Chapter 38 - Draconic Eel.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Battering ram.]

Boom!

This time, before the drilling eel could rejoice at its victory Sebastian directly arrived behind it. Even Sebastian himself was surprised by his almost instantaneous speed at this moment, but he still bit down immediately.

Imbuing as much magic power as he could into the bite, his skills came biting down like a vicious rat trap having caught prey.

With a loud sound like that of snaking thunders reverberating, his teeth clamped down on the blasphemous eel with mind-blowing force accompanying it.

A sickening sound of something depressing reverberated, then a squelching sound followed as the eel was directly crushed under the sheer bite power transmitted by Sebastian for that attack.

[You have dealt -31 damage to your opponent.]

[You have killed a mȧturė Blueray eel- Level 16: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 6 Skill points and 10 Adaptation points.]

Almost immediately after this happened, Sebastian felt fierce glares of shock penetrating his back which quickly became that of pure hatred.

The remaining 7 close friends of the eel were agitated by what happened immediately. Blinded by rage, they rushed forward, pushing their smaller brethren apart just to get to this murderer shark.

Sebastian did not dare to underestimate this group of 7 even though they were eels and he was a great white shark. This was Oceania not earth, and here everything was possible.

Crackle!

Electricity current zapped and crackled loudly, sending voltages of electricity into the water as all 7 eel's eyes started glowing in a deep blue color.

Seeing this, Sebastian felt his heart skip a beat and without hesitation, he activated his trump card.

Immediately as the enormous flaming sword appeared, sending heatwaves through the water, the concentrated convergence of electric magic sparked a strange connection before rapidly forming a huge bolt of electricity.

As one, the 7 eels let out a sound and the glows on their eyes erupted before shattering to pieces like a plain mirror.

The behemoth-like bolt of electricity flashed forward immediately, and the flaming sword slashed out at the same time.

A bright light flashed through the eel city, then…

Boom!

The center of the clash suddenly seemed to have become the CenterPoint of a nuclear explosion, the ripples spreading through the water became the radiation energy as they went across at the speed of light.

Sebastian jerked and blood flowed from the side of his snout as the wave rippled across his position, easily invading his body to deal damage.

[You have been inflicted with internal damage: -38 damage.]

He was horrified by the damage, but his eyes lit up the next moment as he saw a ton of eels with their back up floating lifelessly beside him.

Seeing the lifeless eels, he felt pained as his system didn't notify him of a kill, it obviously didn't treat the shockwave damage as damage done by him.

This did not affect him too much though because as the dead elvers and eels floated, an opening was unveiled in their formation where he finally saw another exit that looked like the one that he just came from.

Without hesitation, he activated both his Triple Reverse swim and Advanced dash skill immediately. Just like the wind, he rushed forward, intending to move through the dead eels and escape.

His eyes were already relaxing in relief, but it seems that life was not so easygoing Afterall. A loud angry voice suddenly reverberated that almost invaded his internal ears and cracked his vocal cords.

"Eeleir!! Who killed my son?!?"

Feeling the sheer power being transmitted through the voice, Sebastian didn't even look back to confirm who it was as he immediately increased his speed to escape and safeguard his life.

A part of the rocky environment of the city of eels suddenly started vibrating like an earthquake was imminent, it felt like an ancient dragon was awakening.

The protons and electrons in the water spiked, rapidly increasing in activity in an excited state as a thick bolt of lightning suddenly tore out from underground, tearing boulders apart to herald its appearance.

The lightning was so thick and concentrated that Sebastian who was far away shuddered in fear. "Is this the power of magic?"

He didn't even finish what he was saying before an enormous eel burst out of the rocky floor.

It was almost 15 meters tall; its eyes glowed a silvery blue color, it had thick scales which was strange for an eel, but this was not too strange considering that its body looked more like a water dragon.

Immediately after it appeared, it turned and its eyes locked on Sebastian.

Bzzz!

Sebastian suddenly halted on his swim, an electric cage surrounded him, and before he could react a mighty bolt of lightning descended from above to scorch his head.

His brain felt fried immediately as soon as the lightning bolt touched him.

[You have been hit with a skill: ???]

[You have been inflicted with a staggering blow: -52 damage.]

Everything was normal for a second, but the next Sebastian started convulsing rapidly like an epilepsy patient. His eyes rolled back, steam rose from his body and his skin melted as he felt unimaginable pain hit his brain hard.

Throughout the duration of the lightning bolt, he felt like he went to hell and back. As soon as it ended, he decisively activated his trump card again in a bid to desperately cling to life.

[You have activated skill: Water Transmutation.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Bow and arrow.]

Whoosh!

As soon as the bow and arrow suċkėd all his mana, the arrow was released and he felt the feeling of weakness come back again.

At the distance, the enormous angered eel was in the process of summoning another lightning bolt but its heart suddenly palpitated. When it focused, it finally saw the pitch-black arrow that was rapidly advancing to its position.

"Shield!" It growled.

Boom!

An electric shield appeared before its ċhėst on time, but the pitch-black arrow was still able to penetrate its defense. It ġrȯȧnėd as the arrow dug deep into its flesh.

Its magic became unstable immediately and the electric bolt in the water immediately dissipated. It coughed out blood, then it slowly turned its head to look at the bloody hole that the arrow dug through it.

It faltered; its body felt weak all of a sudden. Putting in effort, it turned its head to Sebastian's previous location but the great white shark was gone.

"What a fearsome shark!"__
