Ocean Master

Inside the huge crater situated at the middle of the seamount.

The huge Crocodile kingdom was silent and still, this was normal as the day was still relatively dark. Some negligible signs of the approaching morning were already emerging, but this was not enough to awaken the Crocodiles.

In their various holes, they were still asleep, enjoying the energy given by the food that they feasted on the previous day.

The extreme heat of the ocean volcano was a little subdued now as the glow of morning was not here yet. Just like on earth, the temperature here decreased slightly at night.

Amid this silent environment, the time ticked forward slowly.

A few minutes to an hour later, the silent atmosphere in the surrounding started changing slightly. The lava lake inside the seamount started boiling, spreading even more heat to the surroundings.

All these were because the morning was here. Just like the sun on earth, the blueish-green glow of the Sea's magic essence illuminated everywhere with its warm embrace.

The time ticked forward some more before the first signs of activity in the huge Crocodile kingdom were detected. As the absolute overlords of this seamount, they woke up anytime they liked as they had no natural predators here.

As soon as the first Crocodile woke up, it was followed by the second then the third as a sense of life and nature bloomed again in this huge crater.

As the water waves started flowing slowly in a direction, the leaves of the huge red trees surrounding the crater swayed slightly.

The alpha Crocodile also woke up amid the activities. It swam forward, up to a huge boulder that was close to the lava lake. Then it looked at its family members, its subjects, and the whole seamount before opening its wide maws.

Roar…!!!

Just like a Lion King, it announced the dawn of a new day with the roar powered by its vibrating guttural cords.

After doing this for a few seconds, with pride, it swam down but it suddenly paused as it heard a strange sound that left its heart suddenly beating faster reverberating through the water.

The sound was like a cacophony of noise formed by numerous armies beating war drums at the same time. At times, it became high-pitched while at other times, it became low and off-beat.

At other times, loud roars mixed in, echoing like a group of Dragons at the Red tier were roaring challenges at a Sea King who stood at the pinnacle of the Black tier.

The impact being induced by this strange sound was felt across the whole crater. All the Crocodiles stiffened, feeling like the sword of Damocles was directly above their heads.

A tense atmosphere directly descended on the crater. Right now, all the alpha Croc felt from this strange sound was Doom!

As it waited for what was inducing so much horror in its heart, it already started grinding its teeth loudly as it equally produced threatening sounds.

Amid it doing this, it suddenly turned its head and looked in a direction. As it looked, a spot that originally blended with the surrounding redness of the seamount started changing to outline a dark blue predator.

In a few seconds, a ridiculously huge great white shark towering over 20 meters was outlined after leaving its camouflaged state. 

Seeing the shark's enormous size, the huge Crocodile revealed a fearsome look of battle-readiness on its face like it was facing its natural enemy.

Paring this shark's current size with the strange sounds left most of the other Crocodiles feeling an instinctive fear from their hearts, but this alpha crocodile was not affected in the slightest.

Seeing this, Sebastian was calm like he already expected it.

"Monster Croc, I challenge you to a battle to the death!"

Sebastian said it only once, but his sound control skill made the sentence echo loudly through the crater, drilling into the hearing organs of each of the Crocodiles.

Striking thunder sounds accompanied it, making it seem like a deity was the one who issued the challenge. Though most Crocodiles were still at a loss of what was happening, this made them feel even more fearful.

Seeing the Crocodile reveal its teeth, Sebastian continued while using his sound control skill to make it mute, isolating any sound made by it.

"You're too cowardly to accept my challenge?"

Roar! Roar!

Hearing the term coward, the numerous Crocodiles immediately forgot their fear as their innate pride made them start roaring angrily with the intention to throw themselves into battle and kill this enemy.

"Then, die!"

[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection.]

Immediately, the accumulated roars of all the Crocodiles in this seamount were compacted together before being sent back at them to form an attack that stacked all the sound together.

Boom!

The sound hit back like exploding thunder, even affecting Sebastian who caused it a bit. Most Crocodiles bled from various holes in their body immediately, with all of them going dizzy.

Even the alpha Croc's eyes glazed over as it became dizzy.

"Now!" Sebastian used his sound control skill to make his voice echo everywhere again as the order was conveniently transmitted.

As soon as the order was passed, the tall trees standing in the seamount and surrounding the crater shook as hidden predators emerged from their very tops. 

While swimming down, the large convergence of Draconic lizard predators opened their mouths and roared.

They breathe out fire, a huge convergence of fire.

The fire from over 20 Draconic lizards converged together to form what could only be referred to as a fire calamity, then it all came pouring down at the Crocodiles who were still dizzy.

Boom!

The sound that followed was like exploding dominoes, the huge crater revealed a big crack in its middle, the larva lake was ignited as the larva in it erupted like the eruption of a huge active volcano.

In seconds, the crater became an embodiment of a fiery apocalypse.

Despite their thick skin and their fierce resistance against fire damage, some of the Crocodiles were roasted on the spot when all the damage stacked.

Amid roars of pain from the Crocodiles, another group of Draconic lizards appeared behind the huge crater. Their eyes glinted fiercely and without hesitation, they rushed in to attack their enemies.

They collided with the still recovering Crocodiles with force, then the war between the Draconic lizard and Crocodile family officially started.
