Chapter 406 - He Came Back!
When the anatomy team that worked on the last priority research target discovered that their boss finally found a breakthrough though minor, they were all ecstatic as they went into a jubilatory mood.
And of course, when they were informed of Sebastian's decision, they all volunteered to help in any capacity that they could.
From the day of rest when Sebastian just started thinking radically to remedy the stunted research target, it was 3 days already, and in this time, Sebastian already drafted the plan for his next series of actions.
In his opinion, 3 days was too much time already.
Sebastian's plan was very simple, it simply entailed taking the strongest predators currently in the 1st Den of Anatomy with him to participate in the rescue plan for the Firelight Shark Clan.
While taking the strongest predators alongside himself, he would leave the competent anatomists to keep on finetuning the 2 research successes.
He hoped that by the time he came back with his price, the survival percentage of the Mana core implantation research would have improved.
Of course, simply going to rescue the Firelight Shark Clan was not the end of his plans. With Eliana's information, Sebastian already knew about the 3 powerful predators of the Firelight Shark Clan and what they were capable of.
With Tungsten and Strong, even Queen Heareth along, Sebastian believed that his plan to capture a Mana Lord would become a lot easier.
The next step of Sebastian's plan was Doctor Josephine escorting the rescued sharks back to his Den of Anatomy while he and the other powerful predators finally go on the hunt with the information from the Clown Empire.
Of course, if the hunt was successful, the next step was bringing the Mana Lord back while resuming the research on the alternative mana recovery option.
Once Sebastian went through the plan one last time, confirming that there were no loopholes, he finally left with his entourage.
That day, 10 military-grade shuttles left the 1st Den of Anatomy.
…
"Commander Strong, the 3rd frontline defense line just crumbled!"
…
"Commander Strong, the 5th frontline defense line just crumbled!"
…
"Commander Strong, our rear defense line just suffered a breach!"
"HOLD YOUR GROUND!" A powerful voice filled with such raw might that instilled a sense of authority and safety on the sharks reverberated through the comms as the battling sharks found their safety net.
This haven did not prove resilient enough though as another news finally broke the conviction of the battling Great White Sharks, spreading panic that even Commander Strong himself could not resolve immediately.
"Commander Strong, a defensive breach has just been established by the enemies that lead directly into the pen!" This time, the voice sounded horrified, angered, and in disbelief.
"The Queen is already withstanding enemy attacks herself!"
Once Commander Strong heard this, it was like a fuse switched in his head as a sense of aggressive protectiveness erupted all over him.
"Nooo…! Not the pen!"
Since the day that he took the oath to become the first military Commander of the Firelight Shark clan, Strong took on a lot of responsibilities such as ensuring the survival of his subordinates and every single shark of the clan.
The pen was the most protected part of the new clan, and this was the part where he also felt more protective, suddenly hearing that this zone was breached despite all the heavy protection left him horrified.
As he imagined scenarios of what may or may not be happening at this moment, a sense of horror gripped his heart that made his blood burn hot.
"Nooo!!!"
For the first time, Commander Strong charged out of his command post straight into the battlefield, to the heart where Queen Heareth was fighting.
Originally, he commanded the army from a distance, common sense telling him that the time was not ripe yet for him to engage physically, but with the pen now threatened, he would be a fool for not acting immediately.
Once Strong came out in the open, the army Commander of this clan that was already infamous in the region finally came before the enemies.
A few days ago, the Orca Revolution that was currently sweeping through the Green Mist Sea finally extended here.
Because they settled here not too long ago and were a relatively new clan in the region, the Firelight Shark Clan had no significant enemies at the moment and were supposed to be safe for some time, at least.
Things didn't always go to plan though, and today was one of these days.
The Firelight Shark Clan had no enemies, but their allies did. The Triton Clan was a powerful beast clan that unlike Old Mak's clan had the privilege to grow with time without encountering a disaster like the Volcanic eruption.
Survival in Oceania was not easy. In most cases, a beast clan surviving the turbulence meant that another beast clan met its end.
Unfortunately for the Triton Clan, one of the beast clans that were supposed to have met their end during their rise was not annihilated completely.
The Orca Revolution was a disaster to most and a revival opportunity to a few. The 3-Tip Orca Clan that once suffered a near-annihilation defeat to the Triton clan finally had the opportunity to reemerge.
The Orca Empire was a mighty beast Empire, but it was inevitable that it could not spread its tentacles to every corner of Oceania.
In some regions, Orcas did not enjoy privileges due to their senior bro.
The 3-Tip Orca Clan was one of these unlucky clans of Orcas, but with the sudden Revolution of their big bros, they got the teeth that they lacked previously.
Now, this powerful Killer Whale Clan was back to hunt their hunters. In this fairytale-like story, the innocent Firelight Shark Clan was unexpectedly drawn into the fire zone, now they had no choice but to join the war.
This was what culminated in all that was currently happening.
A frenzied Commander Strong charged in the direction of the Pen.
Faced with the reality that the precious baby sharks were about to die, Strong entered a super shark state. In his full war gear, he turned to a gym freak war machine as he bulldozed his way through all the obstacles before him.
After his evolution, Commander Strong already developed an extremely notorious reputation from the few major battles that he fought.
One on one, at close range, Commander Strong was unstoppable!
Despite the army of powerful Killer Whales that were currently facing him, his body simply swatted them away like they were mere bugs.
His strength was already prodigious enough, but perhaps due to his current extreme emotional state, Strong managed to activate one of the magic effects of his sole living weapon that he got from his master, the Berserker state!
In the Berserker state, all Strong's attributes increased by 100%. Not only that, the more he was beaten in battle, the stronger he became, this presented a scenario where he could grow infinitely stronger so long as he lived.
This current state Strong entering the battlefield was unfair to the Orcas.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Strong bulldozed his way through the Orcas, smacking left and right, crunching Orcas to death with impunity, he unleashed a massive wave of destruction till he arrived at the pen.
On arriving, he discovered Queen Heareth with some minor injuries but he heaved a sigh of relief since the Queen managed to protect every single baby shark.
With the pen safe, Strong could finally focus on unleashing his wrath on the Orcas who dared to target this extremely important location.
"Die!" "Die!" "Die!"
Strong unleashed a wave of death. You crash into him, you die, he crashes into you, you die, you attack from afar, he sends a tooth and you die, Strong was the perfect embodiment of a physical killing machine.
Despite how much he killed, the 3-Tip Orca Clan was relentless, more Orcas kept on coming as more protector Great White Sharks died.
This continued until the life of the first baby shark was finally threatened. Strong was horrified, he was angered, but he could do nothing as he was already preoccupied with battling another cluster of Killer Whales.
The Firelight Shark Clan was pushed to the wall.
Of course, the clan already contemplated escaping from this region but the ruthless Orcas already cut off all their escape routes, they were trapped.
Tension ran high, Tungsten who was leading the battle on the main battlefield felt it even more. "Am I about to fail my elders?"
Before the first baby shark could die, change finally came.
When the sharks least expected it, help came!
"It's Sebastian!"
"Seba bro!"
"He survived!"
"He came back!"
