Ocean Master

Boom!

The sound was like thunder, deafening and bombastic, and it was the only sound that Tonado heard before he was hit by the extremely bright white streak.

Crack!

A loud cracking sound reverberated through the water before Tonado flew away like a kite without its control ropes. In the trail left behind by him, blood dyed the water a deep red.

This was an ambush!

As the predator who took the lead at the front of the group, Tonado bore the full brunt of this ambush. This extremely hot and swift shot was a charged gunshot that packed tyrannical destructive power.

Tonado didn't explode into a bloody mess immediately only because he was always alert towards any danger. His magic shield was active, and his blisters like adaptation did the real protection though his skin now had a huge crack.

Amid his rapid backward flight, he felt hot like his body was thrown into boiling oil in a giant frypan. The feeling was awful.

In just one move, the strongest predator among the 5 was temporarily taken down and the elite Atlantian soldiers were not ready to stop. Sebastian and his remaining crew were shocked, the soldiers acted again before they reacted.

Thud! Thud!

Loud thudding sounds of heavy boots stamping the metal floor reverberated from the armory as the first group of elite Atlantian soldiers finally showed themselves immediately after the first ambush shot.

Unlike the previous group of Atlantian soldiers whom Sebastian and his group fought with, these guys were prepared for battle.

They were already in their military uniform, a black military uniform with decorative stars around it that made it look like the starry sky.

They had weapons of different types, from cold to hot weapons, with the most eye-catching being the huge weapon mounted in a huge submarine-like vehicle that was being driven by 3 soldiers.

This weapon shot the bullet that injured Tonado in one blow.

From the first shot from the submarine-like vehicle to this moment, only a second had passed. The vehicle just shot a bullet, and now it was recharging for the next shot, but this delay did not mean a halt to the Atlantians' offensive.

The soldiers already had their weapons aimed at their targets even before the vehicle unleashed the first shot; they simply pulled the trigger.

Boom! Boom!

[You have activated skill: Magic Shield.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

Almost at the same time that Sebastian moved, his other crew members moved, using their various means to dodge the volley of gunshots.

Sebastian rapidly dodged to the side with his advanced dash skill while being protected by his magic shield. Despite his speed, 3 bullets still hit but their force was absolved by the magic shield.

As soon as the other bullets passed his position, Sebastian changed his swim direction in the blink of an eye back towards the Atlantian soldiers. Then like a bull, he took advantage of his battering ram skill and charged towards them.

The first shot that injured Tonado revealed one thing to him, these soldiers came prepared with a plan. To counter their plan, the best way was to not let them even execute it in the first place.

His own plan was to disrupt the enemy's plan by his deadly offensive.

While the soldiers adjusted their aims, Sebastian rushed forward as skills were rapidly activated in his mind. The next moment, he roared a word of profanity.

"F*ck you!!!"

[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection!]

Sebastian started his offensive with this.

Instantly, all the Atlantian soldiers grew dizzy from the attack, with blood even coming from some of their noses. They may be elite veteran soldiers, but they were still mostly low-ranked Bronze Realm soldiers.

When they opened their eyes, a giant Megalodon was already in their midst.

[You have activated skill: Crushing Bite.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

Crunch!

An Atlantian soldier lost his head instantly.

With his rampant entry, Sebastian finally found space for his electroreceptors to blast everywhere without restraints. It did not take him long before he scouted the whole armory.

Compared to the sleeping quarters, the armory was much smaller.

This armory was built in the shape of a giant library, with the long column of bookshelves now being giant columns that held various military weapons, both heavy and light, mechanical and electrical, technological and magical.

The space between these columns was already filled up, Atlantian soldiers filled the area, having set up sturdy defense battle formations.

The only saving grace was that these soldiers may be elites, but they were not perfect. Sebastian saw a negligible weak point from one of these groups of elite soldiers and he acted on it immediately.

"Attack this point".

