Chapter 212 - The Feeling Of Freedom Again, And A Different Perspective.
Boom!
With one last loud booming sound, Sebastian finally escaped out of the Atlantian military base with his new friend beside him and an important Atlantian who was still captive inside his airbag magic manifestation.
As soon as he laid his eyes outside after over a month of staying behind closed doors, Sebastian took in a greedy suck of the familiar water contentedly.
The boundless water body that was in his vision made his eyes narrow in joy, the familiar green glow of the Green Mist Sea made him feel fuzzy and cheesy all over, this was a sense of home.
He was back! Sebastian, the Megalodon was back!
It was nice and exciting when you made plans, but it was even more exciting when your plans succeed in yielding as you speculated.
At this moment, Sebastian felt extreme contentment.
When he first formulated his plan to bust his escape out of the Atlantian military base, he thought of a lot of obstacles, but despite all these obstacles, he was able to overcome and force his escape.
Of course, he improvised a lot during the escape, and without Tonado and the magic core, he probably wouldn't have survived. A lot of the coincidental occurrences were all due to luck.
With this thought, he turned to look at the severely injured toad who was floating in the water beside him. Just one look made his heartache, Tonado suffered a lot for him in this battle.
For the first time in both his lives, encountering a situation where someone deserted his benefits and life to protect his interests made him feel weird, awkward, and even a little guilty.
Even now, he was not sure of the toad's state which only made his heart ache more. What did he do to deserve such from the toad?
Because of his identity? Bullsh*t! He was not even the Ocean Master yet.
Tonado was severely injured, the blast from the energy ball made him lose consciousness immediately. Though Sebastian couldn't confirm if he was still alive, he still decided to take his body along.
This encounter made him remember stories of historical aristocrat families, where servants and guards are trained in a way where they are ready to lay down their lives just to safeguard the life of the young master or prince.
It felt weird for him to experience the same here.
Though in the end, Tonado's survival instincts took over and he tried to escape, to Sebastian, that was completely normal. If he was in the place of the toad, he was pretty sure that he wouldn't have been able to do the same.
This encounter with Tonado changed a lot of his outlook on this world. Since transmigrating into Oceania, his perception of this world was simply cannibalism, killing and feasting on each other.
For the first time, Tonado showed him a different perspective.
Also, he remembered his current bad luck, how did all those coincidences happen? Without any hesitation, he questioned his system, and the answer that he got only alleviated his tense heart the more.
Finally, his luck was reset back to normal.
Sebastian's body was still severely injured, but his eyes gleamed excitedly every time he thought of how he fought his way through and escaped such an army of Atlantians. It was an exciting and unforgettable encounter.
At this moment, all his outrageous magic manifestations already dissipated. This was because he already left his mini-mana saturated state.
Perhaps, it was related to his active battle state but as soon as he escaped out of the military base, the special state of unlimited strength and energy that he experienced before disappeared.
Despite this, Sebastian was satisfied with just the fact that he escaped. He had 2 weeks remaining before the time indicated in his system clue would elapse, he needed to act decisively and fast.
Also, he knew of a fact that he escaped the Crimson Fleet military base didn't mean that he escaped the Atlantian forces' grasp. He needed to get moving.
Rumble!
As he thought, a part of the supportive rocks in the hole that he created with his Mjolnir magic manifestation shook before collapsing further. The power of the Mjolnir already destroyed their foundation, now they simply collapsed.
Sebastian looked at these collapsing rocks for a few seconds before acting, he aimed at the top of the still sturdy rocks and activated a skill.
[You have activated skill: Sound Control.]
[You have created a sound construct: Sound Recording Domain.]
Sebastian's face turned serious after creating this sound construct as he spoke and recorded solemnly.
"I know that you've been watching me, this is my proposal…"
He completed his recording in about 30 seconds, then he hid the little water bubble which hid this sound recording in a place where the Atlantians could not easily detect. After this, he turned around.
He may not be in the mini-mana saturated state again, but after leaving that state, his mana points were left at the pinnacle of 1080. This was his time to move out of this location and he did.
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation.]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Fishing Net.]
[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed.]
Sebastian's fishing net reeled his toad companion and the Atlantian Doctor in before his body flashed with a bright light, then he disappeared from this area the next moment at a supersonic speed.
Calm and tranquility were restored to this location again.
…
Creak! Creak!
Silence reigned in the Defense Domain, a deafening silence like that experienced in a graveyard as the surviving Atlantian soldiers still stood in a daze like zombies remembering their days as living beings.
At this moment, only the damaged surroundings of the Defense Domain made spooky creaking and crackling sounds as electrical weapons malfunctioned while collapsed structures broke down further.
The Atlantian soldiers didn't pay attention to these though, their eyes were unfocused like their brains were finding it hard to comprehend what just happened, it was unbelievable.
It felt like an awful nightmare when the Megalodon erupted at the end.
Bullets, fire, lightning, ice, doomsday, destruction, and apocalypse, this was all they could think of to describe the frightening attack barrage at the end.
After the first bazooka cannon shot was unleashed, leaving Staff Sergeant Barnes injured, it was like they were captured from their heaven and ruthlessly thrown down all the way to hell.
They could not resist at all; they were like meat before the slaughter as the numerous magic manifestation guns wreaked havoc through their ranks.
At this moment, out of the hundreds of soldiers that gathered in the Defense Domain for this decisive battle, only a little more than 400 survived, and about half of them were killed by Sebastian's magic manifestation bombardment.
With blood leaking all over his body, Staff Sergeant Barnes' eyes twitched at every interval as the scenes from the previous battle kept playing in his head.
"What are your orders?" At this moment, Sergeant Raila who was equally injured made the right decision and asked.
Hearing that, the Staff Sergeant subconsciously closed his eyes while clenching his fists tightly. He took a deep breath before opening his mouth to speak.
"Send out all the soldiers with mini-submarines…"
Staff Sergeant Barnes paused before continuing. "Even if you can't capture him, at least pinpoint his location, reinforcement is coming our way".
"Yes, Staff Sergeant".
