Ocean Master

[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone.]

At the last moment, Sebastian activated this skill to ward of part of the damage but the hot energy beam still tore through. As soon as it tore into his body, the pain invaded his brain rapidly.

[A special adaptation arsenal has been used against you: Shell War Arsenal!]

[You have been hit by a skill: War Arsenal Specialty- Fire Beam.]

[You have been inflicted with staggering damage.]

As Sebastian reeled back in pain and agony, Verni who was not targeted was stunned for a moment before it immediately revealed an angry bloodthirsty look.

Its eyes became deeper, then it activated one of its trump card skills.

Its tail fin and dorsal fin suddenly became super sharp. Then, tons of similar fins started growing from all over its body with their edges gleaming sharply.

Then, like a spinning wheel, its body started rotating forward as the sharp fin accessories now in its body started cutting everywhere with its fire magic still raging around it.

"Die!!!" It roared.

Its frenzied attack caught 2 already injured Giant Crabs off-guard, killing them off before they could react until the elderly Crab intervened again.

Its shell opened up again like a machinery box, and this time no raging fire was inside, a cluster of stones was what appeared instead.

The huge boulder-like stones rotated before shooting out.

Bam! Bam!

The first stone stopped Verni's momentum, the second threw it backward, while the third caused a huge depression in its abdomen that caused it to roar loudly in pain.

Seeing their elder teaching the enemies a lesson, the Giant Crabs became more motivated as they clapped their dangerous claws together in the water.

Before the 4th stone could hit the shark, a pitch-black tower shield suddenly appeared which firmly stopped it in its tracks.

From the side, Sebastian's eyes glowed a deep green.

[You have activated skill: Rejuvenation.]

[You have activated skill: Water Transmutation.]

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

Seeing the elderly Giant Crab appear and the damage that each of its attacks dealt, including its strange shell that seemed like a mechanical box, he knew that he met a strong opponent this time.

"Is my luck so freaking bad? Why do I meet boss opponents each time?"

Though he felt like cursing at the goddess of luck all day, he knew that he had to fight and that was what he would do.

[You have created a magic manifestation: Fire Sabers.]

As soon as the dual pitch-black sabers appeared, a world of fire descended with it, spreading even more raging heat to the surroundings.

Without hesitation, both sabers slashed their way forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

[You have killed a Giant Crab- Level 14: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained…]

The Giant Crabs tried to resist, but the power moving the sabers proved too strong for them. The sabers cut them apart like a knife slicing vegetables.

Seeing this, the fiery eyes of the elderly Giant Crab narrowed as it retaliated. Its shell opened up again, then a stronger version of the fire spears appeared as they shot forward with speed.

Boom!

Sebastian's pitch-black tower shield held strong like the ancient walls of China- it towered like the shield used by the Legendary Spartan, Leonidas himself.

In 2 minutes, 8 Giant Crabs died to the rampaging Sabers amidst supplementary attacks being thrown by Sebastian and Verni into the fray.

Seeing that it could not breach the enemy's defense and its children kept on dying, the elderly Giant Crab curled itself up, making itself seem like a turtle who rolled inside its shell to hide.

After it did this, its machinery box-like shell opened up again and a huge fiery shield suddenly flickered to life.

Like they already encountered such situations in the past, all the Giant Crabs in the cave retreated behind this huge shield.

Bam! Bam!

Sebastian's saber magic manifestations struck at the shield but it only vibrated without revealing any cracks. Seeing this, Sebastian was surprised but he did not let up as he continued attacking.

For about another 3 minutes, this stalemate continued as he burned his magic power to strike with his sabers while the elderly Crab burned its magic power to maintain the shield.

Seeing this, Sebastian changed plans mid-way.

[You have created a magic manifestation: Bow and Arrow.]

He resolved to use the same strategy that he used to kill the troublesome stingray back at the Leroy lair. Without hesitating, he rapidly pumped his magic power to empower this magic manifestation.

Hovering in the water, the pitch-black bow and arrow were wrapped with a green magic force as the light slowly grew blinding.

Behind the shield, the elderly Crab's eyes flickered on seeing this. It originally decided to stay and withstand it but as the seconds passed with the power in the arrow growing stronger, it changed its decision mid-way.

While still maintaining the fiery magic shield, its shell opened up again. This time, what seemed like ropes came out as they started attaching themselves to its remaining children that survived.

It already survived long enough and killed enough predators to know the kind of power that was brimming. As a veteran hunter and predator, it knew when to bite the bullet and escape.

[You have activated skill: Sound Control.]

With no intention to let it escape, Sebastian finally released the magic manifestation that already sucked a sizeable amount of his mana points while adding a 2nd layer sound attack to it with his sound control skill.

The arrow shot out with such force, power, and speed that even the water surface distorted a bit to herald its emergence.

The sound was extremely loud like exploding dominoes.

Boom!

As soon as it collided with the fiery magic shield, cracks rapidly appeared through it but the arrow was also slowed down like it was stuck in a quagmire. Despite this, the force behind it was still strong, pushing it forward.

Seeing this, the elderly Crab turned without hesitation and took a step into the water as its legs diffused black shadows into the surrounding.

Every step as its claws moved seemed like it was tearing the time-space in the water apart, making what seemed far to become near. The water space folded like it was being squeezed.

Warp!

The Crab's stepping suddenly accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared with the Giant Crabs that it was able to tie with its rope skill.

This was one of its trump card skills that enabled it to survive till today.

For the other 6 Crabs that were left behind, as soon as the magic shield popped, their fates were decided.

The arrow tore them all apart.

[You have killed a Giant Crab- Level 12: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained…

[You have killed…]

For a long time, even though his plan was mostly successful, Sebastian hovered in the water, gaping in shock.

"What in the name of all anatomists is that freaking escape skill?"
