Ocean Master

In the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team, the battle formations had meanings that were already explained to the sharks by Sebastian. Attack formation meant that all the sharks with some degree of offensive skills should all join in the battle. 

All-out attack formation meant that everybody was attacking. As Great White Sharks, even Queen Heareth who was a pure healer domain magic shark had the basic biting offensive skills of a shark.

Stand-by formation meant that the sharks should hover in one place while staying alert to their surroundings in anticipation of battle at any moment.

Defense formation meant that every shark with some degree of defensive skills was to all help in making sure the other sharks were protected.

All-out defense formation of course meant that every shark was defending. As Great White Sharks with a high-ranked bloodline for magic, it was a given that they all had the basic magic shield so this battle formation was not unrealistic.

Sebastian formed these battle formations and some other basic rules in anticipation of any troubling encounters. Troubling encounters such as this six-legged toad who was currently flying towards him.

With the order of the defense formation already given by their leader, all the Great White Sharks obeyed the order without complaining.

They've only survived one large-scale battle together, but due to Sebastian's meticulous handling, planning, and directing, the sharks moved in tandem like a specially trained elite group of spy sharks.

As the defense formation was in use, the defense-oriented sharks finally found a platform to shine and show their talents.

As a newly evolved orange tier shark, Shanks was not the leader of the water domain magic sharks but was definitely among the respected bigshots already.

At this moment, with him, the leader of the water domain sharks and other sharks, they rushed forward to form a defensive perimeter around the other sharks. They worked together with defense-oriented sharks with other magic domain abilities.

While all these happened, the toad like a meteorite was already hauling itself towards Sebastian's position at an astonishing speed.

Without a doubt, if the toad was allowed to move so rampantly, the impact would result in a lot of sharks on his side being severely injured or even dying. With flickering eyes, Sebastian rapidly came to a decision.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone.]

While the sharks waited in a tense state under the formless pressure already established by the six-legged toad, Sebastian suddenly rushed out from their midst. Of course, they were surprised but just that.

This was not the first time that Sebastian did this, so they reacted milder to it. All their attention was focused on the 2 figures that rapidly closed the distance towards each other, their hearts turning as high strung as steel bars.

With a whoosh, the water separating them suddenly swirled, tumbling and jumbling, wreaking havoc as what seemed like an underwater tsunami was formed.

By intentionally adding more magic power, Sebastian was able to create this not only to reduce the impact of the possible collision but to also deal more damage to the toad.

Before the collision, the toad activated its fire magic again as its body turned a glowing fire red. The fire didn't materialize from the water, clearly, the toad was a magician who focused more on buffing himself, but this was already OP enough.

Both sides finally collided.

Boom!

Compared to his collision with other predators, hitting against the toad to Sebastian was softer. The toad's body was for some reason soft and elastic, making him bounce back after impact.

But before he could recover and react, the toad seemed to pounce by stepping on the water surface, accelerating again.

Mid-swim jump, the toad opened its mouth again as its whip-like tongue adaptation emerged, rapidly rushing towards Sebastian. 

Bam! Bam!

[You have been attacked by a skill: Tongue Whip!]

Sebastian could not dodge at such close range; he took the full power hit of the tongue-whip as a bloody gash was drawn across his body immediately.

Perhaps, stimulated by the feeling of experiencing his own blood flowing, adrenaline surged even faster, filling Sebastian's brain. All of a sudden, his head felt light-headed and hyperactive like a drunkard who just went high.

Like an aggressive bull, Sebastian threw himself at the toad who greeted him with tongue attacks and a strange kung-fu-like style of boxing with its six legs.

The sound of the water rapidly moving reverberated continuously, indicating the intensity of the battle as both predators exchanged bites for blows at a completely dangerous and outrageous speed and frequency.

In just 2 seconds, Sebastian's body was filled with blood. The toad looked better, but its injuries were equally severe, more so when dozens of Great White Sharks were attacking it from the side.

As soon as Sebastian got embroiled in battle, Verni took charge again, calling the sharks on the offensive as they actively engaged to help their leader.

Only with their timely and helpful attacks was Sebastian able to barely hold his ground in this grand melee, this toad was miles ahead of him in adaptation and skill quality, comparing it was simply an abomination.

3 minutes after, they were still locked in their stalemate with both of them already suffering severe injuries. Seeing this, the six-legged toad changed its strategy, instead of bypassing him to attack his team members.

Remembering the sight of the sharks being squashed to death by the toad's powerful tail, Sebastian growled in rage and went in pursuit.

Like 2 superstar racers in a car race, one pursued the other, while the other continued running, trying to keep the distance between them.

This way, the toad succeeded in kiting Sebastian for another 5 minutes, making the total battle time almost 10. In this period, not only did he kill another 2 Great White Sharks, he left 5 injured.

Though this performance enabled him to show his dominance again, secretly, this old toad was shocked by the performance of the sharks.

"Is another Old Gab being born?" Of course, he knew of Old Gab.

Amid the toad's inner monologue, Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief. After a lot of effort on his part and that of his team members, he finally managed to trap the old toad without him noticing immediately.

Of course, this trap was to provide a platform for him to use his mass magic manifestation spamming technique while preventing the toad from escaping.

Boom!

After another head-on collision ram against the toad that pushed it some distance away, Sebastian hurriedly activated his advanced dash skill, rapidly experiencing an increase in speed that closed the distance.

[You have activated skill: Crushing Bite.]

[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

Crunch!

"Sh*t…, another???"