Without a word of complaint, the 3 other predators followed Sebastian as they focused all their attacks at one of the groups of soldiers, ignoring all the others that were spread across the other columns.

Bam! Bam!

The soldiers reacted, shooting rapidly but Sebastian and his crew ignored this negligible damage and charged on with no intention to stop.

The fire domain shark started the offensive, clearing a path open with his super-hot fire. Sebastian acted on it, shooting his magic teeth like a sub-machine gun, while the metal domain shark threw metal spikes rampantly.

As for the shadow domain Python, it followed Sebastian's orders and focused on releasing disorienting shadow skills at the enemies.

An organized enemy was always the most dangerous.

Sebastian's plan on seeing this ambush was to destroy the cohesiveness and organization of these soldiers, and it worked wonders.

As soon as the cohesiveness of the soldiers was disrupted, this originally negligible weak point turned into a glaringly large weak point.

Under Sebastian's leadership, the 4 predators bulldozed their way forward, killing if they could and ignoring if they could not. This way, under the astonished gaze of the elite soldiers, this predator crew continued forging forward.

These soldiers were tasked to stop the predators until their trump card arrived, but to their shock, they couldn't even keep them in one place for a minute.

As for Tonado, Sebastian was not worried about the old toad. If Tonado could be so easily taken down, then they had no hopes of succeeding in the first place.

Boom!

He hadn't finished thinking of the toad when he arrived furiously.

Tonado now suffered a huge crack in his back blisters' adaptation, but the pain only stimulated his fury more. He directed this fury into strength, wreaking havoc as the strain on the Atlantians increased. 

Their escape speed increased exponentially with his return.

Originally, the plan here was for the soldiers to overwhelm the predators with numbers and perfect cohesive cooperation. Unfortunately for them, these predators' decisions somehow countered this plan perfectly.

It was like the predators strangely understood their thought process and pattern which was in itself terrifying.

Left with no choice, all the other elite soldiers started converging towards the single column where Sebastian and his crew escaped.

The battle intensity increased in a constant upward trend as time passed.

The lethal weapons of the Atlantian soldiers started inflicting injuries on the predators, but the predators also started killing them.

The tension in the water increased, intense bloodthirstiness from both sides diffused everywhere, making the atmosphere turn as hard as steel.

Amid this tense atmosphere, another sound invaded this chaotic battlefield.

Woof! Woof!

Tonado's ears twitched on hearing these loud woofs like those from wild dogs that could rip an elephant apart. 

The barking sounds continued unrelentingly, increasing in volume to the extent that Sebastian focused his electroreceptors backward. It took a few more seconds, but those that were responsible for these barking sounds emerged.

These were terrifying metal Hounds with thick skin that glowed with a metallic gleam, and teeth that gleamed like the sharp edge of a dagger.

Their red eyes flickered ominously like those of a horror zombie robot.

Almost as soon that these Hounds appeared, a connection was established in another chamber of the military base, the experimental battle pet quarters. 

A group of soldiers sat in special mechanical chairs in the experimental battle pet quarters with consoles over their heads, and at this moment, after coming online, their vision was exactly what the Hound dogs were seeing.

[Order Received: Attack!]

Back in the armory, the Hound dogs suddenly made this sound of acknowledgment before letting loose and going berserk. The next moment, they pounced towards the predators without fear.

If it was just one, it was manageable but these Hound dogs were more than 50. Their strength was not measured yet, but Sebastian's intuition told him that they faintly had normal orange tier strength.

These were dangerous new variables.

[You have activated skill: Sonic Drill.]

Clank!

Sebastian attacked first but only a loud metallic sound of impact reverberated, then the Hound dog attacked in retaliation. 

Seeing this strange metal dog abomination, he felt familiar danger vibes but he ignored them and focused on surviving first.

While Sebastian's magic shield was still flickering to life, a tyrannically destructive magic presence suddenly emerged inside the main armory.

Through his electroreceptors, Sebastian saw a huge trident that was covered with destructive lightning magic rapidly stabbing towards him.
