Ocean Master

The President was not here!

Sebastian was stunned in place as his brain directly geared into overdrive, now rapidly working at the speed of light as theories were cooked up in his head at the pace of a machine gun.

In just milliseconds, he arrived at his answer.

The map that he accessed was probably the real map but the apartment of the President was one of the exceptions that were tampered with.

This was a common military strategy to guard against enemies, and Sebastian could not agree more with its usefulness since he was also deceived by it.

This was not the only answer that he arrived at though.

Unless the U.S military built this vacation mansion with the intent to engage in reverse psychology, then the President\'s apartment would be built in the area of the mansion that was more heavily defended.

Sebastian was already at the heart of the heavily defended area, which meant that even if this was not the President\'s apartment, the apartment had a 70% chance of being close to this one.

Sebastian didn\'t act immediately though; this was because he arrived at another deduction that could heavily tip every one of his next actions.

Though he acted very fast with his infiltration and his efficiency was off the roof, it did not take anything from the fact that 2 minutes already passed, and since he only focused his sound detector on this room originally, there was a high chance that the U.S President was already being sneaked out by his soldiers.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash!]

Sebastian rushed like the wind towards the nearest window, and when he looked down, what he saw made his face turn cloudy. What he saw could only be described as a colony of soldiers.

U.S soldiers that were heavily armed already filled the premises of the mansion like locusts sweeping through a cornfield, their formation was the most dangerous fact about them.

These soldiers were able to arrange themselves in such tight clusters in a way that they completely surrounded their President, leaving no space behind just like a colony of ants defending their ant Queen! 

The rescue formation was a perfect replica of an ant colony formation, and since the U.S President was not a huge ant queen, he was completely concealed. 

This was a well-trained army!

At one glance, Sebastian easily counted over a thousand soldiers which were shocking to him since he never knew that so many soldiers resided on this island. This was another scenario where he was deceived.

Though these countermeasures against an assassin were practically seamless, these soldiers\' only problem that could prove extremely fatal was that they failed to account for magic assassins.

[You have activated skill: Sound Control!]

[You have created a sound construct: Sound Detector!]

Sebastian zoomed in on the sound waves and sound signatures in the air. 

Everything seemed to slow down before him, his thought process and brain power exploded with so much data as sound waves bombarded his senses, then he quickly pinpointed the signature soundwaves of the oldest man in this group.

Sebastian was not too familiar with this simulated U.S President, but he knew that the President was undoubtedly the oldest man in this mansion which served as his advantage.

This was another theory that he conceptualized after digging deep into the wisdom that was imparted through Elder Dangle\'s lecture.

Young vibrant soldiers definitely had different soundwaves signatures from an old civilian President. 

These soldiers\' heartbeats were not only different under pressure due to the rigorous military training that they went through, but their breathing was also different from an old man\'s.

Breathing, heartbeats, these, and a lot of others all induced sound.

By tracing the sound waves, differentiating the sound signatures and a lot of other minor details was Sebastian able to pinpoint the U.S President.

This old man was now being pressed by his soldiers from every side. He was not in the middle of the cluster of soldiers, he was rather in an unassuming location of the formation which enabled him to draw the least attention.

At this moment, this President shook due to the influence of the heavy atmosphere, he was clearly not accustomed to an assassination attempt on his life. Sebastian confirmed what he wanted through this.

But before he could attack…

Bam!

Tu! Tu! Tu! Tu!

It was already over 30 seconds since Sebastian entered the President\'s supposed apartment, and the soldiers inside the mansion were after him.

30 seconds was more than enough time to pin his location down. As soon as these soldiers appeared, they opened fire without hesitation as a cacophony of explosions and bullet sounds quickly engulfed the apartment.

[You have activated skill: Magic Shield.]

As soon as the soldiers inside the mansion opened fire, those on the mansion\'s floor moved. Like the perfect cods of a machine, they moved without bumping at each other as they started escorting the President away.

With stern faces, their eyes as sharp as eagles were always on their surroundings and their high-caliber guns were ready to unleash hell on any other intruder that appeared.

