Ocean Master

Chapter 206 - Escape [8].



[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

Whoosh!

Sebastian moved before his teammates could blink and before the Atlantians could think, arriving before them in the blink of an eye. His speed was so fast that all the predators and Atlantians saw was a blue blur.

As soon as Sebastian saw the Atlantians, his already alert mind paired with the tense situation was immediately stimulated, going into overdrive.

The map of the military base first flashed through his mind again, then it narrowed on 2 names- Doctor Mrs. Josephine and Engineer Macuck. Without a doubt, these 2 names belonged to these 2 middle-aged individuals. 

Due to the time that they already spent escaping, Sebastian was already fearing for the worst which was evidently waiting for them in the Defense Domain.

He knew that with his original plan, they were probably fried toast already, he needed a breakthrough point. He had been cracking his head for minutes without success about this, but who thought success would land so easily?

To him, the emergence of these Atlantians was his road to success!

As usual, he used the strategy that he was already growing to love, move and strike before they could think, plan, or even react.

This whole area was called the Leaders Sleeping Quarters, the elite Atlantian soldiers were here, and leaders like this middle-aged Engineer and Doctor would probably be protected by some of the very best.

As he had no intention to play around, Sebastian went all out from the onset. He was escaping, not playing, dignity was not needed here at all. So long as he survived this encounter, to hell with dignity.

This was the reason why he instantly activated his supersonic speed skill.

He arrived before the Atlantians while they watched motionlessly, then he penetrated their tight defensive line like a hot knife cutting through butter. In the process of doing this, he activated another skill. 

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation!]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Pressurized Water Blades.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Airbag!]

Whoosh!

While the Atlantian soldiers still haven't reacted, blue crystalline pressurized water blades suddenly materialized as they rapidly cut through the surrounding soldiers with force and sharpness that could cleave mountains.

Sebastian got the inspiration for this in his one month of captivity.

One day, he went deep in thought. A lot of his queries about the water transmutation skill were already answered, so if he could create unconventional magic manifestations like human hands, it meant he could create much more.

Instantly, he tried it and he created what his mind thought of. He finally started understanding why this unique skill was said to be powered by imagination.

He still had some queries about why he couldn't create them at first even though he tried, so he asked Tonado, who told him the full gist of the story.

His magic manifestation creation was so monotonic and limited because he hadn't comprehended any origin law of the unique skill yet.

According to Tonado, each skill in this world contained origin marks or laws. To improve the power and proficiency with a skill, the user needed to comprehend more origin laws of the said skill.

This was why the same Battering Ram skill that Sebastian had, in other more veteran predators' hands was much more powerful.

The comprehension levels of origin laws were separated into the initial level, the intermediate level, the advanced level, the Red Master level, and the Black grandmaster level.

Tonado has a proficiency of the initial level with his normal tongue adaptation attacking skill, while for his killer move, his proficiency of the origin laws was at the intermediate level which explained its outrageous power.

These attainments showed that his claim as an old monster was not false, Sebastian comprehending to the initial level at such a young age was due to a lot of factors aligning together which made him a genius. 

After a lot of thinking and meditation, while he was in captivity, Sebastian's comprehension of the Water Transmutation unique skill's origin laws finally climbed into the initial level which was the reason for his increased proficiency. 

Now, his use of the Water Transmutation skill was already bordering on the level of being beastly.

All these thoughts went through Sebastian's mind in an instant as a strange smile lit up his shark face, the battle was still ongoing but was already decided.

Yank!

A fraction of a second finally passed, the elite Atlantian soldiers finally reacted but it was too late, a pivotally important figure was just taken captive.

The magic manifestation that looked like an airbag captured and yanked Doctor Mrs. Josephine away before the others could react.

After thinking rapidly, Sebastian decided that the Doctor was more valuable.

"Devour them!" Sebastian finally ordered.

Even before he ordered, his pressurized water blades were already wreaking havoc through the ranks of the Atlantian soldiers. 2 apprentice Engineers and 4 apprentice Doctors already died.

While this happened, Tonado and the other predators attacked.

Boom! Boom!

5 Atlantian soldiers died in less than a second, bringing the originally fat defensive force of the Atlantians to a mere 10. This was when the middle-aged Doctor Macuck finally reacted to his shock.

Sebastian's move took a lot of mana points from him, so he was now lay low at the back of the group to recover which granted this Engineer all the time that he needed to move. He took advantage of it without hesitation.

This Engineer reacted like a don. Calmly, he first brought out a special cloak that covered and enabled him to blend into the surroundings in a camouflaged state. Then with his assistant's help, he brought out strange gadgets from his storage box.

This Engineer threw these gadgets in the predators' directions. The first one that looked like a serum sealed in a glass bottle exploded, releasing red gas that immediately diffused into the surrounding.

The others exploded soon after, revealing different gases that moved with an abnormal speed, rapidly diffusing through the water.

One of the glasses after the explosion revealed a green gas that diffused into the water with a smell that could kill demons, it was the smell of 10,000 rotten eggs mashed together and stuffed inside a sardine can.

[You have been inflicted with the gas drug: Drunk-Craze Gas!]

[You have been inflicted with the gas drug: Ultimate Rotten Gas!]

[You have been inflicted with the gas drug: Crazy Living!]

[You have been inflicted…]

[You have been affected by a weakening effect: Mild Confusion.]

[You have been affected by a weakening effect: Mild Dizziness.]

[You have been affected by a weakening effect: Mild Blindness.]

[You have been affected by a weakening effect: Sensory Smell Disorder.]

[You have been affected…]

[You have been affected…]

These gases were deadly!

Instantly, Sebastian's sensory organs were bombarded with different sensations that almost drove him crazy. 

His eyesight became blurry, his targets seemed to have disappeared, his nose twitched like crazy as the mad rotten smell invaded his senses like a plague, his body felt a great sense of disgust that was capable of driving him insane.

While this happened to the 5 predators, the Atlantians took this chance to reorganize their formation, this time around Engineer Macuck alone. In a few moments, the elite soldiers already formed a sturdy defense.

"Ignore them and escape!"

Before the soldiers could start their offensive, Sebastian decisively ordered his companions to leave, they were in a race against time.
