Ocean Master

Chapter 268 - Escape[1].

"The President died!"

"The President died?!"

The soldiers that manned this vacation mansion and were tasked to defend the President with their life were in stunned disbelief. They first made the declaration, before questioning the declaration.

"The President died?!"

They were all stunned, speechless, shocked, and confused. Everything that happened was too fast for them to comprehend, it felt too unbelievable.

Getting the honor to be a part of the President's honor guard was the highlighting point of their careers as soldiers.

When they were appointed, they all felt ecstatic as their joy practically went through the roof. They originally thought that the assignment was an easy one, but now, perhaps due to a moment of negligence, the President was dead!

Death was a phenomenon that could not be reversed no matter how ridiculously developed the earth of the Sea King's imagination was.

None of the soldiers dared to think of the consequences of these occurrences, they were too terrifying to think of.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash!]

[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

After blasting the target's head into pieces of mangled flesh and blood, Sebastian waited to confirm the kill for a second before he moved.

This time, he was going for the direct entrance into the mansion. His mission was complete, now was the time to force his escape.

Of course, as he dreaded, the crazy Sea King's will did not end the test immediately after he killed the President, escaping was part of the test.

Through his sound detector, he already did a large-scale scanning. Apart from the escape passage that he infiltrated the mansion through and the main entrance, there was the 3rd entrance.

This was the entrance where the clusters of soldiers were originally leading their president towards, an underground bunker was built nearby.

Due to the rescue endeavors of the soldiers, practically over 80% of all the President's guards were already gathered at the mansion and almost all of them were concentrated inside the mansion or were escorting the President.

This made the defense at the main entrance into the mansion turn lax.

This was the perfect opportunity to escape that he had, so Sebastian did not hesitate to use his all to rapidly sprint towards the exit.

He dared not underestimate a bunch of furious soldiers.

With his supersonic speed skill, he could escape even before the soldiers could properly understand what was happening but he had a problem.

His mana stamina was already showing red.

[Warning!]

[Mana Stamina {MS}: 81/630.]

Sebastian finally started missing his Megalodon body. As a Megalodon, his mana recovery speed could offset his basic mana expenditures, but as an Atlantian, this was vastly different.

Also, he was still a newbie in this mana harnessing phenomenon, which made each of his mana expenditures more than normal.

At this moment of truth, Sebastian was bitten hard.

Sebastian was only able to maintain his supersonic speed skill for less than a second before he was forced to stop, this was able to carry him extremely close to the exit.

On getting there, he simply decided to tide the rest parts of the journey with his advanced dash skill but he only took 3 steps before Captain Devon moved.

It finally dawned on the surviving Captains and soldiers!

A dangerous enemy with inexplicable abilities infiltrated their ranks, killed their soldiers, and also killed their President. Now, this same enemy was about to escape while they watched like a bunch of morons.

This was unacceptable!

The fact that the President died under their watch already destroyed their career and everything that it represented, but this did not mean that they would let the assassin sully their dignity also.

No matter what strange measures that this assassin had, even if he possessed strange voodoo magic, they would destroy it all with technology today!

The soldiers erupted, the U.S military erupted, Captain Devon erupted!

"Materialize the doom shields!"

"Activate the heroic death mechanism!"

The soldiers were ready to die with this assassin!

"TODAY, WE EITHER WIN OR WE DINE IN HELL WITH THIS BASTARD!"

"Unleash the Destroyers!"

Captain Devon was furious, and it easily reflected in his emotions as he grabbed his Positron rifle before sprinting forward and aiming at the escaping assassin as he suppressed the raging anger that was in his heart.

Once his aim was secure, he vented his anger!

Btzz! Btzz!

The particle beams moved at the speed of light, and Sebastian no longer had enough mana stamina to draw on the power of the origin magic to create a shield.

Sebastian was forced, he had no choice but to turn and face the attack head-on. He jumped and swung his powerful magic Trident backward.

Boom!

Sebastian managed to withstand the tyrannical energy that powered the first particle beam, but he was helpless against the 2nd, he was blasted away like a chick who separated from his mother hen.

The pain was agonizing, but he felt happy since the momentum of this attack was enough to take him outside the mansion.

Unfortunately, at the last moment, before he escaped through the main entrance, a huge metallic wall with rich defense suddenly manifested.

The Doom Shield was finally activated!

This was an enormous metal shield that was surrounded with a small film of shield energy, and it completely engulfed the mansion, effectively isolating it from the outside world.

[You have activated skill: Spike Attack!]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram!]

Sebastian hit the energy barrier with his buff and muscle-packed body but all that he experienced was a thick unbreakable force of elastic energy.

Wong!