In their opinion, the intruder who was already surrounded was dead and from a certain perspective, they were not wrong.

Sebastian let his magic shield do the defending while his brain rapidly thought of the most expedient way to assassinate the U.S President.

He was already in too deep, deciding to cower now would be detrimental, he decided that this was his best opportunity to finish this mission.

But before he could think for 2 seconds, the inexplicable happened.

BOOM!

[You have been attacked by an overloaded Positron Rifle!]

[You have been inflicted with staggering damage!]

This weapon attack was so powerful that it directly tore through Sebastian\'s energy shield, injuring him in the process as he flew back from the momentum.

The massive amount of energy packed in this particle beam was too powerful that even a magic-empowered being like Sebastian succumbed.

While coughing out blood, Sebastian rapidly swept the area with his sound detector, this was when he outlined the 5 enemies.

In the army of soldiers that were attacking him, these 5 were too eye-catching. He knew them, these 5 were the leaders of the 5 military outposts.

Captain Devon, Captain Max, Captain Jax, and Captain Briggs!

It was ridiculous for a country\'s military to assign 4 commissioned Captains to protect their President\'s vacation mansion, but here, it happened.

These 5 were not only the most skilled of all the soldiers that formed the President\'s personal guards, but they also had access to the best weapons which at this moment were the positron rifles.

These were weapons that were created using the most recent cutting-edge technology that the Sea king forcefully imagined of the U.S.A.

With these weapons, the Captains posed a threat to Sebastian!

They posed a threat to him, but Sebastian did not despair, his eyes glimmered instead as he quickly recognized that these weapons also served as the best help to him at this moment.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

4 consecutive shots were released by 4 of the captains, while the last, Captain Devon held his shot, waiting for the intruder\'s reaction.

This was when the Atlantian soldiers saw a miracle!

[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone!]

[You have activated skill: Sonic Dissonance!]

[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

For the first time in his life, Sebastian felt himself struggling to activate his water cyclone skill. The skill took more time but water succeeded in materializing in the air at the end as a raging tsunami formed in the apartment.

The tsunami was only starting to affect the soldiers since the positron beams were still moving, this was when a spooky sound assaulted their ears.

Every single soldier heard a different sound, they heard screams of their greatest nightmares, they saw their greatest nightmares coming to life.

They suddenly felt like scared 3-year-olds who were being forced by their older siblings to watch a horror movie, the feeling was tormenting.

As they felt this, before they could react, their target suddenly disappeared.

Boom!

The 4 positron beams finally hit as they recklessly spread their energy, destroying the area that they touched with tyrannical might but the already injured intruder was nowhere to be seen.

Whoosh!

Captain Briggs felt a light breeze blowing beside her ears. Instantly, the only female Captain of the group of 4 became tense as all her hair stood on end.

She instinctively swung her positron rifle to intercept the enemy.

Pa! 

Squash!

The first sound was of Sebastian stopping the lady\'s positron rifle with one hand, then the next was of his legs hitting her most treasured possessions, the 2 twin peaks that adorned her hefty chest.

The female Captain fainted immediately!

Captain Jax who was closest to her felt it, this Captain with superhuman reflexes which was abnormal for humans turned and tried to shoot.

Sebastian reacted before him though.

Bam!

The Trident hit the captain\'s face as he was thrown far away.

By this time, the remaining 2 Captain already could react. Both soldiers blocked the knives that were thrown at them, but when they recovered from the impact, they were shocked that their enemy already abandoned them again.

They looked to the right where they saw Sebastian already beside the window again. Only the Captains were able to react, the normal soldiers were still trying to process what happened.

All that happened transpired in milliseconds.

This was superhuman speed!

Both Captains were still conscious were shocked, but they turned angry and panicky the next moment when they noticed the actions of the intruder.

"STOP HIM!!!" 

Captain Devon roared but it was a little too late.

Sebastian already aimed, then he released the shot. The particle beam was unleashed from the rifle\'s muzzle, no obstacle could stop it, its super speed propelled it to the U.S President\'s side in seconds.

Ptui!

There was no explosive sound, just the sound of tearing and burning flesh.

The President died!
