Whoosh!

After tearing his way out of the underground catacombs, Sebastian did not even dare look back nor sideways as he continued his rapid escape into the depths of the seamount.

His current speed induced by his supersonic speed skill was so fast that his vision blurred a bit, and it also affected the clarity of his electroreceptor skill.

The hardened red trees and weeds rapidly flickered and moved across his vision like figments of an imagination, his rapid swim left a long bubbly trail in the water until he crossed a significant distance before stopping.

He didn't just stop because he wanted it, he knew that the monsters in the catacombs were not the only predators that he should take note of in this seamount.

If he continued moving at such a speed, he was bound to attract another predator. Cursing that, he stopped his enormous body and observed his surroundings carefully with his 2-fold vision.

[You have triggered Adaptation: Camouflage Organ.]

With that, the color of his body experienced minute changes again, changing to blend with the surrounding water.

After doing this, he relaxed further and observed.

With his tail fin flapping left and right gently, he quickly finished his observation of his surroundings and concluded that he didn't attract the attention of any dangerous predator.

Then, his attention finally went back to the strange catacombs.

Looking into the distance, he did not see any hound lady monster coming after him which made him heave a huge sigh of relief.

With a heart filled with trepidation, he activated his triple reverse swim skill and started navigating his way back to the position of the hole that he tore through the ground to emerge out of the catacombs.

As he swam, his ears were pricked to detect any sound in the surroundings, his electroreceptors, eyes, and even his sound domain magic were already activated and on standby.

About a minute later, he finally arrived at the location.

"This.." He expressed shock at the sight that presented before him before he quickly remembered a specialty of the hound lady monsters that they could control earth magic.

The hole that he tore from the catacombs outside was already covered, but there were still clear signs of it in the seamount, making it seem like the ground was stitched back together.

Ignoring this abnormal sight, he heaved another huge sigh of relief. Still, a safe distance away from there, he finally started analyzing his experiences in the strange catacombs.

What left the most impression on him was undoubtedly the strange Hound lady monster. Not only was it ridiculously strong, but there were also numerous others of its kind in the catacombs which made it all the more frightening.

He could only thank his God that they could not come out of the catacombs.

He made this conclusion as they didn't pursue him to the surface, his impression of the hound lady monster was not of a predator that easily gave up on free food.

Putting that aside, the question came- what the hell was that horrifying abomination monster?

Despite escaping already, he could still hear the spooky sound of the tip of the high heels tapping on the catacombs floor which left him shuddering in fear.

Another fact was that Oceania actually classified a hound as a sea creature.

"Man, at this rate, my intelligence will slowly deteriorate". He lamented.

Putting all these aside, he came back to the main point- what exactly was the catacombs. He didn't exactly know, but he had a guess already.

He already knew that it was somehow related to the Necromancy King, and with the clue about that place being an experimental ground, he came to some inconclusive conjectures.

Those pile of human skeletons was actually experimental test subjects. During the experiment, something happened, and they somehow fused with trained hounds to form that abomination monster.

This was a completely random thought, but this was all his brain could come up with immediately.

He also didn't forget the blueish-white box that emanated a chilling cold to the surroundings, he guessed that the box was either one of the experimental machination requirements or an artifact.historical

Referring to it as an artifact was funny but after seeing Leroy's battle gear, he was a lot more open to such things.

Of all his conclusions, the most important one that he came to was 'this was an off-limit area to the current him'.

Just one of the hound lady monsters forced him to give his all to defeat it and they were tons of them still inside the catacombs. If he didn't decisively use his unique skill, perhaps he would have become one of those abominations already.

Unless he grew significantly stronger or he received help from other powerful sea creatures, he was not stepping here again.

After calming his mind, he finally remembered the system notifications.

[You have killed an Abomination Hound- Level 18: You have gained Experience.]

[You have gained 15 Skill points and 10 Adaptation points.]

[You killed your opponent, you have been liberated from the effects of the Abomination Absolute Death specialty.]

[You have obtained the basic profile information of the Abomination Hound.]

"Sheesh.., they really have abomination in their names?" Sebastian was dumbfounded.

In his mind, he could already outline a crazy scientist just like the previous him, carefully dissecting a hound and a human, then stitching their bodies together to form this abomination.

"Sh*t!" He shuddered.

After finally calming down, he gave attention to the specialty of the Abomination Hound again. This ability was so vicious that it was already bordering on the realm of a cheat.

If he didn't know more, he would have thought that it was a unique skill.

"Is the Necromancy King's unique skill similar to this?"

If he didn't react fast and decide on the spot to kill the Abomination Hound, this ability that it had alone would have been enough to bring him down.

At that short duration, he lost more than 100 HP to it which was frightening. Putting that behind him, he demanded the basic profile information.

[Congratulations! You have unlocked the basic profile information of the Abomination Hound.]

[The Abomination Hound is a result of an experiment of high-grade crazy Atlantian Scientists. Inspiration for it was drawn from the Necromancy King, and they succeeded to a certain extent.]

[They have been tainted with evil energy generated from the mausoleum, granting them some of the tainted powers of high-tier Death Dragons.]

[They have an innate ability to control earth magic, and each of their 3 heads has different deadly biting skills.]

[Beware of the Abomination Absolute Death specialty!]

[Fact: In Oceania, Abomination Hounds are a unique monster because they retained their normal 2 reproductive organs, and they also added a mutated one, giving them 3 reproduction options.]

[Abomination Hounds are a truly unique monster.]
