Ocean Master

Chapter 126 - Stinging Jellyfish!



Seeing the huge predator with an umbrella-shaped bell and numerous tentacles trailing behind it, Sebastian easily identified it as a jellyfish.

The only problem was that this pink jellyfish, like all other predators in Oceania, towered at an unbelievable size of 7 meters which was completely outrageous compared to what Sebastian knew of jellyfishes.

And at this moment, this huge jellyfish predator was rushing towards Sebastian and his team members. The umbrella-shaped bell of the jellyfish pulsated in a frenzied manner, propelling its body towards the 3 sharks.

Seeing it, Tosh and Shanks immediately prepared for battle but Sebastian didn\'t move yet as he felt something strange.

For some reason, he felt that this jellyfish was not going after them but was actually running away from something. Completely trusting his instincts, he swept the area with his electroreceptors but found no other predator within its range.

Sebastian felt even weirder having detected nothing, but this didn\'t make him react any slower as he was not about to let this predator escape.

"Attack!"

Almost immediately after Sebastian worded the command, Tosh reacted, eager to impress. This enormous shark rushed towards the jellyfish with his body suddenly glowing a bright white color.

As he rushed towards the jellyfish, the white color in his body separated to form what seemed like a fist made out of pure light magic in the water.

Tosh didn\'t release the magic fist made out of light magic immediately, he held it, pumping more magic power into it as he rushed towards the jellyfish.

Instantly after the fist made of light magic appeared, the jellyfish reacted as it finally detected the threat before it. Its tiny weird eyes already saw the signs but due to the distance, it originally couldn\'t pinpoint that these were sharks.

And at this moment, it was already too late to retreat. 

It made its choice without much hesitation; not that it had a brain to think about choices which made things a lot easier. It flared its tentacles wildly as it charged boldly towards the 3 sharks before it.

Tro! Lo! Lo! Lo! Lo!

Its sudden rapid acceleration through the water pushed the water with force, inducing weird sounds like a group of alien apes making random noises.

As it moved towards Tosh, pinkish-white magic energy suddenly started revolving around its tentacles, granting them energy and finetuning them to look like whips of death.

Tosh didn\'t back down; he opened his teeth wide and accelerated even faster as he pumped more magic power into the fist made of light magic before him.

At the last few seconds before impact, Shanks acted from afar. The water suddenly squeezed and moved after coming under the smaller shark\'s influence, pushing the jellyfish to the side and disorienting it slightly in the process.

As soon as this happened, Tosh attacked and released the magic fist.

Boom! 

The fist accelerated through the water with such speed that the first impact tore a huge hole through the jellyfish\'s umbrella-shaped bell, inducing a loud sound that reverberated through the water.

[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection!]

Immediately as the jellyfish suffered the first attack, Sebastian added salt to the injury, taking advantage of the sound induced by the first attack impact as all the sounds generated were reflected towards the jellyfish.

[You have dealt staggering damage to your opponent.]

The poor jellyfish jerked as milkfish-white blood poured out of its bell. The 2 attacks stacked and combined by the 3 sharks dealt so much damage to it that it was left hovering at the point of death.

Hovering at the point of death was a different thing though, it didn\'t mean death and this brainless jellyfish was about to prove that. It reacted like a zombie.

Before Tosh could react, the severely injured jellyfish suddenly picked itself up and pointed its tentacles. The pink magic power wrapped them up again, turning them sharp like daggers, then they shot out with speed.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

About a dozen tentacles shot out, penetrating the unprotected body of the shark as Tosh roared in pain before protecting his body with his magic shield.

Even as it lost tentacles, powered by its pink magic power, the jellyfish grew them back at a speed visible to the eyes which gave Sebastian vibes of his magic teeth skill.

Sebastian quickly put this to the back of his mind though. Seeing Tosh injured and bleeding, he finally knew that he needed to act.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

[You have activated skill: Sonic Drill- {×3}.]

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The jellyfish\'s movements were hindered again as it jerked after being hit by 3 consecutive magic drills propelled by sound magic. Before it could recover from all the damage, the biggest shark appeared before it and collided against it.

[You have activated skill: Crushing Bite.]

Crunch!

Sebastian collided against the jellyfish while biting down with force and speed, tearing into the gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell of the jellyfish in a deadly and completely unrestrained manner.

As soon as his teeth dug in, the jellyfish struggled fiercely as the milkfish-white blood flowed even faster from its body while it retaliated with its tentacles.

[You have been hit by a skill: Stinging Tentacles.]

[You have been hit by a skill: Slimy Wrap.]

Sebastian felt a tingling and stinging sensation overwhelm his senses as the jellyfish retaliated with its tentacles. At the same time, the tentacles tried wrapping around his body as they exerted terrible force on his body.

Despite the small bits of damage that the jellyfish dealt to him, Sebastian did not let up as he kept on clamping his teeth down at the jellyfish.

Crunch!

He bit 2 more times before the enormous jellyfish finally went limb.

[You have killed a Stinging Jellyfish- Level 14: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 7 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

"Phew! What a fierce fellow!" As Sebastian sighed exaggeratedly, he already took the lead as he went closer to feast on the meat left by the jellyfish. 

Shanks and Tosh did not stand on ceremony either, they went closer to join the feast but immediately after Sebastian took the first bite, his electroreceptors detected newcomers again.

As soon as he turned to look, Sebastian saw a scene that made his heart freeze as the loud repeating sounds finally arrived at their location.

Tro! Lo! Lo! Lo!

Tro! Lo! Lo! Lo!

Tro! Lo! Lo! Lo!

A battalion of the same species of pink jellyfish consisting of tons of them swam through the water, their umbrella-shaped bells pulsating rapidly as their swimming spread loud sounds through the water.

When Tosh and Shanks raised their heads to see what was bringing the commotion, they were also spooked as Sebastian finally reacted.

"Run…, no Swim!"
