Ocean Master

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

For the first time since he was evaluated and allowed inside the shark clan, Sebastian had the privilege of swimming farther than he usually did into the clan head's throne chamber.

Of the various sections of the shark clan, the throne chamber was the smallest but the most important of them all.

This section consisted of Old Mak's throne chamber which was the first part of the section, with the second being the armory, and the third being the most protected part of the clan, which was the junkyard.

According to the information that Verni revealed to Sebastian long ago, the armory was where the clan kept magic weapons and gadgets that they acquired or created themselves.

As for the junkyard, it was a place where strange machines of technology and magic that the clan acquired as spoils of war were kept. 

The main difference between the armory and the junkyard as just revealed to him by the elders was that the magic weapons kept in the armory were understood by them, and they held no danger towards the clan.

As for the junkyard, almost everything that was kept inside it was still mysteries to the clan. Magic weapons that could not be understood yet, whose effects were still a mystery to the clan were predominantly stored here.

Only the 5 biggest sharks could access the junkyard in the clan, this was because the things stored there may contain unpredictable power that could even bring the annihilation of the clan if misused.

This was why it was the most sacred part of the clan. 

Sebastian was not permitted to go to the junkyard, he only received permission to visit the armory. Though he really felt curious about the junkyard, he knew better than to let himself be controlled by his impulses.

He was 100% sure that even now, every movement of his was being watched by the 5 powerful sharks that he left at the throne chamber. This alone was enough to calm his wildest tendencies.

Beyond the throne chamber was a sight to behold.

The cave was no longer straightforward, as soon as Sebastian left the throne chamber, he noticed that the path forward started sloping downwards.

Another observation of his was that the walls of the path now formed into beautiful spirals. These spirals in the wall were beautiful, but his danger senses told him to stay at a respectful distance from them.

Just a little thinking told him the reason, this spiral was a form of a defense structure that was created by the clan to hamper intruders.

Sebastian could subtly feel a sense of sound noise from the spirals that warned him that getting close would be deadly to his eardrums, he also felt a sense of dizziness the more he looked at the spirals in the wall. 

He easily guessed that this defense structure was made with a combination of sound magic, light illusion magic, and earth magic. There may be an addition of lightning magic that he probably failed to notice.

Sebastian followed this spiral pathway to the end before he found a huge black earthen door. This earthen door was extremely medieval, but circular magic circuits were drawn around it that glowed in soft yellow light.

At the middle of the door was a yellow orb where all the magic circuits that ran throughout the door concentrated.

Already informed of this beforehand, Sebastian placed his snout before the yellow orb. He felt a prick the next moment as a little of his blood was sucked.

{…Identity verified!}

{Welcome to the armory, Sebastian!}

Creak!

As soon as Sebastian heard this, the black earthen door opened with a slight creaking sound. Sebastian swam in without thinking too much.

After entering, the inside of the armory was revealed to Sebastian.

The armory was very simple, it was made in a normal circle shape. The only complex factor about it was that the things in the armory were placed in what seemed like a circular magic wardrobe that kept rotating.

On each shelf of the wardrobe was a blank board where information about the magic weapon or gadget that was kept inside it was recorded.

The magic wardrobe rotated with Sebastian floating in its center, while white light from the wardrobe illuminated the small space inside the armory.

This was simply the entire armory, but what it contained left Sebastian breathlessly excited from the first shelf that was directly before him.

{Magic Weapon: Paralysis Needle.]

{Weapon Description: A needle with little damage but terrifying penetrative power. When magic power is injected into it, a grey liquid is ejected into the opponent's bloodstream that could cause paralysis of various levels.]

{Duration and Lethality of paralysis depends on the user's power and the opponent's resistance power.}

{Passive Effect: Internal Blood Freezing.]

{Passive Effect: Internal Bleeding.]

{Price: 6,000 Shark Points.]

Seeing the effects of the first random magic weapon that he encountered, Sebastian's excitement hit its peak. He didn't choose it immediately though; he had all the time in the world to search and to make his choice.

