Ocean Master

"Bull Sharks!"

If Sebastian could not identify what shark this was, then it would have been better if he directly renounced his identity as an anatomist. Due to his profession, he's dealt with this dangerous predator countless times.

As one of the apex predator sharks ranked among the top 10 dangerous sharks in the world, this shark was in the same category as the great whites when it came to the most frequent victims of his experiments.

Now, 3 of these apex predators hovered at a not too safe distance away from him at the other side of the boiling boulder.

Their blue bodies blended with the greenish glow of the ocean; their adaptations made their fins look like weapons of war. Their size was as exaggerated as their adaptations, they stood at 10 staggering meters.

The rows of teeth lining their maws sparkled under the illumination of the green glow, gleaming like the sharpest sword in the whole universe.

Like they could feel the resentment of their countless siblings that died and suffered from his experiments, they directed a look that should only be sent to your archenemy at him.

Feeling the bloodlust filled in the gaze, Sebastian once again shuddered.

"Bro, I think we can discuss this".

Perhaps, they were too dumb to understand what he was saying or it just irritated them, but as soon as Sebastian opened his mouth, the 3 bull sharks swiped their tail fins at the water and rapidly started swimming towards him.

Their intention was clear; no f*cking negotiations, just fight.

Once again, Sebastian was dumbfounded by the science of this world. The 3 Bull sharks directly denied science and were now swimming at a speed equivalent to that of his car in his previous world.

Seeing this, he felt a lot of thoughts go through his mind.

There was no way that he was about to emerge victorious from a battle against these 3 sharks when he was still level 10. And in terms of speed, he was dwarfed also.

He suddenly felt anxious, but this could not stop his instincts.

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Electroreceptors.]

Whoosh!

The water in his previous location rapidly stirred to form a mini-vortex as he turned and rapidly started swimming away at the fastest speed that he could muster.

As he swam, his eyes scrutinized the surrounding for any hiding locations. This encounter was completely random, so he was not able to draft a contingency plan which left him feeling even more anxious.

Despite his current speed, he could see the 3 bull sharks rapidly closing the distance through the electromagnetic vision of his electroreceptors.

As the distance between them became closer, perhaps due to being too anxious, his brain directly geared into overdrive. A strange flow of rationality and calmness suddenly came from nowhere to neutralize his anxiousness.

Then, he started analyzing his chances in the case of a battle.

As he analyzed, he suddenly flinched as his electroreceptors detected a long thin black line suddenly appearing before the biggest Bull Shark.

Before he could comprehend what, this was, the thin black line slashed at him like a black burning whip. He tried to dodge immediately but he was not fast enough, the whip-like black lines hit his skin.

Immediately, he felt unimaginable pain strike at his brain as his skin started peeling off like it became rotten all of a sudden.

[A magic skill has been used on you: Corrosion Whip.]

[You have been inflicted with -7 [×4] Damage.]

Seeing how the damage kept on stacking as the black whip remained on his skin, he immediately dashed to the side and dodged it but it already dealt significant damage at this point.

As he flapped his tail fins to swim faster, he rapidly analyzed the information that was released by the system.

"Corrosion Whip…, Corrosion magic".

As he made these deductions, the black magic lines were already forming another whip to hit at his skin.

This time, he was prepared and dodged on time. But to his despair, the other 2 Bull sharks revealed the same corrosion magic as they formed more corrosion whips to attack him.

Now filled with dread for the magic ability after understanding it, he did not dare continue swimming and tank the damage head-on.

He directed more attention to dodging, which indirectly meant that his speed was reduced. The Bull sharks capitalized on this fact, rapidly decreasing the distance between them.

Snap!

Their rows of teeth were already clapping hungrily at the water as they closed the distance to their prey.

Seeing this, Sebastian knew that it was time to retaliate. But before he could even form a complete coherent thought, he saw the black corrosion magic appear at his front.

The thin black lines quickly converged together to form something like a net. As soon as he hit it, he received damage while his body bounced back without his consent to the waiting fearsome jaws of the biggest Bull shark.

He retaliated immediately.

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

[You have activated skill: Spike Attack.]

As his spike adaptations jutted out of his sides, he used his battering ram skill to add to the speed of his bouncing back, rapidly hitting the Bull shark before it could react.

Boom!

His body slammed into the sides of the Bull shark's mouth, barely dodging the sharp teeth that were prepared to slam shut against his body a moment ago.

The other 2 Bull sharks reacted immediately, one of them attacked him from behind while he clashed with the other from the front.

[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]

Crunch!

The Bull Shark behind him bit hard at his tail fin but he ignored the pain as he also bit down with every fiber of his being at the one before him. Immediately as his teeth hit their prize, he vigorously shook his body.

The same action that he did was replicated by the shark who attacked him from behind. As his teeth tore at the flesh of its sibling, so did its teeth tear hard at his hard dense skin.

[You have been attacked by a skill: Corrosion Bite.]

Feeling the familiar feeling of his skin giving way and the unbearable pain, Sebastian's heart sank. The pain brought him to the verge of lunacy already but he tried to hold up.

As he struggled from the bite, his eyes clashed with the boiling boulder. A plan rapidly formed in his mind, perhaps stimulated by the pain.

Crunch!

The biggest Bull shark finally recovered and bit on his flesh too but he gritted his teeth through the pain, shook them off before rapidly advancing towards the boiling boulder.

The 3 Bull sharks were fast behind his heels.

When he almost got there, he was shocked to suddenly discover a newcomer. He dodged to the side at the last moment as another shark whose head looked like a hammer rushed at his previous location.

It probably activated a skill already as the Hammerhead shark's head was now glowing in a fierce brown glow that made it look like it was tougher than stone.

The nearest incoming Bull shark was slow to react, it collided directly with the Hammerhead shark's stone head.

Boom!

Watching from the side while suppressing his pain, Sebastian was flabbergasted by the sudden newcomer and the force that accompanied the collision.

"Is this a f*cking Battle Royale of sharks or something?"
