Inside the seamount in the middle of the gigantic world of fire surrounded by the circular wardrobe-like cliff where Sebastian resided sat a kingdom, the Draconic lizard kingdom.

Compared to the Crocodile kingdom that Sebastian visited a month ago, the Draconic lizard kingdom was smaller but equally majestic and dangerous.

There was no crater around it, it was built nonchalantly at the surface of the seamount but the location was at an extreme remote end of the seamount.

The main reason for this location being remote was the predators residing here, but another reason was that the fire at this part of the seamount was strangely poisonous.

For most creatures in this world of fire including the Crocodiles, just staying there would drain their health, only the Draconic lizards had a special organ adaptation that granted them resistance against it.

Numerous Draconic lizards roamed in the kingdom, but their young ones could not be seen as they were hidden from sight.

Compared to the mutated Crocodiles, though the Crocodiles were stronger the Draconic lizards were far more menacing.

Their teeth were not too sharp unlike other predators, but their super-sharp claws could make up for this defect. Their arrow-tipped tails were the cream on top of the cherry making them top predators in this region.

A full-powered blow from their tails is powerful enough to rip through the thick scales of the thick-skinned Crocodiles.

Seeing them, the normal survival instincts would prompt any enemy to escape far away but no, a foolish duo of a great white shark and a young Megalodon was about to try the impossible.

Surrounding the kingdom were only 4 trees forming a square shape at the different 4 corners of the territory. They were like the south, east, west, and north poles of the kingdom.

At this moment, a great white shark suddenly rushed into this kingdom that was solely being dominated by the Draconic lizards.

"Hey! I want to negotiate with you".

After this voice reverberated through the water, a strange silence followed as every Draconic lizard turned to see this troublesome shark with an angry, frustrated, and menacing look on their faces.

Despite glaring at the shark, the lizards did not attack immediately. It was at this moment that the surface of the seamount started vibrating rapidly.

Boom!

A huge Draconic lizard with fire raging around its body rushed out from underground. Its blazing fiery eyes glared at the shark with unconcealed hate.

"You again?" It roared angrily.

"Wait, I want to.."

"Kill him!"

"Die!" The Draconic lizards who were intelligent enough immediately responded to the order from their family head and rushed out.

Seeing their actions, all the other Draconic lizards followed. In a few seconds, all the predators in the kingdom rushed from their homes and went after the shark with angry expressions on their goosebumps-inducing faces.

"Uhm, uh oh!"

Seeing this, the great white shark did not hesitate as it immediately activated its dash escape skill, turned around, and rushed out of the area. It was already suffering from the poison so it didn't even want to stay a second longer.

The family head of the Draconic lizards looked at the escaping great white shark with a doubting look in its eyes. It seemed to understand something, but its brain was just not outlining it carefully.

It was already sure that its family members would not be able to catch the sneaky great white shark, so it turned to return underground.

The next moment..

"You f*cking son of a bitch, sit down and negotiate!"

"Never!" The Draconic lizard didn't even see the enemy before it roared instinctively.

"Fine!"

[You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

[You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]

[You have created a magic manifestation: War Hammer!]

Bam!

Before the huge Draconic lizard could react, the shark slammed into it with force. Its eyes glazed over as it fell into a short daze, it painfully paid for this as the war hammer slammed down on its head the next moment.

Immediately, it became dizzy as stars revolved around its head.

After recovering, it tried to retaliate angrily but the hammer slammed down at its head again, leaving it in pain. Instinctively, its sharp tail stabbed forward but the shark already retreated.

A safe distance away from his opponent, Sebastian calmly controlled the war hammer to keep on slamming at the lizard's head.

"Will you negotiate now?"

"No.."

Bam!

"Will you.."

"No!!!"

Bam!"historical

"Will you?"

"Please wait.."

Bam!

"I'll negotiate!"

The Draconic lizard already had numerous bumps in its head as it looked at the shark with a bitter expression on its face.

Sebastian kept such a distance from it that its trump card which was its sharp tail and its claws became useless. It had a skill to quickly close the distance, and it could also breathe fire but it used none of these.

After over a month of pestering from this shark, it already confirmed that Sebastian had no ill will against its family and hence it did not take the risk of going all-out.

After secretly observing Sebastian for some time, it knew how powerful the shark was and hence didn't try going for an all-out battle against it.

Another thing was that Sebastian gave it the same vibes that an old friend gave, it couldn't help but think if the both of them were related somewhere.

The only problem that it had with Sebastian was the constant pestering. "Don't you know how to live a private non-pestering life?"

As it complained inwardly in its mind, Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief and let his magic manifestation fade away. Despite this, he did not let his guard down as he was wary of this powerful lizard.

"Why did you agree to negotiate?"

The lizard's face became weird as it rubbed its head with its claws. "Is that not what you wanted?"

"I know, but accepting like this.., I can't help but feel suspicious".

The lizard snorted, bringing fire from its nostrils. "If you don't want, I can stop it and also call my family members back to fight you to the death".

Sebastian laughed dryly at that. He was surprised at how intelligent this lizard was which was a cause for relief to him, he thought that he'll really have to resort to exchanging blows first.

Before he could relax, the next question that the lizard asked left him feeling suspicious and speechless.

"Are you related to Clown?"
