I'm a Stingray? 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
I'm a Stingray? 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
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 180 - +66,040 mana points!
[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
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 181 - Pool of 1.4 million mana points!
“Haha-” Tim released a fake laugh, “The fish planted them, huh? That makes sense.”Afterwards, he tried to force a question in, as he wanted some information. “So it is you who planted them, then… judging from the marks on your wrists, you crossed a few realms already, so you must've harvested a bunch of roots in your lifetime yourself?”“I have, yes.” Genta answered, and in the meantime she was looking upwards, and then she asked. “What year is it in Valporovus now? I've been told that time moves differently back home when we're in needle universes.” “Years…?” Timothy stretched his question, and then remarked. “I'm not sure they count the years back home, no city that I know of, at least. They just count moons.” “Oh, dear… the Religious Era then?” She grunted, she was very distressed. “I'm in trouble, I've been here for too long. According to my calculations, when I cross that portal, I'll teleport somewhere around five-thousand years back in time, or… at your contemporary time. Th
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 182 - Portal tilt
The eighteen mana roots were completely depleted, so there was no point in hanging around in this needle universe anymore. They could spend a bit more time here to mess with the giant fish, sure, but that was about all of the activities that they could do, there wasn’t anything else. Purpureus Mundi Aqus was otherwise really desolate, so desolate, that the team didn’t even understand how all the fish hadn't starved away already!This sea was barely a kilometer wide, so it shouldn't be able to support such huge fish, and yet that wasn't the case, there were plenty of them in the vicinity. This was very puzzling, sure enough, but they had to leave nonetheless, because they got more out of this place than they originally wanted. They were content, so they swam upwards as if they were satisfied girlfriends, even, their stride was rather jolly!At the surface, they met Gustav, and Tim was happy that the old lady didn’t attack his friend here. Although Gustav consumed less mana roots in com
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 183 - The Old Sea
The team beamed through the air, and made it to the vicinity of their destination in two weeks time. It was very easy to travel when they had dragons to their side, and not to mention, the dragons became a bit faster and stronger ever since their mana leveled up! A greater mana quality seems to give them very physical features, such as strength, speed, and tougher scales! This made sense.Iron Claw the Wicked has had very tough scales, which hinted that his mana quality had also been very high, perhaps several realms above the common member of the platoon that attacked it! The math was easy to follow.Anyway, the team landed in the vicinity of the Ruins of Aqumus, point being that they were about twenty kilometers away from the ruins. The team were on the shores of The Old Sea, and had made camp there for a few days.Originally they would just shapeshift, and then stride the waters, but they couldn’t leave Gustav behind, as he was their newest member who changed their calculations. He
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 184 - There's always a bigger fish
“My god… it feels so nice to have these motherfucking stingray wings again. I bet I could swim more than 100 km/h with these bad boys, faster than any fish could ever swim!” He thought, and this train of thoughts was giving him a sort of euphoria, he felt as if he was in the clouds!The fact of the matter was that plenty of fish could outswim him, even those who didn't have a strong magical arsenal to aid them, but he was avoiding all facts right now. He was in a deep fantasy land, and it might even be dangerous to pull him out of it.Anyway, the team of five managed to travel two whole kilometers already, and as of now, they were nearly five hundred meters below the sea surface. They had swam deep enough to feel a great deal of the water pressure around them, and they were very well aware that the water pressure could kill them if they pushed such limits.Caution was mandatory, however, the odds were that the other challenges which The Old Sea posed, could kill them quicker than the
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 185 - The windmill sized lighting bolt
