Eliot watched everything transpire.
They more they ventured into this water and the calmer it became, the more suspicious he became which made him observe his surroundings more carefully.
He was the first to notice the presence of the predator.
He noticed the hole in the seabed that was covered with green leaves first and he instantly became suspicious but before he could react, he saw movement.
“HISSS…!”
The shrill hiss revealed its identity.
Chief was at the front of this school but like a veteran kung fu master, he reacted first than any of the other Salmon as he dodged and swam away instantly.
He swam away before he screamed for the others to run.
The others were not so fast like him.
CRUNCH!
One bite was all it took for it’s venom to be injected and instantly that brother became paralyzed, with one gulp this snake swallowed its prey.
Despite swallowing one Salmon already, its body size showed no change.
Its predatory eyes darted about in search of the next prey.
Bam!
It’s speed as it darted across the water was like that of a bullet being shot out of a magnum’s muzzle as it met up with and bit another Salmon immediately.
This guy was also immobilized immediately.
“…” Eliot was horrified by what he was seeing.
As he watched in horror even as the Salmon fish scattered like sheep without shepherd to escape for their lives, the system interface lit up again.
[WARNING! A powerful predator has been discovered!]
[You have encountered a Venom Hydrophis Spiralis!]
[Support system tip: Escape!]
“Run…!” All the fish screamed as they swam haphazardly in panic.
By now, this sea snake was already done swallowing the 2nd prey that fell victim to its venom as its eyed darted about, casually deciding on the next victim.
Bam!
It dashed out again with immense speed.
Another prey was immobilized.
“Bonkers!”
“Bonkers! Run…!”
Panic filled the water.
The tension got to Eliot as his blood pressure increased exponentially but it was still nowhere near the tension of Professor Gagam’s impromptu exams.
In this tense moment, Eliot’s discipline that was trained through years kicked in again as his brain calmed down amid all the tension, gearing into overdrive as he started processing information at a speed faster than normal.
He looked around at all the Salmon fish swimming haphazardly in panic, they were easy prey for the predatory sea snake this way.
Only chief swam in a clever manner and was already out of sight.
If it continued this way and the sea snake’s appetite was large, a lot of these Salmon would die. Heck, there was a chance of extinction.
A phrase entered his mind. ‘All fish must die someday!’
“F*ck! That f*cking chief!” He cursed.
By now, Eliot already analyzed and found a solution. Swimming haphazardly like the others was a sure way to die.
He already found a small hole on the ground that could fit like 3 Salmons, hiding there was the best option to survive this dangerous encounter.
He looked out for the only fish in his concerns.
“Brother! This way!”
Brother was already consumed by panic. “Bonkers! Run…!”
This fish swam haphazardly like the others, Eliot was instantly annoyed.
[You have activated skill: Dash!]
[You have activated skill: Bite!]
Whoosh!
His 3 days of training and adaptation were not in vain.
In an instant, Eliot’s tail fin hit the water as he accelerated towards his panicking brother. If words would not do it, pain would definitely do it.
Crunch!
His rows of teeth sunk into brother’s flesh.
“Bonkers! I’ve been caught…, I’m dying!”
“You’re not dying fool!” Eliot roared at him.
“Follow me!”
The pain and the roar finally brought brother back to his senses.
He was confused for a moment, Eliot no longer looked like that foolish and incompetent Eliot at this moment.
At this moment, he felt that following Eliot would guarantee his life and brother trusted his instincts, he did not hesitate.
He swam after Eliot as in an instant, they both hid inside the hole and following Eliot’s lead, they ruffled the sand a bit as they became covered in dirt.
From the hole and all the dirt, only their eyes shone.
“HISSS…!”
The sea snake kept on going on a rampage.
CRUNCH!
He swallowed his 5th victim.
Safe in the hole now, brother could now see what his brothers were going through from a third person perspective and he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
“Brothers…,” He lamented.
“Chief…, where are you?”
Hearing that name, Eliot gritted his teeth in anger. ‘That fraud!’
