I'm a Stingray? Chapter 205 - The nine-week session
Originally, Tim and the team had decided to spend a month in the bony den of theirs, just so they could be more prepared to face the challenges of The Old Sea, but under the new circumstances, they decided to camp out for two months! They wanted to progress first, and survive second, but neither of these two things came without the other, so camping it out was a must!During this period, not only did they accumulate a lot of mana, but Timothy also made a massive army for the team to use! He had been very calculative about it, so at the end of the nine-week session he both had a decent army, and plenty of dark mana to fuel them! Technically he could extend his army of slaves almost endlessly, but that would be a bit of an overkill, so he decided against it.Since they were in the sea for two months, Skendus had flown out of the water to tend to the dragons, several times! He wasn't really a big fan of dragons, but he was the only one who could travel through such dangerous waters witho
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 206 - The Ruins of Aqumus
Timothy, the team, and his three-hundred slaves strode the sea, and they all had one goal in mind. They wanted to get to the Ruins of Aqumus, and there, they wanted to reap every ounce of mana that they could get!Considering how highly the ruins were spoken of, even his slaves could upgrade their mana quality, without meddling in the progress that Timothy and the team wanted to make. There should be plenty of mana to go around, though he swam about twenty meters forward, in front of everyone else, so he'd be the first in line to reap any and all mana quantities!Tim wanted to be first, because it would be weird if either of his slaves somehow ended up reaching a higher level of mana quality than him! It wouldn't only be weird, but disadvantages too, because he figured that a super-powerful undead guy would want a will of his own, rather than serve a master!The following adventures were bound to be perplexing, but mostly foolproof nonetheless, because with an army of his own, the cha
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 207 - Battle formation number 888
[+22 mana points][+35 mana points][+31 mana points][+90 mana points][+44 mana points]The system kept flashing the mana that Timothy gained, she flashed them at the corner of his left eye after every other second. This amount of mana wasn't a lot, but at least they were getting things started.Timothy's mana pool could fit one-point-eight million points, for example, it was absolutely massive, so he would need hundreds of thousands of stray mana points to circle his pool, if he was going to have a flash upgrade! It was a perplexing matter, but nevertheless, getting free mana was always exciting, so he was happy.“System, how many mana points do I need for a flash upgrade?” He asked.[Considering the great size of your current mana pool, you'd need to harvest 200,000 mana points in under a minute, in order for you to have a flash upgrade. It's a great amount, but it would've been even greater if it wasn't for the fact that your mana pool is full already!] The system beeped.“Eh… at
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 208 - Red-haired Guard Wyrm
“That's not a dragon, that's a wyrm!” Gustav corrected him.“Potato potato! Shoot the bastard!” Timothy commanded.The platoon had quite some time to attack it, given that the wyrm was still over three-hundred meters away from them. For the time being only those who could shoot lightning bolts, could actually hit the dragon, on the count of how far away it was, and these guys didn't hold back! Hundreds of bolts flew towards the wyrm, and when the wyrm reached the two-hundred meter mark, everyone who wielded fire so far, started shooting as well! This was where things started getting hot, and heavy.There was a sea of fire and lightning, melting through the actual, salty sea, as the countless attacks paved their way forwards! The wyrm didn't have any arms or legs, it was a bit of a slow swimmer, so it'll likely be killed before it even reached the one-hundred meter mark in the platoon's radius! At least, that's what they expected, but even though the wyrm was hit countless times, it di
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 209 - The Humanoids
[+450 points of mana][+328 points of mana][+799 points of mana][+487 points of mana]The system kept flashing these notifications at the corner of his eye, even after he experienced the flash upgrade. Although this amount didn't sound like a lot considering that he was within the holy, old city now, it was still a lot for an anglerfish! This was the very pinnacle of what this species could harvest.At this rate he might have another flash upgrade after a couple of minutes, and he was very excited about it! He waited for his mana pool to fill up, and in the meantime, he was looking at the paragraphs that the system flashed in front of him.[Congratulations! Your pool now bears blue, Yersinia Mana! That's the special name for having a level eight mana quality in the Fintelus’ Apprentices realm of mana! Yersinia, is an earlier version of the Bubonic Plague, and here in terms of mana quality, it too suggests explosive power, or, evolving power to be exact! It’s labeled as such, because
