Chapter 291 - The Escape [1]!

The ultimate inheritor, the inheritor of the Doppelganger and Invisibility unique skill, the inheritor that was being sought after was finally found!

The effects of this discovery were immediate. Magic ripples seemed to sweep through every predator and Atlantian soldier on the battlefield at this moment as their gaze that was being directed at this predator became heated. 

For centuries, Sea Kings have always been feared and adored, and this was mostly because of the mythical and iconic unique skills that they wielded.

The prospect of getting to wield a unique skill was just too exciting for any predator to resist. Not even Black tier predators could resist it, the desire was even more prominent to predators of this exalted tier.

After a series of events where their hopes were continually ignited only for it to fall again, a real chance at hitting a jackpot finally presented itself before these bloodthirsty predators.

The stares that were directed at Sebastian were no longer normal, they became stares of extreme greed and desire.

In the perspective of these predators, they could no longer see an enormous shark, all they could see was power, well-packaged power that was prepared in a palatable dish plate just for them to devour whole.

The Atlantian soldiers felt the same desire but were channeled for a different cause. After so long, the Atlantian army finally pinpointed their target.

Unlike their beast counterparts, the Atlantian soldiers' desire for the unique skill was sorely based on the priority mission that was issued by their race.

Of course, the fantasy of wielding a unique skill also induced greed in them, but the mission of their race took precedence.

These soldiers were all shocked on discovering that the same young Megalodon with the Water Transmutation unique skill was the same predator who inherited the Doppelganger and Invisibility unique skill.

The odds of this happening were too little, but at this moment, all the Atlantian soldiers already threw their complacency away as they no longer dared to underestimate this Megalodon.

This impossible feat that was achieved made their apprehension against the Megalodon increase exponentially.

From the magic sensors of their warships and the Annihilator, the young Megalodon already grew a step further and was now a purple tier predator.

The Atlantian army cared very little though, they dared not underestimate Sebastian but they also did not overestimate him.

"Kill the Megalodon!"

They didn't need Commander T.Y's order, the Atlantian soldiers digested the information that was before them for less than a minute before they exploded forward with terrifying speed and shocking momentum.

Even before they moved, the mutated beasts already moved. Every single beast on this battlefield craved power, and they all went for it.

Like the numerous stars in the starry sky, the army of mutated beasts erupted with the energy of a cock in heat as they all exploded with terrifying speed while rushing towards Sebastian's position.

Their intimidating approach directly bloated the glow of the Green Mist Sea.

The rushed and mostly chaotic swarm of beasts moving in such a pattern was sure to induce more chaos, but this chaos gave room for the real beasts to dominate as they led the race to the source of power.

Old Mak and his group of Great White Sharks were overrun by the other predators. When they saw 3 of their most important youngsters, they were ecstatic but they quickly despaired when they noticed that they were now the target of every other mutated beast.

While they tried to stabilize themselves, they got a communication request.

…

After arriving outside the inheritance ground, Sebastian already expected disaster but he was still stunned by the sight. What he did not expect was for measures to pinpoint him to already be in place.

Of course, he was caught off-guard by this but he already developed a habit of planning ahead with contingencies before starting the execution of any plan.

Experience thought him that planning for the worst-case scenario always despite the stress involved often saved his life.

As soon as the searchlights of the warships narrowed on him, Sebastian's brain geared into overdrive as he rapidly started finalizing his plans.

The pressure of what was at stake pushed him so much that he broke his speed limits, his mental activity peaked!

Before the mutated beasts could process what happened, he acted.

[You have activated skill: Mega Sound Control!]

[You have created a sound construct: 2-way Communication Channel!]

Bzzz!

"This is Sebastian, peel your ears open and listen to me carefully".

"I am in danger, and since you are all tied to me in one way or the other, it means we are all in danger which warrants why we need to work together to escape this predicament".

"All I want is for you all to create chaos in any way possible".

"I will be throwing both Tungsten and Verni your way. Once you get the both of them, please, clan head, take everyone, and swim for your lives!"

"Escape and not look back!"

"I can take care of myself, if I need help, I will indicate".

"Elder Dangle, please help!"

"In the thick of the situation, if I am embroiled in a battle, I am not confident in maintaining the 2-way Communication Channel, please help me maintain it".

Bzzz!

The communication channel finally ended and its effects were remarkable. In just milliseconds, the transmitted knowledge succeeded in getting to the hearing of every single Great White Shark of Old Mak's shark clan still surviving.

This was when Sebastian's electroreceptors detected activity.

Whoosh!

Of the 10 survivors who came last out of the inheritance ground, apart from Sebastian, the rest were shocked and awed by the chaotic battle as they all froze due to the visually impacting scene.

While Sebastian transmitted to his companions, Sergeant Lopez recovered first. The mental resilience of this well-trained female Atlantian soldier was strong.

Once she saw the lights converging on Sebastian, she confirmed her guess that this Megalodon against all odds actually got the 2nd unique skill.

The impact of this on her mind was enormous as she froze for about a second. She quickly recovered though; this was because she took it as a duty upon herself to fight to give her race an advantage when she could do it.

This was why she attacked once Sebastian acted like he was distracted. Her attack was extremely lethal, but she went for the new Sebastian instead of the old.

[You have activated skill: Megalodon Aura!]

Sergeant Lopez froze instantly as her eyes turned muddy. The fearsome aura of an ancient Megalodon was too much, it instantly overwhelmed her mental defenses as she was forced into a semi-comatose state.

[You have activated skill: Mega Crushing Bite!]

Crunch!

Sebastian showed no mercy because she was a beautiful female Atlantian soldier, he ruthlessly chomped on her head and crushed it to pieces.

The powerful Atlantian Sergeant could not offer any resistance towards his new strength. Compared to before, Sebastian was now countless times more powerful and it easily reflected.

[You have killed a Variant Human- Atlantian Elite Soldier!]

[Level 23: ???]

[You have gained 30 Skill points and 50 Adaptation points.]

By the time that Sebastian turned, the uncountable fierce tide of mutated beasts and Atlantian soldiers that were surging towards him already closed the distance more. He was within a time limit but he did not panic.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation!]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Fishing Net!]

Whoosh!

Sebastian turned his enormous body once to face his incoming enemies as he also used the change in momentum to throw the fishing net which already caught Tungsten and Verni as hard as he could.

As the 2 Great White Sharks soared away, about to be taken custody of by Old Mak and the others, Sebastian's greedy enemies finally got into the striking distance as both mutated beasts and Atlantian warships went loose.

Bam! Bam!

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!

Sebastian had no hopes of escaping the bombardment. He braced himself for the attack by hiding himself under stacked layers of defenses.

All this defense proved as fragile as paper though once the attack hit. The combined attack power of an Atlantian Annihilator, 2 Red tier predators and numerous lower-tiered predators was absolutely terrifying.

Sebastian stood no chance before the lethal attack.

BOOM!

Sebastian exploded from the force, but unlike conventional common sense suggested, the explosion did not result in flesh and blood flying everywhere, instead these were replaced by sparkling lights like fireworks.

Fireworks? Fireworks???

A dreadful silence of confusion descended like a plague.

"…"

"….."

[Warning! You have lost a Doppelganger!]
