"Phew!" Sebastian exclaimed exaggeratedly after finishing the Dictionary.
Just a few pages into the dictionary validated his reason for deciding to go through it first. The knowledge of this world that was just updated in his mind meant a lot, most especially the knowledge about the rare beasts.
Transmigrating into a pure water world, Sebastian already expected to meet some pretty messed up species but this still blew his mind.
Perhaps, due to his constant encounters with Blue Tang fishes and snakes, he already rationalized every beast in Oceania to be mutated versions of beasts from earth but this rare list corrected his perception of beasts.
Of course, he appreciated the information that was revealed about the well-known beasts but the information on the rare beasts hit more.
He already knew about Death Dragons from his system's description, but the fact that the anatomists here knew and were able to document that Death Dragons were descendants of the Necromancy Sea King really impressed him.
Without the special clue from his system, Sebastian was pretty sure that he would have never known of this secret till now.
This information alone revealed the standards of the advanced library of the anatomy department. Sebastian's eyes were already heating up when he thought of all the other knowledge of this level that was probably in the library.
Apart from Death Dragons which he already knew of and even had epic showdowns with, all the other rare beasts were rare to Sebastian since he had never encountered nor heard of them.
This was not too strange considering that his few months spent in this world were only spent in 2 regions that had faults of their own.
Sebastian would have never thought that Oceania had creatures like Wraiths. Reading about this beast sent goosebumps through his body.
Of course, when his system revealed the information about the 7 Great Seas to him, on seeing the Dungeon of Souls and consequently knowing of the Necromancy Sea King, he already expected spooky undead stuff but he always thought this was distant from him.
He was still in the Green Mist Sea, while the Necromancy Sea King lived all the way in the Dungeon of Souls, never in his dream did he expect a mutated beast like the Deep-Sea Nightmares to be here.
This made Sebastian appreciate the advanced library, even more, this was really a lifesaver to his cause.
According to the Dictionary, Deep-Sea Nightmares attack through the soul and live mostly in extremely cold regions.
With the fact that they were described as Wraith-like, there was a high chance that they were also impervious to physical attacks which was a horrifying phenomenon.
If Sebastian ever met this rare beast without prior knowledge about it, he was pretty sure that he would have been battered and thrashed for a long time before he could figure out its strengths and weaknesses.
The Deep-Sea Nightmares was not the only rare mutated beast that left a deep impression on him all of them succeeded in leaving him in dread.
Though it was mere rumors according to the Dictionary, the mere fact that the Ocean Shakers were rumored to be descendants of the Ocean King revealed to Sebastian that these were probably a more terrifying version of Death Dragons.
Their sizes were not only described as humongous, the fact that they all wielded a devour magic domain that Sebastian had never heard of spooked him the more. This was some really messed-up beast.
The next rare beast was the Devouring Jokers. The name of these beasts alone already presented a joke that Sebastian could not laugh at.
According to the Dictionary, they were clown-like beasts, clown-like beasts!
Their appearance alone was ridiculous on its own already, but their ability was even more ridiculous. With the ability to attack by manipulating emotions, Sebastian easily decided to run at the sight of any clown-like beasts.
While he felt this way, his curiosity also grew about their anatomy. What in Oceania was in these beasts that gave them the ability to manipulate emotions?
He felt the challenge of even thinking to subdue one of these beasts, but when challenged was when his passion really grew.
"I will dissect a Devouring Joker someday!" Sebastian vowed.
After the Devouring Joker was the Tsunami Shark. The fact that these terrifying fellows came from the same species as he gave Sebastian all the reason he needed to give them attention.
Compared to the Devouring Jokers and the others, the Tsunami shark was fairly boring, but their strength was the real deal.
With the ability to induce literal tsunamis with their magic domain, Sebastian envied them. "Why didn't I get an evolution route that led to this?"
Once Sebastian asked this question, he got his answer. Perhaps, it was because his magic domain did not align with the Tsunami sharks.
As he thought of this, he also made a discovery.
Did the magic domain that predators mutate decide the future evolution routes that become available to them?
If this was so, did that mean that he could access even more OP evolution routes if he managed to give his next living doppelganger a different magic domain, especially one of the advanced pinnacle magic domains?
Sebastian had no concrete proof about his thought, it just came out of the blue, he was not even sure if it was feasible but once he thought of it, he decided to research it and see if it was possible.
The example of his first living doppelganger showed that they all wielded the same magic domain as the real body.
But he could perhaps flip the board and restart the game, the same way the Atlantians did, and maybe, he could create a miracle.
As Sebastian thought of this, the hype for his 2nd living doppelganger grew in his mind. He wanted this new living doppelganger to be as OP as possible, it would be his iconic symbol for fame aside from his main body.
Whereas he created his Atlantian living doppelganger to create a connection of benefits for him to engage in his anatomy experiments more openly, he wanted to create his 2nd living doppelganger as a pure vessel of destruction!
His 2nd living doppelganger would be his Sword of Damocles! His 2nd living doppelganger would be his vessel of war!
Apart from the Tsunami Sharks, the extremely powerful Space Beasts, the ridiculously gigantic Mega Whales who he just met who were recorded to never stop growing, and the Mystery Snakes who were special blessed creatures of the origin essence all left deep impressions on him.
Of all these rare beasts though, despite all their elaborate descriptions to amplify their terror, none left a deeper impression on Sebastian than the last main rare beast that was recorded on the Dictionary.
The World Devourers!
Though no information was given about this beast, it only left Sebastian feeling more dread about it. Just the name alone sent shivers down his spine, this was clearly some badass predator!
His intuition screamed danger when he tried to envision this beast. He was pretty sure that even the clownfish had never met it, they probably only heard about it from others and decided to record it.
Despite not seeing it, not knowing its characteristics, and knowing literally nothing about it, Sebastian did not doubt that this was a monster killer.
"I hope I never meet a World Devourer soon".
The rare beasts that were listed in the Dictionary were not necessarily all that Oceania had to offer. There were probably more, but these were those found in the Green Mist Sea and those that the clownfish knew about.
There were probably even more terrifying rare beasts out there.
Sebastian was a lethal predator now, but this list curbed his arrogance a bit, there was always something stronger out there.
By the time that Sebastian finished the Dictionary, time had already gone far and he had no choice but to retreat to his residential quarters for the night.
Sebastian didn't just retreat, he retreated to give himself quiet time for preparation. The clown city was at a delicate time now, and his intuition told him that the situation could change at any moment, so he started his preparation now.
Preparations to safeguard his life, get as many benefits that he could, and also enter the zone of glory were all in his plans.
Also, Sebastian communicated with his living doppelganger.
