Chapter 36 - City Of Eels.
Crunch!
[You have killed a grey Electric Fish- Level 9: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained…]
[You have killed a Wolf Eel- Level 11: You have gained Experience.]
[You have gained…]
Sebastian's mouth was stained with blood again as he ripped the flesh of his new prey apart. Shaking his body, he tore through the magic hardened skin of the Wolf Eel before feasting on the meat.
Though he already knew about the electric fish and wolf eel in his previous life, he still went through the basic profile information of the system to confirm if the system was as correct as it claimed.
Electric fish are not exactly eels, the scientific and magical classification of electric fish was closer to the carp and catfish.
For the Wolf Eel, it was not an eel either. It was just a weird sea fish with a head like that of an ugly wolf, and the body of an eel. The perfect description for it was just plain creepy and weird.
Sebastian's journey down the abyssal plain has been fairly sweet and smooth all along. In just a few minutes, he met 2 other grey eels that were asleep in front of other tunnels, and without hesitation, he practiced his skills on them.
For the grey electric fish, it was also asleep and he easily killed it.
But during the process, due to the slight commotion induced from their battle, the Wolf eel that was sleeping nearby was aroused and the brainless fellow mindlessly charged into the battle.
Of course, Sebastian easily killed it too, the only problem was that he had no choice but to resort to his teeth to finish it off as the Wolf eel had ridiculously slippery and hard skin.
And unfortunately for him, neither of these kills could make his skills level up nor did his overall body level up.
After repeated encounters with most of the sea creatures in this world, he already deduced that only a tiny number of them which were the highly evolved ones had intelligence and could speak fluently to him.
Most of the time, some of the ones he met just yelled brainlessly before charging into battle. Seriously, he felt like these fellows' unintelligence was indirectly frying his brain.
He guessed that to meet really intelligent creatures like Leroy, he had to meet those creatures with a high-tier bloodline like his, most especially sharks.
As he speculated, he quickly finished the meat of the Wolf Eel before continuing his predatory feast swim down the slope.
He suddenly remembered something. "Wait, I've not brushed my teeth for days? Gah!"
He felt like vomiting now, but he soon remembered that brushing his teeth was the least of his problems. For days now, he's been eating raw meat with blood so what harm could going without brushing do?
Consoling himself with that, he continued his swim sulkily.
Another thing that he's been neglecting after his evolution because of time was the main system store. During his evolution, he unlocked both the evolution and the main system store.
The main system store was just like its evolution counterpart, the only difference was that through it he had the option of using his skill and adaptation points to buy skills and adaptations outside the time he was evolving.
For skills, he could buy and get access to them immediately but for adaptations, they would only appear after he evolved.
And he noticed something after repeatedly checking the store. He noticed that the more his skill points and adaptation points increased, the more option for skills and adaptations appeared.
And the newly unlocked ones were far more attractive and expensive too.
He would have bought one already, but he decided that he didn't need them yet. When he really saw the need, he would buy anyone that caught his attention without hesitation.
And he noticed something also that made him feel like facepalming. As a great white shark, he was always in motion as his swimming was not controlled by his brain but rather his spinal cord.
The few times that he stopped to stalk prey; he could only attribute it to the uniqueness of this world as Oceania was powered by magic Afterall.
His train of thought suddenly pulled to a halt, he focused on his mind as his electroreceptor skill showed him something that he's been hoping for since.
"Finally! An exit from this long slope".
Excitedly but cautiously, he immediately started swimming in the direction that his advanced electroreceptor skill pointed out to him.
It didn't take him long before he found the opening leading to a vast world below the slope. The first thing that revealed itself before him was white light reflecting a vast new world, then the familiar scene of nature weed.
Even more excited now on this sight, Sebastian went closer. He didn't go there immediately; with his electroreceptor skill, he didn't have to take such a risk.
When he concentrated the skill at that point, he discovered about 8 eels of different colors swimming about leisurely. Seeing this again, he could not help but have a weird expression on his face.
"Is this abyssal plain exclusively owned by eels?"
As he didn't find any danger immediately, he emboldened himself and moved closer. Getting there, he finally peeked and through his sharp eyesight, everything presented itself before him.
"Holy uncle of all anatomists!"
Sebastian had his jaws hanging open in shock due to the scene that was before him. The green glow of the ocean was still dark here indicating night, but it was still brighter than inside the slope.
The scene before Sebastian was so shocking that he didn't know which exclamation was right to express it anymore.
Besides the 8 eels that were swimming leisurely stood a small rock which seemed like the landmark, and beyond the rock was a city of eels that the sight alone left him feeling dizzy.
Eels of different types, different colors, filled his sight that this city seemed as beautiful as a rainbow city. He was mesmerized completely.
From the cute eels, he suddenly started noticing a different sight of eels entirely that left him uncomfortable.
Eels as long as 10 meters with fins as sharp as butcher knives started appearing in his sight, they projected an aura of majesty and tyranny that made him shudder in fear.
Then one of the eels turned to look at him. With one look, Sebastian identified it.
"The shameless Blueray eel fellow".
[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]
[You have activated skill: Dash.]
Without hesitation, Sebastian directly started swimming in reverse to escape. He had no intentions of staying here one second further, but what happened next shocked him.
He didn't know when it happened, but something like a teleportation portal suddenly appeared behind him. By the time that he noticed it, his tail already entered the portal.
Horrified now, he struggled with all his might to break free but it was all to no avail.
His face suddenly contorted in pain as electric currents flowed through his body from his tail, then he fell inside the portal as soon as his body lost the resistance force.
Warp!
He disappeared.
