Ocean Master

Chapter 7 - Primordial Cave Snake And New Discoveries.

The first thing that Sebastian discovered on entering the tunnel was that it was narrow, far narrower than he estimated seeing it from the outside. This did not stop him though; he continued his smooth glide downwards.

As the water here flowed fast like a rapid, he didn't have to put much effort into swimming, he just let his body glide with it like an eagle sailing the wind.

Like he already observed, despite being so much deep inside the cave now it didn't get darker but instead glowed more. The blueish-green glow of the ocean became more apparent here.

It seems that his glide downwards was destined to be cut short as from his position, he could already see the end of the tunnel. And from what he saw, it was fairly expansive.

Plop!

The rapidly flowing water quickly threw him out into the expanse that was before him, as soon as he arrived the water changed from rapidly flowing to gentle flowing.

The switch was so abrupt that he found it a chore to adapt to it with his new senses, he lamented.

"Stay still, body; stop wobbling!"

It was not easy being a shark, don't let anyone deceive you otherwise.

After bȧrėly stabilizing his body in the water, he finally looked carefully at his surroundings while staying alert.

Inside the cave, down the tunnel was a sight that he did not expect, it looked like a coral reef down here. The only difference was that the colorful corals were glowing, making it an even more beautiful sight.

Down here was a huge expanse of water, far bigger than he expected.

Apart from the corals that lined the floor, illuminating everywhere beautifully, the other notable fact was the sheer size of it. Below the tunnel was far bigger than he expected, he could not see its end.

Seeing the rainbow light shining from the corals into his sharky body, Sebastian felt like he was in heaven. "I wish I can just sleep here, and spend an eternity doing it".

Wom!

He didn't even know how to execute his skills yet, he just focused, and surprisingly it worked.

[You have activated skill: Electroreceptors.]

Perhaps, it was because he didn't pay attention before but seeing this skill in action again left his mouth opened in a big wow, making bubbles rise.

As soon as he activated it, he felt like he activated a radar detector. From his location, he developed a new vision sense by instinct.

His vision became black and white, and like a radar, he saw the electromagnetic waves moving around him and all over the place. His normal eye vision was still there, he felt like he had 2 overlapping vision organs.

"Damn, this is awesome!" Before he could only see his front, but now he could see everything in a meter around him with HD quality view.

He focused again, that was when he saw it, the originator of the shift in the water. Through his black and white electromagnetic vision, he saw the black and white lines converge at a corner to form a long shape.

He could see eyes, 2 glowing red eyes, he could see a long body, and a tongue flicking at the water.

"Another evil snake! That loathsome being!"

He didn't know if it was because of the trauma caused by seeing the Viper feast on its food, or if it was just his inclination or even an instinct developed from his species, but now he just loathed snakes.

"Eat it!"

Furiously flicking his tail fin left and right, he quickly propelled his much larger body at the small snake.

Hiss!

Seeing his swim direction, the snake immediately erupted from its position, curling its body quickly and raising its head as 2 dagger-sharp teeth revealed themselves from its exposed mouth intimidatingly.

Sizzling sounds reverberated as its long disgusting tongue flicked the water continuously, it seemed much more dangerous all of a sudden.

Not deterred by that, Sebastian went for the head.

Crunch!

He bit it viciously on its neck, the snake also retaliated and bit him on the side of his body but the pain was negligible compared to what he felt.

Reflexively, as soon as his teeth dug into the snake's neck, he shook his body left and right, allowing his sharp teeth to saw and tear the poor snake to shreds.

With another crunching sound following it, the snake was bit in 2. Its body twitched and trashed on the water for a few seconds after being separated before it finally went limp.

[You have activated skill: Bite.]

[You have bitten your opponent on the neck, you have dealt -4 damage. -3 additional damage due to teeth shredding technique.]

[You have been bitten by a Young primordial cave snake; you have received -1 damage. You have been poisoned, eat opponent's meat to recover.]

[You have killed a Young primordial cave snake- Level 5.]

[You have gained 1 Skill point, and 1 Adaptation point.]

[You have gained Experience points.]

[You have gained an additional 1 Adaptation point for killing a prey of new species. You have unlocked the basic profile of the Primordial cave snake bloodline.]

Not willing to wait, Sebastian ignored everything around him and quickly dug into the delicious body of the snake. Perhaps it was because of his species, but he already developed a liking to eating prey.

Though he didn't level up again, he didn't feel sad. It was reasonable as compared to the mighty Tuna that he killed that could even use magic, this snake was just a baby.

This brought him another question, why did the tiger shark not use magic against him when it hunted him?

Was it contempt?

He was not sure as even when the Viper swallowed it, it didn't release any magic. Maybe it was too caught off-guard by the Viper to use it, he just didn't know.

Putting that aside, he placed his attention on his discoveries.

His battle with the snake just now was easy but he was surprised to notice something about his skills. According to his skill tab, he had a lot of skills but since he was reborn here, he's only activated 2 of them- bite and tail fin attack.

He remembered when he attacked with his tail, it was probably because of his desperation then but he swore that his tail became sharp which was perplexing as it was only meant for swimming originally.

What of the swim, dash, and the other skills, why couldn't he activate them? Or maybe, that was phrased wrongly, but why hasn't he used them yet?

His eyes widened in realization; he tried an experiment.

[You have activated skill: Tail fin.]

The tail stiffened before becoming sharp all of a sudden, Sebastian swore that he saw the surrounding water boil a bit like his tail became hot.

Excited by the prospect, he tried the other skills.

[You have activated skill: Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Dash.]

The only problem was that after activating them consecutively for some time, he felt mentally drained. He guessed that something was drained from him everything he activated a skill.

Maybe stamina points or something, but it was not shown in the system. Despite this defect on the Santa Claus system's part, he was happy about his new discovery.

He was slowly on his way to Sebastian Shark domination.

"But wait, does that mean I swim so terribly because I didn't activate the swim skill before?"

"Dafuq man!"