CRUNCH!
The sea snake swallowed its 8th victim and this was when it suddenly stopped.
The sea snake stopped and focused on the distance even as its eyes narrowed into slits, it seemed to detect something as the atmosphere suddenly changed.
Eliot was perceptive enough to detect the change. ‘What now?!’
Then, suddenly…
BOOM!
It was instantaneous acceleration and crazy speed!
They arrived in an instant!
Inside the hole where they hid, Eliot’s eyes widened into saucers.
The sound induced was caused by the sheer momentum of them moving through the water at such an immense speed.
The new guests were 5 extremely aggressive Piranhas.
And these were no mere Piranhas either, Eliot could tell from just one look that these Piranhas already evolved from their base form.
At least 3 times bigger than normal Piranhas, these 5 predators were hyper aggressive as they arrived in an instant and pounced on their prey.
Their prey at this moment? The sea snake.
Their terrifying teeth and hyper aggressive approach enabled them to tear into the skin of this sea snake the next moment as it bled.
The sea snake was caught off-guard.
“HISSS…!” It hissed in pain and annoyance.
“Bunch of annoying pests!” The sea snake roared.
“…!”
In his hole, Eliot was flabbergasted.
‘This snake can speak?!’
‘I should have known!’
‘If fish can speak, there is no way a snake in this world should not be able to’.
The sea snake launched its counterattack, it spoke again.
“Magic Gland: Venom Shield!” It roared.
Bzzz!
The water sizzled as a dark purplish thick liquid came out of its skin before solidifying the next moment around the sea snake, forming a thick shield.
“I’ll kill all of you pests!” The sea snake roared.
In his hole, Eliot was amazed. ‘Is that magic?’
Bzzz!Seeing the purple liquid come out and solidify to form the thick shield, instantly all 5 aggressive Piranhas became even more restless and aroused.These 5 Piranhas became more aggressive as they saw the shield.“Kill!” “Kill!” Kill!”They roared aggressively as a red mist suddenly surrounded them.Before they could do anything, the now incensed sea snake already started its counterattack as its long body rose up above the Piranhas.It opened its mouth the next moment, exposing its deadly fangs.“Magic Gland: Venom Spray!”With its mouth opened and its teeth exposed, the sea snake attacked the next moment as more of that dark purplish liquid came out this time from its teeth as it sprayed out like water coming out of a shower.This thick liquid touched the body of the 5 Piranhas and their skin sizzled as it started corroding.The reaction of the Piranhas?They became even more angry and aggressive.“Kill!” “Kill!” “Kill!”They had to have some form of confidence to dare attack t
“…”“…”“…..”The battlefield became quiet.Yet, 2 Salmon Fish refused to come out of their hole.Inside that hole, they stayed as silent as a mouse in the presence of a cat, their gills working on overdrive as they kept on breathing heavily.Brother?This guy was traumatized by this encounter.Eliot?He was too shocked to move.‘Holy f*cking sh*t!’‘What in the name of all f*cking midgets did I just see?!’ He felt like he was going crazy, he fought had to prevent himself from screaming in disbelief.‘A sea snake that is able to control it’s venom to form a shield?’‘Damn…, that’s straight out of an anime!’‘I always knew Piranhas are some aggressive mother*ckers, but bruh…, all those red mists, those Spartan Rage sh*t, that’s crazy man!’‘Those guys are no longer Piranhas; those guys are f*cking Chihuahuas!’‘Then, that last boss that seemed straight out of a 90s action movie’.‘Damn, that Electric Eel was completely electric man!’‘That blue electric blast, I almost felt like it wou

WHOOSH!“…”“…”“…..!”For a second, Eliot just floated in the water, stunned as he watched the silhouette of the gradually vanishing chief.He gritted his teeth in anger. ‘That f*cker!’‘That f*cker…, he’s always the first to run!’Chief didn’t even look back to see who shouted the danger warning nor did he even care to see the danger, he simply bolted away.And instantly, the fish school scattered in panic.Despite their panic though, Eliot was able to notice something immediately as every single one of the Salmon Fish still tried to swim in chief’s direction.That was all Eliot needed to heave a sigh of relief.“Brother, follow them!”“…” Brother was stunned.One moment, he was swimming with big bro Eliot, calmly hunting for food and the next moment he saw a brother being killed, then the Giant Spider, then big bro Eliot shouting danger then all his brothers scattering and swimming in panic.Everything was too much for this Salmon to process at once.He froze from confusion but Eli
