Ocean Master

Chapter 55 - The Circular Cliff.

The surrounding space trembled unstably like the Ocean was about to experience an apocalypse. The nearby boiling boulder exploded, but the raging space magic pushed all the burning lava far away.

The force of the space magic shredded everything apart, including the Hammerhead shark and Bull shark who were trying to escape to safety.

Only the Killer Whale remained in the center of this explosion of power, its opponent, the great white shark was nowhere to be found.

Its eyes showed anger for a moment on seeing this before they subsided. It was no stranger to this; it already experienced a situation like this when it once clashed with an extremely strong Devouring Cobra.

The only problem was that this great white shark was clearly not that strong, but its skill was strange.

The summary of what happened was that the opposing force became too strong for its space magic, and in the end, the silvery magic lines erupted and cracked a hole in space due to the raging force of collision.

The hole cracked open by the space instinctively started sucking everything around it. The Killer Whale was able to stabilize itself, but the great white shark clearly was sucked into it.

"Lucky bastard".

It squeezed the words out of its predatory mouth before turning its body to feast on its prey, at this point the aftereffects of the collision already subsided a bit.

Apart from the meat of the first Bull shark, the meat of the second Bull shark and the Hammerhead shark was waiting for it so this hunt was not a defeat, it made a killing.

Bringing its enormous body closer, it snapped its jaws down and started feasting on the meat happily.

…

Warp!

The space stirred, rapidly forming what seemed like a crack in the water. The next second, it spits out a dark blue shark.

Sebastian felt the orientation of his surroundings become extremely chaotic. He felt like he was placed in a washing machine, and was left inside for hours as the machine operated under electricity.

He felt like he was hallucinating, his eyes spun rapidly like ping pong balls as he saw red, white, blue, and different colors go through them.

A few minutes later, he finally got a hold of himself.

Immediately after he did this, the memory of the previous battle came to his mind. Thinking of the exaggeratedly strong Killer Whale, he shuddered in fear, but this fear turned to joy when he remembered that he escaped.

"I escaped!" "I'm safe!"

He felt exhausted, his magic power was also exhausted, but all these could not suppress the joy of remaining alive.

As he yelled this in relief and joy, he felt a strange situation. His voice was echoing loudly like he was inside the belly of a beast or locked inside a silent hall.

As soon as he felt this strange situation, he remembered the circumstances of how he escaped. Though unlike the Killer Whale he didn't know exactly what happened, he still had some guesses.

"Does that mean I was transported to another location entirely through the crack in the water space?"

Shocked and spooked by the thought, he immediately focused his eyes while activating his omniscient skill.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

With this skill active, he felt a lot better as he observed carefully. The first thing that became apparent to him was the redness of this place, it was far redder and hotter than his previous location.

Looking below him, he discovered that he was now hovering above what seemed like a seamount, but unlike what he was familiar with it was fiery hot.

It was not as hot as the boiling boulders, but it was still freakishly hot.

The seamount had various artificial holes on its surface that were clearly dug by sea creatures living in this region.

When Sebastian looked further, he saw countless other seamounts like this surrounding him from every side. He already had a frightening guess but he didn't want to believe it. He finally looked up.

His vision became dizzy immediately from the sight.

For the first time in his life, he felt like he was a frog trapped inside a well. The seamount that he was hovering on top was far below just like the others, and what seemed like a cliff surrounded everywhere, towering high into the skies.

The circular cliff was red hot just like the seamount.

It towered into the skies like a fictional skyscraper, and in its walls were many holes that were clearly dug out by sea creatures.

From his current location, Sebastian could see different kinds of sea creatures hovering before each of the many holes.

Giant Shrimps, Yeti and normal crabs, turtles, lizards that looked like dragons, snakes with legs, winged sea creatures, these were a small number of the diverse variety of sea creatures that formed this community.

They were all around the walls of the cliff, making it seem like the cliff was an extremely big wardrobe, while the numerous holes around the cliff were the cabinets inside the wardrobe.

Once again, the impression was reinforced in Sebastian's mind that he was now in an Oceanic fictional world.

This sight was so mind-blowing that he was sincerely shocked to his very bone marrows. He once again felt like he was hallucinating, but he knew that everything before him was real.

As he looked, he suddenly remembered something. Due to the euphoria that he survived the previous attack, he yelled in joy.

Yelling in such a community meant announcing to the world that free prey is here, he shuddered on the thought.

He immediately scanned his surroundings frantically for any hiding spot.

This was when he discovered an artificial hole below him on the seamount. The hole was big enough to accommodate him, so without hesitation, he rapidly started swimming down.

Plop!

When he forced himself inside through the expanse, he suddenly felt a shocked pair of eyes turn to look at him.

"A giant Shrimp!"

He decisively attacked before the fellow could.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

He closed the distance in a second and bit down without hesitation. He activated all his close combat skills in quick succession, and to his relief, the Shrimp died shortly after.

[You have killed…]

He ignored the system's notification, found a way to push the nearby rocks to cover the entrance of the hole a bit before hiding.

He held his breath and forced his body to remain still.
