Chapter 90 - Might Of Apex Predators.

Even before the battle started, the innate intimidation effects of absolute power which was the main trait of the ruling Crocodile kingdom was nullified.

Sebastian's plan was not anything complicated. It was mainly focused on getting an early advantage for the Draconic Lizard family and himself, thereby forming a foundation to build upon and this was what just happened.

As the rulers of this seamount, it was a given that the Crocodiles already developed an innate sense of superiority towards all the other sea creatures here.

This was what Sebastian took advantage of. Apart from anatomy, he didn't have talents for a lot of things when he was still a human but provoking other people was something that he was really really good at.

His talent at it was so terrifying that he could even provoke his pet, it was such provocation that led to his new variant shark pet biting him to this world. And here in Oceania, he found that such talent was highly useful.

It was nothing complicated, all he did first was use his sound control skill to create the background music. He got inspiration from this during his time in cinemas back on earth.

Background music was something terrifying, they were part of the main perks that could make horror movies horrifying. All he did was to create a strange sound that he already practiced which brought a vibe of doom with it. 

This affected the Crocodiles. Taking advantage of this, he used his cardiac sphincter constrictor skill to largely increase his size while revealing himself, making himself to look like a hegemonic monster which represented death. 

Unfortunately, the alpha Croc was not scared, but the effects on its family members still satisfied Sebastian. Also taking advantage of the atmosphere, he issued his challenge.

Already in the know that the alpha Croc would answer, he blocked every sound being made by it by his sound control skill, this was another effect that he recently discovered of the skill.

After this, he ridiculed it, making the other Crocodiles angry. As their emotions kept on getting riled up, they ended up roaring angrily. 

This was their mistake and where the real attack began.

Sebastian used his sound control skill to reflect the loud noise made by all their roaring, dealing astronomical damage while also combining it with the fire ambush from the Draconic lizards.

Through this, a lot of damage was dealt to the Crocodiles in one go. The start of the battle was purely a psychological one, but it really kick-started after Sebastian attacked first.

Putting aside the physical damage, the psychological damage done by all these was impossible to recover from immediately. It may seem little, but this was the real advantage that Sebastian got for his side in this battle.

When he originally thought of the plan, he was a little scared that his magic power would not be able to withstand the load but he now felt relieved.

Combining his surprising attack with the ambush fire breath that was released by the hand-picked Draconic Lizards, the effects were enough to weaken the Crocodile family though slightly.

About 3 to 4 Crocodiles died after the 2-pronged attack, while only about 7 were severely injured. Though this didn't weaken this powerful monster family much, an advantage was still an advantage.

"Kill without mercy! And kill without remorse!"

It wasn't Sebastian who spoke this time, it was the Lizard Lord. 

Originally, it thought the shark was bluffing when he said he could deal such a large-scale attack. But after what just happened, only admiration and one thought remained in its mind.

"Perhaps, this guy can really replicate what the motherf*cker Lord did".

While giving orders to pump its family members for battle, its eyes glittered in a battle frenzied manner as the alpha Croc was already glaring at it angrily.

Apparently, to this Crocodile, he was the mastermind behind the attack and he would gladly accept this as this was part of the plan.

It's long, muscle-filled, and powerful arrow-headed tail swiped swiftly at the water as it dashed with speed towards the alpha Crocodile.

The Crocodile did not back down. With a deep predatory growl, it also rapidly started swimming towards its enemy as its thick tail swiped left and right behind it. In a few seconds, they got close to each other.

It's body suddenly started glowing a swampy green color, its scales contracted like a defense fortress while glinting like those of a Dragons, then it opened its mouth and breath out…, fire!

The Draconic lizard alpha did the same. After swimming close, it opened its mouth and breath out fire.

The 2 pure red fire breaths collided like 2 negatively raging tsunamis, stirring a real tsunami underwater immediately as the shockwaves pushed outwards with force. This was not the end, tails attacked.

The arrow-headed tail of the Draconic lizard stabbed straight forward, while those of the alpha Croc curled and swung sideways in retaliation like a heavy wooden club of death.

Boom!

As the 2 alphas ducked it out, the Crocodile kingdom already went chaos.

Immediately after the Draconic lizards collided with the still recovering Crocodiles, a fierce battle royal to the death started.

The Crocodiles were the overlords of this region for a reason. After they recovered their nerves from the first ambush, they recovered their combat strength fully and it was horrifying.

Bam!

The thick tail of one of the Crocodiles slammed hard at the sides of a Draconic lizard, pushing a deep depression into it as the lizard roared in pain. As one, the Crocodiles erupted in defense for their kingdom.

Their wide mouths opened, exposing their dagger-sharp rows of teeth as they bit down with that almost-impossible force that they were renowned for.

The sound of the teeth clamping down on flesh was enough to induce goosebumps on any enemy, they were natural predators.

The spikes on their backs became sharp like daggers, revealing its identity as an adaptation as they used it to fend off the attacks of the Draconic lizards originally hanging off their backs.

In a few minutes, the original advantage of the Draconic lizards was nullified completely. This was the power of apex predators.

Seeing this in the distance, Sebastian did not feel despair, his eyes instead glinted excitedly as he proceeded to rush to meet these chicken that he had been rearing and feeding for the past month.

After the wide-scale use of his sound control skill, his mana points drained a lot which he already expected. During this time, the Lizard Lord was to hold the alpha Croc back while he fought with the normal army.

In a few seconds, he arrived inside the battlefield properly.
