As soon as the blood-red eyes of the Leviathon clashed with the pitch-black eyes of the Megalodon, sparks seemed to erupt in the water as it seemed like a visual tug of war just started.

  The narrowed eyes of the Leviathon narrowed even further.

  In myth, Leviathans were known to have high intelligence and in Oceania, Leviathons were also known to have high intelligence.

  Once they grew past the young stage of the purple tier, their evolution was not just a simple growth of strength, it was a growth of character, personality, and intelligence, it was an all-rounded growth.

  This Leviathon had lived over half a century already. Compared to other pinnacle Red tier predators, his life was short but his intelligence and strength were stronger than all those century-old monsters.

  This was why he did not blindly decide to escape once he detected a part of his mighty strength being suppressed once the green light entered his body.

  For the past 24 hours, this Space Beast had been restless as his current environment no longer felt safe to him.

  His intuition was not specific, but he faintly felt that he was in danger.

  The only reason why he didn't escape already was his lack of experience. This Leviathon may be extremely intelligent, but without experience to base his intelligence on, he was still limited in a lot of ways.

  Throughout his 50+ years of life, he had never entered a situation where his life was seriously threatened so the danger was kind of strange to him.

  This was the reason why he was caught off-guard.

  Yes, he was caught off-guard but he adapted to his circumstances immediately. On noticing that the strange green light suppressed his powers down to the purple tier, he felt alarmed but not hopeless.

  He was already overlooking the Megalodon that was currently swimming towards him. In his opinion, this Megalodon was not his real opponent, his real opponents were in the dark and were the ones that he should worry about.

  Sebastian's purple tier aura felt too weak for him to take him seriously.

  Even if an ape lost all his hair, he would not be seen as a human. The same thing applied here, though his strength was suppressed to the purple tier realm, inherently, he was a Red tier predator.

  He got prepared for battle, his nerves already stretched tight, ready to send nerve impulses to respond to any sudden movement from the hidden enemies.

  He focused all his attention on the hidden enemies, all his senses blasted out, penetrating the surroundings to try detecting the hidden enemies, he kept this up until the Megalodon finally attacked.

  [You have activated bloodline skill: Breath of the Sound Megalodon!]

  BOOM!

  Having been in the Space Beast's shoes all his life as a purple tier predator, enduring the feeling of seeing other purple tier predators as not worthy opponents, Sebastian understood exactly how the Space Beast felt at the moment.

  That was why he decided to send a wake-up call to this Leviathon through his first attacks. The first one clearly did its job as the massive Snake Beast's blood-red eyes finally turned to look at the pitch-black eyes of the Megalodon again. 

  The Leviathon was shocked, how can such power come from a purple-tier predator? Despite his doubts, he reacted immediately.

  This massive beast finally moved his 4 humongous webbed limbs, hitting them at the water with force as a tsunami seemed to have been induced.

  Sebastian's attack was a sound attack, this was deliberate since it reduced all of the Leviathon's hopes of dodging it to nothing but attacking it back or defending.

  This was why the Leviathon defended.

  With the flap of its limbs, as the water raged like a tsunami was rising, this massive predator opened its large maws and screamed soundlessly in the direction of the sound attack.

  No sound could be heard, but to Sebastian who was a purple tier sound domain magician, he could feel the invisible ripples that were traveling through the water and they were lethal.

  This was a space wave skill.

  The waves of the spatial skill collided with the sound waves, then every ear went deaf for a few seconds.

  BOOM!

  Sebastian despite being a distance away from the heart of collision was affected, the Leviathon was affected also as both predators jerked backward.

  The shockwaves and sound waves of the collision dealt a 2-fold attack to not only the both of them that were fighting but also spread an annihilation wave throughout this region, slaughtering every organism that stood in its path.

  [Passive Skill has been triggered: Healing!]

  With this passive skill triggering, Sebastian's horrifying recovery speed kicked in as he recovered from the effects of the collision in just a few seconds.

  He recovered slightly before the Leviathon, and without even contemplating his choice, he added another skill to send the right message again.

  [You have activated skill: Mana Empowerment!]

  [You have activated skill: Rasengan!]

  Woo…!!!

  If the first time was a fluke that left the Leviathon confused, the 2nd time finally succeeded in sending the right message to the Leviathon.

  This massive Space Beast no longer showed shock, but amazement as its intelligent eyes surveyed the massive blue ball of mana that was now shooting towards his direction like a moving meteorite.

  The speed of the moving mana ball was horrifying, which was why he only looked at it in amazement for a second before he finally reacted.

  "Space Wall!"

  The Leviathon spoke for the first time.

  Once he spoke, the water space seemed to shrink as a massive amount of the space energy in the water was harnessed.

  The next moment, silvery-blue energy lines started revolving around the body of the Leviathon. His mana presence increased exponentially as the silver-blue energy lines finally converged together to form a massive silver space shield.

  Sebastian's Rasengan collided with the shield with force.

  BOOM!

  Once again, a sound that could burst eardrums was induced.

  A storm seemed to be raging at the moment, or dominoes were being blasted as the 2 skills ground at each other before finally negating each other.

  Once they negated each other, the horrifying amount and quality of mana that just engaged in the tug of war finally erupted at the surrounding in the form of a large area shockwave.

  The aftereffects took even longer this time, destroying even more and harvesting a lot more lives before it finally slowed down.

  By this time, Sebastian already stopped swimming not too far from the Leviathon's position as the interference from the shockwaves finally dissipated.

  When Sebastian's pitch-black eyes pinned the Leviathon now, he no longer detected any scorn which made him secretly nod his head in his mind.

  The Leviathon's eyes were now filled with seriousness and zeal for battle.

  This intelligent predator already understood. Seeing the strength that Sebastian displayed, and the fact that the hidden enemies still hadn't appeared, he finally understood his current situation.

  His escape route was already blocked, now, he was nothing more than a training target to this Megalodon.

  The situation was extremely infuriating, but it only induced his anger and will to teach this Megalodon a lesson that it would never forget.

  "If a battle is what you want, get ready, because a battle is what you will get".

  "Space Domain Skill: Flames of Justice!"

  Boom!
