Ocean Master

Blood, only blood was left of the originally white sparkling fish.

As soon as this transformation was done, a chilling silence descended on the battlefield. The gentle ripples in the water that were induced by the just-concluded battle finally found the opportunity to raise their head as they battered at the surviving predator's bodies.

Both the old toad and the Praying Mantis who was originally escaping stopped in shock, including the enormous Devouring Cobra as they stared at the bloody mess before them in disbelief.

A second ago, all of them, including the Devouring Cobra already believed that the outcome of this competition was set in stone, they never expected such a drastic change at the last moment.

"What just happened?" They questioned themselves doubtfully despite the evidence of what happened directly facing them.

The disbelief in their eyes and the shock of what just happened was so overwhelming that their brains seemed to have short-circuited. They intended to react but they could not, they just kept on staring motionlessly.

Faraway in the distance, Sebastian felt a wave of fatigue hit him immediately after his 3 consecutive arrow shots met their target but he was happy.

[Congratulations! You have killed a Longevity Origin Fish- Level 0: You have gained 0 Experience.]

[You have gained 0 Skill points and 0 Adaptation points.]

[You have gained the longevity origin essence; your lifespan has increased by 200 years.]

Seeing this, Sebastian's eyes almost popped in shock but he suppressed his raging feelings and turned around. He had all the time to express his shock later, but right now, he needed to escape.

Of course, thoughts flowed at the rapid speed of light but in a tense situation like this, Sebastian decided to play it safe.

He already guessed that the value of the already dead fish was enormous, but never, not even in his wildest dreams did he expect such value from it. 

He took the safe route because if he thought deeper into this, he was not confident that he would be able to extricate himself from it fast enough before danger came.

He first checked his mana points again to determine his escape chances.

[Mana Points: 128/1070.]

This was what was left of his mana points after the 3 powerful arrow shots. He deliberately left this behind to facilitate his escape from this region. All his team members were already gone, so he only had to fend for himself.

Though 128 mana points were not enough for him to take a comfortable ride with his supersonic speed skill, it could still take him somewhere which was all that he needed to survive at this moment.

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed.]

With these 3 skills active, Sebastian was surrounded by a green glow that soon increased to a blinding intensity as Sebastian bolted out of the area, leaving a green streak of light behind him.

In a few seconds, he disappeared into the distance.

As soon as Sebastian moved, the 3 purple tier predators finally reacted. They were stunned at first, but after understanding what just happened, they exploded in extreme rage.

None of them spoke to the other, but they moved in tandem.

If the Devouring Cobra was the one who got this valuable fish, both the old toad and the Praying Mantis would have no choice but to leave regretfully, but the fact that Sebastian was the one who got it felt like a tight slap across their faces.

An orange tier predator like Sebastian outwitting them in battle and taking their prey was a humiliation that their pride as purple tier predators were unable to take, not today, not tomorrow, and not a millennia later.

The old toad moved first. His orange-red eyes suddenly started glowing ominously, the black slit in his eyes narrowed as they started emitting a strange mythical glow like they could see through time and space.

In his field of vision, as he poured more magic power into his eyes in an unrestrained manner, black and red lines appeared in his vision.

The black lines were numerous, filling everywhere, intertwining together and leading to every corner, but the red line which was now glaring when placed together with the black lines led to one direction.

This direction followed the trail left by Sebastian's green magic power.

Boom!

The Old Toad's powerful hind legs suddenly hit the water with force, leaving a fierce shockwave behind that spread ripples crazily as he was propelled at the speed of a jet towards the direction of the red line.

Immediately after he moved, both the Praying Mantis and the enormous Devouring Cobra also moved.

The Cobra curled his body up, forming what seemed like a mountain hill in the water as his eyes turned pitch-black with black shadow gas swirling inside them the next moment. 

Suddenly, his body straightened again as he shot forward with enormous speed. While advancing, the Devouring Cobra's enormous body rotated like a deadly drill, enabling it to pierce through the water and increase its speed further.

The Praying Mantis's pursuit method was the most bizarre.

As the Devouring Cobra rapidly advanced forward like a rotating drill, he left circular rippling shadows in the water, and at this moment, this was what the dangerous Praying Mantis made use of.

Warp!

His body disappeared from its previous location one moment, appearing from the circular rippling shadows of the Devouring Cobra the next.

After emerging from the Cobra's shadow, before the Cobra could rotate further, completing one revolution, he already disappeared again, dissipating and easily blending into the rippling shadows.

This way, all he expended was his magic power while being able to keep up with the Devouring Cobra. This ability of his was why Sebastian and the old toad felt that they could not escape from him, and this was verified here.

The water raged, making loud whooshing sounds as the 3 of them rapidly disappeared into the depths of this ocean volcano region where Sebastian escaped to. They pursued with vengeance and anger.

Just like the way it started; the battle was already over. 

Now, a hunt for Sebastian was on!
