Snakes were cunning back on earth, but even more, cunning in Oceania.

For a moment, Sebastian could not help but think if the person who made the quote about the cunning snake also once stayed in Oceania. This was because, at this moment, the Cobra's terrifying skill exhibited too much cunningness.

Though Sebastian was sure that the Devouring Cobra's mana points were currently draining at the speed of a running tap, it was also frighteningly effective.

With this skill alone, the Devouring Cobra firmly held the upper hand.

When he was still a Great White, Sebastian once encountered a Devouring Cobra but compared to this fellow, that fella was indeed a teenage Cobra.

The Cobra singlehandedly suppressed the old toad and the terrifying Praying Mantis despite them all being at the same tier, showing the difference in the quality of bloodlines, and the cunning of a snake.

While doing this, the Cobra also kept on chipping at the fish's life.

Yes, the fish, this was the problem, Sebastian already detected something strange from this. Since the fish and the Praying Mantis first appeared on the battlefield, over 2 dozen minutes already passed which was a lot of time.

In this time, despite all the damage already dealt by the 3 of them to the fish and despite the terrifying poison of the Cobra that was currently flowing through its veins, this strange white sparkling fish remained living.

From this, Sebastian changed his evaluation of this fish. Originally, all that he observed was that this fish had fast speed, sparkling white skin, and high value to make purple tier predators so frenzied about it.

He also originally observed that the fish had no offensive prowess, and its defensive ability was far below sea level, not up to par at all.

Now he deduced something new. This fish may be low on all the points already mentioned, but it had frightening vitality, almost bordering on the point of being impossible.

Sebastian was 100% sure that if he was the one on the receiving end of so many attacks, he would have already died twice and over.

From this, he guessed that this was what gave the fish such a high-value evaluation from the purple tier predators.

Though from the look on the fish's face, it was already close to death's door, Sebastian guessed that it could still take some hits before dying.

While Sebastian made all these deductions, the battle that was being dominated by the Devouring Cobra continued raging on.

The Praying Mantis already lost another hand to the Devouring Cobra.

The old toad lost one of its hind legs with 2 others being injured, despite this, he could still battle because he originally had six legs. And besides, his legs were not his strongest point, his tongue was.

For the sparkling white fish, it already lost almost all its sparkling scales. Its body was submerged in its own blood, it could no longer swim, now it could only hover in the water, waiting for its death.

The battle was already at that extremely tense point where fast mechanical music played and the winner was about to be declared.

Sebastian silently watched the battle from afar, his brain rapidly calculating amid the booming sounds from the battle as his eyes suddenly lit up with the light of an epiphany.

Due to the fierce combat power displayed by the Devouring Cobra, he originally already gave up on the fish but now he had other ideas.

He laughed. "It is never over until it is over".

[You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

Like a racing sports car, Sebastian's enormous body suddenly started swimming in reverse, away from the raging battlefield. He was already a distance away from the battlefield, but now he increased the distance further.

While swimming in reverse, he suddenly turned his body, simulating a water movement like a drifting car as he accelerated further away.

His strange actions of course caught the attention of the 3 battling purple tier predators, but they didn't have the time to pay focused attention to him.

Originally, they disdained him, an orange tier shark joining a battle among purple tier powerhouses but after the combat ability that he displayed, none of them dared to underestimate him further.

Any movement from him was worth paying attention to, but just that.

Sebastian felt the other predators looking at him but he didn't care. He was indeed escaping from the battlefield, but at the same time not leaving completely.

While rapidly swimming away, he willed his system to check one of his most important stats in relevance to his combat strength.

[MP: 414/1070.]

After his unrestrained use of his mana points, they descended to an all-time low but with the efforts of his mana recovery mechanism, these were the mana points that he had currently available for use.

Sebastian's eyes flickered calculatedly on seeing this, the rough idea on his mind was already being finetuned to become a masterpiece plan.

In less than 2 minutes, the distance between him and the battling predators stretched so long that their figures turned small.

Seeing this, the purple tier predators forgot about him and focused on their own battles. This was exactly what Sebastian wanted, he repeatedly confirmed that this was the case before finally stopping.

He checked again, confirming that his mana points already recovered to above 550 which made him heave a sigh of relief.

After checking, he removed any unnecessary thoughts from his mind and let his body calm down, slowly merging with the water as his thoughts flowed alongside the ripples formed in the water.

His eyes slowly narrowed, then he aimed carefully.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: Bow and Arrow.]

Sebastian didn't just materialize one arrow this time, the first arrow appeared followed by the second then the third. Only one of the arrows was on the bow while the other 2 hovered silently in the water.

With all these done, Sebastian maintained his aim and waited.

Far away in the distance, the fish already lost a significant part of its body. Now, only its head still had wisps of vitality but this was about to be devoured by the Devouring Cobra.

Both the old toad and the Praying Mantis finally gave up hopes of getting the fish, they rather fought and struggled to escape from the Devouring Cobra instead.

While they did all this, a bright light suddenly exploded from afar, in the direction where Sebastian was, rapidly filling their vision.

Sebastian finally released the arrow after accumulating over 200 of his mana points to power it. The arrow's speed directly broke the sound barrier, propelling it with such speed that the friction made its path ignite with fire.

While the first was still moving, Sebastian shot the remaining 2 arrows. The Water Transmutation unique skill worked with imagination, and imagination worked with thoughts, and thoughts flowed at the speed of light.

This meant that Sebastian's sequence of attacking from the first to the third arrow also commenced at the terrifying speed of light.historical

Feeling danger for its life, even the Devouring Cobra escaped, dissipating and entering its smoke shadow in the blink of an eye. This effectively left the poor fish defenseless, and it took the full blow of the 3 arrows.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fish had no chance, the remaining flesh left of its body directly exploded from the force and might of the magic power, turning it into a pitiful but colorful bloody mist immediately.

[Congratulations! You have killed an Origin Fish!]
