Chapter 244 - Predator's Show; Entering The Inheritance Ground!
When plans for the Sea King Inheritance were being made by Sebastian, Old Mak, and their allies, they planned with the conscious knowledge that Sebastian was a highly wanted predator by the Atlantians.
Because of this, in the plan, they emphasized that once the battle began, in the chaos if the Atlantians tried to pick out Sebastian from the rest, they would hide in the dark and stealthily provide help.
In a chaotic battlefield like the one after the Toad Alliance and Turtle Confraternity's warships appeared, Sebastian's chances of surviving the onslaught of the Atlantians were pretty high.
Unfortunately, life was too unpredictable.
The appearance of the Annihilation Division Fleet spoiled everything. The appearance of this Division Fleet immediately placed the Atlantians above all.
The chaos that the predators caused was nullified instantly, they had the situation in control once again which was something that Sebastian dreaded to see.
Due to this, the Atlantians could conveniently focus-attack him.
No matter how powerful Sebastian was with his unique skill, in the end, being just an orange tier predator, he had too many limitations that gave his strength a ceiling. He would not survive alone against such a mighty force.
Against the individual champions of the Atlantian army alone like the Lieutenant Colonel and the Captain, Sebastian's chances were more or less 0.
But he was not alone.
Old Mak was not like ordinary Great White Sharks, he was intelligent and knew how to improvise according to the situation.
Immediately after he understood the gravity of the situation that Sebastian found himself in, he acted. While calling out to his allies and subordinates, he moved in personally to show his stance in this situation.
In certain situations, action is better than words.
This alpha Shark's actions prodded the other predators. Without hesitation, all the Great White Sharks followed their clan head into action.
As for the Lizard Lord, he only hesitated for a fraction of a second before throwing himself in. As someone who still longed to see his hunting partner, he decided to protect Sebastian who was his only clue to the motherf*cker Lord.
His participation meant the participation of all the Draconic Lizards, and this force was not one to be scoffed at.
Only Anthony, the Champion Digger was the one who truly hesitated. But this was not for long though, he also decided to help.
As a complete newbie in this inheritance of a thing, he didn't know the dangers nor opportunities that were inside the inheritance ground.
Pairing and maintaining a good relationship with those who knew their stuff could protect his life, so he decided to help to protect his life.
Instantly, the originally chaotic group of mutated beasts were divided into the majority of still chaotic predators, and the small group of Sebastian's allies.
With Old Mak at the very front, this tide of beasts surged forth towards Sebastian's position like the stampede of 10,000 Rhinos.
On seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid did not blink an eyelid, this was because, from previous reports, he already knew that this Megalodon had a backer.
This was the reason why Lieutenant Lookman failed in killing it.
The Lieutenant Colonel already expected this, so he was not surprised. He didn't change his plans though, After all, missiles, cannons, energy beams, and laser shots were far faster than the speed of predators.
All these attacks were now closer to Sebastian more than ever, but unlike before, the sense of resignation to fate could no longer be seen.
On seeing his allies coming to his aid, Sebastian felt a strength that he didn't know was there before invading his bones. He confirmed the validity of this quote; you eat alone, you die alone.
There was power in friendship!
For the second time in his life since his encounter in Leroy's clan lair, he felt that he had companions who got his back.
Instantly, his conviction to resist death increased exponentially. Without caring about the cost, he pumped more magic power into his Heavy Armor magic manifestation to make it as sturdy as possible.
The warships' attacks finally descended.
BOOM!
Bzzz!
The impact of the collision spread a terrifying shockwave across that effectively blinded the senses of the beasts and the deep scans of the warships.
Only one predator could see through this chaotic field that was formed by the shockwave.
"Go in, he is still alive".
At some point in time, Elder Shine came out of the inheritance ground again on noticing Sebastian's predicament.
Apparently, this elder didn't leave his companions behind to enter the inheritance ground but only lurked at the entrance.
With his mastery of light magic origin laws, he penetrated all the obstructions to see Sebastian. The Megalodon was now injured, but he survived.
As soon as they received confirmation from Elder Shine, the predators engaged the Atlantians with Old Mak once again leading the charge.
"Killer Move: Thunder Constellation!"
He attacked with his best immediately, this was against an Atlantian army After all, underestimating them would be the most stupid mistake ever.
As soon as Old Mak made his move, the green glow of the Green Mist Sea that shone here took a darker shade. Then from the glow, green streaks of lightning and thunder shot out with speed.
This was an area of effect killer move!
This killer move was extremely meticulous and deadly, Old Mak directly tapped into the power of the origin magic essence to empower it.
The green convergence of lightning and thunder collided, increasing the different energies in them as they rapidly expanded their area of influence.
In a few moments, this storm of thunder and lightning engulfed every single one of the Atlantian warships, then it finally detonated!
Boom!
The sound was like exploding dominoes, all the warships were rocked hard with 5 exploding immediately due to the tyrannical energy force that tore through their metallic frames.
Almost at the same time that Old Mak attacked, the Lizard Lord moved.
Sebastian was temporarily immobilized after he suffered the attack, now Captain Omega personally moved in to finish him off.
Having detected this, the Lizard Lord moved in to intercept this Atlantian.
It took them only 2 seconds before they met. There was no prep talk, no taunting either, they directly gave each other a piece of their mind, battle!
