[You have left the Invisibility state!]

  [You have activated unique skill: Doppelganger and Invisibility!]

  [You have created a new Doppelganger!]

  [You have activated skill: Invisibility!]

  [You have activated skill: Mana Control!]

  Amid the chaos that swept through the zone of transition, Sebastian was like an oddball that could only be played from one place to the other without having any impact on the overall game.

  Sebastian's heart was on his throat since the battle erupted here, it was like he was walking on a tight rope and with any light, snap could die. 

  On more than one occasion, he came close to being busted.

  In this tense situation, he could only do his best to economize his mana, improvise, and adapt to the situation with a reaction time of mere milliseconds. If he spent more time reacting, there was a high chance that he was already busted.

  Throughout the past dozens of minutes after the battle here started, he kept on rotating between his unique skill and one of his evolution species skills.

  Like now, he was unfortunate to be in the range of a grenade explosion.

  The impact from the shockwave, and the damage made him lose control of his invisibility state, being ruthlessly yanked back into visibility.

  This was not the first time that this happened to him and was the reason why he was able to react on time having escaped it before. 

  The first thing that he did after he was exposed was activate his Doppelganger unique skill again, then creating a new doppelganger and activating his invisibility again almost at the same time.

  By creating a new doppelganger, he was able to replace his real body to prevent suspicions, while going back into an invisible state with his real body.

  This was a dumb and unsophisticated move that he came with on the spot, but it worked which was all that mattered to him.

  The battlefield here in the zone of transition was already extremely chaotic. The fact that compared to a vacant battlefield, the zone of transition had walls meant that it was cramped up as more and more soldiers came here.

  This made it extremely rowdy and chaotic. What every snake and clownfish soldier thought of was attacking their enemies, not some insignificant shark.

  Also, the clownfish army was known for accepting soldiers from other beast species. This was why the snakes simply assumed that he was part of the clownfish army, and the clownfish also believed that he was part of them.

  This way, he avoided arousing suspicion, sacrificing his doppelganger each time as the snakes did not hesitate to eliminate him on sight.

  Sebastian didn't encounter situations like this only once, as the fight became more chaotic, he encountered it more but with practice, he also got better at escaping from it more smoothly.

  Of course, the mana expenditure for this was extremely extravagant which was why Sebastian apart from his Mana Box, resorted to his mana control skill.

  When he became a Mana Lord, he received 3 skills and this was one of them. By activating his mana control, he was able to actively tap into the origin magic essence in the air, converting it and using it to replenish his own energy.

  This was the only reason why he was still alive on this chaotic battlefield.

  Despite the strain and stress of being on such a tight rope, worrying about falling off and dying while having to remain focused to respond immediately in case his cover was blown again, he managed to hold on.

  He managed to hold on because he had hopes that the game was about to get more chaotic. Without enough chaos, he could not accomplish his goal.

  This was why he persevered and waited, and his efforts were rewarded.

  Apart from the snakes, Sebastian was the one who felt it first. With his combined super sensing skill always kept active, Sebastian easily detected the 5 massive magic signatures that did not even bother to hide their presence.

  3 of these predators that Sebastian already identified as Red tier predators had a magic presence like all the other Red tier predators that he already encountered, the last 2 were what really horrified him.

  Their magic presence was so horrifyingly powerful that Sebastian had an even more horrifying guess. "Are they…, Black tier predators?!"

  "Oh Shit, I'm dead!"

  Sebastian didn't know the magic signature of these pinnacle predators since he couldn't even sweep his senses through the Rabbit Monarch when he met him, but he could not help but guess at this.

  He was already regretting why he decided to stay. "Dammit!"

  Amidst his inner monologues, the 5 powerful predators already arrived.

  Boom!

  The leading predator broke out, not emerge as its powerful body tore through the opening, widening the hole that was already in the zone of transition.

  Green dust and a substance that looked like smoke engulfed the water. In this time, through his senses, Sebastian discovered that the remaining 4 predators already arrived also, his heart was pounding hard and fast.

  HISSSSSS…!!!

  The first predator that emerged hissed extremely loudly as it suddenly felt like the silent trumpet of death to all living beings was finally blown.

  The green dust settled, and all 4 predators were finally revealed.

  The first predator was, a Basilisk! Sebastian was horrified!

  Having read of mythical creatures due to his fascination with the marine world in his previous life, he didn't simply know about mythical marine creatures, he also knew about other creatures of myth.

  This Basilisk was an enormously large and thick snake with an abnormally big head. Its fiery red eyes burned like a furnace, while its deadly rows of dagger-like teeth gleamed sharply like the edge of a blade as it hissed loudly.

  The second predator was, another mythical snake! Sebastian almost fainted!

  The second was a literal 2-headed serpent. This snake that was even longer than the Basilisk had 2 heads at the opposite ends of its body, both heads opened their mouth at the moment as they also exposed the deadly teeth packed within.

  The third predator was an abnormally enormous King Cobra. Almost 20 meters long with equally thick skin, this was an apex predator!

  The fourth predator was a Devouring Anaconda, Sebastian recognized it immediately as he already read about it in the advanced library. 

  This predator was like a typical Anaconda snake back on earth, just with more snapping and biting, and an enormous size.

  The fifth predator was a Mobbing Python, Sebastian despaired. According to the dictionary, this Python that was smaller than all its other companions had an iconic ability that made it notorious in Oceania.

  They were called Mobbing Pythons because of their skill that could enable this predator to temporarily break down, dividing into countless smaller devil pythons that could unleash a lot of disaster to any opponent.

  All the smaller devil pythons mobbing an opponent was what inspired their name, and it was deserved.

  Seeing all these snakes together, Sebastian easily identified them as the overlords of the Snake Kingdom though he never knew them nor did he read about them, no one told him about them either. 

  Once these 5 snakes arrived on the battlefield, a pause button seemed to have been pressed as every predator who was currently bathing in the fearsome aura of these 5 predators became petrified.

  The 5 snakes didn't care though, they had a goal that brought them here.

  Whoosh!

  Sebastian saw his fastest individual speed since transmigrating into this world. The 5 snakes moved at the same time, disappearing like the flash.

  Only a white magic light was left in their wake, and across this light were tons of dead bodies. The snakes clearly didn't care as the casualties did not discriminate, both snakes and clownfish that were on the way died.

  The predators felt even more petrified, none could move.

  Horror mixed with hatred could be seen in the faces of the petrified clownfish, while only honor, respect, and worship could be seen in the eyes of the snakes who were privileged to witness this scene.

  Even some of the snakes that died, Sebastian saw some spooky bodiless heads who still had a look of worship even in death.

  Sebastian was shocked, but unlike the others, he was not petrified.

  His brain moved, running at the speed of a supercomputer as he quickly arrived at a conclusion. "This is my chance!"

  [You have activated skill: Mega Dash!]

  [You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

  Whoosh!
