Chapter 58 - Illusion Realm; Battle Against The Fire-Breathing Dragon.
Blink!
Sebastian simulated the sound of blinking eyes in his head again as his eyes finally regained focus. His calm eyes surveyed the surrounding, he was now in a blank world of water with no one else but himself.
It was still the fiery red background of the water body around the extremely large ocean volcano, the only difference was that he was the only one here.
And like before, he was now existing like a phantom, making him look like a spirit creature from the spirit world if it existed.
As he already experienced it before, he was calm as he waited for subsequent developments.
The green color of the surrounding water body suddenly dominated the red background caused by the volcano, then it spiked and everything changed.
He appeared inside the familiar bustling city of great white sharks again. Despite not knowing how he was able to recognize it, once again, his intuition told him that this was his home.
More knowledgeable about Oceania now, he was able to make a lot more discoveries by observing his surroundings.
From the green light dominating the surrounding, he confirmed that this city was indeed inside the Green Mist region of Oceania. This confirmation made him heave a sigh of relief.
As he looked at the countless great white sharks moving about in this city, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that his vision was not as hazy as the last time that he came.
"Does this mean that I\'ll get a better vision in subsequent entries?" He randomly made a guess.
Through his better vision, he was able to infer more about his surroundings. At one glance, he started faintly noticing the different adaptations that the great white sharks developed.
Some of them were random and illogical, but the fact that they were able to survive and locate their home safely meant that they were powerhouses.
"Why are they mandated to stay together? Is there a war among sea creatures of different species that I don\'t know about?" He made another guessing thought.
Through his better vision, he also observed more about the technological details of the city.
Though he found it illogical that sharks could harness the wonders of technology, he didn\'t let his earth reasoning impede how welcome he was to surprises. He already saw too many of them.
Through the little that he observed, he guessed that most of the technological developments in the city were obtained from elsewhere, and were probably not created by the sharks.
That made him heave a sigh of relief a bit.
This time, he spent 10 minutes here before the scene was flipped over. Then, he saw the familiar formidable great white shark that was the alpha of this city, his father.
This time, he didn\'t see much here. The scene only stayed for a few seconds before he experienced the familiar condition like the things before him were being fast-forwarded.
Warp!
In a moment, it stopped at a scene, the scene of the enormous great white Shark\'s battle with the fire-breathing Dragon.
Boom!
Though the sight was still blurry and not exactly clear, Sebastian still shuddered in fear when the enormous great white Shark and the Dragon clashed.
Both parties roared angrily at each other after being repelled. Then they rapidly swam at each other again, both opening their enormous maws to reveal rows of teeth as long as swords as they bit down viciously at each other.
Though Sebastian could not see much, he got some information from this.
The first move from the Shark and the Dragon was the familiar Battering Ram skill that he was familiar with.
"Wait, is this like a reference for me to follow for my evolutions".
He was shocked after coming to this discovery, then he felt elated. Immediately, he eliminated all distractions as he focused all his attention on getting as many details as he could from the battle.
Without paying attention to him, both predators continued battling.
Apart from its regular fire breath, it became evident that the Dragon also had fire magic as it attacked with fire from different angles.
For the great White Shark, Sebastian was not able to get the exact detail. All that he knew was that the magic power formed brown magic lines in the water, but this was not enough reference for him.
The battle continued for hours; the surrounding water practically turned to an area affected by an apocalypse as the 2 apex predators ducked it out.
In the battle, the enormous great white shark revealed a lot of skills but Sebastian was only able to see a few clearly. And in these few, he could only vaguely understand the use of 2.
He felt depressed but he still didn\'t remove his attention from the battle that kept on increasing in intensity.
After what seemed like days, the battle finally started waning.
At this point, both predators already suffered staggering damage, but their flesh was squirming slightly as it slowly healed itself.
"A Recovery skill". Sebastian identified another important skill.
After battling for so long, it was clear that their magic power and stamina were already more or less depleted.
Both predators hovered in the water, their eyes filled with hate for the other\'s guts. They kept on roaring intimidatingly at each other.
As they did this, the Shark activated another skill as it suddenly seemed to have ballooned in size, making it seem more intimidating to its opponent.
They did this for a few minutes before the huge Dragon slowly retreated in defeat. The great white Shark did not pursue, its eyes only glinted slightly.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
Sebastian turned his head and saw the city of sharks behind the Shark alpha. He immediately came to a conclusion on seeing this.
The Dragon attacked the city, and the alpha came out to defend it. So now, they were strangely roaring in victory.
As he came to this thought, the world before him suddenly cracked and shattered just like a mirror.
[Host has experienced the illusion realm: The battle encounter history of the alpha shark has been told; you have to forge your own path now.]
[Evolution will start in 10 seconds.]
[You will be given a lot of options; choose wisely.]
Seeing this, Sebastian relaxed as he let the portal that suddenly appeared to suck him in. In this encounter, he was able to identify some skills and adaptations, which perfectly justified the time that he spent here.
He felt anticipation already.
