Ocean Master

Chapter 349 - The Advanced Library.

After the attack on the patrol team which spilled over to the reinforcement force and almost resulted in the annihilation of the whole force, a period of tension came over the clown city.

Of course, measures were employed to suppress the news but anywhere sentient life was, rumors and news always spread.

Though they already experienced their fair share of battle encounters and field missions, Miniman and Jodeheim was traumatized after being subjected to the mighty power of the Mega Whale.

With 3 of their comrades directly suffering from the encounter, the tension in the anatomy department was at a high as even Doctor Craban was concerned.

Most of the anatomists here were originally visitors. The fact that they worked here did not mean that they were loyal to the clownfish.

If things became contrary to what they expected and a war between the anemone domain and the Snake Kingdom erupted, they had no qualms with abandoning all their progress and escaping to safeguard their lives.

Only the living could work, only the living could dissect, and only the living could engage in research, life was paramount in any situation.

The only thing that prevented them from breaking already was the fact that there was no definite proof that the snakes were about to start a war.

At least, this was what they thought but Sebastian knew otherwise.

Having the privilege to encounter where all the tension started from, Sebastian had an understanding of the situation even better than every other survivor like him due to his advantages.

Most of the deductions that the clownfish Generals made were also made by Sebastian, but with more precision and understanding.

Whereas the Generals could only guess if the Mega Whale was attracted by the snakes, Sebastian was 100% sure that it was attracted by the snakes.

On the battlefield, through his melody sensing, he was able to discover the subtle sonic waves that were being transmitted from the side of the snakes while the battle raged fiercely.

These sonic waves were transmitted just before the Whale disaster happened. Despite being a sound domain magician also, Sebastian suffered a lot from the sonic tsunami skill of the extremely gigantic whale.

Sigh! Nothing was harmless in Oceania, he confirmed again. 

The only problem was that Sebastian also didn't know if this was a declaration of war by the snakes. Despite not knowing, his more conscious personality told him to act fast with his plans.

Perhaps, a war would spoil all his plans, or it may even be the breakthrough point that he was after to access inside the zone of glory.

Either way, no matter what happened, he was sure that it was right to prepare himself for whatever outcome.

This was why once Sebastian was attended to by the Aurora Hospital doctors, he left for the anatomist department, precisely the advanced library.

Once Sebastian entered the advanced library of the anatomist department, he felt like he just swam into a miniaturized but far more extremely developed version of the basic library.

With just one casual glance through the water-proof cover books that were arranged on the shelves, he knew that every single one of these books was more advanced than the ones found in the basic library.

Of course, in an advanced library like this, Sebastian was like a kid who just entered a grocery shop. Everything was attractive to him; all the books were so enchanting that he felt like stealing them all away.

Leaving them to be destroyed by war would be the greatest injustice ever. 

Despite how he felt about the books, Sebastian did not act rashly. He was patient and determined, carefully avoiding all the temptations till he arrived before the book that brought him here.

If he could finish this book on time, he would contemplate reading others but at this moment, going through this book was the priority.

The encounter with the Mega Whale revealed to Sebastian how knowledge-deficient he was about the rare beasts of this world. If he was embroiled in a battle with any of them, without knowledge, things would be much harder for him.

This increased the importance of going through the advanced version of the A-Z Monster Dictionary that recorded most of all the rare beasts.

Once Sebastian placed his teeth on the book, he flipped it open.
