  Sebastian knew of killer moves, he's read and heard of killer moves.

  Though he was someone whose sole attention was focused on his shark pets and anatomy in his previous life, he loved reading novels too to kill time. By reading novels, he read of killer moves.

  He didn't know if any of his attackers was intelligent and genius enough to create a killer move, but he thought of this when he was still trapped and huddled up in the hole.

  Despite thinking hard, he was not able to arrive at a solution to counter killer moves. That was why they were called killer moves, the variables were too much to speculate, it could be anything.

  In the end, he resigned to embrace death if he faced one.

  This was supposed to have been the case because the old toad's furious killer move would have cleanly wiped away his remaining health points without compromise, but another variable came into play.

  During his rabid and furious counterattack, after dealing serious damages to both the Hawk Eagle and the old toad, though the remaining 2 opponents were wiser, he still succeeded in severely injuring another.

  He severely injured the Devouring Cobra who had the greatest weak point of them all. In his hyperactive state when he deduced the weak points, the Cobra's weak point was so glaring like a light bulb glowing in a dark environment.

  Close to the most important organ of its body, the Devouring Cobra suffered injuries that resulted in residual internal injuries at the same point in its body.

  Due to this, it could not exert its full strength in battle.

  Calling this organ the most important of its body was no joke, but Sebastian ruthlessly attacked this organ. He rammed his enormous body against the Cobra's reproductive organ, ruthlessly crushing it.

  Ouch!

  It was a painful and extremely effective attack, but it also succeeded in making the Devouring Cobra turn rabid just like Sebastian.

  Just like a man losing his reproductive organ behaves like someone whose eyes are filled with hot pepper, so also did this Devouring Cobra behave.

  Its red eyes glared at Sebastian for revenge never to leave again.

  It ignored any misgivings, bypassing its stranger helpers in this battle as it rushed towards Sebastian. Its frenzied offensive would have succeeded in ending Sebastian's life, but it coincided with the old toad's killer move activation.

  In the end, it moved too fast, entering the way just after the old toad released its killer move. Instead of Sebastian, it took the full brunt of the killer move attack head-on just like a scapegoat exiled to atone for sins.

  As soon as the glowing purple mixed with green dangerous tongue adaptation hit its skin, its skin was torn apart.

  From that point of impact, the Devouring Cobra was directly dissected into 2 as large amounts of blood came pouring down to dye the seawater red.

  While the Cobra hissed in pain, the killer move continued forward unhindered. The tongue adaptation hit the nearby cliff wall with force after moving forward a little distance as a hole was torn through the cliff immediately.

  This was when the tongue's fearsome momentum finally died.

  "A tunnel!"

  Sebastian's dying eyes immediately brightened like a torch on seeing what was revealed after the tongue hit the cliff wall with force.

  Without a doubt, the remaining 3 purple tier predators and Sebastian were intimidated by the power that was just displayed by the old toad, but this tunnel appearing was like a healing tonic to Sebastian.

  Of course, he already planned to follow as changes came and that was exactly what he was going to do.

  He still didn't trust his luck, this tunnel appearing after the old toad's attack just seemed too good to be true after all that he already experienced but Sebastian still chose it rather than waiting for death.

  [You have activated skill: Triple Reverse Swim.]

  [You have activated skill: Advanced Dash.]

  [You have activated skill: Battering Ram.]

  Sebastian rapidly activated his 2 swimming skills, even adding his battering ram skill to increase his speed further. 

  This was to escape the furious counterattack of his enemies, most especially the old toad who just failed to kill him despite expending a ton of effort to activate his killer move.

  He was not wrong, all 4 purple tier predators attacked anxiously as soon as they saw the tunnel. They already witnessed first-hand how slippery he could be despite his enormous size, they wanted to end him here and now but could they?

  This was a question for later, now was to focus on attacking.

  Boom! Boom!

  The sounds of the attacks landing at the cliff walls were so loud, seeming like those of exploding dominoes as the cliff wall revealed cracks. Despite all their efforts, Sebastian slipped away. 

  His health points were now at an extremely dangerous level, below 30 points already but he was relieved as he temporarily escaped inside the tunnel.

  Knowing that his enemies would not let him off and were probably already coming for him, Sebastian did not dare waste time as he escaped deeper inside the tunnel to face whatever was waiting for him inside.

  He only swam for a few meters inside before the tunnel started expanding, the red walls of the tunnel turned redder as it now seemed that he was swimming into the heart of the volcano itself.

  Even the temperature increased slightly which he was able to endure only because of his Fire Skin adaptation. If he received another stacked damage from heat, he was not sure if he could survive for 2 minutes more.

  As he swam deeper inside the enlarging tunnel, he observed more things.

  For some strange reason, what seemed like dust started filling the walls of the tunnel though the tunnel was underwater.

  The deeper Sebastian swam, the thicker the dust became. From his first casual outlook to them, Sebastian became solemn, this was spooky.

  It took him about 3 minutes before he got to the tunnel's end, at the end, the tunnel expanded into a vacant wide cave.

  Sebastian had no time to observe his surroundings properly, this was because the scene in the middle of the cave was just too eye-catching.

  He finally knew where the clouds of dust came from, they came from inside the cave.

  They were not actually dust, they now seemed more like pale yellow cobwebs. In the middle of the cave, the thick cobwebs intertwined from the cave floor to the top, covering the whole cave and forming what seemed like a prison.

  This was a cobweb prison!

  Seeing this, Sebastian instantly remembered common knowledge from his previous life. It was common knowledge that spiders set their cobwebs as prison traps, then they wait patiently for their prey to be caught in these webs.

  "Spiders…, spi-spiders!"

  Sebastian's eyes widened the next moment. His pursuers finally caught up to him but he did not pay attention to them, he rather looked up.

  It was at this moment that ominous flickering red lights started appearing to illuminate the cave. In a few seconds, over a hundred of these flickering red lights already appeared which granted perfect illumination to the cave.

  This was when Sebastian saw them clearly, spiders, mutated spiders with long legs and strange fangs that jutted out of their rough mouths.

  Hundreds of these fellows were in different places in the cobweb prison.

  At this moment, the 4 pursuers who followed Sebastian in immediately knew that something was wrong. They were screwed!

  The spiders collectively looked at them before opening their mouths wide.

  Shriek!