The Giant Spider fainted.“…” Eliot was put at a crossroads.‘Damn! I can’t leave it behind…’‘I mean, this is a goddamn evolved beast!’‘If I manage to kill it now, I have no doubt that I’ll get enough XP to level up to the climax to be able to use my single species evolution orb, but…,’ He grimaced. ‘Are evolved beasts really that weak?’‘I managed to make it faint only because I caught it off-guard with my fart’.‘I have no doubt that he’ll curse my full generation on waking up’.‘Despite him being vulnerable now though, this guy’s skin is hella thick…, I doubt my juvenile teeth has what it takes to punch through this’.‘Besides, what if biting it wakes it up…?’That was the cue that Eliot needed to not spend a second longer here.[You have activated skill: Dash!]Whoosh!Eliot disappeared.…Huff! Huff! Huff!At a corner of the Thunder Reef, a big Salmon hid as his gills worked on overdrive, working on liquefied oxygen even as he kept on observing everywhere alertly, he was still
“…”“…”“…..!” Eliot was speechless.He was stunned as for a few seconds, he just looked at chief.‘Holy sh*t, that was fast!’ He thought.All the fish of this school watched everything that happened, still stunned as their tiny eyes kept on alternating between the 2 fish at the center of attention.Eliot and chief were quiet throughout as the fish looked at them.They looked at chief one last time.Then they looked at Eliot again.“Chief!” They roared.“New chief!”“New chief!”“New chief!” The school of fish started celebrating on the spot.‘Well, that works’. Eliot felt awkward being at the center of their attention but he was ready to take it having experienced the reality of this world already.Brother swam closer to Eliot the next moment, he looked across him.“Bonkers! What will he be called now?”“Brother?”“No”. Eliot looked at the largest fish of this school.Then he looked at the other fish. “Call him ex chief”.“Ex Chief!” They roared.“…”…A few minutes after the inaugur
During his 2 days of independence, even as Eliot tried to adapt and survive independently alongside brother, he also did some experiments.One of these experiments was related to his support system.“Umm, support system, can I use the system on others apart from myself?”[An active request has been made!][You have unlocked Support System Gimmick: Snooping Tool!][Snooping Tool: This gimmick enables you to use the system to spy on other organism’s status.][NOTE: The requirements to use the snooping tool on a target is either be affiliated to said organism or get the permission of the said organism.]After this, Eliot did not hesitate to use the snooping tool on brother.[Snooping Tool Activated!]-----Name: Brother BonkersLevel: 3Stats:Power: 2.3Speed: 7Mind: 2Toughness: 1.8Luck: 0[Health Points: 25/25][Skills: Dash; Bite; Devour; Camouflage; Mate][Species: Chinook Salmon]----Brother bonkers like Eliot approved of the system to call him was level 3 and it was clear, he w
Eliot used the past few days as the chief productively.Apart from training the previously chaotic fish school into a cohesive unit, he also did some personal observation on his part.Led by Commander Bomber, as the fish of the attack department went out to hunt successfully for the fish school, Eliot noticed something.During the past few days of hunting, a few of the fish in the attack department were able to level up, he noticed due to his snooping tool.This was when he arrived at a theory after careful analysis.‘Commander Bomber and ex chief are already level 5 fish’.‘It’s clear that level 5 is the first climax point for Salmon fish, to grow further, they need to use a single species evolution orb to evolve and gain magic’.This brought an idea to tweak the hunt strategy of the attack department.‘Since Commander Bomber no longer has use for XP unless he uses a single species evolution orb, there’s no use for him landing the killing blow to prey’.‘I will introduce a strategy t