This was not like in his evolution process, it felt much better this way.

Without wasting any time in trivialities, he went from the first shelf as he started exploring all the shelves of the circular wardrobe as it rotated slowly.

After decades of development, Old Mak and the other main sharks of the clan were able to amass over 2 dozen magic weapons and gadgets here that were available for younger sharks' purchase.

Because the choice was not too expansive, it did not take Sebastian much time before he explored all 23 magic weapons and gadgets that were stored inside the armory and all that he could say was that he was satisfied.

In terms of magic weapons, apart from the paralysis needle, Sebastian saw even more awesome magic weapons like the Molten Knife, the Water Creed Shield, the Thunder Rod, and even a magic weapon called the Tsunami Summoner.

The molten knife was a small knife whose primary effect was summoning a lava descent to aid in battle when needed. The water creed shield's primary effect was erecting a huge water shield just like the way Shanks could do.

The Thunder Rod's primary effect was a fierce lightning blast that was accompanied by thunder, and it could deal the most damage among all the primary effects of the magic weapons.

As for the Tsunami Summoner, it was a magic weapon that was in the form of a cube. Its primary effect was summoning a terrible tsunami that could protect the summoner and also deal terrifying damage to enemies.

Of all these magic weapons that left the most impression on him, they were all mighty but neither of them fit his purpose.

They were all magic weapons that needed to be held to be used in battle, Sebastian easily understood why Old Mak and the other elder sharks were not making use of these magic weapons.

Like him, all 5 of them were magic sharks that didn't mutate grip adaptations on their fins to enable them to hold onto magic weapons to use in battle.

And since no magic weapon that fit him like the way the Octranezion perfectly fit an octopus-like Octumpedam, Sebastian gave up on them all.

After Sebastian went through the magic gadgets, this was when he found what he wanted. Of the 18 magic gadgets, he found 2 that he wanted.

{Magic Gadget: Mana Box.}

{Gadget Description: A box with stored mana. This box can store mana which can be tapped from when in a battle situation.}

{Mana Box Limit: 500 Mana Points.}

{Passive Effect: +2 MP for every mana recovery.}

{Active Effect: Desperado!}

{When in a situation where all means of mana have been exhausted, you can activate this skill by sacrificing some of your health points to instantly recover 500 mana points.}

{Price: 10,500 Shark Points.}

When Sebastian saw this magic gadget, he decided to take it immediately despite its outrageous price. This was a bargain that was too good to be true.

As a shark who could now be called a veteran, he knew more than anyone else the importance of mana in every battle so this magic gadget was a must to him. He bought it first before he continued his search for others.

He found his second heartbeat after 2 minutes of searching.

{Magic Gadget: Hero's Song.}

{Gadget Description: A sound domain shark's heart that was turned into a magic gadget. This heart keeps on singing a hero's song that reflects its owner's happy life, this aids in better concentration that leads to slightly faster health and mana points recovery speed.}

{Passive Effect: Hero's Song.}

{Active Effect: Sound Blast!}

{When enough sound ripples have been created in a battlefield environment, when activated with magic power, a terrifying AOE sound blast is created that can deal astronomical damage to every predator in the surrounding except the user.}

{Active Effect: Heart Blast!}

{When activated, an internal sonic attack is directed at the opponent's heart that could bypass any external defense, thereby dealing true damage.}

{Active Effect: Vacuum Space!}

{When activated, a special vacuum space is created where sound domain skills are amplified 2 times while the sound blast and heart blast effects are amplified by 4 times.}

{Price: 18,000 Shark Points.}

{Note: Only Sound domain sharks can make use of this magic gadget.}

On seeing this, Sebastian was shocked.

He didn't even need to think about it, he made his choice immediately. The only problem was the lack of shark points, which means he needed to wait till later before being able to collect them.

Though he felt some regret, he left the armory feeling extremely satisfied.
