Chapter 444: Sebastian’s Current Strength.
"My current strength after the Manapedia adventure". Sebastian mumbled.
After everything that Sebastian encountered in Manapedia, with the highlights being his bonding with Goldie and his comprehension session in the Temple of Primordial Mana, he changed a lot.
He improved so much compared to his previous self that the current him could easily defeat and thrash the hell out of his old self.
After the session in the Temple of Primordial Mana, Sebastian did not get to see exactly how much he grew since his companions were already out.
Then, he decided that he would check himself up later after resting but on getting back to his 1st Den of Anatomy, he spent only a little time with his anatomists before Eliana convinced him into going on this vacation.
Now, here he was, still not sure about how much he changed.
It was now that Eliana mentioned it that he remembered it and her plan appealed to him. "I think that’s awesome, let’s check out how much I changed after the Manapedia adventure together".
Once Sebastian said it, he soon felt awkward. "Umm, how are we going to do this, you don’t have access to my system..."
"We can connect both systems since they come from the same mother system". Eliana added before he could finish.
"Are you sure?" Sebastian was surprised.
"Yeah, just watch". Eliana made her move.
[A connection attempt has been made by a nearby fellow sub-system.]
[Does host want to establish a connection?]
"Yes".
[Connection between the Ocean Domination System and the Ultimate Support System has been established!]
Once the connection was established, Sebastian felt like his mind was opened as he finally got access to Eliana’s system for the first time.
The differences between both systems were clear to see. The interface of the Ocean Domination System was dominated by blue colors, while the interface of the Ultimate Support System was dominated by pink colors.
At this moment, through the connection, Sebastian felt like a part of his mind was put into Eliana’s head while a part of her mind settled in his head also.
This strange connection of systems seemed to also connect their minds as they saw and heard things from the perspective of the other.
The first thing that attracted their attention on peaking into each other’s minds though was the overflowing love that they had for each other. This peek made both of them feel relieved in a way that they could not explain.
Though they hoped against it, for some reason, they still felt that this blossoming love between the both of them was a fantasy, peeking into each other’s minds remedied this as they tangibly felt the love that they had for each other.
Instantly, the trust between them grew.
(Sebastian, reveal your status already, I can’t wait to see it.)
Eliana was able to communicate with Sebastian through the system-mind connection, and Sebastian was able to reciprocate.
[Ok, I’m coming.]
"System, give me my status".
[Affirmative!]
Without any further ado, the Ocean Domination System obeyed the orders of its host as it displayed Sebastian’s recently updated status.
Though his stats were astonishing for a purple-tier predator, Eliana did not exhibit a lot of surprises as her stats were even more OP than this.
What actually fascinated her first was the fearsome catalog of skills that Sebastian had. Just the sight of the first half of his skills told Eliana the difference between starting as a Great White Shark and starting as a Clownfish.
As a predator that was more finetuned to being a lethal predator, in basic combat skills, Sebastian was far superior to her.
She admired all the skills in Sebastian’s repertoire for a few minutes before they both navigated to the tab for his origin law comprehension.
This was the only place where Eliana expressed astonishment.
She was sincerely surprised as even though she was responsible for pulling a lot of strings behind Sebastian’s entrance and participation in the Mana Lord Induction Ceremony, she didn’t expect him to grow so much.
Getting to the Intermediate Level of origin law comprehension for a purple tier predator was such an unprecedented feat that Eliana was pretty sure that only Sebastian was the only predator to have achieved it.
Even for Red tier predators, most of them only ever got to the intermediate level of origin law comprehension which showcased the difficulty of achieving it.
Eliana was not stingy, she heaped praise on Sebastian for this.
The fact that she had a hand in this made her feel even more proud.
After leaving the tab for his origin law comprehension, they both went through all the other parts of his system status till they arrived at a new tab that was added for his pending purchase skills.
After Sebastian’s tint in the Temple of Primordial Mana where he became exposed to so many secrets of the primordial origin magic and Oceania as a whole, he gained a lot of benefits and some of these were new skills.
Due to the mysteries that he fully comprehended; Sebastian was able to unlock 2 new skills, and they were both advanced level skills.
Sebastian didn’t know the significance of advanced-level skills yet, but the scaling suggested to him that they were surely going to be stronger than normal.
Under Eliana’s urging, Sebastian wasted no more time as he spent the required skill points from his stash to purchase the 2 skills.
[You have purchased Advanced Level Skill: Sound Domain!]
[You have purchased Advanced Level Skill: Zone!]
Once Sebastian purchased the 2 skills, he understood their significance.
After activation, the sound domain skill increased the power of all his sound-related skills by 50%. For the duration of its activation, his sound sensitivity, hearing, and sound manipulation increased by 100%.
The effects of this new skill meant that they also activated his first killer move that slanted towards sound magic usage.
This skill would definitely be extremely powerful in battle.
As for the last skill, it was a skill that gave him an extremely high level of focus once activated in battle.
This was a skill that could put him in a state of absolute concentration like when he fought for his life against Tonado and the other predators.
In this state, every distraction fades out of his mind, his brain becomes a lot more active and intelligent, and his perception turns frightening.
The Zone was a powerful skill to add to his repertoire.
Apart from the skills, Sebastian had other gains after his comprehension session in the Temple of Primordial Mana.
Apart from the clues to the Primordial Ancient Megalodon and the Blood Vampire that he got; Sebastian’s last most significant gain was the upgrade to his Vampire Teeth Adaptation active ability.
This skill became even more OP after the upgrade.
[Blood Vampire!]
[Effects: By taking 5% of your health, you have a 20% chance of activating the blood vampire state- which enables you to deal an attack that will take 70% of your opponent’s health points.]
Only the percentage chance of activation increased, but the increase from 2 to 20% was such a meteoric increase that the importance of this ability increased.
Sebastian could now rely on it in battle more when paired with his luck.
Overall, he felt that his adventure in Manapedia was extremely fruitful and Eliana felt the same way, she sincerely felt happy for him.
After spending so much time in each other’s minds where they got to explore Sebastian’s status, Eliana finally got bored as she made another proposal.
As she looked at the fast-flowing water, her eyes glittered.
"Let’s go swimming!"
