[You have been bitten on the neck by a Giant Barracuda: You have been inflicted with -27 damage.]

[You are suffering from shredding damage: -4 damage for every one of the Giant Barracuda's rough shakes and pulls.]

[You are suffering from magic penetration damage: -6 damage for every one of the Giant Barracuda's penetration magic pulses.]

Sebastian felt pain like he's never experienced before flood his brain, unprecedented agony bit at his brain as his face immediately contorted to the unbearable feeling.

He felt like his skin was being sliced piece by piece by a sharp butcher's knife, and they were slowly being placed in the hot oil pan while he was still alive to witness it all.

He finally felt a taste of the medicine that he gave to the dead Tuna. Every shake of the Giant Barracuda's body made its extremely sharp teeth tear deeper into his flesh, shredding all his blood vessels and muscles apart.

The pain from this was milder compared to what the magic inflicted him with. As its black and white magic power penetrated his injuries, he felt like a hot iron rod was being pressed into his injuries.

As the pain continued invading his brain, something suddenly clicked. All the pain faded away, then unprecedented rage directly overwhelmed his brain straight from his blood.

"Roar!"

Flapping his tail fin hard at the water, he felt his body move in the water but the Giant Barracuda still refused to let go of his juicy skin.

He could hear the system giving him even more notification of his activating skills and damages being inflicted by the Barracuda, but he was too riled up to pay attention to it.

Every muscle in his body tightened, squirming and moving like they were being heated on a fire. His tense body made him explode with strength as he struggled on the Barracuda's jaws.

In just a few seconds, his blood already dyed the surrounding water a dark red due to his unrelenting struggles.

Despite his fierce struggles, the Giant Barracuda still refused to let go. Roaring again, he immediately activated a skill that could result in mutual damage to both himself and his opponent.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

Immediately after he activated it, the familiar flaming sword appeared. The Giant Barracuda felt the sudden heat instantly as soon as the sword appeared, it tried to release its tight grip and escape but it was too late.

Slash!

The flaming sword cut down with tyrannical speed and strength, directly cutting into the Giant Barracuda's head.

Sizzling sounds reverberated in the water as the flaming sword immediately cut a significant part of the Barracuda's head away, including part of Sebastian's belly that was originally under the fish's harassment.

Sebastian didn't even feel the pain as his now blood-red eyes finally turned to face the opponent with pure hatred and malice shining from its depths.

Whoosh!

The flaming sword cut across again, but with experience this time, the swift Giant Barracuda reacted and dodged. After dodging it turned around and went on the run immediately.

Its transition from attack to defense, then to escape was seamless, without hesitation and a strong vibe of experience emanating from it.

Sebastian saw it as it intended to escape, letting out another roar his subconscious mind gave another order in his head. Before the escaping Barracuda, a huge tower shield suddenly appeared.

With a booming sound, the unprepared Barracuda slammed into the sudden blockade without being able to react. Before it could reorient itself, it felt the water rapidly stir behind it, and then..

Crunch!

All the dozens of teeth filling Sebastian's enormous maws snapped down with mind-blowing force, empowered by his magic at the same time as they all dug into the fish's back in retaliation.

The Giant Barracuda opened its mouth to gasp while also roaring in pain, but its fate was sealed already when it let its grip go. The shredding finally began.

Sebastian violently shook his body in the water, dragging left and right, pulling up and down, snapping side by side.

[You have bitten your opponent: You have dealt -19 damage.]

[You have dealt further -8 damage {×3}.]

[You have dealt shredding damage -13.]

The razor-sharp teeth peculiar to every great white shark did their dark work, tearing without any care of the world at the thick skin of the opponent, shredding every single ounce of flesh apart.

This time, the Giant Barracuda no longer had any will of its own.

It tried to struggle while repeatedly groaning in pain but none worked, Sebastian's violent movements meant that the potentials of his sharp teeth were maximized to the fullest.

And with his new strength after evolving, he pinned the Barracuda in one place. All his muscles were active and tense, focused on restraining all the struggles of the huge Barracuda.

The violent struggle continued for a whole 2 minutes before the Giant Barracuda's strength started waning. At some point, Sebastian left its body and his teeth were now firmly digging into its neck.

It jerked a few more in pain, a minute later it finally went limp.

[You have killed a mature Giant Barracuda Fish- Level 21: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 12 Skill points and 20 Adaptation points.]

[Congratulations! You have killed an opponent 2 tiers higher than you.]

[You have gained an additional 5 Adaptation points.]

[You have leveled up once.]

Feeling the Giant Barracuda go limp still under his jaws while also hearing the notifications of the system, Sebastian finally left his peculiar state of pure rage and came back to the present.

His eyes looked around dazed for a moment before quickly clearing up as he felt a sharp pang of pain strike at him. Through his electroreceptor skill, he could see the large hole that was currently dug inside his back.

Despite this pain, his eyes remained alert, watching the surroundings like a hawk to check for any new enemy. After the experience of the Barracuda, he was now wiser.

Confirming that no more enemy was nearby, he suppressed his weakness and started swimming around in search of any good hiding location.

As soon as he swam forward, his eyes lit up as he saw the familiar trenches that he saw during his first time seeing the outside expanse. historical

Without hesitation, he swam back and dragged all 3 of his prey to the hole. He hid at the corner of the trench's entrance, not daring to go deeper into his current state.

After the 3 battles, paired with the poison of the cone snail still on his body, his health was now at a critical level and he was super hungry.

Without hesitation, he devoured the 3 lumps of meat before him.. After doing this, he finally fell asleep to recover his spent stamina reserves.
