Chapter 34 - Enmity With The Eel Ancient Family.

Sebastian did not attack as soon as the prey revealed itself completely to him. Having more experience this time, he calmly stalked the unfamiliar eel while straining his eyes to survey the surrounding.

This was a type of eel that he's not seen before. It was blue and was glowing, it had 2 big eyes that were disproportionate with the size of its body, and black lines flowed through its almost transparent blue body.

Tiny electric sparks went through its streamlined body. Despite its small size, the electric current alone was a big enough deterrence factor to most predators.

[You have activated skill: Magic teeth.]

Sebastian first released only one of his teeth, allowing the substance to fly at the prey with speed. As soon as it dug into the eel's flesh, it immediately turned and directed a wary glance at the surroundings.

Despite its wariness, Sebastian immediately observed that it was weakened. Its body squirmed out a grey milkfish substance in place of blood, dyeing the water in a shade of white.

Seeing this, Sebastian confirmed a lot of things and no longer held back.

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]

Due to his relative proximity to the eel already, and due to activating his 3 most basic and essential skills at once, he arrived before it immediately. Without much resistance, his teeth dug in for the kill.

Crunch!

[You have gained…]

Almost immediately after this happened, Sebastian sharply turned to the side as his electroreceptor skill alerted him of new opponents.

His eyes clashed with all 3 prey immediately. 3 eels of the same type, transparent and glowing in blue color. 2 of them were vaguely the same size, bigger than the one he just killed, but the last was far bigger.

The last eel was almost as big as Sebastian's current self, which was completely outrageous for an eel. Anger shone from its eyes, giving Sebastian the impression that this was a parent who just saw his child killed before him.

"Is this a f*cking family thing? So cushy, and my family abandoned me".

Left speechless and grumbling in his mind, Sebastian did not back down from the challenge. Despite this, one thing rang in his mind, the 2nd rule, finish the battle as fast as possible.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

Bzzz!

Sebastian couldn't even produce any magical manifestation before he saw streaks of silver fill his vision. With a sizzling sound reverberating, the bolt of lightning fired by the biggest eel zapped his body viciously.

[You have received -6 damage.]

Feeling the immense pain and his convulsing body, Sebastian felt like crying. This made him place a thicker skin in his top list for his next adaptation during his evolution, his current skin was really not up to the task.

Eels don't exactly have the right goods to swim like other fishes, they rather swim by generating waves that travel the length of their body. Despite this, they were freakishly fast.

Seeing the rapidly advancing unit of 3 eels enlarging before his face, Sebastian ignored the pain and immediately hastened what he was in the process of forming.

The water shimmered before converging together in one place, a bright green light flashed and all the commotion subsided.

At the place of this convergence, a familiar pure black bow and arrow hovered. At the same time that this appeared, Sebastian felt a drain from his mana. The water transmutation skill was really a mana drainer.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The bow was drawn and 2 arrows were released simultaneously. Both long arrows of death rapidly flashed through the water, one at the biggest eel, another at one of the remaining 2 eels.

A muffled booming sound of impact immediately reverberated, spreading shockwaves through the water. When everything subsided, one of the eels was seen pinned to the wall and was already dead.

Suppressing the rage in its heart, the eel focused again but what it saw left it gasping in shock. Sebastian moved so fast, taking advantage of the point of collision to dash rapidly to its side.

Crunch!

Pain waves hit it as it reflexively tried to curl its body, its electric current also spread out at an extremely fast speed, invading the attacking shark through its opened maws.

Sebastian felt irritated as the electric current zapped him again and again, keeping him in place. This spasm of his body meant that his teeth also released the eel, who took advantage of it immediately.

With the sound of something sharp digging into flesh, Sebastian felt pain as the other eel produced a sharp weapon and drilled it into his flesh from behind with magic power.

[You have been hit by a skill: You have been inflicted with -3 damage.]

[You have activated ability: Tail fin attack.]

Almost immediately, he spun his body in place. His sharp tail cut through the vulnerable skin of the eel sneak-attacking, dealing -7 damage in one blow as it reflexively retreated from the pain.

Turning even faster than it could retreat, Sebastian's still spinning body enabled his dorsal fin to cut again. Then his teeth finally came to the task, digging and shredding its skin apart.

Zap!

This time, the lightning turned tangible as it drilled a huge injury through his side. Another sound of a vicious bite followed as the biggest eel bit him on the tail, dealing even more damage.

When he turned, he was surprised to see the big eel escaping without hesitation. Sebastian reflexively wanted to go in pursuit, but he held his impulses back and watched the eel gradually disappear through the plain.

He was still stunned as he did not expect such reactions from the eel. As he hovered motionlessly, a voice suddenly sounded out.

"Young shark, you've angered the eel family. Run now while you still can or the eel ancient family will hunt you to the ends of Oceania".

"Enjoy your life while it still lasts".

Sebastian was even more stunned now. "For real?"
