Ocean Master

Boom!

The water raged, spreading ripples in every direction as a great battle between a group of Great White Sharks and a family of mutated Sea Lions continued unabashedly.

Of course, the Great White Sharks were the ones winning despite their lesser numbers but the mutated Sea Lions were still putting up a good fight.

This was a battle for survival and food, a survival of the fittest battle.

The sharp teeth of the Sea Lions were the least of their advantages, their mutated Fire Skin adaptation was even thicker than other predators of their size, granting them frightening defense. 

They also had the home ground advantage which meant a lot and at this moment where it was needed the most, it showed.

The Sea Lions were not advanced enough to come into contact with Atlantian technology to use in battle, and they didn't have magic weapons either, but still, their family lair was finetuned to aid them in battle.

Inside their lair, the enormous Great White Sharks were like a tortoise stuck in a basket, but they were like fish in water. This was their domain!

Through the holes that filled every part of the lair, they were able to rapidly swim in the lair, and unlike their attackers, they changed pace and direction in the blink of an eye while rapidly retaliating against the bigger predators.

Their teeth repeatedly met the flesh of the Sharks, but the problem was that compared to them, the sharks were bigger with even thicker skin.

Only the underbelly of the sharks was a little weak, but against intelligent sharks, it was a herculean task to target their underbelly and still expect them to look on like a fool. 

This and a lot more disadvantages meant that they were losing and there was little that they could do about it, but they still gave their all.

Crunch!

Another Sea Lion rapidly swam through one of the holes inside the lair, colliding against a shark and sinking its sharp teeth into the predator's skin in the process as blood flowed.

Almost immediately after this Sea Lion attacked, another followed, doing exactly the same thing to the shark but the shark retaliated the next moment.

The shark's tail fin hardened before flapping sideways with force.

Unable to dodge on time, one of the Sea Lions was hit as the force of the tail sent it flying at the walls of the cave lair. Before it could recover, it saw a dark shadow rapidly coming towards it before hitting it the next moment.

Bam!

The Sea Lion was crushed to death by the sheer power and weight of the shark's body as it rammed against it, pinning it to the wall and to its death.

Like with each death from their brothers, the other Sea Lions roared angrily as they attacked with even more frenzy but it meant little before the enormous bully Great White Sharks.

In a few minutes, from their previous number of almost 40 Sea Lions, they were now reduced to not more than 8, almost at the point of annihilation. 

It was more apt to say a massacre because they never succeeded in killing one of the Great White Sharks in revenge which was sad.

Seeing everything that was happening to its lair with its bloody red eyes filled with anger, frustration, and grievance, the biggest and only sentient intelligent Sea Lion in this lair bit the bullet and turned to escape.

"The leader is escaping, block the R exit".

"Yes, team leader".

While giving out the order, Tungsten already sprang into action as he chased after the Sea Lion, smashing the more fragile obstacles in the lair apart with the sheer physical strength of his body.

4 other sharks acknowledged his order and went after the escaping Sea Lion.

Seeing that its only escape path was about to be blocked, the Sea Lion roared in frustration before it quickly gave up escaping. With its bloody and injured eyes, it glared at the sharks, a yearning for revenge bubbling in its heart.

"Die!"

It suddenly turned and roared this at the sharks, opening its mouth in the process as raging hot fire erupted out.

As calm as a horse, one of the sharks took the lead before stirring its magic power as a huge water wall was erected before the raging fire. The fire was stopped in its path, calmly nullifying the Sea Lions' strongest attack.

Before the Sea Lion could recover, Tungsten took the lead again. The enormous Great White Shark controlled its magic domain impeccably as what seemed like a light bulb appeared above his head.

From this enormous light bulb whose light kept on growing in intensity, a sword made out of pure white light came out. The sword flew out with speed the next moment, towards the Sea Lion who tried to defend itself.

Bam!

Without compromises, the sword impaled the Sea Lion as the force carried it backward before pinning it to the cave wall.

"It'll be your turn one day, filthy shark…"

Tungsten swam closer without much of a reaction to the dying Sea Lion's words as he replied. "Till then, you die now".

Crunch!

The Sea Lion's head was bitten cleanly off, ending its misery.

When Tungsten turned around, the remaining Sea Lions were already finished off, leaving a cave lair filled with blood.

The 12 Great White Sharks didn't eat the meat, they rather stored them in small pouches that were attached to their underbelly.

This was the Gigantic White hunting team with Tungsten as the leader and founder. As the elders and clan head didn't have a hunting team, this was the biggest hunting team of the shark clan under Old Mak.

For the battle that just ended, it was routine mission farming to the sharks. Oceania was a cruel world, there was no way to sugarcoat it.

This was a world where only the fittest survived, and the unfit becomes food for the fit. Every day, in this cliff, dozens or even hundreds of predator families suffered a fate similar to what the Sea Lions just suffered.

No one cared though, this needed to happen to make sure that other predators remain well-fed to keep the ecosystem normal and evolving.

After the sharks finished dealing with the meat left by their latest victims, they turned to leave but stopped as the water suddenly made a tearing sound.

Warp!

"It's Torpedum". One of the sharks announced which the others agreed to with their silence.

After this tearing sound, the water space was torn open, revealing what seemed like a portal. Through this portal, a line of words appeared.

"Your new friend is back, and the little fella he took surprisingly survived".
