Ocean Master

Chapter 37 - Advanced Dash Skill.

Sebastian felt his orientation become inverted, making him feel like he was stuck in a washing machine that was continuously rolling. His eyes felt dizzy, he felt like he suddenly caught a cold and his nose was running.

The light before him spiked in intensity, becoming as bright as the sun all of a sudden and prompting him to close his eyes. Everywhere around him became dark, but it soon recovered to normal again.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't feel the prick from the glare of the bright light but what he saw made his eyes widen in despair.

The first thing that appeared before him was the familiar Blueray eel, and beside it was a few other eels of the same species.

They had vicious expressions on their faces as they looked at their prey, they felt like a group of local bullies and Sebastian was now the prey.

Sebastian's eyes darted left and right in despair; he was directly drawn deep inside the city of eels which directly translated to immense danger.

Feeling the pain being transmitted to his brain from his tail, he remembered the electric shock that made him lose his resistance and without hesitation, he attacked backward.

[You have activated skill: Tail fin attack.]

His tail fin stiffened behind him, before the shocked eel could react the sharp tail cut a few injuries through its hide.

Sebastian didn't even pay attention to how much damage that he caused. His eyes rapidly darted around and surveyed the surroundings, then he picked a direction and bolted away immediately.

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

"Kill him!"

The Blueray eel suddenly yelled loudly before rapidly swimming forward in pursuit, its friends quickly followed.

A part of the originally calm and gentle city of eels was suddenly stirred.

Though Sebastian landed in just one part of the city and couldn't draw the attention of every eel in the city, his big, different, and menacing build of a shark was bound to attract attention.

Most of the eels didn't even care to understand what happened, seeing an intruder immediately lit the desire to protect their home in their hearts.

"Intruder!" "Intruder!"

Sebastian didn't know who started it, but as soon as it started, it didn't stop as a significant number of the eels who could speak already started yelling mindlessly.

The young eels called elvers responded in droves, rushing out of their crudely made settlements like a group of mischievous youths going on a riot.

Sebastian didn't even know where he was again due to the sheer size of the abyssal plain's main depth, only eels and even more eels filled his sight, completely blocking his orientation from discovering a direct safe route.

When he tried to go through them with his electroreceptor skill, he felt even more despair as he could not see the end. This meant that he was drawn deep into this city of eels.

Zap!

His body shuddered as the electric current snaked through his body, this high voltage shot was enough to stimulate his brain, jolting him back to full lucidity.

This was when he finally observed his surroundings well. Hundreds of super long eels were currently swimming towards him to feast on his flesh, but most of them were the small elvers.

Through his electroreceptors, he discovered that the over 10-meter-long eels were just looking at him both nonchalantly and surprisingly in a wary manner.

Sebastian didn't have the luxury to analyze the expressions on the eels' faces, he made his decision instantly.

[You have activated skill: Magic teeth.]

Almost immediately after Sebastian made his decision and activated his skills, he stopped in one place and opened his mouth wide.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

The sharp teeth lining his frightening maw jerked before shooting out at the pace of a machine gun. Surrounded by his green magic energy, they penetrated through the ranks of the eels facing his front.

His motive was not to kill them, his motive was to escape, and using this to create a pathway through their ranks was his plan.

The eels were startled a bit by the unconventional attack method but this did not stop them, they hauled out their attacks immediately.

Stones surrounded and empowered by magic suddenly flew out from the battalion-like formation of eels, when they touched Sebastian's skin, he felt his body tighten like dried fish as electric current zapped through his body repeatedly.

[You have been hit by enchanted stones- Ancient Eel engraved.]

[You have been inflicted with physical damage: -2 {×13}]

[You have been inflicted with electrical magic damage: -4 {×8}]

Sebastian detected blood flowing from his hide immediately after the first skirmish, his hard dense skill improved his defense but it was still weak against magic damage.

Combining this with the damage that he just saw displayed by the system, he took advantage of the small opening that was borne open after he used his magic teeth skill.

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Shredding bite.]

[You have activated skill: Spike attack.]

Crunch!

Propelling himself forward rapidly through the water, his teeth bit down, savagely cutting an elver into bits and pieces. In the process, his spike adaptation jutted out of his sides, stabbing into the nearby eels.

[You have activated skill: Battering ram.]

Boom!

He finally collided with the frontline formation of the attacking eels; the pressure pushed him back a bit but his relatively higher strength compared to the eels pulled him through as he bulled his way through them.

His teeth no longer stopped moving, his body no longer stopped moving as he started biting left and right to bull his way to safety.

As he did this, his skin did not rest as bites, electric zaps, and even more stones were thrown at him. Empowered by magic, the stones flew at such speeds that he could not dodge.

His intuition suddenly warned him of danger, and without hesitation, he dodged to the side. Turning his head, he saw the familiar Blueray eel who just released the familiar lightning bolt.

This turning of his head proved fatal, taking advantage of his temporary distraction one of the familiar Blueray eel's friends attacked.

Its body rotated in place, pulling both water, dirt, and its magic power to itself as it quickly turned into something like a sharp metallic drill. Then it rapidly flew outwards.

Its speed was too fast for Sebastian to dodge, it encountered some resistance after colliding with his hard dense skin but it eventually drilled through.

[You have been hit with a skill: Electric drill.]

[You have been inflicted with -17 damage.]

The eel went through Sebastian's body completely and appeared on the other side. Feeling the pain hitting his brain, Sebastian growled, suppressed his convulsing body from the electric current, and bit at the side.

Crunch!

[You have inflicted -18 damage to your opponent.]

[Your Dash skill has leveled up to level 5: Automatically switching to the advanced version of the skill.]

[Switch to Advanced Dash completed.]

Sebastian's eyes glowed a deep green, then he locked into the drilling eel.
