You actually dared to ignore me, so you choose death again?"

"Your 5 seconds rest time has been canceled".

"…" Sebastian was speechless but the will gave no damn about him.

"Bad luck, stupid Megalodon".

"Suffer the same fate as my main body and doppelgangers suffered".

"Begin the Defense test!"

Sebastian felt a little depressed at the circumstances, after exerting himself for 2 straight rounds of this first test, he needed to rest to recover his reserves but this crazy will clearly was not ready to entertain him.

He had no choice; he could only get himself prepared. 

Despite the circumstances, the fact that he now had his own killer move served as the perfect consolation that he needed to focus on for the next round.

As soon as Sebastian focused, his perception changed, the hall disappeared.

Like it was an illusion, just like the battle arena and all the bright lights in it where he did the first phase of the test disappeared, the long hall and its gloomy aura also disappeared.

The next moment, Sebastian recovered to see himself in a familiar region. He was back in the outside expanse water, inside the Green Mist Sea.

He was no longer in the ocean volcano region; he was in a region of water that expanded towards every direction vacantly with nothing notable in sight.

It was like, he was thrown in the middle of the Ocean.

This region felt closer in similarity to the outside expanse of the cave where the Leroy clan lair was located, but Sebastian easily made connections to conclude that this was another region of the Green Mist Sea.

Seeing the extremely realistic environment, he was quick to ask his system for confirmation, and the answer made him heave a sigh of relief.

He was not teleported outside; he was still inside the virtual-reality domain.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

At this moment, all the excitement of creating a killer move already faded away from Sebastian's mind. Tonado's warning was still fresh in his brain, he was inside a dangerous inheritance ground, he could not afford to let his guard down.

While he watched vigilantly, changes finally started appearing.

The first thing that he saw appearing was a huge shapeless shadow that looked like an amoeba, such a huge amoeba that could leave hearts beating faster.

Sebastian could not estimate the size of this shadow, but in his heart, he knew that if this shadow was real, it was the biggest predator by a terrifyingly huge margin that he had ever met.

Judging from the way that this shadow moved in the water, Sebastian guessed that it was probably running away from an enemy.

The next moment, the shadow became a bit more realistic as shadowy depictions of blood started appearing. This was when Sebastian noticed that this shapeless predator was suffering from extremely severe injuries.

Some of these injuries were so deep that just seeing them made his brain start churning in an unsettling manner. He was creeped out.

Despite its severe injuries, the shadow beast continued escaping for its life confidently and unwaveringly that though it was the one who was escaping, it was still able to preserve its intimidating and dignified flair. 

This was when the beast's enemies started appearing.

Warships after warships started appearing the next moment, hundreds of warships that soon started climbing to over a thousand as Sebastian sucked in a deep cold breath in fear.

On these warships, Sebastian saw 3 tyrannical emblems on their metallic frames that attracted his attention immediately.

One of the emblems had white as the dominant color. Inside the background was a huge humanoid snow creature, this creature spread its huge arms in a gesture that made it seem like it was bigger than the world.

What this creature actually held in its huge arms was a huge badge, a badge that depicted a word that quickly gave Sebastian ideas.

{Snowmen Race!}

The second emblem had black as the dominant background. In this emblem was a humanoid creature that Sebastian was familiar with, an elf.

{Dark Elf Race!}

The last of the emblems, Sebastian was familiar with it.

{Atlantis!}

On seeing these emblems, Sebastian's eyes widened as he seemed to come to a realization. The next moment, his speculations were confirmed.

The shadow beast suddenly disappeared, and Sebastian appeared in the previous place where this beast hovered last. Still stunned by the situation, Sebastian was unable to move as the warships surrounded him.

The warships aimed all their war weapons at him, Sebastian's heart practically froze.. He finally figured out the rules of this round, and it was not funny.
