Chapter 422 Nightmare Of Chaos!
422 Nightmare Of Chaos!
[You have activated skill: Mana Control!]
Sebastian hummed in pleasure as the pure feeling of his mana being actively revitalized flooded his body, invading his senses and dominating his mind.
Killer moves consumed a lot of mana, and Sebastian's Ancient God's Blast was no exception as after activating it, he felt like he was drained of all energy and nutrients, leaving him in a nutrient-deficient state.
Originally, this would have affected Sebastian but he was already able to unlock the more special abilities of his evolution route.
With the way he currently was, even if he had to use his Ancient God's Blast skill repeatedly in a battle to defeat his opponent, so long as his opponent was still alive and had mana, he could never run out of mana.
Also, after spending a few hours more in Manapedia, acclimatizing more with it in the process, Sebastian discovered a stunning truth.
Unlike in the outside world, forgetting the convergence of primordial origin mana in the Temple of Primordial Mana, the normal mana in this world was far thicker and more concentrated than in the outside world.
This presented a scenario where the mana floating freely in the water was even more convenient to harness than that leaking from other predators.
Due to this, in Manapedia, Sebastian really got access to unlimited mana. Even if there were no predators nearby to steal mana from, the world itself was the best source, he could pick from its enormous reserves anytime he wanted.
After enjoying the benefits of unlimited mana, Sebastian felt even more reluctant to deprive his ultimate doppelganger of something this OP.
His Space Beast ultimate vessel doppelganger must have unlimited mana!
After admiring the feeling of having unlimited mana some more, Sebastian finally directed attention to the effects of his attack.
After having a fierce battle against the Mana Lord that stretched across minutes, where they even had to make use of their killer moves, in the end, he got the upper hand, coming out on top.
At that last moment, Sebastian felt horrified at the prospect of killing a Mana Lord. Though he did not stop, he still dreaded the thought alone.
When the Mana Lord was finally teleported away, he heaved a sincere sigh of relief since, in his opinion, he just dodged a deadly stray bullet.
No matter what status he currently had in the hearts of the spectating Mana Lords due to his performance, in the end, they still saw him as an outsider while Mana Lords were their brothers, killing one would be blasphemy.
This was the reason why Sebastian avoided the scenario like the plague, and thankfully, he was able to avoid it in the end.
It was what happened next after he eliminated the Mana Lord that really shocked him. On checking the notice signpost, he was shocked to not only see an announcement of him eliminating an opponent but the points attached to it.
50 freaking points were given for eliminating a competitor!
Considering the fact that killing a Chaos Monger only gave 10 points, Sebastian finally understood the real motive of this test.
This was a strength test, though the primary task was to go out and hunt for Chaos Mongers, it was still a test to differentiate the strongest predators from the rest, and what better way to do this than to encourage the competitors to fight it out between themselves?
This was the reason why Sebastian finally changed his creed.
After the encounter with the first 3 Chaos Mongers, he already decided not to hold back anymore, his encounter with the Mana Lord reinforced this notion more since he was finally exposed to the strength of these beasts.
If he dared to hold back, he would be outperformed like a helpless pig.
Apart from the creed of not holding back that he already held tight to, he established a new creed which was to actively hunt other participants.
But for now, though, he would have to see a competitor before he could eliminate him/her. The thing was that while competitors were still scarce, Chaos Mongers were readily available.
Even at this moment, Sebastian's combined super sensing already discovered 2 more of these beasts who were eyeing him for a distance.
These warmongers didn't learn any lesson from the fate of their 3 brothers, what they instead gained was more lust and desire to kill him as it would bring them the ultimate glory that they sought.
Sebastian grinned. "I love opponents like this!"
[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]
[You have activated skill: Water Transmutation!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Positron Sniper Rifle!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Pressurized Water Blades!]
Whoosh!
Sebastian erupted with speed in his supersonic state, his speed was so fast that before the 2 Chaos Mongers could react, the Positron Beam already hit one while Sebastian already arrived before the 2nd one.
Sebastian's body seemed to expand, turning more muscular as he activated a ton of skills that left his body more dangerous than a warship.
After all these skill augmentations, he bombarded the Chaos Monger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In less than a minute, he boxed his 5th Chaos Monger kill.
At this time, the 1st Chaos Monger was already rapidly swimming towards him angrily. All Sebastian did was to create his Positron Sniper Rifle again, then he released 3 consecutive shots that tore the beast to pieces.
After killing these 2 Chaos Mongers in just minutes, Sebastian turned into an incarnation of disaster that spread throughout the Forest of Soaring Devourers, he turned into the nightmare of Chaos Mongers!
From here, Sebastian actively hunted the Chaos Mongers.
The spectating Mana Lords were shocked repeatedly by the feats of this Megalodon, so shocked that they soon gave Sebastian a nickname in their circle, Sebastian was now called the Nightmare of Chaos!
Sebastian's performance was worthy of being given a nickname since there was no time limit until enough competitors were eliminated, Sebastian had all the time in the world to test his strength against worthy opponents.
In 6 hours, he killed 48 Chaos Mongers and eliminated 22 competitors.
This was such a staggering number that set him apart from every other competitor. Nobody would have thought such figures possible in this test, but Megalodon Sebastian proved all the doubters wrong.
Sebastian's cumulative Induction points were now sitting at an outstanding 2050 points, firmly at the top of all his competitors.
At this moment, he was already like that genius quiet student who you never expected but was actually the best in the class.
And following behind him was a Mana Lord competitor, Monolith, the strongest Mana Lord of the competitors at 1430 points. This powerful Mana Lord came close, but the gap was still enormous.
Sebastian's lead seemed inviolable until he met Monolith.
After eliminating 22 Mana Lords, getting the most points out of them, Sebastian finally came to face the cream of the crop of the contesting Mana Lords.
Would he prove to be the strongest or would his winning streak stop after facing Monolith in battle?
The pitch-black eyes of the Megalodon brimming with power and confidence clashed with the calm but excited eyes of the Mana Lord called Monolith.
This would be a showdown of epic proportions!
