Ocean Master
Chapter 69 - Battle Against The Strange Hound Lady.

Sebastian kept quiet shortly after blurting out a clarification question as he observed this delicate female head. A lot of things went through his mind, but he forced down his panic and observed.

At this moment, he could only give all credits to the numerous horror movies that he watched in his previous life which hardened his nerves against such things.

Despite the lady's skin still being filled with vitality and freshness, her eyes were dull, blurry, and lifeless like she was possessed. And as she spoke, her teeth were revealed, they were stained with blood and flesh.

"Why did you disturb my sleep?" She asked again.

"…"

Perhaps, irritated by the silence, her face became warped as a pair of sharp teeth immediately grew from her originally still human teeth.

"WHY DID YOU DISTURB MY SLEEP?"

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

Sebastian obeyed his laws immediately, decisively turning to escape when the situation revealed any danger.

The tunnel was too small for him to turn his body fast enough, so he didn't even pay attention to it. All he did was use the original essence of the skill, which was reverse swimming.

Sensing his retreat, the female head revealed even more anger, successfully transferring the anger to the originally silent hound heads as they roared in anger.

Whoosh!

The hound lady abomination moved so fast that it seemed like it teleported. In a moment, she appeared above Sebastian as she opened her mouth and screamed the question again.

"WHY DID YOU DISTURB MY SLEEP?"

[You have activated skill: Sonic Reflection.]

The female head immediately revealed a warped expression of pain as her scream dealt counter damage to her, but as Sebastian tried to escape even faster, one of the hound heads bit down at him.

Crunch!

[You have triggered Adaptation: Damage Reflection Skin Coating.]

[You have reflected 15% of the damage dealt to you.]

[You have activated skill: Shredding Bite.]

As the hound head suffered from the reflected damage, Sebastian bit down on it in retaliation, removing a sizeable amount of flesh from it.

The other hound's head bit down also but Sebastian blocked it with his Magic Shield as he took this opportunity to dash further towards the exit.

In a second, he was already close to the exit but the female head finally recovered from the sonic reflection damage.

Looking at the vile being that disturbed her sleep, her originally dull and unfocused eyes gleamed sharply as the walls of the catacombs shook.

Suddenly, the walls of the catacombs closer to where Sebastian was escaping squirmed before rapidly forming what seemed like a spear. The spear rapidly shot out the next moment.

Sebastian quickly activated his Magic Shield again but he was not fast enough. The shield only blocked it slightly before the spear penetrated all the way through, digging deep into his skin.

He only managed to save his eyes from direct damage as the spear appeared directly before him from the front.

[You have been hit by a skill: Earth Spear.]

[You have been tainted with the undead magic domain: You will lose -4 HP until you leave the vicinity of the magic domain.]

As soon as Sebastian saw these notifications, he noticed the walls, even the skeletons forming the walls at the other side squirming to form other sharp-pointed weapons to attack him.

Protected by his magic shield, he originally wanted to ignore this and continue his escape but the hound lady arrived before him with her almost instantaneous movement skill again.

The female head opened her mouth, revealing her sharp teeth as she viciously bit down on his skin.

[You have been attacked by a skill: Tainted Bite.]

[You have been inflicted with the Abomination Absolute Death specialty, you will suffer from the absolute death poison and vampire effects.]

[You will continue losing health randomly ranging from 5 to 15 HP from both effects until you either die or kill your opponent.]

Seeing this, Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he changed his strategy immediately. He instantly stopped his escape and retaliated.

[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone.]

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Flaming Sword.]

As the water cyclone stirred by the sound magic domain pushed it around, the hound suddenly felt its danger premonition spike. It instinctively dodged but the flaming sword still cut one of its hound heads.

It screamed in pain, and once again Sebastian attacked its main female head with his sonic reflection skill. In its dazed state, he arrived at its side and bit down hard.

Crunch!

[You have activated Vampire Teeth Adaptation's active skill: Blood Vampire.]

[You have failed to activate the Blood Vampire state.]

[You have activated Vampire Teeth Adaptation's active skill: Blood Vampire.]

[You have failed…]

As Sebastian repeatedly activated the Blood Vampire effect while being met with failure, his electroreceptor skill warned him of other opponents.

Quickly tracing the white and black lines to outline the new opponents, he almost coughed blood as dozens of the same hound lady battling with him started appearing from the different interconnected tunnels.

He was alarmed but he did not dare leave as his life and death was now attributed to if he could kill the strange hound lady who bit him.

While still attempting to activate the Blood Vampire effects of his teeth adaptation, he controlled the Flaming Sword magic manifestation and repeatedly cut at the strange hound.

As soon as its main head regained lucidity, it tried to struggle but Sebastian shot a sonic drill through its main head while still biting at it.

When its reinforcement was already close and almost within reach, the Blood Vampire effect finally activated.

[You have successfully activated the Blood Vampire state.]

Crunch!

Sebastian's teeth effortlessly tore through its thick hound skin, spreading the black blood that spurted out of the injury into the surroundings of the catacombs.

[You have created a magic manifestation: War Hammer!]

Boom! Boom!

He first slammed the magic war hammer down on the hound's main head, crushing the delicate female head to mangled flesh.

[You have killed…]

Without even waiting for the notification to be completed, he controlled the hammer to directly strike a hole open through the ceiling of the catacombs.

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

Boom!

He moved before the closest hound lady reinforcement could bite into him, tearing a hole through the remaining parts of the ceiling as he escaped at supersonic speeds.

In seconds, he tore his way out of the catacombs into the outside expanse.
