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
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 286 - Exploding Sleketons!
The Raptor Orclets were horrible creatures that harassed The Old Sea, and its borders. They were nothing short of weird lizards who shouldn't be in the water to begin with, they were invasive creatures, and the sea didn't have room for them, but yet they were adaptive as much as they were invasive!This micro universe was said to be a few thousand years old, but that may not be the case. Some of the recorded goblin history may be a few thousand years old, but this universe was a lot older than that, potentially a few million years old, even!The fact that these odd, Raptor Orclets had evolved to live in the sea, was a hint of how old the universe was. Unless the raptors found a way to adapt magically, then their grand harassment of the sea was an advantage that built up slowly, over the course of a few million years!“Shoot em, you bastards! Don't move around like old, demented ladies!” Timothy shouted.At this point he had stopped shooting lightning bolts, on the count that the enemi
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 187 - Sea Orc
Timothy kept blowing up every Raptor Orclet that headed towards him. It was a brutal way to handle things, but considering that the raptor swarm fled only once most of their swarm was wiped out, he hadn't had any other option but to fight them. Exploding their skeletons was his way of fighting them cheaply, and killing them quickly!The battle cost him well over one-hundred-and-fifty thousand mana points overall, so he wasn’t too excited about him and the team winning the battle here. Quite the opposite, it further deepened the paranoia that he felt about this sea, because if a swarm attacked them for no good reason whatsoever, he could only imagine how hard other creatures would fight if large quantities of mana were in question! With that said, each meter he swam towards the ruins, seemed like a personally signed death certificate to him!Timothy wasn't enthusiastic, but then again, he did win a lot of points throughout this battle. He ended up exploding the skeletons of forty-four
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 188 - How fast can a Sea Orc swim?
Timothy followed the Sea Orc that he was hunting, and he tried his best to keep up with the serpentine menace! This has quickly become a battle of speed, and agility, because he needed a lot of speed to keep up with the Sea Orc, and not to mention, he had to attack it as well.“Almost…” His jaws clamped.The sea orc started out swimming at a normal pace, well, it was normal in comparison to what it truly was capable of. Its fifty-foot long body knew how to maneuver the sea water to aid its speed, so the dragon's first fear-induced rush helped it gain a solid 70 km/h, which was simply unachievable for most sea creatures!Its speed was purely natural, magic didn't aid, or amplify it in any way, it knew how to flee! The dragon knew that something was wrong, and acted accordingly in order to evade danger as quickly as it could, even if it didn't know what it was fleeing from, and even if it didn't understand why its jaw was locked shut!Timothy ended up spending thousands of mana points j
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 189 - "Where friends?"
Timothy cranked the Bone Multiplier ability to the max, and attacked the Sea Orc with it. He multiplied a bunch of bones, as the name would suggest, and thus created these whole, random bones across the target's spine!The idea was simple, he wanted to make the target immobile, so it wouldn't be able to flee anymore. This was the best course of action, because after all, there weren't many other ways to deal with a huge, serpent-like dragon that could swim up to 130 km/h! He attacked.While they were in the air, huge bones grew out of the Sea Orc's spine, and they were exposed bones too. With the latter, he was finally able to pierce through the target’s virtually indestructible scales. Apparently the scales were destructible if the dragon's spine was taking all the damage, so he kept expanding the advantage that he made. He even started denting its actual spine like this, because the fake bones were making their way to the dragon’s nervous system, they wanted to be part of the dragon
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 190 - Flesh Mana
Timothy turned around in a flash, and saw something that he would rather not see. He spotted this half-a-foot tall, rat-like creature, and didn't know what to think of this. Considering that the creature also had a belly button, he got even more confused, because this had to be a mammal, rather than a rat or anything like that.“What in the name of Falakus, Firunal, and Farazal are you?!” He asked, and although he didn't worship those gods himself, he mentioned their name as a way to release his frustration. He was being dramatic.“I'm a leech, well, I'm an Albino Scavenger Leech, but let's avoid the long names. Call me Thomas.” The creature answered, and he spoke the goblin tongue fluently somehow. “I'm supposed to be here, but what are you doing in a dragon’s stomach?”“I'm looking for my friends, this orc bastard swallowed them whole! They were alive a few minutes ago, I could hear them, but now… I can't even find their bodies.” He explained.Then, Thomas followed along. “Aqus gobl

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
