Sebastian rushed out of the cave with a rough plan in mind.
The main point of his plan was to take advantage of his enemies' weak points, while the minor points of his plan that when added together ċumulated the most importance was to react to any change in the situation as swiftly as possible.
This was his strategic counter against the outrageous power of bad luck.
In more understandable terms, he would follow the lead of his bad luck without cursing, complaining, despairing, or questioning.
If rocks came at him, he would smash through them. If fire came at him, he would refine his body like gold through it without blinking an eyelid. If thunder and lightning came at him, he would diligently endure through it like a cultivator enduring through a lightning tribulation.
Back in his previous world, his natives called this perspective the legendary 'Anywhere belle face!'
Immediately after he emerged out of the cave, the 4 purple tier predators saw him. Outside the hole entrance, the old toad hovered the closest as he attacked the rocks with his body's full might.
The Praying Mantis, like the shadow domain boss that it was hovered some distance away from the hole entrance as he threw shadow spikes at the rocks.
The Devouring Cobra used its enormous body to repeatedly hit the rock pillar, its outrageous size, thick skin, and other benefits of monster gigantism made sure that it dealt the most damage to the rocks' foundation.
After attacking the hole entrance in a combined offensive for minutes, their efforts finally paid off but their mutual enemy rushed out first.
Immediately as their eyes laid on Sebastian after he came out, they felt something. They no longer felt the peculiar attraction to him.
In simple terms, this meant that the aura of the Origin Fish was no longer on Sebastian. And this meant that Sebastian already digested the fish, which translated to a painful fact that the Origin Fish was out of their grasp forever.
In theory, the fact that they originally felt the attraction of the fish on Sebastian meant that if any of them succeeded in killing Sebastian then, he would get the full benefits. Winner gets all was the logic.
Now that they no longer felt the attraction, like a dream, the ticket to living a few centuries more was gone like smoke.
Poof!
Instantly, all 4 predators' eyes turned red, their emotions went through a cycle of disbelief, confusion, and regret before finally settling on anger.
Boom! They erupted!
Sebastian's eyes were still damaged despite his use of the min's bandages, but his inner eyes still felt the blinding intensity as fire raged towards him from the hovering Hawk-Eagle.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
Sebastian's reverse swimming stopped at once, his backward momentum and sudden stopping made the water spread ripples afar but he was not affected as he accelerated towards another direction.
[You have been hit by a skill: Raging Eagle Breath!]
Sebastian's timely reaction and rapid escape ensured that the majority of his body escaped the calamity, but the other part of his body that was not fast enough bore the full brunt of the fire domain skill.
His face twisted in pain, but he gritted his teeth to persevere and focus because the battle was just starting.
Warp!
Like the fabrics of space were torn apart, the Praying Mantis tore Sebastian's shadow apart to let its body emerge as its furious eyes glared at the shark.
For this Origin Fish, he gave his all, he pursued for kilometers, persevering just for that fish. Now, this filthy shark who was not even at the purple tier yet took all the benefits, he was mad in rage.
[You have been attacked by a skill: Mantis Assault!]
At this moment, his enormous size became a liability more than an ȧsset.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Praying Mantis's furious ȧssault left Sebastian helpless, all his petty defense was breached, the blows came towards him like an attack from a million raining bamboo poles.
His health points drained like water.
Whoosh!
Before he could curb the Praying Mantis's offensive, his electroreceptors alerted him of another enemy appearing in his position. The Devouring Cobra appeared out of the shadows like a shadow ȧssassin.
Its enormous body stretched tight like a rope then its tail came slamming down with force. The tip of the enormous tail rotated like a drill, then it stabbed into Sebastian's skin.
[You have been attacked by a skill: Drilling Dripping Poison!]
Boom!
Instantly, just the first wave of attacks from these 4 predators wiped Sebastian's originally 500+ health points down to below 100.
This was possible because the enemies were originally stronger than him, he could not defend, and the enemies used some of their strongest skills on him.
The pain from all the attacks filled Sebastian's brain, pricking him like needles but he was still able to read his system's notification.
Seeing this, he knew that his time was up.
So, he went berserk!
Even a meek dog would turn to a rabid dog when cornered, lions and other predators would explode forth with even more tyrannical strength when pushed to the wall, including humans, including Sebastian.
Sebastian went berserk. He no longer had any intention to escape, not that he could. If he was going to die here, so be it, but others must feel his pain also.
[You have activated skills: Shredding Bite; Crushing Bite; Empowered Dorsal Fin; Empowered Tail fin; Spike Attack; Cardiac Sphincter Constrictor…]
Sebastian activated all his available skills, then his rabid battle began.
The nearest predator to him at the moment was the enormous Devouring Cobra and the Praying Mantis, and they both suffered the brunt of Sebastian's crazy and unrestrained counterattack.
Bam! Crunch!
From the originally young and harmless shark that he originally was, Sebastian turned deadly. Spikes emerged from his sides, his body enlarged, becoming over 20 meters, all his fins turned as sharp as knives.
The Devouring Cobra was stunned by the battering ram attack from Sebastian, then was further surprised as the closest part of its enormous body suffered numerous lacerations from the now rabid shark.
The Praying Mantis was almost dissected into 2 from Sebastian's rabid attack, its timely defense activation was what saved its life.
The Hawk-Eagle breathed even more fire again, but Sebastian directly rushed through the raging fire straight at the eagle. After ramming into it, Sebastian went for the bite at a deadly angle.
Crunch!
[You have dealt staggering damage to your opponent.]
The well-timed ram against the Eagle's right-wing snapped its bones, then Sebastian's unrestrained bite directly tore it off as the Eagle shrieked in pain.
Sebastian may now seem like a rabid shark making its last stand before death, but his mind was still lucid and his plans were still vivid in his mind.
One precise attack, taking advantage of the Eagle's previous injury incapacitated it for good.
The 3 other predators were shocked on seeing this, but this did not stop their offensive. They attacked again, and this time the old toad took the lead.
Unfortunately for him, Sebastian reacted first.
[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]
[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]
Boom!
Sebastian rapidly accelerated, going under the old toad to hit its belly before it could react. The next moment, it croaked loudly in pain as its injury was widened, causing blood to pure out like a fountain.
In just 2 moves, Sebastian severely injured both the Hawk Eagle and the old toad despite the dire situation that he was in.
He was injured, his body was dyed all over with blood though the seawater repeatedly washed it away. Despite all these, he counterattacked hard, inflicting severe injuries on his opponents too.
He may be an orange tier predator going against purple tier predators, but he still had something to prove that his bite was painful.
Instantly, he rushed out to target his remaining 2 predator's weak points but the Praying Mantis and the Cobra were wiser after witnessing what just happened to their counterparts.
They decided to play it steady and cautious.
This way, they avoided their weak points being targeted for 2 minutes as Sebastian continued madly attacking like a rabid shark.
Despite his efforts, in the end, he was still just an orange tier Megalodon that was going up against 4 purple tier predators.
His rabid attack bȧrėly held the 4 predators to a standstill, causing his health points to decrease less, but this standstill presented an opportunity for the old toad.
Furious from the pain that it was in, the old toad let go of all its misgivings and revealed its trump card killer move.
"Ten Thousand Years of Pain!"
The next moment, a thick green magic power enveloped with a tinge of purple surrounded his tongue adaptation as the tongue lashed out like a whip, straight at Sebastian's enormous body.
Sebastian's body was too big of a target, and he was unable to dodge. This killer move hit him fair and square, or it did not.
But the sound-induced was explosive.
BOOM!