The team continued to swim through The Old Sea. Arvena had never been to the Ruins of Aqumus before, but she firmly believed that it was easy to find the location, on the count that the ruins are huge. It shouldn't be hard to miss them, even under the sea. Furthermore, she's read enough books about it to know how to analyze her surroundings within The Old Sea, she even labeled herself an expert! Progress was inevitable. They were five kilometers away from the sea shores right now, and although they weren't in danger, this was where they met with a bit of a barricade. The sea floor was at a higher elevation here, they were up against an underwater hill of sorts, point being, they had to swim upwards, and above it! Considering that their muscles twitched while they swam upwards, it meant that this was no different from climbing an actual hill. It was tiring.However, there were benefits to this ‘climbing’, because once they swam up to the top of the hill, they started feeling a lot les

Chapter 200 - Blazing Giant Squid
Timothy strode the sea to find creatures that he could kill, he wanted to collect a bunch more system points, but it didn't take long until his motives got him in trouble!The sea didn't intimidate him as much as it did before, so he was cocky as he swam. Tim could see up to five-hundred meters even within the depths of the sea, so his confidence wasn't exaggerated, however, he still was susceptible to sneak attacks!A giant squid emerged out of the sand, and Timothy happened to be floating right above it! The squid emerged out of the sand, and was just fifteen meters below him!It flung one of its eight, fat arms towards him, but he evaded it. He Dual Casted, and swam forward at 60 km/h! Afterwards, he looked back, and noticed that the squid was well over seventy meters long, and forty meters wide! It was truly giant!“How the hell did it even hide in the fucking sand!?” He asked himself, as he stared at the giant squid.Once he noticed the sharp, fiery features on its tentacles, he
Chapter 199 - "45,000 system points"
Timothy was excited that he got a significantly higher IQ now! He was up at a scale where he would be considered a supreme genius amongst the fish world, he was one of a kind, and he'd be amongst the small percentage of absolute geniuses no matter what species he shapeshifted into! Be it a spider, a lizard, a goblin, or a human, he'd always be at the top in terms of intelligence! It was accelerating!However, intelligence didn't mean anything, if he didn't know how to put it into use. In this case, he wanted to use it so he, and his friends could survive whatever challenge was to be thrown against them after a couple of weeks. He wanted to survive The Old Sea with his friends, and surely, survival came hand-to-hand with great rewards!“I need an army,” He plotted, “Since we can't fight all these bastards in the sea without emptying our mana pools, I might as well make an army fight for us! System, can I give powers to my skeleton slaves?”Timothy asked that question, because he planne
Chapter 198 - An IQ of 170
The Extingus Breath ability was like a forcefield for Timothy, except it wasn’t as strong as Ortana's force fields so he had learned not to depend on it. This ability mainly featured a blue mist, a cloud of sorts, so it wasn’t exactly physical.This ability was meant to dissolve attacks, more than it was to stop them dead on the spot. If he breathed out a bigger, and wider Extingus Breath, the cooperative blue cloud would be able to dismantle even bigger attacks, which was advantageous, but he hadn't fully figured out what this ability was capable of, so he'd rather proceed with caution.“Might as well buy it since it can protect me from evil shit, then! It doesn't cost anything to cast it either, so I could really use it.” He said.The system acted accordingly, she initiated the upgrade sequence. Within a few seconds, Tim experienced lock jaw, and although this wasn't too painful, it was rather immobilizing, because the lockjaw paralyzed a sizable portion of his upper body! He was ha
Chapter 197 - "Timothy Te*ticles"
After these couple of successful experiments, Timothy went back to his den. His slaves tried to follow suit, but he ended up discarding most of them, particularly those bigger, useless skeletons. He didn’t want them flapping around aimlessly, without even a pair of eyes to call their own, so he disposed of them mercifully. However, he couldn’t find the strength to dismantle that little anglerfish, and the assfish that he had reanimated, it seemed cruel to kill them, so he allowed them to follow him, though he wasn’t sure what he was going to do with such useless creatures!Anyway, regardless of the ethical dilemmas regarding his experiments, Tim was still quite happy that he was able to recreate life! The MQ upgrade that he bought, may be one of the most important purchases that he had ever made, regardless of how expensive the purchase was! It was worth the points!Tim's understanding of magic had increased exponentially, and he was happy about that, though due to the same few experi
Chapter 196 - The difference between reanimation, and revival
