Ocean Master

Chapter 248 - The First Test Of The Sea King Inheritance!



As soon as the Atlantian army finally dragged themselves inside the inheritance ground, the pitiful mutated beasts that were left behind after all the strong predators entered finally found a breathing space.

The past few minutes were torturous to them.

When all the powerful predators that came for this inheritance entered the inheritance ground, including the Space Beast who already once suffered a defeat from Captain Omega, they were left leaderless.

Due to that, the Atlantian soldiers finally took control of the situation, leading them by the nose while venting their anger on them if they had any.

Despite their powerlessness, the allure of the Sea King Inheritance was still there, the desire still burned like a raging fire in their hearts.

In the end, the past few minutes to them felt like they were kids who were being bullied by their elderly classmates who deprived them of eating candy though they had a great desire for it.

It was awfully torturous.

Now that the Atlantians left, they were finally free!

Without hesitation, the mutated beasts let go and started struggling with all their might to go for what they badly desired.

After a lot of swimming, pushing, bashing, biting, and even killing, they all finally made it to the inheritance entrance.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

One by one, they entered the inheritance and in just a few seconds, this seamount was emptied up. All the commotion died out, giving birth to a rare moment of silence since the inheritance was set up.

It was at this moment of silence that another sound intruded.

This sound was not from the seamount, not even from this ocean volcano region as a whole, this sound was outside the circular wardrobe cliff.

At huge distances away, bright light erupted which was quickly followed by these muffled sounds like those of rumbling and clapping thunder.

The intensifying battle of the variant human races was already affecting inside the circular cliff that surrounded this ocean volcano.

At this moment, it was like the volcano's time of calm was numbered.

As soon as Sebastian swam inside the inheritance entrance, he was quickly devoured by the encompassing darkness that filled everywhere.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

As a Megalodon who could already be called a pseudo-veteran predator, he knew that his eyes were not his only sense of sight. 

He activated his electroreceptors instinctively after he lost his sight but he was bound to be disappointed this time.

This encompassing darkness didn't just hinder him from seeing with his eyes, it was some kind of magic that dealt with the dark origin laws, effectively preventing him from seeing with his other senses.

Sebastian was effectively blinded. 

This continued as his body's mechanism allowed him to keep on swimming downwards without him knowing where he was or where he was going.

Sebastian had an advantage in where he was going though. Unlike other predators, he already explored this tunnel once and got to its end.

He already had a basic idea of how deep the tunnel was, but as his body continued swimming downwards, his confidence shook as he discovered that his knowledge may not be as full-proof as he thought.

This continued for a few more minutes in his estimation, then…

Thud!

Sebastian heard this first before he felt the impact of his body hitting something solid. Before he could adjust his body, his vision returned.

He was no longer in a tunnel that was filled with darkness, the tunnel was not even in sight anymore, what was before him was what seemed like a battle preparation room and he could see another room just opposite him.

The most glaring theme of this room was that the light was very bright, serving as a sharp contrast to the darkness that already overwhelmed his senses.

The drastic change in his surrounding took Sebastian aback for a second.

After he adjusted, he finally started observing his surroundings. Of course, the first thing that he looked out for was anything that could endanger his life, anything that seemed like an enemy.

Sebastian was surprised though; he was the only one that was in this bright room. This was when the questions came to him like a tide.

How come? How did this place turn like this? Was I wrong, is this not the catacomb that I explored some months ago? Where is everyone?

As he asked these questions in his mind, he quickly started giving the room and the one opposite it an overall observation sweep.

The room was big enough to contain 10 Megalodons of his size, it was vacant with only him inside it, and the opposite room was even bigger, with a size big enough to contain 50 Megalodons of his size.

This was extremely big, considering that he was a 15-meter long Megalodon.

Sebastian was still puzzled about the sudden disappearance of the catacombs, and also the sudden disappearance of everybody that he entered the inheritance ground with, both allies and enemies.

Where did they all go?

Though the situation seemed kind of spooky, he quickly calmed down as he referenced the lessons from Tonado. According to the old toad, in an inheritance ground, anything could be created and anything could happen.

Before Sebastian could do another thing, a bright blue light suddenly lit up which illuminated the sky as a group of words were rapidly written.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

"So, you court death?!"

"Good, very good!"

"No need to guess, I am the will left behind by the strongest Sea King of all, the only wielder of the Doppelganger and Invisibility unique skill, the ruler of Black Veil, Sea King Carcarot Gorgoneon!"

"You getting to meet my writing is the greatest privilege of your life. If you want to see my real form, pass the first test of my master's inheritance".

"The Great Carcarot Gorgoneon's inheritance does not get to be taken by an insignificant no-body Megalodon. Only the worthy can shoulder the responsibility and pressure that comes with a unique inheritance".

"The first test of the inheritance is extremely simple".

"Hehehehe!" "Hahahaha!" Hohohoho!" 

"The first test is 1 on 1 Gladiator battles".

"The only inheritor that is worthy of my master's inheritance has to first prove that he is undisputed among his mates".

"You have to be the undisputed best among your mates".

"In this first test, hehe, there will the blood spilling".

"If you want to opt-out, this is your chance to do it, but…"

"Hehehehehehehe!"

"Opting out means death!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"To get power, you have to sweat blood for it, or die trying, that is the number one rule that was set by my master, the Great Carcarot Gorgoneon".

"I really choose the right location. With interesting predators like a Megalodon, a Space Beast, and a battle maniac like that Omega fool, I am in for a treat, I can't wait to grab my popcorns for this fierce arena battle".

"Bad luck, stupid Megalodon!"

"Begin!"

"Wait!" Sebastian quickly interjected as the bright blue light in the room started dissipating. "How many opponents am I required to beat to qualify?"

Unfortunately for him, he received no reply.

The arena battle had already begun.

The next moment, a power that he could not resist acted on Sebastian's body and he was immobilized completely. This power wrapped him up before taking him out of his room to the battle arena.

As soon as he arrived, his opponent also arrived.

Sebastian's met his first opponent in the first test of the inheritance.