His body was thrown back like a rag, straight into the ranks of the simulated U.S soldiers who were now like wild wolves who caught the scent of blood.

While still mid-air, Sebastian adjusted himself in preparation for the possible collision. He may have lost his advantage of magic power, but he still had more than enough means to inflict damage.

At this moment of truth, his magic Trident was his most trustworthy companion which he relied on completely.

Boom!

Sebastian finally landed, then he instantly started attacking the humans aggressively who reciprocated by furiously retaliating with force.

In less than a minute, Sebastian killed dozens of soldiers before he heard a sound that made his heart sink into the deepest abyss.

Whoosh!

"Striker 101 in position, permission to drop the glowing missiles!"

"Striker 102 in position, permission to drop the AGM-84 Harpoons!"

"Striker 103 in position, permission to drop the Paveway laser-guided bombs!"

"Destroyer 201 in position, permission to drop the mega-rocket!"

"Permission granted!"

Captain Devon growled the order, then the 3 fighter jets and the sky Destroyer who were circling the skies released their loads.

Almost at the same time, all the soldiers that surrounded Sebastian, preventing him from escaping let go of emotional setbacks as they all laid their life down for this terrorist to be hunted and destroyed.

They did not escape the destructive area of effect of the attacks of these fighter jets, they instead pitted their life to drag Sebastian's life down.

These soldiers overloaded their weapons to the most dangerous of levels before pulling the trigger at this enemy without restraint.

They unleashed hell on Sebastian!

Bam! Bam!

Sebastian tried to escape from this area of influence, but with Captain Devon and Captain Max keeping him occupied with their Positron rifles, he was like a frog stuck in a well, he could not escape.

Even if he was an Atlantian with a fierce physique, a magic weapon, and with access to magic, against these unrealistic humans that were from the Sea King's imagination, Sebastian's dominating strength was reduced by a lot.

Not only these, at some point, due to Captain Devon's orders, hidden artillery machines already emerged and were not shooting at him furiously.

These machines had no safety limits, they shot through the human soldiers if that was what was required to get a bullet to him.

Apart from the hovering fighter jets, what actually concerned Sebastian the most was the heroic death mechanism!

He didn't understand it, but from his few deductions and with his sound detector, he got some clues. The already berserk energy in the air already indicated a lot of things.

This mechanism was probably made to harness all the berserk natural energy in the air to create a mega explosion that could almost match the power of a nuclear bomb in destructive potential.historical

Sebastian was not confident in surviving such a blast, this was why he improvised as he got prepared to receive the fighter jets' loads without activating a single magic skill that was in his repertoire.

The hovering fighter jets' loads finally touched the ground.

BOOM!

A huge pillar of mushroom ground formed in the middle of the mansion the next moment as soldiers suffered, with mutilated limbs and arms flying randomly.

Boom! Boom!

The laser-guided bombs and the mega-rocket were the most destructive of them all, the harpoons dealt deadly penetrative power, and the glowing missiles made the raging fire as explosive as possible.

The heart of the vacation mansion turned into a death zone!

The effects of the bombardment of the mansion continued for 2 minutes until it finally calmed down. By this time, the terrain of the mansion was already altered by the destruction that took place.

This was when the red-eyed surviving soldiers finally looked through the dust to see if their enemy was finally dead.

It seemed so; no sound came out for the next 3 minutes. They did not let down their guard though as they decided to go closer and confirm.

This was when it happened!

[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone!]

[You have activated skill: Sound Control!]

[You have created a sound construct: Loud Speaker!]

[You have activated magic gadget's active skill: Vacuum Space!]

[You have activated magic gadget's active skill: Sound Blast!]

[You have activated skill: Sound Reflection!]

"F*CK YOU!!!"

[You have activated killer move: Ancient God's Blast!]

BOOMMMMMMMMMMM!

Destructive potential was displayed at its peak!

The terrifying attack swept through the mansion and beyond like a plague, tyrannically destroying the doom shield that was erected and wiping out almost all life that inhabited this region.

By the time the attack subsided, Sebastian already escaped.

He suffered terrible injuries from the fighter jets' attacks, but he endured them all just to let his mana stamina recover as much as possible.

This was to enable enough stamina to activate his killer move. At this moment, his mana stamina was down to 0 for the first time but he succeeded in his objective of escaping the mansion.

The only problem was that the test never ended.

Sebastian already escaped far from the mansion but the virtual-reality domain never faded off, the fighter jets were still following him like a fly.

This continued until he escaped to the end of the island, at the northern end. Here, Sebastian saw a scene that made his heart turn cold.

WOM!

The U.S military navy fleet was here!

"F*ck you Sea King!"

"End the test already!"
