Ocean Master

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle between the Ancient Basilisk and the clownfish Chief Councilor already reached a new peak as the corridor was the one who suffered, it was now nothing but just a glimpse of its former self.

The massive mech already shot so many Positron beams, overloading its Positron Rifle so much that the massive Rifle already turned into scrap.

The powerful Chief Councilor continued the battle with the plasma sword alone. Not willing to give up its advantage, the mech refused to go on the defensive as it clashed head-to-head with the Ancient Basilisk.

Hiss…!!!

The massive Basilisk already lost all sense of reasoning.

This massive snake was known throughout the centuries for his calm in tense situations and his intelligence but in this battle, that grace could no longer be seen as it seemed like a Pugilist King possessed the snake.

All this was because the Ancient Basilisk knew of the value of the Orb of Illusion, he knew what he just lost, and it pained him to his very bone marrows.

A few decades ago, a master forger of the Snake Kingdom had a breakthrough and managed to forge a powerful magic gadget whose only purpose was evaluating the value of other magic gadgets.

Through this magic gadget, the master forger was able to bend the rules of nature and evaluate the value of the Orb of Illusion that the clownfish councilors were so proud of and always held in high esteem.

To their shock, the value of the Orb was so much that it exceeded the valuation limits of the magic gadget. 

The snakes were consumed by greed immediately, and this was one of the main reasons that led to all the planning that eventually resulted in this battle.

Knowing that he was played which was already damaging enough to his pride, and then knowing the value of what he just lost, the Ancient Basilisk lost every dine of rationality as he degenerated into the evil god.

"Die!" "Die!" "Die!"

At this moment, he was like an investor who just lost all his stocks.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

His teeth repeatedly crunched at the metallic frame of the mech, his body coiled around the mech, trying to squeeze it through pressure while his internal organ adaptations repeatedly released lethal poison on the mech\'s frame.

Various parts of the mech made sizzling sounds as the terrifying purple poison ate at its frame. Despite this, the mech held steady.

The battle between the other councilors and snake elders already divulged into a side battle as the Ancient Basilisk and the Chief Councilor\'s ferocity grew so much that the shockwaves of their battle alone were dangerous to the others.

Every one of them was tired, they\'ve been battling for over 5 hours non-stop, they didn\'t dare to stop only because their leaders were still fighting.

As the battle between the 2 main predators kept on escalating, something happened that instantly caused the both of them to stop their battle.

Bzzz!

The Megalodon was teleported outside the small gate that led inside the zone of glory, everyone was shocked.

Before they could even start thinking and speculating about what happened inside the zone of glory, a rainbow-colored orb floated before the Megalodon.

[You have activated magic gadget: Orb of Illusion!]

[You have activated magic gadget\'s active skill: Soul Snatcher!]

Whoosh!

Once Sebastian aimed, he released it. A rainbow ball of light that was only visible to Sebastian immediately shot out from the orb towards the Ancient Basilisk.

Immediately, the powerful predatory snake shuddered as it felt threatened. Without even thinking, the Ancient Basilisk turned intending to escape but the invisible rainbow ball of light was faster.

Bam!

A soft sound of impact reverberated that all the predators present felt in their souls, making them shudder.

Hiss…!!!

Before the shocked eyes of the predators, a blob of darkness was pulled out of the Ancient Basilisk\'s head. The blob of darkness struggled and hissed loudly but the power pulling it had a firm grasp on it as it crushed it the next moment.

With a soft puff sound, the blob of darkness disappeared.

The soul of the Ancient Basilisk was crushed!

[Congratulations! You have killed a Red tier mutated Ancient Basilisk- Level 76: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 200 Skill Points and 250 Adaptation Points.]

[You have acquired a Condensed Mana Core.]

[Congratulations! You have leveled up once.]

[Congratulations! You have leveled up once.]

Absolute silence suddenly descended into this corridor.

The body vessel of the Ancient Basilisk was still intact, only the injuries that it had sustained since were still there, no new fresh injury that could kill it immediately was there but it was dead.

Whoosh!

The remaining 4 snake elders reacted instantly!

With a speed that Sebastian could not imagine that they had before, these 4 powerful Red tier predators beat a hasty retreat.

Activating the Orb of Illusion for the first time sucked Sebastian\'s mana dry. The clownfish were now his allies, so he could not just suck their mana like before which meant that he could not recover it anytime soon.

Boom!

The powerful mech of the Chief Councilor threw its plasma sword at the escaping snake elders. The super-hot sword cut one of the elders, but despite the pain and the bleeding, this tenacious snake persevered and escaped. 

According to Eliana, the clownfish would understand his new status when he came out, so Sebastian didn\'t even deem it right to speak to them immediately.

Now was time to win the war, talk time was later.

[You have activated skill: Mana Control!]

"Follow me, let us vanquish the snakes!"

"Follow the Megalodon Lord!" The Chief Councilor yelled.

Once the other clownfish received their Chief Councilor\'s consent, they yelled in response to Sebastian as together, they stormed out of the corridor outside towards the zone of transition where the battle was still raging fiercely.

[You have activated skill: Mega Dash!]

[You have activated skill: Dissecting Bite!]

Sebastian did not waste any time before jumping into the fray. With his teeth that were raring for blood, he tore the snakes that were before him apart.

The Chief Councilor\'s mechs and all the other councilors jumped in, as they started a slaughter that pierced straight into the heart of the snake army.

On seeing their leaders, the clownfish soldiers felt their morale increasing rapidly while the snakes felt their hearts clenching in fear.

Despite the doubts that the snakes had, they believed that their elders were behind them which gave them the courage to fight back.

Unfortunately for them, their elders were gone. They were now left alone to fend for themselves which they could not.

The Anemone Domain became a slaughter ground for snakes.

Under the leadership of Sebastian and the Chief Councilor, the clownfish soldiers slaughtered every single snake in the city and outside the city before they brought the battle to the enemy territory.

Sebastian was not stopping until the Snake Kingdom became history.

The 4 snake elders that escaped were not able to do much before the full force of the clownfish descended upon their territory.

The 4 snake elders did not dare to stay behind, they took only their closest and strongest confidants before abandoning everyone else and their home.

Once the snake elders escaped, the Snake Kingdom became history.

On that day, the seamount where the Snake Kingdom originally lay shattered. Hundreds of thousands of snakes died, a few escaped, and the Anemone Domain became the undisputed winner of the war.

The first true overlord of this region of the Sea was born.

Also, that day, the legend of the Megalodon Lord was born. The powerful Megalodon singlehandedly turned the tides in favor of the Anemone Domain.