“My very own monster… erg, fish? It's as if I'm Doctor Frankenstein, only without the creepy lightning.” He joked.What he achieved here had a lot more math included in it, and of course, he was aided by what could be considered dark magic. It was dark, because he had disturbed this little guy's watery grave, gave it eyes, senses, a brain to think for itself once more, but he didn’t give it a soul. He couldn't do that as of now.Sure the anglerfish looked happy, but Tim got sad once he remembered that this little guy's life was purely artificial. The anglerfish, and its insides in its entirety, would fade away in a few weeks if Tim didn't feed it any more mana by then, they would fade away, regardless of how realistic the little, four-inch fish seemed!By his calculations, he had to feed his little slave here, a hundred points of mana by every end of the month, or else it would die, again! It would fade away.Anyway, although the ethical aspects of his second experiment were very chal
Chapter 195 - Cheap Reanimator
Timothy created a new ability, a fully necromantic ability, even, because he was supposed to reanimate skeletons with it! He absorbed the new power in his body, and hoped that it would work like it was supposed to, because he didn’t want to spend all day tugging on strings of mana channels, regardless of how enthralling that may sound, especially since it didn't cost any mana to experiment. It was interesting, but he didn’t want to spend hours creating abilities that he would then dispose of.“Okay… I need test subjects.” He muttered.Afterwards, he slipped out of the bony den, swam nearly twenty meters away from it, and tried to put his new ability to the test! A dark cloudy substance oozed out of the barb of his tail during the attempt, but this cloud was small, because he wasn't cranking the ability up to the max. He didn’t need to.The cloud then traveled around his close vicinity, and sought out skeletons to reanimate. This part of the process was costly, he was spending two-hund
Chapter 194 - Mana Channels, and the creation of new abilities!
The tuna fish had a quick death, most of its nervous system was fried immediately, so its brain died off moments later. It didn’t suffer any pain, because its pain receptors couldn't carry out any signals, hence, even though it was necessary to kill this fish, for the team’s sustenance, the kill was very merciful. The tuna fish was then dragged towards the bony den, where it was later consumed. The fish was six meters long, so it just barely fit in their den, which in a sense was a good thing, because its fat body could keep the team fed for a week no doubt! Timothy and Skendus were the biggest fish, and the latter had decided to shapeshift into a sawfish in order to regenerate more mana a day, so the fact of the matter was that the two of them were to consume a lot more food on average. If they were to be healthy, the two of them needed at least twenty pounds of decent meat a day, just to sustain themselves! Anyway, food aside, the team were still rather terrified by the display of
Chapter 193 - Power Merging
The Mana Quotient upgrade was as painful as it was expensive! Not only did it put his guts and spine into a strain, but it also affected his brain, since intelligence was primarily located on one's brain! Timothy felt as if a viral virus was attacking his nervous system, he felt dumber by the second once the pain intensified, but he didn’t fear such foul effects per se, because he knew that they were temporary.Timothy endured the pain for a whole hour, and at that point, the pain threshold was too high for him to handle, so he fainted. Fainting was one of the best things that could happen to him right now, because the pain he felt while unconscious was reduced by at least a third! He got a bit of peace like this.The upgrade was lengthy, because it would ultimately make him different from most mages. As a fish, he would end up being almost godly after this upgrade, and if he chose to shift into a mammal again, then he'd be one of the most magically fluent mammals within the Fintelus’
Chapter 192 - MQ
Timothy usually loathed spending a massive amount of system points, or mana points come to think of it, but in this particular situation that they were in, the prior was justified. A purer mana quality on its own wasn't enough to survive the squabbles of The Old Sea, not with the team's current levels that is, so he had to rely on the grand modifications that the system offered in order to survive. With enough upgrades, even his level six mana could look and act gigantic!The purchase that the system recommended the most, was the amplification of the Dual Casting trick that he used so often! Dual Casting wasn't a power or an ability per se, it was just a thing that came naturally while a mage progressed, and in this case, the system could alter it so Dual Casting would cost less mana points to initiate
