Ocean Master

Outside the hole, in the main battlefield, the battle was already at the ultimate climax as both parties were now engrossed in it and giving their all. Blood flowed, opponents died, but Octumpedam remained standing.

Even Old Mak was now bleeding severely. Compared to the first time that he appeared looking plain and simple, now, his hidden adaptations already appeared, making him look like a mythical shark.

Despite all these and with the help of the 2 other purple tier powerhouses, this Octopus was still proving too strong to kill.

From the normal 35+ Mammoth Crocodiles that were on the battlefield, less than 8 Mammoth Crocodiles were left swimming and all of them were injured.

For the Draconic Lizards, from their original 40+ lineup that they came with, those that survived and were still fighting were less than 20.

All these showed the power of the frightening Octopus. If they knew that its current strength was due to it being suppressed, its opponents may have already given up and presented themselves as free food.

The battle was already at that point where fast, sad, and blood-boiling music was playing in the background to highlight it. 

It was already at that point where the winner would be decided. 

…

Right now, she was focused on healing her leader from a distance.

Amid the raging battle and the berserk-fighting style of the enormous Great White Shark, she was the main reason why the shark leader kept on fighting.

At this point, everything already started pointing that they would lose despite Old Mak's addition but he still didn't give up yet. After decades as a predator in Oceania, one of his greatest rules was that it was never over until it was over.

In the middle of the disaster being caused by the battle, something else appeared, something from a Shark that originally disappeared for a few minutes.

Boom!

Before the startled eyes of the battling predators and even Octumpedam himself, 5 blueish-white Ice Spears suddenly dug through the main body of the Octopus, spreading blue blood everywhere.

[Special Effect Detected: Your Ice Spears magic manifestation has successfully triggered the freezing effect.]

[Freezing Damage has been triggered: Additional -10 freezing damage would be dealt every second for 10 seconds.] 

[You have created magic manifestation: War Hammer!]

[You have created…]

Sebastian used the magic manifestation spamming strategy again, but this time it was much more dangerous and effective. 

To the astonishment of every predator on the battlefield including Octumpedam, the 5 spears were not the end. As a part of the Octopus froze, other weapons emerged, digging through its body from below and dealing damage.

Booming sounds reverberated as the war hammer struck the Octopus's main body from below, dealing astronomical damage with each blow as depressions appeared on the Octopus's body.

Dozens of flaming swords cut rampantly, fire sabers slashed left and right without restraints, lightning axes hacked down with frightening force, and arrows were shot out, tearing the Octopus's body apart.

In a few seconds, the location of the Octopus's main body blossomed with blue blood flying everywhere as the weapons continued their dark work. A scenario of carnage presented itself immediately.

[You have dealt astronomical stacked damage to your opponent: You have dealt -3438 damage!]

[You have dealt astronomical stacked damage…]

[You have dealt astronomical stacked damage…]

[Effects: All your skills will experience a 30% increase in efficacy for 40 seconds, and all your adaptations will experience a 15% increase in durability and usefulness.]

Yeeeeeeeek!!!

Octumpedam made the weird sound of pain again as it reverberated through the water loudly, showing how much agony it was experiencing.

He retrieved his tentacles, striking underneath his body but the tentacles caught no opponent. He tried flipping his body to see the enemy, but he could not as the magic chains held him in place.

Trying to add too much force would bring backlash damage to him that would leave him feeling like his brain was being torn out of his body. 

Unfortunately, he didn't have a skill like electroreceptors which would have been a lifesaver to him at this moment.

Seeing the sudden change of situation in the battlefield, despite not understanding or even knowing what was happening, Old Mak only hesitated slightly before shooting down a thick bolt of thunder.

Even if he didn't know who was secretly helping them, his experience as a predator told him that the enemy of your enemy was your friend so why hesitate?

As soon as Old Mak attacked, every other surviving predator on the battlefield reacted as they threw out their strongest skills one last time at the Octopus. 

Combining all these attacks, they formed a terrifying combo that chipped thousands of HP from the Octopus every second. He tried retaliating but Sebastian's unrelenting barrage left him helpless and frustrated.

Yeek! Yeek!! Yeek!!!

He kept on wailing, making the weird noise in pain and agony but no one came to his plight. His health points kept on dwindling, and in a few minutes, it decreased to that dangerously low level.

At this moment, it was already a fact that Octumpedam was dying. Knowing this also, the Octopus's brain moved as he came to a painful decision fast.

Suddenly, his enormous body glowed a deep yellowish red color as his magic power spiked. The next moment, his bleeding body jerked before becoming stiff.

He was dead, but that was what the other predators thought, Sebastian thought otherwise as his system didn't give him any such notification.

While he rapidly tried to analyze the skill that the Octopus used at the end, he saw something that surprised him. He saw a miniature version of the Octopus rapidly descending down the hole.

Apart from the size, another difference between it and the main body was that it was blueish and illusory like a phantom soul.

Seeing this, Sebastian was stunned and the Octopus soul was stunned too as it detected the Great White Shark. 

He somehow understood them, and the mental signals were emotions of fear and panic from the Octopus. 

"Panic?" Sebastian's brain suddenly clicked, then he attacked with a skill that he originally seldom used in battles.

[You have activated skill: Sound Control.]

[You have created a random vibrational sound wave: Die!]

The next moment, the sound filled the hole, spreading everywhere.

Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!

As the sound reverberated, the Octopus soul shivered before shrinking up. Silent wails started being let out by it but Sebastian didn't relent as the soul started dissipating like it was being erased from the world.

"Please, don't kill me". 

Sebastian suddenly felt another mental signal enter his brain but he did not relent, he continued blasting out the out-of-tune sound.

"Don't kill me!"

"You'll die too if I die, that's how the magic power in this hole works!"

Hearing that, Sebastian's willpower wavered a bit but when he remembered movies that he watched from his previous world, he hardened his heart and intensified his actions.

"If you spare me, I'll make you become a purple tier powerhouse!"

"Do you know who I am? I am a red tier power…"

The soul flickered before finally dissipating.

[Congratulations! You have killed a Red tier mutated Devouring Octopus…]
