Chapter 21 - The New Sebastian.

A pair of groggy eyes blinked open, laziness and the yearning to fall back asleep reflecting from deep inside them. Sebastian squinted his eyes to adapt to the brightness of the cave, he felt a little annoyed having to wake up.

As he tried to adapt to the lighting of the cave, memories suddenly flooded back into his brain. His eyes shone in enlightenment as he remembered what led to him falling asleep.

"Have I evolved?"

[Congratulations! Host has successfully completed evolution. You are now a level 6 great white shark.]

Hearing this in his head, Sebastian's eyes sparkled as a lot of thoughts quickly swirled in his mind. Putting a lot of them aside, he quickly demanded the most glaring curiosity that was nagging at him.

"System, show me my status".

-------------------------------------

"Woah! That's a considerable increase in stats!"

Sebastian was pleasantly surprised, different from the original increase in stat points that he experienced during every increase in level, this breakthrough actually carried his strength stat all the way to 13 points.

Seeing the plethora of skills and adaptations on the system interface only left him feeling giddy. Compared to before when it was almost bȧrė, he finally felt like a human that transmigrated into a strange fantasy world.

This was when he finally noticed the changes in his body. Compared to before the breakthrough, he felt like he grew muscles overnight and was now full of abundant strength.

He felt like he could do a hundred press-ups right now, with such energy, he felt like one uppercut from him could knock a prime Mike Tyson out.

"What a feeling! I feel like I can tear the world apart with one blow".

His sudden increase in strength was not the only thing that he observed, he also keenly observed the considerable changes that were currently in his sharky body compared to when he just transmigrated here.

Apart from the feeling of practically having a map in his head which he had not gotten used to yet, he suddenly felt like his skin was harder and thicker than before his breakthrough.

It felt elastic, muscly, and hard like a rock. This was not the only anomaly, he felt like his teeth were stronger and more dangerous than before.

Perhaps it was a new instinct that he developed after the breakthrough, but he felt a yearning from his soul, prompting him to bite and tear something apart with his teeth. It left him a little restless.

The mana conducting coating, he could not exactly see it but he knew that there was suddenly an extra feel to his sharky body. Unlike before where he felt nȧkėd, he now felt like he was cloth in a vest.

From the side of his body, he felt like he suddenly developed a new bone but he could not pinpoint where it was. As he groped about, with a pop sound, a pair of spikes suddenly jutted out of the side of his body.

He almost jumped in shock on seeing this. The spikes were sharp, long, menacing, and grayish in color, forming a contrast to the dark blue color of his upper body skin.

Then, the magic organ.

Ba-dump! Ba-dump!

The only difference was that instead of blood, this new organ was pumping a blueish-green substance inside his body. The substance was soothing, it calmed his nerves as he suddenly felt like he was in the bosom of his mother.

"I love this". He let out a sound of enjoyment unconsciously.

He also noticed his sudden increase in size. Compared to his previous 1 plus meter size, he was now as long as 4 meters, and his look was far more menacing than his previous slightly adorable look.

This was the practical summary of his new form. He was bigger, smarter, stronger, and faster. A big bad shark, that was what he currently was.

As the blue mana flowed gently inside his body, he felt energized in a way that he had not experienced before in both his lives.

"So, this is magic".

As he soliloquized silently, the system notification popped before him again.

[Congratulations! You have completed the hidden mission requirement given by the system- Breakthrough the first level divide.]

[You have been rewarded with a unique ancient skill: Water Transmutation.]

>This skill grants you the ability to have comprehensive control over water. You can turn water into anything that you want, any weapon that you want. All that you need is your imagination, and equivalent willpower to match>

>According to the great Atlantian scholar, Devon, the brain of any creature is greater than the greatest computer. The wielders of this ability are the king of the seven seas>

>Only the wise can utilize the potential of this ability to the fullest>

As soon as the system completed what it was saying, Sebastian's eyes were left open wide in shock.

"Holy shit! What type of ability is this? I can control anything that I want?"

Perhaps, it was a scam by the system, but his brain could not register that at this moment as he began to think of ways in which he could utilize this skill in battle.

His brain went far and wide. He was consumed by the excitement already, but he was rudely interrupted the next moment.

Boom! Rumble!

He felt the water and the walls of the cave vibrate, making him frown and open his eyes. This was when he finally saw the familiar confines of the Leroy army's camp, and it was not looking good.

Rapidly turning his head to the side, he saw a familiar turtle, one of the personal guards of the clan head.

"What is happening?"

He asked immediately as another loud rumbling sound reverberated through the confines of the cave, irritating him more while confirming his conjecture that something was wrong.

The turtle answered simply "We are under attack".
