The platoon made advancements towards Iron Claw the Wicked. They tried their best to sneak around him, and the main idea here was to attack the dragon while he was asleep, as it was one of the greatest advantages that they were going to get! It was less than ideal to waste any time, and yet they couldn't rush towards their battle positions, because they didn't want to be heard.

It took the platoon fifteen minutes to reach their battle positions, but thankfully they did so without facing any problems. Now, they were ready to launch an attack!

The illusionists were supposed to attack first. Skendus, and a couple of other guys who practiced illusion magic, had joined the thirty, adept illusionists that came from the Floating Pupil sect, because together they could deliver the first attack that was just a nudge stronger! This was more effective, because there was no point in dragging illusionists along to anywhere else, as they couldn't fight like the battle mages could. The adept illusio

    Timothy tried his best to nudge, crack, or even break any tiny portion off of Iron Claw's spine, he tried everything, but it didn't work. It would appear that just like his claws, the dragon’s spine could be considered iron-like as well!Considering that he just spent thousands of mana points on this attempt, he decided to stop trying. It was a failure of a plan. He was down to twenty-three thousand points of mana now too, and it was best to hold on to them!“Bastard…” He grunted, and figured that he'd rather not try the rest of his pre-necromantic powers on this beast, because they'd fail as well. He couldn’t do much alone.Since he couldn’t do much alone, he then decided to return to his group. Even though he believed that their collective attempt to kill the dragon was just as futile as his personal attempt, he still decided to re-join them. He figured that if Iron Claw launched a counter-attack, he could use their bodies as shields. He didn’t want to die today.However, before he

    Guard Master Zedim stood in front of the giant dragon, and started summoning the greatest, offensive ability to his disposal; White Flames!White Flames wasn't only a formal name of a greater ability, it was a very literal description. Fire was its hottest when it was white, this was a well known fact, purely because any mage who could shoot fireballs, wished that they could summon white fire some day as well! It was the supreme amongst supremes, and almost no creature could withstand it, especially since it wasn't a mere fireball, but rather a coating of fire instead.Zedim didn't want to use this ability unless it was his last choice, and considering the couple of counter attacks that Iron Claw the Wicked launched against his platoon, this might as well be his last choice. If the dragon attacked again, the battle would be lost, regardless of how they had the upper hand right now.To summon this ability, he had to sit down. He could be stepped on by the dragon if he sat down, sure, t

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 166 - Mouth Portals?

    In a blink of an eye, Timothy found himself in a new world. At first he couldn’t comprehend how the scenery changed from a rocky mountain, to a lush green field, but then he caught up with what happened. Iron Claw the Wicked had unleashed this wave of colorful bubbles against him, and most of the platoon, which in turn forced this change of scenery. He was alive, he was okay, but it would appear that they’ve all teleported!“That motherfucker!” He cussed, “This is another universe, a nano universe if I'm not mistaken. We barely have a sky on top of our heads, it can't be a planet.”Timothy was spot on, he didn’t take a wild guess here. Universes of various sizes were almost always intertwined with one another, he wasn’t surprised about that, however, he was still very irritated.There were a bunch of other guards here, close by to him, and a couple of dragonflies too. They all shared the same fate, they were in an unknown place, where the scenery looked so beautiful that one would al

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 167 - The Wyvern

    Timothy and Gustav were up in the sky with their lovely dragon friends. They were to explore the nano-universe around them, in hopes to find Tim's friends!“I hope you bastards didn't die on me… we're so close to removing the Mark of Death off of us, it would be sad if you died now.” Tim thought, his anxiety was through the roof.One shouldn't be depressed or anxious in the sight of such luscious greenery, but his head was steaming. If his friends died on that mountainside back on Valporovus, then the wrath he was to unleash on the city of Runimus was not only expectable, but also continuous! He wouldn't stop until he destroyed the pyramidal church entirely, and hunted down every city official as if they were ravenous, problematic wild dogs that had to be put down. He wouldn't spare anyone, so for the sake of avoiding excessive bloodshed, he hoped that his friends were alive.The green flat lands were attractive in terms of providing a good spot to land on, but the two of them didn’t

    Timothy and Gustav were more aware of their circumstances now, they knew that they were dealt a bad hand of cards. Not only did they partake in the tasks that they didn't want to do, but the city had sent them up that mountain as cannon fodder as well! The city's greater names hadn't expected the volunteers to kill Iron Claw the Wicked, no, they had simply been hoping that the dragon would kill the volunteers first, so they could spare as many guards as they could, though from the looks of it the guards hadn't been too important either. Either way, it was a death sentence for most, because even though they had hoped for the volunteers to die, death came upon the platoon completely randomly, it didn’t pick favorites, as about a hundred people died today! The battle was cruel for everyone involved.The people who could be considered lucky, were only a few, they survived the attack and could go home today, but those people were in the tens. The rest of the warriors who survived were stu

