Ocean Master
Chapter 98 - Mana Saturation!

Seeing the new purple tier powerhouse that suddenly emerged into the battlefield, Octumpedam was startled and even more enraged. Without hesitation, a portion of his tentacles lashed at the Great White Shark.

Old Mak instantly detected the 2 other purple tier powerhouses on the battlefield after arriving. As a purple tier Great White, his electroreceptors were far more formidable than Sebastian's.

He didn't need to communicate with the 2 purple tier powerhouses, they understood their current situation and knew exactly what to do.

For him, he also knew what to do and he already started doing it.

Old Mak's glowing deep red eyes suddenly recessed while flickering as it turned a silvery blue color the next moment. At the same time that his eyes turned, his magic power descended.

Bzzz!

Silvery blue streaks of thunder suddenly descended, and with lightning power accompanying them, they coiled around the enormous Great White Shark like his obedient students.

Amid this thunderstorm surrounding his body, Old Mak first formed a magic shield with his basic magic power to safeguard his family members, then he finally smashed his way forward towards the Octopus's body.

As soon as he moved, the Lizard Lord and the Mystery Pryer Crocodile who were now emboldened for battle again rushed after him, their destination being the main body of the Octopus.

Seeing this sight, Octumpedam retrieved all his 30+ tentacles and focused them on the 3 powerhouses especially Old Mak, then the battle began.

Boom! Boom!

Thunder, lightning, and fire magic raged fiercely, impacting the Octopus's body as both Old Mak and the Lizard Lord got close enough to the Octopus to start dealing real damage.

With the focus no longer being on her, the Mystery Pryer Crocodile finally had the avenue to display her full power. She unleashed her omnipresent magic with her remaining mana with thunderous power.

Old Mak led the charge, then the both of them supported behind him. Not only the both of them, all the other sea creatures on the battlefield attacked.

Dozens of them already died to this Octopus, and now that the survivors finally had the chance to counter-attack, though their powers were still suppressed by the opponent's aura, they gave their all.

Once again, Octumpedam started bleeding while receiving damage even though he also retaliated with force.

The force induced by the increased intensity of the battle already started making the center of the Crocodile kingdom crack. Lava was now spilling out from the exposed rocks, these were manifestations of how fierce the battle was.

There was no longer a clear winner, the victor of the battle was now up in the air and both sides were ready to strive for it with their all.

…

[You are currently in a location filled with high-tier berserk mana.]

[Mana Source: Devouring Octopus.]

[Your Mana recovery speed has increased by 20 times: You are currently recovering 20 MP each second.]

[Warning! Wisps of high-grade human magic have been detected!]

Seeing these series of notifications, Sebastian was shocked as a lot of speculations went through his mind. Through his electroreceptors, he could still see the ongoing battle which made him anxious to think faster.

During the battle, he already noticed some strange facts about the Octopus. It was so strong that if it moved its main body from its static location, he had no doubts that they would have all been dead by now.

Before he went to try his Blood Vampire skill on the Octopus, he remembered his rules and he formed a contingency plan which was to escape here.

It was to seek temporary refuge against the Octopus, and also to crack the mystery about why the Octopus was always stuck in one place. And he was right, coming down here what he saw proved it.

Under where the Octopus was stuck was a huge deep abyss-like hole. Inside it was not dark as expected, it instead glowed in a faint white and red color.

Connected to the Octopus was a chain, a chain formed from a rainbow-colored magic power. This chain tightly held the Octopus, keeping it in one place.

When he saw this, Sebastian already had guesses but the system's notification clarified him. This Octopus apparently fought with a human powerhouse, and the result was it being chained here.

From his rapidly recovering mana points, he guessed that not just the physical body of the Octopus was chained. He guessed that its magic power and life force were also restricted here.

It seemed nonsensical, but through the knowledge that he already had about this world, he guessed that the white light in this hole was the Octopus's dissipating life force while the red color was its dissipating magic power.

Coming to all these realizations, he shuddered in fear. "Despite being suppressed in all these areas, it is still this powerful. F*ck! How powerful is this Octumpedam really?"

Through this, Sebastian knew more about the power of humans in this world. He felt a curiosity burning in his heart to explore underground, but the current plight of the Octopus burned every such enthusiasm in his heart.

[Ding! MP has been restored: 560/560.]

[You are currently in a mana-saturated state: You are no longer suppressed by the condensed aura of your opponent, rather, your magic power and magic skills will experience a 10% increase in power in this region.]

[You are currently in a mana-full state: Your mana points will not decrease no matter how many magic skills you use in this region.]

As Sebastian looked at the latest system notification in a daze, another booming sound of battle reverberated, drawing him back to the present.

His electroreceptors focused, allowing him to see the ongoing battle. As he looked, the system notification kept on flashing through his mind as hope started blooming in his heart again.

He didn't care how this place came about, all he knew was that it was helpful to him and through it, he could finally unleash his unique skill without restraints for the first time since he got it.

For the clause that if he left this region he may leave the mana-saturated state, he didn't give a damn because he didn't need to leave in the first place.

After using his unique skill for so long, he knew that its range could reach the main body of the Octopus conveniently without problems. 

When he turned back to look at the Octopus, his eyes gleamed in a fearsome manner. "Octumpedam, today, you die to the Crazy Dissector".

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
