As soon as the battle came to an end, the Great White Sharks of the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team finally pulled themselves out of the magical influence that they were under for the past few minutes.

This was a magical influence that they could not explain nor describe. Tosh, Verni, and Shanks felt it the most, this feeling indeed felt like heaven.

For the first time in their lives, they felt alive while hunting prey.

When Sebastian first started detailing his hunting plan before them, though none of the sharks protested, most of them still couldn't help but feel that such meticulous procedures were unnecessary.

Well, after the first major hunt, they discovered how wrong they were and how right their team leader was. They discovered the power that was hidden in meticulousness and planning.

Hunting in a set-up where they were divided into units with clear and finely divided purposes, they felt and fought smoothly like the cogs of a machine.

In this huge machine, Sebastian was the artificial intelligence that controlled the whole body. The unit leaders were the main machine parts like metal arms and others, while the remaining Great White Sharks formed the cogs of the machine.

This way, they hunted as precisely and terrifying as a machine.

For some reason, these sharks couldn't help but feel a sense that history was slowly being formed with them as the ancestors who heralded it. While they felt this, they heard a phrase inside their minds also.

"The Great White Machines!"

Yes, this was exactly how they felt in the previous battle, like war machines. And of course, this sound didn't come from nothing. Sebastian induced it through his sound control skill as he felt that the atmosphere was right for it.

From the onset of the battle, despite the terrifying number of enemies that were before them, they held the upper hand, controlling the situation at the pace and accuracy of a machine.

But of course, in the end, they were not machines. This was because of the casualty that appeared on their side from the previous battle.

Despite all the counter-measures against casualties that Sebastian set up, there was still this small and deadly word called a mistake. 

Consumed with the passion for battle, one of the sharks was unable to be saved by the support team till he died to the powerful jaws of a mutated Wolfish. 

This was the only casualty from their side in the previous battle, and this could not take over the feeling that they felt in the battle.

Dying was not a strange term to these sharks, it was more like a common daily word instead. Great White Sharks of the clan die every day, and the example of the Gigantic White hunting team was clear to see so why fret about the dead?

Instead of worrying about the dead, they would rather think of the next prey and the next battle experience with team units.

Seeing the look on the sharks' faces, Sebastian revealed a secret sharky smile. He finally officially got team members inside his hunting team.

Those sharks that already joined his team could leave if they were not satisfied after the first hunting experience with the team, but the look on these sharks' faces said that they couldn't wait to battle more.

Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief before ordering the sharks.

"Pack and keep the food into your dimensional magic ring".

During the hunting, each of the sharks also used the opportunity to feed and fill their stomachs, so now all the meat floating in the water was for keeping.

Without a doubt, they got a huge haul of meat this time and coincidentally, they were able to kill some mutated Cobras which meant that they could contribute to the mutated Cobras mission at the same time.

Sebastian didn't use his inventory to join in the food keeping, he let his team members do it as a crazy idea started cooking up in his mind.

Instantly, he felt excited which was a trait of his when crazy ideas start coming with force. This time, his idea was to open Pandora's box. 

After going out of the cave, for the first 30 minutes, all the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team encountered were lone predators and small gatherings of predators which they easily killed together.

This was an encounter that was not too dangerous or exciting, showing that Sebastian's luck seemed to have been reset too normal.

After those random encounters, they proactively sent the scout unit sharks to go out to provoke other predators. The huge convergence of predators after that was the result, and despite this, they emerged victorious with only one death.

This also showed that Sebastian's luck was normal again.

The only problem was that Sebastian was no longer satisfied with normal. After this first true large-scale battle experience, most of the sharks that survived already evolved in subtle ways that made them even more deadly.

This evolution was what was called experience. And for the sharks in the hunting team to get more of it, they needed to get embroiled in battle more.

To others, it may seem like a problem to increase the encounter intensity and danger level but to Sebastian, it was just a matter of… Luck!

"System, decrease my luck to the lowest possible realm".

As soon as Sebastian ordered this, a grim but excited smile enveloped his shark face as he anticipated the response from his system. He was not disappointed, his system complied with his wishes.

"Everyone be careful, we are about to…"

Hooo…!!! Hooo…!!! Hooo…!!!

Instantly after the system answered, before Sebastian could properly warn his team, a loud sound like those of breaking consecutive weird trumpet sounds echoing through a large bowl reverberated.

This sound seemed to stir Oceania's laws of nature itself, at times sounding smoothly and gently with a cool melody, while at other times fluctuating to high decibels that it felt like a child wailing at a microphone.

The fluctuations of this melody affected the surrounding green glow of the sea, making the glow brighter with the sound increasing in volume, and glowing lesser when the sound became a cool melody.

All the sharks were shocked, Sebastian also. "So fast?"

Sebastian was surprised at how fast the effects of bad luck appeared, and the next thing that happened showed that whoever was inducing this sound was not a gentle smiling trumpeter but a deadly aggressive predator.

The sound waves in the water seemed to be the sense organs of this predator. Immediately after the waves came into contact with the sharks, they changed before turning into a full-fledged melody-less sound blast.

Boom!