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 169 - The Pillars

    The team of four, and their dragons, flew across the sky in the hopes of providing the team with what they desired. They desired to get out of the nano-universe of Mare Draconum, but by all odds, their dragons didn't want to leave this place, no matter how sensitive they were to the team's commands, so this was a topic that everyone was avoiding.They flew for about ten minutes, and then had to dive off of a huge cliff in order to get to the destination that the dragons had in mind. This cliff featured a one kilometer drop of elevation, which was very unexpected from this world who mostly gave them lush flatlands, and normal hills to look at so far. The team was stunned when the ground below them was lower than it was supposed to be, so they held on a bit tighter.Ortana held on the tightest in comparison to her friends, she was afraid of heights. Sure she had been a messenger bird through a portion of her long life, throughout her shapeshifting journey, but she had always avoided fly

    Tim, his friends, and the group of dragons bounced through the portal, and therefore escaped the nano-universe of Mare Draconum. They were more than relieved, because considering the recent events, they'd rather not fight a dragon ever again! “That was easier than I expected,” Tim sighed, after they made it to the other side. “Let’s hope that time ticks similarly on both universes, because we can't afford the priest forgetting us. He hasn’t blessed us yet.”Despite their anxiousness to get back to the pyramidal Church of Ontarum, they otherwise felt content. Timothy was very happy that they escaped that universe without as much as a single battle, he was over the moon! He and his friends made it out in one piece, because the dragons at their disposal had helped them greatly, and the peaceful escape they achieved was what mattered to him the most right now. Iron Claw the Wicked's desperate move to kill off the platoon, failed to kill him and the team.Almost two hundred people were st

    The team of four made their way to the city of Runimus, and entered a restaurant that was the closest to the main Guard House. This was where Gustav asked them to meet, because free feast or not, he wanted to treat his friend with a big, four-course meal dinner tonight. He wanted to treat them well, because the journey in front of them may be even more perplexing than what they endured recently!The restaurant was big, and unsurprisingly so considering that the guards picked to have their feast here. Other restaurants were also holding feasts across the city, and they did so without a worry in the world, because the city’s governing body would pay for all of the free food that the restaurants were about to give away tonight!Anyway, the group entered, and met with the rest of the guards here, otherwise known as the survivors of today's battle. One would expect that a massive party would be held here, with drinks and music in order to celebrate the death of Iron Claw, but that was not

    [Congratulations, your mana quality is now at level three! This level is otherwise known as Pit Mana, and it too has a very descriptive name, because now you have a far bigger mana pool to fill, hence it being a pit.] The system beeped, she was very efficient at explaining the levels that he was on.“Let me guess, I need 400,000 mana points to fill this one?” He asked, and he was getting nervous.Instantly, the system answered. [520,000 mana points, actually. This pool is big, it’s way beyond what the common mage is used to. Hence, it's labeled as a pit.]“Well, fuck me! That's a lot.” He sighed, “I guess we won't be getting out of this mana realm anytime soon.”[The pit is massive yes, but still, either of you can accumulate that mana in a month, you can naturally regenerate it, assuming that you won't go through any expensive battles throughout the month.] The system beeped.Timothy did not want to wait for a month or more for another level-up, and he certainly didn't want to endure

  • Chapter 179 - A gift for Gustav

    Arvena finally leveled up! A magnificent blue glow erupted around her as well, and now, she was at level three in the Fintelus Apprentices Realm of mana!It was a spectacular achievement for most, but in this case, this level-up managed to only lessened her overall depression by a nudge. This was a good level to be in, but once she remembered that she had been beyond the Fintelus’ Apprentices realm of mana just a few weeks ago, it became difficult for her to be happy about this level-up.A few weeks ago, within the Forbidden Caves close to the city of Manape, Arvena had sacrificed an entire realm of her mana quality, just to kill an opponent that was stronger than her! She had summoned a Celestial Spear just to kill that dragon Saranax, and although she had succeeded, the loss of such grand mana quality was still gnawing on her conscience. She wasn't happy, and even though they found plenty of mana roots here, it was very unlikely that anyone would cross the Fintelus’ Apprentices real

  • Chapter 178 - Fintelus' Apprentices realm of mana!

    Timothy was absolutely baffled by the fact that he leveled up his mana quality, in mere seconds, without suffering the immense pain that typically came with these upgrades! He didn’t know what to think about it, he did have a flash-upgrade upgrade before, at the library of Rempegana and it too was amazing, but getting flash upgrades at these higher levels was priceless! He was beyond happy.The system noticed his accelerating heartbeat, so after a moment, she described. [Flash upgrades like this are inevitable, on the occasion where your mana pool receives such great quantities. Your mana pool adjusts itself, so as to not to disrupt this ongoing flow of mana that you're receiving, it's very useful. This is mother nature's part of making up for the ‘punishment’ that the average ascending mage goes through, so relax, and let the mana roots do their thing. Please do not tighten your anus any more than you already have, because that can disrupt the flow.]“Right,” He muttered, and did as

