Ocean Master

"You finally decided to come right, shameless Lord?"

"What?" Sebastian was dumbfounded. What was this old lizard trying to drive at suddenly calling him shameless?

As soon as he showed up in the territory of the Draconic Lizards, he did not receive the warm welcome universal of all superheroes that he expected, rather he heard these words of blasphemy.

"What do you mean?" He asked again for clarification.

"You really want to know?" As he asked, the Lizard Lord already started swimming out of his alpha hole. "Let's swim, my family is still sleeping, you don't want to disturb them, right?"

"Oh, let's swim then". 

Slowly, the 2 predators swam away from the location of the Draconic Lizard kingdom entirely to the extent where Sebastian no longer felt the effects of the poisonous substance in the surrounding water.

Still, they swam forward while he waited and waited without hearing a word from the Lizard. When he finally became impatient with the urge to turn and demand an explanation, what the lizard said next almost made him choke.

"Where are the magic cores?"

"…"

"Umm…, magic cores? What's that?"

Whip!

The Draconic lizard's tail rose up so fast that Sebastian could hardly react, then it came down and whipped his back with the blunt end.

[You have been inflicted with -8 Damage.]

"Ouch!" Sebastian felt an urge to rub his back but unfortunately, he didn't have the hands to do that. "Why did you do that?"

"Where are the magic cores?"

"What's a magic…"

[You have activated skill: Magic Shield.]

Whip!

This time, no damage was dealt as Sebastian's magic shield absolved the damage. Both parties looked at each other quietly in silence without the lizard attempting to whip him again, then the lizard shook his head.

"Sigh! You're really the shameless Lord". The lizard lamented, revealing a sad expression on his lizard face. "Clown was a lot of things but not a liar, you're the worst lair and acquaintance ever".

"…"

Sebastian didn't know what to say. "Umm, I only took one".

"HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BELIEVE THAT, SHAMELESS LIAR?!"

"…"

Sebastian was even more speechless. "You didn't know before, right? You're just guessing, you're even more shameless than I am". 

The lizard snorted on hearing that, it kept on throwing more words of ridicule at Sebastian until he finally relented. Sebastian brought out the purple tier magic core while telling the whole truth.

"Sigh! I actually missed out on a Red tier magic core. I said it, I'm plagued with bad luck". The Lizard Lord lamented even more while assimilating the one magic core that Sebastian produced on the spot.

After he finished assimilating the magic core, he finally became less casual as he started discussing the previous battle with Sebastian.

It didn't ask how Sebastian knew that the Octopus was an injured Red tier powerhouse, all he did was express his real feelings on hearing it which was fear.

It was normal for a purple tier powerhouse to feel fear just at the mention of the color red, it was taboo to them.

Amid the discussion between the 2 predators, Sebastian finally managed to steer the conversation back to the Lizard Lord's even more previous battle with the Octopus alongside the motherf*cker Lord.

As soon as Sebastian mentioned it, the lizard finally started making connections from previous coincidences that it originally ignored.

According to him, their previous battle against the Octopus was much more straightforward. Under the leadership of the Clown, he led his family into battle with the Octopus.

Unlike Sebastian, Clown was a clownfish who didn't excel in direct combat. He was strong, but his battle style was more towards the trickster side.

With his eccentric battle style, cunningness, and skills, together, they were able to slowly chip all life away from the Octopus.

Like what happened at the end, the exact same thing happened then and the Octopus's body went limp like it was dead, covering the hole in the process.

When the winners of the battle went closer to feast on their prey, to their shock, the originally soft Octopus flesh was so abnormally strong that their sharp teeth couldn't dig in.

This was when Clown came to intervene. According to the clownfish, the Octopus was cursed and it should be left to perform a magic ability to enable the Draconic Lizard family to benefit from it.

Clown really activated a magic skill to back up his words. 

According to the Lizard Lord, they tangibly saw white magic power being harvested out of the body of the lizard. 

Like this, Clown influenced all of them, making a region of the seamount poisonous and making them mutate to adapt to this region.

This was Clown's last gift to his Draconic Lizard family and it was what kept them living till now despite all the years that already passed.

After giving them the mutation, Clown harvested the remaining white magic power from the Octopus into his body before finally bidding them farewell and leaving the seamount for good.

After listening to the story, Sebastian was finally extricated from that feeling like he was living inside the story at that moment.

Silently, he analyzed the story and made connections.

Apparently, Octumpedam did the same thing, deciding to temporarily abandon his body to keep his soul alive, thereby tricking its hunters that it died.

Clearly, it worked though the motherf*cker Lord still seemed to have harvested something out of his body. With these connections made, Sebastian relaxed as his curiosity was finally sated.

For minutes, he kept on interacting with the Lizard Lord about a lot of different topics until they both got tired of it.

In the end, they simply told each other to inform the motherf*cker Lord of the other if either of them encountered the clownfish someday.

With that done, Sebastian left. They didn't bid farewell while crying like female humans, they were men and besides, they were predators, not fragile human girls.

"Farewell, Shameless Lord".

Sebastian already got over the new nickname that the Draconic lizard gave to him, so he simply responded politely.

"You too, Lizard Lord". 

With that, both parties went separate ways. When they couldn't see each other again, the Lizard Lord finally turned to look back and secretly revealed an emotional look.

"I'll miss you, Shameless Lord".
