Chapter 419 Sebastian Vs The Chaos Mongers! [1]
419 Sebastian Vs The Chaos Mongers! [1]
Sebastian forgot something, all Chaos Mongers that were referred to as Soaring Devourers in Manapedia only had access to one magic domain in their lives due to their genetic makeup, and this magic domain was chaos magic.
Chaos Mongers were Space Beasts finetuned to harness the power of chaos.
Whoosh!
Before Sebastian could think further, with a whoosh sound, the 3 Chaos Mongers whose red eyes already pinpointed their prey dived down.
[You have activated skill: Mega Dash!]
The Mega Dash skill was an evolved version of the Triple Reverse Swim skill, which meant that Sebastian still retained the ability of swimming backward with his face still facing the front.
The reason why he decided to retreat and not engage these monsters of destruction was simple, he wanted to understand his circumstances first.
Facing a purple tier Space Beast was an entirely different manner than facing a Red tier Space Beast who had his strength suppressed to the purple tier realm, the latter would still crush the former anywhere, anytime.
Having tested his overall strength against the mighty Leviathon, Sebastian knew how OP he could become when pitted against other purple-tier predators and if he decided to give his best.
Space Beasts were monsters, but Sebastian was even more of a monster.
In this test, before starting, Sebastian wanted to think and know how much strength he could reveal.
He needed to know the amount of strength that would separate him as either mediocre, strong, genius, and the amount of strength that would make the Mana Lords label him as a horrifying monster fit for dissection.
Sebastian wanted to win, he wanted to get the award for 1st place but if this was at the expense of his life then he was out.
Once his life was involved, all the promised rewards lost their meaning.
Now, the only problem with this was that he had not seen his competitors in action enough to gauge the amount of strength that would single him out as a cheat monster that needed to be dissected to know his secret.
At this moment, Sebastian was left in a dilemma, he really wanted to think to know the right amount of strength to exert but his opponents were not playing along with his plans, the 3 mighty Chaos Mongers were already diving towards him like birds of prey whooping down to capture their prey.
He had little time to think over his actions.
Having read about Chaos Mongers, he knew how dangerous their magic domain could be in battle which put him under more pressure. If he lost the initiative from the beginning, a lot of things would have gone wrong.
While he still prayed against it, it happened, the Chaos Mongers attacked.
Warp! Bzzz!
What seemed like a black hole appeared beside Sebastian the next moment, and from inside it emerged the 2 dangerous beaks of one of the Chaos Mongers that was already wide open with the intention to gobble him up.
This seemed like space magic teleportation, but Sebastian knew that it was not. Instead of manipulating space to move forward, chaos magic instead worked on the very fabric of reality and Oceania nature.
The laws of Oceania said that front was front and back was back, but chaos magic twisted these laws, turning front to back, and white to black.
Proficiency with and quality of chaos magic of the predator using it determined how much the laws of the world could be twisted to one's bidding.
What the Chaos Monger did was simply temporarily twist the laws of nature governing the region between him and Sebastian. Temporarily, the law of distance was negated, enabling him to arrive before Sebastian instantly.
This was the law of chaos; this was Chaos Magic!
Bzzz! Bzzz!
Instantly after the first Chaos Monger made his move and attacked, the remaining 2 did as they arrived before Sebastian the next moment in the same manner with their 2 dangerous beaks already going for the attack.
The time interval in between all these actions was too small, Sebastian could not make any meaningful thought, he reacted instinctively.
[You have activated skill: Mega Magic Shield!]
Boom!
[You have been affected by Chaos Magic!]
[Your Mega Magic Shield durability has been lowered by 60%!]
[Your defense has temporarily been lowered by 20%!]
By warping the very magic laws that constituted Sebastian's skills, the 3 Chaos Mongers managed to lower his magic shield durability by 60% and his overall defense by 20% even before the attack hit.
When they finally hit, Sebastian felt the effects of chaos magic firsthand.
The 3 pairs of powerful beaks dug into Sebastian's flesh after easily ripping his mega magic shield apart like it was mere paper.
Boom!
[You have been dealt staggering damage!]
Just a casual attack from the 3 Chaos Mongers dealt so much damage that Sebastian felt like he was facing a dozen normal purple tier predators.
The pain was so much that he gritted his teeth, despite this it kept on biting at him like a thousand needles were poking at his brain. The Chaos Mongers didn't just stop at this after they finally got him with their powerful pair of beaks.
If their beaks were their lancers to stab, their powerful wings were their swords to cut while their sturdy leg claws were perfect for rough destruction.
The clever Chaos Mongers attacked Sebastian from 3 different directions which gave them the perfect opportunity to rip him apart piece by piece.
They stabbed, cut, and clawed in different directions.
All these happened in just a few seconds, but the pain was so much that Sebastian felt like he had gone through lifetimes. The damage to him compared to his overall health may not be much yet, but the pain was the real deal.
This pain was what finally flipped the switch in Sebastian's head.
How dare he hold back when his enemies were not holding back? If Space Beasts did not hold back, as a Megalodon, he would not also hold back.
Besides, if being too good in this tournament would be detrimental to him or even cost him his life, then why compete for 1st place? In both his lives, he was not used to holding back and he would not start learning it now.
Also, from his observations since arriving in Manapedia, he was pretty sure already that a Black tier predator oversaw this world.
He was not naïve enough to believe that a Black tier predator, and not just any Black tier predator, a Mana Lord for that manner wouldn't recognize his uniqueness immediately after he entered this [You have activated skill: Breath of the Sound Megalodon!]

Wooo….!!!
world.
In his opinion, the Black tier predator presiding over Manapedia already recognized him, he held 2 unique skills but the Black tier predator didn't attack him which in his books already said a lot about the predator's stance.
If the Black tier predator didn't kill him for wielding 2 unique skills, he doubted that he would kill him for performing too perfectly.
From Eliana's explanation, he knew that the Black tier predators of Oceania were already separated into 2 factions, those that supported him and those that did not, hoping to take his unique skills for themselves.
So far, it was safe to say that the Mana Lord Black tier predator supported him. All these conclusions came to him in less than a second.
Once he came to them, his stance finally changed.
"F*ck holding back!"
[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone!]
[Adaptation has been triggered: Damage Reflection Skin Coating!]
[You have reflected 80% damage to your opponents!]
[You have activated skill: Sonic Dissonance!]
[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection!]
"F*ck you, you, and you!!!"
[You have activated skill: Acrobatic Maneuverability!]
With the water cyclone, the Chaos Mongers were pushed back slightly, the damage reflection skin coating adaptation coincidentally triggered at the exact same moment as it contributed to pushing the 2 Space Beasts back.
The next moment, Sebastian made use of 2 sound skills, sonic dissonance to disrupt their mental state while sonic reflection attacks and disorganize them.
This was the reason why they retaliated in a disorganized manner; Sebastian was able to dodge them all with his acrobatic maneuverability.
This little time was all that he needed; he finally bought enough space for him to release the attack that he planned from the very beginning.
[You have activated skill: Breath of the Sound Megalodon!]