His clan head already moved, as his second in command, Elder Marble was not far behind. With glowing brown eyes, and a brown magic field surrounding his body, Elder Marble focused on the Atlantian warships.
"Killer Move: Earth Gravitational Prison!"
Woo!
A loud sound suddenly reverberated as the gravity increased exponentially around the Atlantian army, materializing in the form of a gray magic field.
Their warships' metallic frames made creaking sounds, while some of the soldiers with weaker physiques that were inside the warships directly lost battle effectiveness as the gravity weighed on them.
This was not all, in the water, chaotic black holes suddenly opened up through which rocky gray tentacles emerged out.
These tentacles entangled every single warship on the battlefield, tightly tying them down despite their rocky form. This was a confinement killer move!
In an instant, all the Atlantian warships could no longer move.
Seeing the situation, Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid decided to get his hands dirty as he took hold of his magic Trident and floated out of his warship.
Before he could move though, he met an obstacle.
"Killer Move: Ten Thousand Years of Pain!"
Seeing that the Ocean Master was in danger, Tonado did not hold back at all, he also unleashed his trump card skill at this terrifying Atlantian soldier.
The Lieutenant Colonel reacted fast though he did not expect it.
Bam!
The terrifying tongue adaptation collided with his Trident with force.
The might that accompanied this move surprised him, paired with his unpreparedness before receiving this, Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid was flung far away from the battlefield.
The fact that he was not injured showed his terrifying strength.
On seeing 3 of his equals revealing trump cards and shining on this battlefield in different ways, Anthony immediately felt awkward.
If he didn't reveal something of the same quality, his pride would be damaged forever. And to an ant predator like him, pride and honor were extremely important.
"Killer Move: Teeth of The Champion Digger!"
The top of this seamount first turned dark as what seemed like a cloud covered it, then from this cloud rained terrifying fang adaptations.
This was also an area of effect killer move with terrifying power.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The rain of teeth descended across the enormous fleet of the Atlantian army like a hail of rain, battering the armor of their warships, dealing astronomical damage, and destroying some already damaged warships.
The momentum of the Atlantian army decreased exponentially.
This was not all though, the originally docile Elder Dangle also moved.
"Killer Move: Wail of The Undead Souls!"
Screech!
As soon as this killer move was activated, a loud sound like that of screeching birds of prey and wailing souls in hell suddenly descended on the Atlantian Fleet.
This terrifying sound attack penetrated virtually all the defenses of the warships and directly attacked the soldiers who were inside. The sounds drilled into eardrums, tearing them as brains started bursting like watermelons.
Over 200 Atlantian soldiers died instantly.
With 5 killer move activations, the allied army rallied by Sebastian gained ground against the Atlantian army for their rescue plan to be a success.
This sudden attack took the Atlantians by surprise, making them pay a huge price for their deficiency in information.
Due to the confinement killer move that was activated by Elder Marble which tied the Atlantian warships down, the surviving soldiers had no choice but to come down and fight personally against the beasts.
Great White Sharks and Draconic Lizards welcomed their challenge. The predators collided against the Atlantians like a group of rabid dogs.
Crunch! Crunch!
Bam! Bam!
The beasts terrorized the Atlantians with their enormous bodies, skills, and their terrifying teeth, reaping a lot of life in the process.
The Atlantians also terrorized the beasts. With their guns and other advanced mechanical and magic weapons, they were able to manifest a lot of effects to counter the advantage of the beasts.
In less than a minute, over 20 predators died to their frightening barrage.
It was at this moment that Sebastian was finally rescued. At this moment, he was already recovering from the immobilized state that he was left in after the warship attack barrage from the Atlantians.
While he was led towards the entrance of the inheritance by Elder Shine, the other Great White Sharks and Draconic Lizards also started retreating gradually.
The Atlantian soldiers pressed hard but they could not tear through the huge blockade that the beasts formed with their enormous bodies.
With their most powerful leaders being restrained in different ways, and their warships still tied down, their overall strength decreased exponentially.
When Sebastian got close to the entrance, a whoosh sound reverberated as Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid who was thrown out of the battlefield by Tonado finally returned with eyes blazing in anger.
Before he could attack though, someone else did.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Bow and Arrow!]
"Pow!"
Sebastian put in so much magic power that he was sure that the Atlantian soldier would be affected, and he was indeed affected.
The Lieutenant Colonel was forced to block again with his magic Trident since the arrow moved too fast. Once again, the force proved too strong, he was thrown out of the battlefield.
The Atlantian army was given no time to react by the beasts, they all rescued and carried Sebastian to safety.
Without hesitation, they all entered the inheritance entrance.
Due to their battle that blocked the entrance of the inheritance ground, the other predators could only watch bitterly as they entered. From the onset, their chances of gaining anything were close to zero.
With that, Sebastian finally entered the inheritance ground.
…
Huff! Huff!
Lieutenant Colonel Arachnid breathed roughly as he looked at the inheritance entrance that was some distance away from his location.
In the previous battle, he wasn't even given a chance to reveal a little bit of his power, the situation was completely controlled by the beasts.
He gave a hollow smile. "Truly a talented bunch of beasts!"
Without any change in his expression, he took out his communication device.
"Bring out the deep delvers".
"We're switching to plan B".
"Yes Sir!"
