[You have gained 16 Skill points and 5 Adaptation points.]

After killing the Giant Shrimp, Sebastian did not hesitate as his dagger-sharp teeth dug into the thick scales of the Draconic Lizard. With a strong pull and a few shakes of his body, his teeth tore through the thick scales.

The strong Lizard fellow tried to retaliate, but Sebastian used all the experience that he already got fighting them to quickly put it down.

Yes, for the past 2 days, these lizard fellows were the most frequent predators that he encountered.

The deeper he swam inside the seamount, the more terrifying predators he met, and the lizard fellows were some of the most terrifying.

Not only did their 2 pair of limbs have extremely sharp claws for clutching into prey and shredding to death, but their tails were also pointed like an arrow and could deal astronomical damage in one blow.

For magic, they had the fire domain magic. Unlike the Death Dragons, theirs was pure unadulterated red fire packed with terrifying destructive power.

When Sebastian first encountered them, he relied mostly on his hard-dense skin to withstand the terrifying crushing power of their claws.

For the first time in a while, his magic shield directly popped as soon as the fire breath came into contact with it. And this dealt almost -100 damage to him, which frightened the hell out of him.

And the most horrifying fact was that there were 2 of these predators.

Without hesitation, he turned and escaped with his supersonic speed skill. Once again, he felt the importance of this godly escape tool.

This was all part of his contingency plan after he encountered both predators. No matter how strong he currently was, his laws to being a great white Shark were still at the back of his mind.

Well, he was a Megalodon now but it didn't matter much.

After escaping to safety, he did not give up as he retraced his swim trail back to the 2 predators without their notice.

On finding them, he laid down a meticulous plan to greatly increase his success rate before he attacked. The battle continued for 10 minutes which was outrageous but he succeeded in killing one of the Draconic Lizards.

The other escaped, just like him, predators of this level were intelligent enough to have skills to safeguard their lives.

For the next 2 days, he hunted these Draconic Lizards as they gave him a lot of skill points. Skill points were superficial though, the main reason was because of their crispy delicious meat.

Despite his meticulous plans, these lizards were more cunning than he expected as he could only kill 3 for the past 2 days. He was not frustrated though, he now understood their pattern a bit.

During these 2 days, he already explored a significant part of the seamount but he could not still find a predator that he could call an overlord over this region.

As he swam forward leisurely while his thoughts deviated in random patterns, his eyes suddenly focused as he detected a vibration in the water through his sound control skill.

This was another discovery of the skill that he got after experimenting for the past few days, activating it could enable him to sense sound waves and vibrations from far distances than his electroreceptors.

The only shortcoming was that compared to the electroreceptors, he could not outline what was causing the disturbance and could only detect it superficially.

Without hesitation, he activated his second eye.

[You have activated skill: Advanced Electroreceptors.]

Manually controlling the skill, he was able to narrow it down to focus on one direction. As soon as he focused, he saw the familiar predator, the Draconic lizard rapidly swimming from afar.

Seeing this, he was first happy that another prey was donating its meat to him but his expression became odd the next moment as this was abnormal.

From his discoveries, the Draconic lizard was almost always the predator here, it was extremely rare to see it being the prey and escaping so pathetically.

Thinking of this, he immediately focused on the Draconic lizard. As soon as the focus cleared, he saw 2 predators rushing after the Draconic lizard who was their prey.

They had extremely thick skin, far thicker than the scaled skin of the Draconic lizard. Spikes jutted out of their back in rows to form what seemed like a weapon fortress, both acting as a defense and an offensive adaptation.

Their tails were long, thick, muscly, and packed with power- the kind that could crush bones on impact. Their eyes glowed a fiery red, adding an even more ominous vibe to them.

All these observations were superficial compared to their most glaring feature, their row of teeth that looked like a spiked semi-circular bowl of death.

Seeing these two fearsome predators, one word flashed through Sebastian's mind. "Giant Crocodiles".

These were the real deal, real fearsome Crocodiles and just like most high leveled creatures of this world, they were a gigantic version making them look even more menacing.

Their swaying body as they rapidly pursued their prey gave Sebastian goosebumps, their enormous sharp teeth glinted from the illumination of the green glow, reflecting a bright metallic sheen.

The nearest Crocodile suddenly accelerated, biting down on its prey immediately without negotiations.historical

Crunch!

The Draconic lizard roared in pain but it still tried to struggle and escape, this struggle proved futile though as the other Crocodile came to its side, clamping down its teeth on this fresh prey with staggering force.

The teeth penetrated through without much resistance, crushing one of the lizard's 4 legs in the process as it roared in pain.

With red eyes, it gave up on escaping as it decided to fight to the death. Fire immediately started raging around it, but the Crocodiles easily countered it, they also had the fire magic domain.

In just a minute after it was caught, the Draconic lizard was already being crushed to the point of death by the sharp teeth of its opponents.

Seeing this, Sebastian was shocked as he knew how strong the lizard was. Then he remembered that he was exposed, almost freaking the hell out of him.

[You have triggered Adaptation: Camouflage organ.]

As his skin color changed, his brain rapidly swirled as he thought of what to do. He was obviously not going to help the lizard, but he remembered a term that he loved from his previous world- the almighty steal-killing.

Without hesitation, he acted according to the inclinations of his mind.

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

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

Immediately, the pitch-black bow and arrow appeared before him. He carefully aimed with his magic power, confirmed again, then he patiently waited.

Painful and pitiful roaring sounds of pain kept on reverberating in the water as the Draconic lizard was slowly torn apart completely by the two Crocodiles.

When it was already at the point of giving up the ghost, a pitch-black arrow surrounded by a bright green magic power suddenly flashed towards it to the shock of the two predator Crocodiles.

[You have killed..]

Morales turned around without hesitation and silently started swimming away to avoid the rage of the 2 Crocodiles.

In his mind.. "What a successful kill steal, so refreshing".
