Victory!

Blood flowed through the expanse in waves, only flesh and bones were not left behind. As the Leroy clan members continued the great purge, they made sure to eat and digest their opponents also.

All bystanders shuddered when they saw the carnage that was on display, they all hid better in their hideouts as one of the ruling clans of this expanse was wiped out without any hope of recovering.

With Sebastian and Leroy as the leaders, the Leroy clan members pursued their opponents from their territory.

They killed all the way to the Sting Tail territory. And just like the latter did to their lair, they entered the Sting tail clan lair, killed every member that was left from the battle, and spread havoc through the territory.

Demolition at its peak was the scene that was on display at the Sting Tail clan lair. Seeing that there was no more hope, the clan members tried to plead but Leroy took no prisoners.

They were like locusts wiping through a plantation field.

By the time that the battle came to an end, the scene that was left was that of destruction. The territory of the enemies was overturned, and every valuable substance in it was stolen by the victorious Leroy clan.

They didn't get to kill every single opponent on the battlefield though. The members of the Viper clan resided in another expanse, so they just retreated straight to their expanse after suffering a great loss.

The desperate survivors of the Sting tail clan had no choice but to follow. In the end, the struggle of 2 equal rivals was finally broken and a single ruling clan was established in this expanse for the first time.

Despite the victory, it was not easy for the Leroy clan members also.

They lost more than half of their numbers, a staggering loss even though they were a little unfeeling towards dead comrades.

All the survivors suffered injuries of varying degrees. It was not an easy feat fending off an attack from 2 clans, it was the miracle of Sebastian that gave them the only hope of emerging victorious.

When the battle ended, the ones with magic were drained completely. The ones without felt the same way, their stamina was drained completely.

Despite the feeling of weakness in them, they did not fail to acknowledge their savior again. Having claimed the whole expanse, the Leroy clan members chanted Sebastian and their clan head's name as they swam back to their lair.

That day, the whole expanse got to know a new name, the worker of miracles, the killer of clan heads, the flaming sword, the great white shark, Sebastian.

…

Getting back to the lair, the exhausted fishes and sea creatures went to work as they ate the remaining enemy flesh that was left floating randomly in their territory to recover their strength.

Sebastian and Leroy both shared Sting Tail's meat. Being a highly leveled sea creature, Sting Tail's meat gave Sebastian so many energy calories that he felt bloated after eating.

Dragging his body to the clan's army base, he located his corner, hovered there before falling asleep immediately.

He was freakishly exhausted, every member of the clan was exhausted, and all of them fell asleep immediately to recover their strength.

…

A few hours later, Sebastian finally woke up to see the usual boisterousness of the clan lair back. The clan members were already back to their previous activities.

From the way that they acted, it was hard to believe that they just survived a huge battle. The only evidence of the battle was the still destroyed corals and the depressions all over the lair.

As soon as he woke up, Big Group personally came to lead him to meet the clan head who was waiting for him.

Getting to his chamber, Sebastian saw Leroy sitting on his clan head chair again. The turtle still had a lot of injuries riddling its body and shell, but it was still able to move and act normally without expressing pain.

Seeing his savior, and the savior of his clan again, Leroy hovered up from his seat before his soldiers that survived the battle.

With a solemn expression on his face, he bowed to the great white shark to express his gratitude for its help. The soldiers followed their clan head's cue as they also bowed down in respect to express their gratitude.

Sebastian felt awkward, but he didn't stop it. Despite trying to suppress it in his mind so as not to awaken the bad Sebastian in him, he was proud of the achievement that he accomplished.

Even in his previous life, he was just an anatomist. Never was he praised for his expertise in dissecting and studying sea creatures most especially sharks, he was rather criticized most of the time.

But here, not only did he have the opportunity to kill and dissect as he loved, he was even revered for it.

Which other world was in existence that was better than this? To him, there was no equivalent for this, this was heaven.

After ending his bow, Leroy did not inquire of the shark's godlike ability despite being super interested in it.

He wanted very much to express his gratitude to the shark materially, but unfortunately, nothing seemed to match. Sebastian did not have adaptations that could allow him to wield weapons yet.

Left with no option to express their gratitude, Leroy instead made an oath.

"We may not be strong enough for you. But today, I, Leroy, as the leader of this clan, I vow that we would always appear in your time of need when you ask for it even if it is at the expense of our own life".

"You bought this life for us, so it's only right that we give it back to you".

This ended Sebastian's chapter in this cave. Already knowledgeable about this world during his stay here, he had no plans of staying here further.

As Leroy said, a cave like this was not fit for a great white shark like him.

He wanted to see the world, he wanted to see more of Oceania and that is what he would do. His injuries already recovered after sleeping, so he was ready to continue his journey of dissecting even more creatures.

After waving goodbye to the few close acquaintances that he made in this expanse, he finally turned and started swimming off.

He suddenly felt funny after recalling something.

"Compared to the last time when I swam like a clueless SpongeBob, I guess I can be called a master now".
