Ocean Master

Chapter 147 - The Devastated Hunting Team, The Severely Injured Tungsten.



The bright green glow of the Green Mist magic essence remained prevalent, shining its brilliance upon the seawater and illuminating an area covering hundreds if not thousands of kilometers.

There was no location in the water where something like a sun was, this bright glow seemed to come out of everywhere.

The weeds, the grass, the trees, the algae, the microorganisms, the predators forming the ecosystem of the sea, and even the seawater itself were the source of the glow. They were all part of what made up the magic essence of the region. 

At a certain region of the sea, a fierce battle just ended.

The slight depressions in the cliff walls, the blood still floating in the water, and the changed color of the water in this region told of the intensity of the battle.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the water suddenly parted, becoming rowdy with white bubbles coming out as an enormous Great White Shark swam through with unmatched speed.

Unlike other Great White Sharks whose main body color was blue, at this moment, this shark\'s body was covered by a brown earthen film-like armor, making its skin brown in color.

Its thick and powerful tail fin flapped left and right, propelling it forward with a speed that even cars on earth could not match.

It didn\'t have any visible adaptation, perhaps they were all hidden inside its body only to be unleashed when the situation asked for it.

Despite this, the status of this Great White was announced due to its outrageous size of 20 meters just like the alpha Great White, Old Mak.

This was Marble, the strongest and oldest elder of Old Mak\'s shark clan.

As soon as he arrived at the location where a battle was fought and just concluded, the water parted with speed again as 4 other enormous Great White sharks rapidly arrived after it.

These 4 sharks were the elder Dangle who towered at a size of 18 meters, the elder Shine who towered at a size of 17 meters, Queen Heareth who towered at a size of 16 meters, and Old Mak himself.

A few minutes ago, back in the shark clan, each of these 5 sharks received alarming notifications of 5 of their best junior sharks dying in battle.

As purple tier sharks, also making them the upper-echelons of the clan, they had privileges which most of the other sharks didn\'t have.

One of those privileges was a magic weapon in the armory called Soul lock. It was acquired by elder Marble after killing a purple tier Barracuda over a decade ago, and its only ability was to mark the soul of predators.

The soul lock itself was the magic weapon, but it could produce what is called a soul pin every 5 years. Throughout the years, each of the elders, Old Mak, and his favorite wife already had their own exclusive soul pin.

Through this, they had the soul imprint of every shark in the clan, and this was done after each evaluation without the knowledge of the sharks.

Through their soul pin were they able to get the alarming discovery of 5 of their best sharks dying successively. And through the soul pin, they were able to know that their strongest junior, Tungsten was in danger.

After the 5 of them arrived at the location of the just-concluded battle, their sharp eyes immediately surveyed the area while at the same time a dense magnetic field seemed to have been created as their powerful electroreceptors blasted out.

It took them less than a second before they found who they were looking for, Tungsten was hidden under a pile of sand in the seabed.

The problem was that they found only Tungsten. All the other sharks in Tungsten\'s hunting team were nowhere to be found.

Old Mak moved before the others could. He quickly swam closer before scooping the sand away with his tail fin to reveal the shark that was trapped below, then anger blazed in his eyes the next moment.

It took a lot of his willpower before he forcibly suppressed his anger.

At this moment, Tungsten was weak, extremely weak. His horn adaptation already broke in 2, leaking blood. All over his body was filled with blood, his own blood which was evidence of how injured he currently was.

The injuries all over his body were so much that his underbelly now seemed like a sieve, it was a gory and painful sight to the eyes.

Most of the injuries were from sharp objects that dug deep into his body.

The biggest injury in his body was inflicted on the left side of his enormous body. 3 stab marks from a weapon with 3 sharp edges were inflicted on him, digging so deep that all his internal body system could almost be seen through it.

At this moment, Tungsten didn\'t even notice the presence of his master. His eyes were open but he could not see, his vision was blurry, all he saw was blood and water.

His brain could no longer think properly, all he knew was that he felt cold. For a shark like him, it felt strange but this strange cold seemed unbearable.

The pain all over his body already muddled his consciousness. 

He was just a step away from death but at this moment, a white light filled with vitality suddenly enveloped his body. Queen Heareth was already swimming closer as she gave her all to apply her healing magic to the shark.

It worked, some of the milder injuries in Tungsten\'s body immediately started closing up but the more severe ones remained stubborn.

This was nature. Though she was a purple tier healing magic shark, there were still a lot of limitations. She could not raise the dead; she needed the right conditions for her healing to be most effective.

While pouring even more mana into the shark, she turned to her husband. "I need to take him to the healing chamber".

Old Mak closed his eyes to calm his scattered emotions. He was about to give his consent to take the shark away when Tungsten spoke.

"Run…, Brod…, run…, don\'t look back…"

Hearing the younger shark\'s mutterings, Old Mak was about to speak but his wife beat him to it. Queen Heareth tendered gently to the shark, pouring even more healing mana into his body while trying to calm him down.

"Tungsten, calm down and tell me what happened".

Her strategy seemed to be working as Tungsten calmed down a lot, then he finally spoke. "We saw them…, th-they are too powerful…, we saw them…"

"Who did you see?" She asked even more gently this time.

"At-atlantians!"