“I want answers”.Elliot looked at the old man, Commander Aesop looked back at him and then he asked. “What answers?”Instead of answering, Elliot inclined his head to look at the laboratory.Seeing where he looked at, this Commander’s eyes flickered as a lot of things went through his mind.In the end, he asked. “Are you the one?”“Who?” Elliot looked back at this old man.Commander Aesop stood back on his feet. “Follow me”.This time, together alongside the old Commander, they went back to the laboratory.{Confidential Information:}{Clearance Level: Commander Aesop}Getting there, the old man said a single word.“Open”.Click!Without hesitation, the box with the information opened.As soon as the box opened, a voice reverberated from inside. “Only Elliot is allowed to open the contents of this box”.“The soul check will begin after 5 minutes of the box staying open”.“If you’re not Elliot, close the box, now!”Commander Aesop shuddered instinctively.That voice had no power, it wa

He swaggered straight into the hidden vaults and laboratories of the Human Empire to find the answer to the questions and mysteries in his mind.What was the true secret of infinite evolution?How was his reincarnation successful?What happened to Professor Gagam?With all these in his mind, Elliot no longer cared about the consequences as he barged his way into the hidden vaults and laboratories of the Human Empire and by doing this, he riled up the Commanders of the Human Empire.Led by Commander Aesop, the other Commanders of the Human Empire rose up in arms against him with the still impersonating Commander Rage.As an upper echelon at the very highe

Precisely, to the rules of the world.He felt a close connection to mana than ever before.And finally, it was complete, it stopped.BZZZ![Congratulations Virgin Elliot!][You have made use of an Epic Single Species Evolution Orb!][You have awakened evolved form: Flood/Frost Lord- Leviathan King!][You have become a World Spark Realm Flood/Frost Lord- Leviathan King!][Your Sage Vision has improved!][You have awakened a World Spark!][Your at
The Shark Alliance did not know what hit them.To many of the higher-ups of this powerful alliance, they simply cheered on from the background as their Great Chief absolutely battered the impulsive fish.They never expected the tides to turn so swiftly though.To them, it felt like their worst nightmare.Elliot dd not just kill the leader of the Shark Alliance, but by killing it, he leveled up 4 times, taking one of his forms to the peak of the Gold Core Realm, making that form essentially the most dangerous in this battlefield.And since the Crimson Tonic’s effects were still active, Elliot did not hesitate, he pushed his advantage against the Shark Alliance.The army of the Salmon Fish clan that had been holed up in their labyrinth lairs for most of this war on their leader’s orders finally came out.ROAR!ROAR!!!ROAR…!!!Sea beast, sea fish, all kinds of them, so long they were part of the Salmon Fish clan, they rose up at this moment, following the clan chief’s leadership as they

With his 3 forms, at the same time, he went on a rampage as he killed left and right with impunity, cutting the combat formations of the sharks open like it was no man’s business. Whenever he unleashed a skill, to the spectators who had the privilege of witnessing it, it was almost like a hot knife cutting through butter. There was literally no resista

1 month later…The Thunder Reef already experienced lots of change.Since returning to the sea to take charge of his fish school again a month ago, the coral reef had undergone tremendous changes under Elliot’s leadership.Within a few days of his arrival, he conquered the full reef, got the map that made him understand the layout of the full sea and of course, he also started his quest to get stronger by attacking the Shark Alliance.For the past 1 month, the Thunder Reef had been at loggerheads with the Shark Alliance.To many who heard this, it would sound ridiculous.Afterall, the Shark Alliance territory was a main territory while the Thunder Reef was just one of about a dozen subsidiary territories under them.How can beasts from a subsidiary territory go against the sharks?This was what a normal outsider would ask, but to the sharks who were facing the heat of the frenzied fish, they could tell a better and more personal story.After the great victory against the first outpost
