Ocean Master

Chapter 35 - Leveling Skills Through Pure Kung-Fu.

Sebastian was left stunned for a while, the declaration of the shameless eel kept on reverberating in his head, leaving his face with an incredulous expression of pure amazement.

"Damn! I never knew eels were so shameless".

Despite how amazed he was at the shamelessness of the eel that escaped, this did not stop him from going closer to feast on the 2 new kills that died to the tyranny of his might.

A few crunching sounds later, the 2 eels were smoothly devoured and stored into his almost dimensional box equivalent stomach.

[You have eaten the meat of the Blueray Eel: Basic Profile of the Blueray Eel has been unlocked.]

Seeing this, Sebastian's eyes glowed as this was his first time seeing an eel of this type in both lives that he's lived. He was not too shocked though, even back on earth there were many types of eels.

"System, unveil the basic information before me".

[The Eel is one of the more than 800 fish species that are slender, elongated, and usually scaleless. They have large dorsal and anal fins that are continuous around the tail tip.]

[The Blueray Eel is a mutated version of the normal eel. They adapted to the environment of Oceania and developed a special magic organ which stores their electric charges.]

[It's signature blue and slightly transparent body is a result of the mutation. Beware of its silvery-blue electric charges, you never know when you'll become cooked by one of them.]

"Well, that's pretty informative. Having a special electric charge magic organ is fairly badass".

After settling down, he didn't rush to follow in the direction that the big eel swam in a moment ago. He wanted to evaluate his battle again, though he was the stronger predator he detected some flaws.

The first flaw was his lack of sufficient mana. Thinking of this made him feel like bashing his head against the trench wall, this was the nemesis that was destined to restrain his Water Transmutation skill until he got more.

His unique skill was badass but its shortcoming of draining his mana was just too much of a setback. Well, he had no choice but to put up with it for now until his next evolution.

Through his electroreceptor skill, he noticed that the injuries that he sustained from the previous battle were already closing up so he decided to continue downwards.

Though the big Blueray eel a moment ago was powerful with its lightning magic, he was pretty sure that if this was a game then this Abyssal plain was still medium level compared to the hard level of the surface.

His battle with the Giant Barracuda was always at the back of his mind. Thinking of that, he propelled himself and finally started swimming downwards.

Apart from leveling up to the ultimate level 10 and preparing for his next evolution, what he actually wanted to do more now was to level all his skills to the highest level.

He already upgraded his skills by a lot but he could not use the advanced versions yet, he wanted to reverse this situation.

Following the contours of the rocky slope downwards, he suddenly remembered the shameless eel's yelling of ancient eel family at the back of his mind.

"Ancient eel family…, does he mean like that cultivation family stuff?"

He tried to distract himself with such thoughts but they didn't seem to be working, swimming down a rocky slope with no seaweed where he could at least hide for comfort a bit left him anxious.

As he followed the slope downwards, he started seeing tunnels emerging from the sides of the slope on both sides.

Most of the tunnels were too small to contain his body, he didn't have any intention of entering them though. He was now curious, the deeper he went the more he felt like a boisterous community was below this slope.

Making another sharp turn in the slope, Sebastian suddenly froze in shock. He felt like rubbing his eyes now for clarification but unfortunately, he had no hands.

He saw a gray-skinned eel motionless at the front of one of the tunnels, its wide opened eyes kept on staring at him without emotion like a zombie.

Seeing that the fish still didn't make a move, Sebastian quickly came to a conclusion. The eel was asleep, but as eels' eyelids couldn't close up, its eyes remained open.

Seeing this, Sebastian suddenly felt that there was really a God that answers prayers. He just casually thought of meeting a sleeping eel, and he really met one.

Well, this was a practice target to him so he would utilize it to its fullest.

He didn't rush to kill the eel immediately. He approached it slowly so as not to startle it awake, then he quickly activated a ton of his skills at once.

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Battering ram.]

[You have activated skill: Tail fin attack.]

[You have activated skill: Dorsal fin attack.]

Bam!

As soon as his much bigger body slammed into the sleeping eel, the fellow reeled backward in shock and pain before immediately waking up.

A grayish-black substance immediately started coming out of its slippery skin as soon as it saw the enemy but Sebastian did not give it any chance. He didn't even bite it, he used pure kung fu this time.

Slicing sounds reverberated around the small tunnel, the poor eel jerked and shook in pain and agony as the shark moved back and forth around its body while its sharp fins dug into its flesh without mercy.

[Your Dorsal fin skill has leveled up to level 3.]

[Your Tail fin skill has leveled up to level 4.]

[You have killed a Moray eel- level 8: You have gained experience.]

[You have gained 5 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

The eel had its mouth open in the last struggle for breath as it finally went limp. The tiny but numerous sharp gashes dug in its body opened up at this moment, making it look like grilled fish all of a sudden.

Sebastian didn't pay much attention to his kill; all his attention was on the system's notification. He felt like jumping for joy as 2 of his skills directly improved at once.

Seeing this, he resolved to use his fins in battle more to level them up.

And of course, great white sharks were not modest when it came to food.. Without hesitation, he gulped down the Moray eel feast before he continued his adventure downwards.
