BOOM!
Immediately after the lights in the zone of transition switched off, it was followed by a mighty quaking that made it seem like a worldwide earthquake was going on and it was ravaging the foundations of this zone.
The cause of the quaking was revealed shortly after from the loud sound that even for a sound domain magician like Sebastian caused his ears to bleed.
Heads exploded all around the transition zone like bursting watermelons!
The unlucky clownfish could not even resist when the tyrannical sound of the explosion ravaged through their body systems. Their brain could not take the sound, so they simply exploded like smashed tomatoes.
The sound of the explosion was mighty, but Sebastian who was among the few sound domain magicians here and was the strongest sound domain here was able to detect that it was not that simple.
[You have been attacked by a skill: Sound Amplifier!]
[You have been attacked by a skill: Rupturing Arteries Sound!]
Sebastian felt uncomfortable like he's never felt in a long time. His massive body felt like it was being caressed by a thousand zombie ladies intimately, it was a spooky and terrifying experience.
The sound attacks tried to attack his inner system, most especially his arteries. Sound travels through water, and the technique of this skill was to attack the enemies with sound through the blood in their arteries.
The problem with Sebastian was that as a sound domain predator, he was able to resist slightly, so instead of feeling pain, he felt this.
Not everyone was as strong or as fortunate as him, the unlucky clownfish could not even scream before they met their ends.
Sebastian was horrified as all around him, heads kept on popping like watermelons. But this was not all, this was just the start to an act that was more elaborate than anything that he expected.
After all, the explosive sound did not just come from the air.
The sound was the vanguard force, the fire was the real attack force.
Before it exploded, Sebastian briefly directed the range of his combined super sensing downward. What he saw made his blood freeze.
Beneath the zone of transition, hidden between the massive Sea Anemone was a part of it that was already rotten. Clearly, this massive organic creature was affected by poison of some sort as it was dead already.
How this managed to evade the detection of the clownfish eluded Sebastian. What mattered was that hidden inside this dead tissue were bombs, highly energetic bombs of different types that were stuffed together.
"Oh boy!"
[You have activated unique skill: Water Transmutation!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Heavy Armor!]
[You have created a magic manifestation: Compact Mechanical Shield!]
Once Sebastian wrapped himself up, it happened.
Bzzz!
The very fabric of reality seemed to have been torn off from the zone of transition as the bubbling blue and red fire erupted from underneath.
The fire spared nothing, it swept everywhere throughout this massive zone of the Anemone Domain like the plague, distributing destruction everywhere.
It took only a few nano-seconds before the clownfish that survived the first sound blast suffered the fire plague. The fire overwhelmed all the clownfish, including their powerful machines and computers as they were set ablaze.
The zone of transition quickly turned into a mini version of hell!
Screams of the shocked, suffering and burning clownfish filled the zone a few seconds later as they started dying in the hundreds every second.
At a corner of this massive zone, Sebastian already left his invisible state as he focused completely on defense. While he did this, his senses were scalded by the bright light that filled his vision from all sides.
Despite the scalding sensation, Sebastian gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that his survival would only be possible if he had the information advantage, he was the only unknown variable here, and being that was dangerous.
Under his persistence and his unrestrained pumping in of mana, his combined super-sensing skill finally broke the deadlock, tyrannically tearing through all the interference to get the truth.
Once the veil of interference was breached, Sebastian saw everything.
The Anemone Domain like the Snake Kingdom was erected upon a huge seamount. The high-grade rural settlement was made up of the numerous Giant Sea Anemones that formed all the zones, and they all rested on the seamount.
With one of these Giant Sea Anemones dying and being blasted open, Sebastian finally discovered the huge hole that was underneath.
"The Snake Kingdom!" He muttered, his tone sounding grave before becoming excited the next moment.
He became excited because he recognized that this was probably the opportunity that he needed. "The system increasing my luck never fails to impress, luck is really the strongest force in the galaxy!"
From what he saw, he easily deduced that through some weird means, the snakes were able to keep the clownfish in the dark while digging a massive hole underneath the seamount, connecting all the way to the zone of transition.
Now, this was what they used to initiate a well-timed ambush attack.
With the consecutive sound attack and the fire explosion wreaking havoc inside the zone of transition, they finally emerged.
Sebastian discovered a horrifying truth though.
The snakes didn't enter through the iconic shuttles that they were already known for, they entered through new and pristine military-grade shuttles that belonged to the Anemone Domain.
On seeing this, his eyes darkened. He discovered a familiar pattern already that he was always reluctant to remember. "Another traitor situation!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The snakes did not resolve to take it slow and steady.
With their entry, they already overloaded the weapons that were installed across the military-grade shuttle as they bombarded different corners of the zone of transition, worsening the already bad situation.
Over a thousand clownfish already died, with dozens of military-grade shuttles already being scrapped since the attack started.
At this trend, it looked like the zone of transition, this extremely important zone to the Anemone Domain already fell but Sebastian knew otherwise which was why as the fire reduced, he entered his invisible state again.
Despite the extreme mana expenditure of activating the invisibility ability of his unique skill again, Sebastian activated it because he knew that the situation was about to get tense and hectic.
He was not wrong.
Bzzz!
After being stunned for a few seconds due to the sudden attack which was probably because of a virtual attack, the powerful supercomputers and machines of the clownfish finally roared back to life.
With a loud sound that made it seem like they were isolating this zone from the rest of Oceania, powerful shield generators were activated.
As massive corners of the zone of transition became cut off from the destruction still ravaging across by the huge blue energy shields, the supercomputers also activated measures to save the dying clownfish.
Once isolated, A. I controlled multipurpose bots in the shape of clownfish were mobilized as they rapidly swam closer to the location of the dying clownfish.
Apart from administering magic first-aid treatment, these multipurpose bots employed measures to stop the fire, and with the war-time order given to them, they administered adrenaline doses to the clownfish.
At this moment, the clownfish were not expected to rest. This was wartime, and in wartime, they were all needed to give their all to the Anemone.
This was why with the adrenaline doses given to them, most of the clownfish eyes regained life as they shone brightly like those of drug addicts.
Without needing any instruction first, these clownfish already knew what to do as they all rushed back to their outposts to take control of the situation.
They didn't know what happened yet, the central command was still trying to deduce the situation, but they knew what was required of them which was to give their very best to stabilize the situation here.
The snakes knew exactly how their opponents were going to respond, and this was why they employed targeted measures to foil their plans.
The situation turned even more chaotic as the snakes struck from a distance, while the clownfish retaliated against an enemy that they could not yet see.
The situation was hectic, but it was about to get more hectic.
…
Blink!
In the central business district, inside the biggest and most decorated clownfish settlement of the whole Anemone, a pair of old, wise, sharp, and battle-hardened eyes snapped open.
Chief Councilor Crook Mane only said a single phrase.
"As expected!"
