Ocean Master

Chapter 48 - Dragon Fireflies.



The Dragon Firefly had a vicious expression on its face as it pursued its target. Its almost transparent beetle-like wings flapped at the water repeatedly, rapidly increasing its speed in the water.

Its 2 spiked antennas waved through the water carefreely, making it seem like an Ocean overlord leisurely hunting prey.

The glowing yellowish-green eyes of the waterbird of prey watched its target intently, its focus as terrifying as a periscope's as it gradually closed the distance. Its talons were already opening up for the juicy catch.

It suddenly spread its wings thin and dived, using the change in momentum to accelerate and arrive before Sebastian in an instant.

As its strong, huge, and sharp talons closed in on the prey, a tower shield suddenly appeared before it.

Scratch!

A loud scratching sound reverberated as its sharp talons clashed with the shield. Feeling the extremely hard surface beneath it, confusion clearly showed on its face and Sebastian took advantage of this.

Before it could understand what was going on, a pitch-black hammer appeared above it in mid-water before slamming down hard.

Boom!

Its vision went dark as stars replaced every other thing in its mind.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Tower Shield.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: War Hammer.]

[You have inflicted 24 Damage to your opponent: Your opponent has been inflicted with the stunned state.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Flaming Sword.]

Sebastian stacked all 3 magic manifestations in such a well-timed manner that one arrived before the other at exactly the same time frame, and the effects were lethal to the clueless water bird.

As soon as the bird's mind went black after the first attack from the war hammer, the flaming sword appeared behind the tower shield and stabbed forward.

The sizzling water parted ways to allow the sword to gather more momentum as it stabbed without any hindrance or resistance at the bird's chest, drilling all the way in as blood poured down in waves.

[You have dealt Critical Damage to your opponent: -42 Damage.]

This was when the bird's eyes finally snapped open with pain shining from its depths. The painful sensation of both the hammer's slam, and now the stab from the flaming sword dealt so much damage to it that it was now in agony.

As it writhed in pain, from the corner of its green eyes, it suddenly saw the great white shark rapidly swimming towards it.

It instinctively tried to flap its enormous wings and retreat but Sebastian who already gathered momentum was faster, his maws opened up as the rows of dagger-sharp teeth inside it snapped at the bird's neck.

Crunch!

The bird's neck visibly suffered a depression, the sound of bones breaking followed, then a flood of blood-fall accompanied it as dark green blood flowed out of the bird's neck in waves.

Its enormous body shuddered, its muscles visibly contracted before relaxing as a lot of strength and vitality got lost from its body in one go.

Its eyes glazed over before it opened its mouth wide.

Screech…!!!

This screech was unlike the first time that they descended from above, it had a kind of pleading and sorrowful vibe to it compared to the previous one of dominance and arrogance.

Immediately after the screech sounded, the 2 bigger Dragon fireflies who were feasting on the prey before them turned their eyes to check on their sibling in alarm.

Seeing the faltering bird, seeing the dagger-sharp teeth of the shark sucking the life out of its sibling, the biggest Dragon Firefly shrieked in rage.

Then it swam up, spread its wings wide before opening its mouth even wider.

The water before its mouth suddenly started boiling, turning to steam like an abyssal demon was being released from its mouth. Then, its throat reeled in, allowing the dark green fire to come pouring out like a flood.

The dark green fire did not spread out, instead, it flew in a straight concentrated line towards the shark who was at the point of killing the bird already.

Immediately as Sebastian saw the fire, he originally wanted to tank it and wait until he killed the bird but seeing the surrounding waterbody that seemed like it was evaporating, he turned and decisively escaped immediately.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

While escaping, he created his tower shield magic manifestation again before placing it behind him to first weather the damage.

Boom!

The tower shield held back the fire for a few seconds, then it ignited and melted as the green fire continued its unimpeded approach.

Sebastian 4th law to being a great white Shark- Thou shalt not act without having a contingency plan.

Before he made the plan to try killing the bird, Sebastian already took note of this rule and made his contingency plan.

Below this battlefield was a barely noticeable tunnel, but he already noticed it since and this was his contingency plan.

The tower shield only bought a few seconds for him, but these precious seconds were all that he needed.

[You have activated skill: Magic Teeth.]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

His magic teeth shot out at a rapid pace, shooting at the rock formations that formed the entrance of the tunnel. Though they didn't do much, they were able to dig into the foundations of the entrance a bit and this was all he needed.

Increasing his speed even further, he rushed into the tunnel while at the same time using his body to ram at the entrance to the tunnel.

Bam!

The shock force tyrannically spread everywhere, affecting the already tipped-over foundations of the entrance.

Before the dark green fire could arrive, the entrance caved in on itself and the rocks collapsed in, covering the whole entrance.

Boom!

The green fire hit the entrance, it melted it a few inches in, but it was firmly stopped by the sturdy rocks of the small tunnel.

Then if finally dissipated; the shark escaped.
