Ocean Master

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The tentacles of the mommy jellyfish waved gently and stirred in the water, inducing whooshing sounds as they collided with the water waves. 

The tro.lo.lo.lo rapid movements of the jellyfish's umbrella-shaped bell already slowed to a crawl in intensity as she silently looked on at the distance. She was calm, but her rage was barely being masked up.

Even though she arrived on time, even though she gave her all, she was unable to kill even one of the 3 predators that killed so many of her children with her own tentacles.

Not only that, she was played like a fool as they took all the loot that was available on the battlefield while she could only thrash in rage like a mad jellyfish.

After evolving to become a purple tier creature, that was when she started knowing more about the world she lived in as she grew an adaptation that barely substituted for a brain in her umbrella-shaped bell.

Since that time, she thought that she finally broke the limits of brainlessness but it seemed that she was wrong after this experience.

Her last encounter with a purple-tier predator before this one only made her think about this more, making her feel more depressed. "Perhaps he was right, I am just a brainless jellyfish no matter how many adaptations that I grow".

Despite all these depressing thoughts that were in her mind, she only knew one thing which was that she would hunt down the shark and the Sperm Whale who did this to her children.

"I will show you all what a brainless jellyfish can do".

…

Bam!

The Sperm Whale's enormous tail hit the water with force again, propelling him a few meters down as he continued his deep dive towards the depth of this water region where the volcano lay dormant.

After diving for so many minutes, he finally felt relieved that he was safe as he was no longer being pursued but he continued diving deeper to ensure that neither of the 2 predators could follow him. 

At this moment, he was experiencing a feeling of unmasked joy as his long-time rival finally died. The battle escalated in a way that he didn't plan for, making things a lot more dangerous but all these could be ignored after his rival died.

The fact that he got his rival's magic core only left him feeling all the more joyful. He knew the importance of a magic core, and he knew the effects it could bring if he completed assimilating it.

This was one of the main reasons why he decided to dive even deeper without hesitation despite the dangers involved. 

He wanted to dive to a region too extreme for other predators to dive to, where he could rest, recover, and assimilate the magic core without interruption.

Thinking of the jellyfish only left him shuddering in fear. They were both purple tier predators, but the jellyfish was a few miles ahead which was intimidating in their tier.

The defense skill that he activated at the end was his strongest skill, he felt relieved that it was able to hold the jellyfish at bay.

Right now, his magic power was already exhausted but he still had enough stamina to dive deeper. He wanted to go digest his gains.

"After assimilating it, I'll emerge as a monster!"

…

"Holy Shit! I escaped!"

Sebastian exclaimed as his mana points finally got exhausted, leaving him flying at a floating rock in the water. Tosh and Shanks followed closely behind him as the fishing net magic manifestation holding them already disintegrated.

Bam!

After hitting the rock, leaving a depression on it, Sebastian's momentum finally slowed down to a halt as his eyes started adjusting to his surroundings.

Tosh and Shanks had it worse. They were great white sharks, their torpedo-shaped body was adapted to swim faster but such speeds still felt them disoriented and feeling like puking.

Shanks was too exhausted to speak, he allowed his shark body to hover freely in the water to rest but Tosh was the opposite despite feeling exhausted too.

"Seba bro, what in the name of Oceania did you carry me on? We survived? Does that mean I really made a difference? Damn! Shanks was right, I never thought I can really make a difference".

"Yes, you can make a difference, now shut up!" 

Sebastian flared up, afraid that his brain would explode if he was exposed to a few more minutes of the shark's fearsome blabbering prowess. 

He felt grateful for Tosh's brave action of attacking despite the odds of dying against the mommy jellyfish, but still, listening to the shark blabber was torture that he did not want to experience now.

Immediately after being reprimanded, Tosh's exhaustion finally seemed to kick in as he directly slept after keeping quiet. Shanks did the same, it was a chore to keep himself conscious a second longer.

Only Sebastian was able to keep his consciousness, his stamina was not only greater than the 2 sharks, his magic power and perhaps his Megalodon bloodline added some too.

Despite this, he allowed his body to hover freely in the water as he was too exhausted to make targeted actions. And like he did after every slightly major battle, he started analyzing the previous battle encounter.

The first thing that he thought of was of course the Giant Squid and the Sperm Whale, they were the cause of the whole commotion. 

In his previous world, these 2 predators were enemies akin to a cat and a rat, he already expected things like this but he was still stunned on seeing the same relationship here.

It seems that even with higher intelligence, some things were too embedded in the bloodline of these predators to shake off. 

About the way that they fought, their frightening size, and their magic domain, he already expected to see such outrageous sights as he got more experience about this world.

The next thing that gave him the most impression in the previous battle was of course the freaking mommy jellyfish who was an anomaly on every facet.

The pink magic that he had no idea what it represented was an anomaly, her outrageous size was an anomaly, her frighteningly strong tentacles were an anomaly, and her freaking magic field was the greatest anomaly of all.

After this encounter, he crossed his heart to flee at the first sight of this predator in the future. Perhaps, among the purple tier predators that he already met; she was only slightly weaker than Old Mak which said a lot of her strength.

Also, he discovered a new thing today. He knew of magic domains but he never knew of magic fields before, not even Octumpedam had one.

He didn't know if it was exclusive to jellyfishes, but the encounter of a magic field was not a pleasant one to him. If by chance, Tosh wasn't brave enough to attack, he may have become shark soup already.

The thought alone left him shuddering in fear.

Another fact was that his frequency of encountering purple-tier predators was becoming a little too much. He felt a little scared, how was he supposed to live and enjoy his life as a shark when he met such frightening predators each time?

Despite the trauma and everything, he still felt happy just because of the gains from the battle. Not only did he complete another system insane mission, after this kill, he finally filled up his experience quota for evolution to the next tier.

After settling everything in his mind, he finally decided to do what his brain have been yearning for since which was getting good sleep.

"I feel so so tired".
