The toad was shocked, extremely shocked.


    The battle performance disyed by Sebastian and his team members already left him feeling shocked secretly, but the feeling that he felt from Sebastian the next moment was what left him really shocked.


    As a toad with a bloodline that was not too up there in the food chain, he learned to battle and to survive with wits and intelligence.


    Through all his numerous near-death experiences, he developed a keen intuition towards danger. And for the first time in a while, he felt a feeling of extreme danger as soon as Sebastian activated his unique skill.


    He didn''t know what the shark was up to, but his survival instincts told him to run now and ask questionster.


    The water made loud whooshing sounds as his deadly tongue adaptation shot out with speed, rotating and forming what seemed like a bubble cage with him at the center which prevented the sharks from attacking him.


    Immediately after doing this, his powerful legs hit the water again which replicated the effect of having hit something tangibly strong as he propelled himself above the sharks and out of the battlefield.


    To his surprise though, Sebastian didn''t attack.


    Sebastian didn''t attack because his system-manipted bad luck just did it again, attracting another predator.


    The six-legged toad could not see it immediately as he didn''t have a skill like electroreceptors, but Sebastian and the other sharks did.


    He forcibly disintegrated the magic manifestation that just formed mid-water to focus on this new enemy.


    At this moment, a 2 meters small fish that looked like a Tpia was rapidly swimming towards the sharks'' position where the battlefield was.


    If it was any other fish, the sharks would not have paid attention to it but this fish was peculiar, dangerously peculiar.


    This fish had white scales all over its body that glimmered and sparkled like the body of a diamond. It had no eyes, in ce of its eyes were what seemed like 2 sparkly white diamonds that sparkled more than the others.


    These features were eye-catching but they were not its most ring specialty, its most ring feature was the magic power level being emitted by it.


    This small 2-meter-long fish was a purple tier powerhouse.


    "What the heck?!"


    Verni imitated his big bro andined using this tone. He was already injured but he ignored it, solemnly preparing for another bloody battle.


    While he prepared, he could not help but think. "Since I knew and met big bro Sebastian, why does it seem that my luck hit rock bottom?"


    While the sharks prepared in silence, and the toad finally turned to see who the new opponent was, Sebastian, observed with a frown.


    For some reason, he felt that something was wrong.


    [You have actively manipted your electroreceptors.]


    Actively manipting this skill, Sebastian was able to gather its focus in one specific direction, which was behind the 2-meter-long fish and he was not wrong, he found something.


    Perhaps, the other sharks, not even the toad could notice a detail so tiny but Sebastian did. The more time he spent in this world, the more perfect he got at detecting the tiny little details from other predators'' expressions.


    The problem with this fish was that, unlike other purple tier predators, it didn''t have that arrogance of superiority on seeing them.


    And at this moment, the expression on its face told Sebastian that this fish was noting with the intention to kill and eat them. The expression on its face was more like it was anxiously escaping from an enemy.


    This was why Sebastian narrowed his electroreceptors behind the enemy, and guess what, he was right, there was another enemy.


    While feeling an urge to curse in rm, he forcibly calmed himself down and focused more behind the rapidly swimming fish. This was when he saw an almost invisible illusory blob of ck gas going after the fish.


    This illusory blob of ck gas''s form looked simr to the soul fragment of Octumpedam, the Devouring Octopus that Sebastian killed which immediately left a deep impression on him.


    This ck gas moved in such a subtle and experienced manner that barely any ripple was left by it in the water, and the most ring fact about this was that it escaped the normal setting detection of Sebastian''s electroreceptors.


    If the fish gave Sebastian neutral vibes, and the toad gave him danger vibes, this illusory blob of ck gas gave him extreme danger vibes.


    "All-out Defense Formation!"


    While shouting this, Sebastian attacked with a roar.


    "YOUR FATHER!!!"


    [You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection.]


    Havingpared this ck gas''s form to that of Octumpedam''s illusory soul form, Sebastian instantly decided to attack with his magic domain and he was not disappointed, it worked.


    With his ingenious control, the sound roared out by him at the ck gas waspressed together before shooting out as an extremely loud sound st.


    Bam!


    After impact, the illusory blob of ck gas shook disorderly. This was when the other sharks detected it, including the old toad.


    The blob of ck gas swirled crazily at the water after being hit before calming down the next moment, but its forward momentum to pursue the sparkling diamond fish already slowed to a crawl.


    It no longer pursued; it instead directly revealed its true form. While this happened, from afar, the toad activated a skill as its orange-red eyes glowed brightly, increasing its sight and allowing it to see everything.


    When the true form of the ck gas was revealed, Sebastian, the other sharks, and even the toad itself froze in shock. The shock of the old toad was because it recognized this bastard.


    This ck gas''s true form was a 7-meter long Praying Mantis!


    This enormous Praying Mantis, unlike themonly seen back on earth, had a purely ck body. Its hugepound eyes eerily stared at the sharks, the toad, and the escaping fish, amid illusory whisps of ck mes revolving around its body.


    These whisps of ck mes were magic power, this Praying Mantis was a shadow domain magician, a terrifying purple tier powerhouse.


    Seeing the reaction of the toad, Sebastian knew all that he needed. He got prepared to give his all, fight, and protect his team members, but the further reaction from the 2 predators gave him other ideas.


    "Old Toad, to think that you are still alive. And you actually came from your hole, what gave you the guts?"


    "Today, I''m feeling benevolent, I''ll let you live, go back to your cave and leave this puny prey to me before I count to 5".


    The old toad snorted on hearing that, immediately knowing that this old enemy was up to something. Then he remembered something, the fish that the Praying Mantis was going after.


    He still hasn''t seen the fish clearly since he focused on the ck gas after activating his keen sight skill.


    It was at this moment that he turned to see the rapidly escaping fish, and his eyes almost exploded on the sight from shock and excitement.


    "This…, this… Holy!"


    The toad''s intense almost fire-inducing gaze on this fish immediately revealed a lot to Sebastian. As he observed, he noticed the toad''s eyes showing shock, excitement, disbelief, and most dominantly greed! Immense greed!


    Boom!


    Seeing that the old toad already recognized the fish, the Praying Mantis explode forth with speed, chasing after the sparkling fish again.


    "Stand Down! Sexual Cannibalism Freak!"


    The old toad roared as his powerful legs hit the water with force, rapidly spreading ripples across as it also propelled himself forward with a powerful jump.


    Boom!