  • Chapter 177 - Bubonic Mana

    The mana roots kept growing, the more they fed on the mana pool that the team provided. Their mana pools were eventually emptied, which was alarming, but they still kept at it because they weren't in any direct danger right now.The team kept pouring every bit of mana that they generated themselves, and at this point the roots had grown so big that even Gustav and the dragons who were above the water, were getting every drop of their mana sucked in by the roots! The dragons didn't have many points to spare to begin with, but they lost theirs as well.Each root was as thick as a tree now, as most of them were four feet wide, while their ending tips were six inches wide! They were gigantic, and one could say that it was difficult to find roots like this under natural circumstances, no. The only other root that Tim and Ortana had seen, for example, was tiny in comparison. Eighteen of these thick boys were bound to make their mana quality godly!“Just a few more minutes… the roots should

    After about ten minutes of rolling around on the dry rock they were on, everyone in the team, apart from Gustav, managed to shapeshift! They had been in a sub-liquid-like form all this time, because that was the key part of the process, but this part didn't bother them whatsoever, because it wasn’t painful at all. Having sub-liquid bones and flesh for ten minutes was exceptionally painless, it was even therapeutic actually, because even their light joint pains disappeared during that period.Anyway, once they shifted, they left their backpacks behind, and jumped in the water quite fearlessly! They didn't fear these ancient creatures of the deep, because if their understanding of this time period was correct, then the fish within the sea here didn't have any magical powers at their disposal. The fish were just big, and hungry, which was the main way for them to be threatening, but that was about it.The latter wasn't too big of a challenge for them. Each and every member of this group

    The team jumped through the portal, and their dragons followed suit! They were very excited to harvest the benefits of the needle universe in front of them, they wanted to get as many mana points per hour as they could!However, once they passed through the portal, they were stunned by the multiple shades of blue that immediately pierced through their pupils. This shade was unexpected, because this universe was as red as a rose the last time they were here. They hadn't seen a single spec of blue within it before, but now, it was all they could see!“What the hell?” Tim blurted, and the rest followed suit with their curses.There was a sea of sorts in front of them, and this was very perplexing, because a one-kilometer wide universe wasn't supposed to have a sea. It was too small, it wouldn't be able to sustain it, nonetheless create it under natural circumstances!“I guess that's why the portal had ‘Aqus’ in its name. This is as watery as things can get.” He muttered, but no one under

    Timothy couldn't ignore the sensation he was feeling, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to it. He felt capable of summoning a portal that would lead him to the needle universe of Purpureus Mundi, and moments later, he decided that this was exactly what he wanted to do!Arvena was close to him, slicing through the boar meat, so he had to step away from her, for the sake of not compromising their meat supply with a random portal. It was best to be safe.“Let’s hope that the gods aren't playing tricks on me,” He mumbled.The following steps were purely instinctive, they were natural, and he felt as if he had lived with this ability for a hundred years now! It was a weird feeling. First he put his arms in front of his stomach, and then he got his hands very close to each other, but he didn’t lock his fingers together, he kept them an inch apart. “Purposes Mundi Aqus,” He whispered, partially against his own will.As a result, a tiny, black cloud appeared in between his hands! Its shade was as

  • Chapter 173 - Gread, Golden Mana

    Three hours after midnight, Timothy successfully improved the quality of his mana. He now had the honor to identify himself as a bearer of Great, Golden Mana, and he was very excited about it! Despite the name, this didn’t mean that his mana had a golden color now, it was still as blue as the ocean, but it still was a great level to attain. This sort of mana quality was also known as level seven, and as of now, he only had to pass through another level, the eighth one, and then he'd have the opportunity to escape the God's Punishment Realm of mana once and for good!“Oh… my god.” He grunted, as his spine cracked tens of times while he tried to straighten up, and then he muttered. “Whatever it is like to get chewed up and swallowed by a Demon Beetle, I understand it, this has to be a similar feeling.”Timothy felt like all sorts of things. He felt like he was hit by a big truck, by an airplane too, or any other vehicles really. He felt like he was run down by all of them, and rightful

  • Chapter 172 - The Tar

    Timothy, Skendus, Ortana, Arvena, and Gustav explored Valporovus together. Their target was clear, they wanted to get to the Ruins of Aqumus, with the hopes of accumulating great amounts of mana there! The team has been on the air for a couple of days now, their dragons really came in handy in terms of proper transportation, so it wouldn't take long until they finally reached the ruins, it may take them a couple more weeks. They were very enthusiastic to reach the ruins, though one couldn't say that their progress, regarding mana quality improvement, has been slow. The team was doing fine, and with minimal trouble throughout their flight, their mana had mostly been accumulating!Since their mana accumulated, the weakest members of the team could upgrade their mana quality soon! They could either choose to initiate an upgrade, or spend the mana over a period of time, they had those couple of options. The latter option would be less than ideal, because a better mana quality would do th