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 210 - The Monument
Performing covert actions was never easy, and it was especially difficult for a scheming anglerfish. He was having a hard time here!Nevertheless, it was best to be covert given the circumstances that they were in. Since a massive wyrm risked its own neck to keep Timothy, and his team away from the ruins, it was easy to put two and two together, and take the wyrm's warning seriously!It was absolutely stupid to attack the dark mages here directly, not unless the team knew what they were dealing with, and this was what brought Timothy here. He came alone, and as for everyone else, he created a temporary den where his team, and the platoon could hide in, as they didn't have to tag along! They were half-a-kilometer away from the ruins, and they were absolutely safe.Timothy's slaves have been ordered to protect his friends, and they were to carry out those orders to the end, regardless of what Timothy shapeshifted into today. Even if he turned into a mere ant, the influence he had on tho
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 211 - Hunched Humans
“Great! As if I had a lot of mana to begin with!” Tim remarked, sarcastically.The function of the pyramids in front of him was very clear now, they were purely put here to convert the abundant mana around them! It converted blue mana into dark mana!The humanoids here were practitioners of the dark, arcane arts, there was no doubt about it now. If they weren’t, there was virtually no other reason for them to convert the mana to begin with!“How the hell am I supposed to stop whatever these damned pyramids are doing?” He asked himself.Timothy had taken the responsibility of making these ruins safe to access, he assumed this task, but right now, he was stumped. There was no easy way to approach the task without risking his neck!“System…?” He pressured her, hoping for an answer, or for some help. [The pyramids are externally influenced by various sources, so I cannot help you with this matter. Considering that there’s an altar here, these pyramids might as well be down right demonic
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 212 - Exploded Geezer
Timothy absolutely dominated his six opponents, he had the upper hand, and performed accordingly. However, he was still far away from completing the mountain of tasks that he was stacking above his shoulders!For example, if he ran into an opponent that was more powerful than him, he'd be dead, so he was working on the not-dying part. He degraded one of the fresh corpses in front of him, took its skull, and started shaping it into a helmet, because quite frankly, he didn’t want to risk getting hit on the head by anything physical.Dark mages didn’t often use physical means to attack their opponents, but he didn’t want to take any chances! Since the pyramids had depleted most of his mana pool, he had to take various measures of protecting himself from danger!Timothy suited up in just under half-a-minute, and then he grunted. “Okay… this armor should be enough to prevent me from getting killed. Now I just gotta get out of here, cause these bastarding pyramids aren't doing me any good…”

Chapter 295 - "Where Birb?"
The Dungeons of the Old were difficult to explore. Every room, every corridor within the ruins was dark since it didn't have a host to maintain it, and keep it well lit. This place was ruined, after all. The darkness within the ruins was a solid contributor to why it was difficult to explore it, but there were also other, far more concerning reasons. “We're gonna run out of mana really quick,” Tim sighed, citing the main reason why these ruins were difficult to deal with.“Well, you all are using fire as substitutes for torches, so we were wasting mana anyway.” Gustav pointed out, “Let's hope we don’t have to use our fancy magic at all.”Their wishes were always against what the universe had in store for them, because just moments later, they heard a loud screech within the ruins, which likely came out of some monster. It could not have been a human. Timothy assumed that it was a bird of some sorts, a big one, and he didn’t know how to feel about it, as it seemed quite unusual for bi
Chapter 294 - Dispel
Bill did not volunteer to inspect the suspicious looking gate, he wasn’t dumb enough to do that. However, there were a few less-than-smart goblins in the platoon, and two of them ended up taking Tim’s offer.The two of them walked over to the gate, putting up a fake brave face, and they squeezed through the gap between the two doors after they got there. One of the doors had leaned forward to the point where it was close to falling over, so this gate may as well not be here, because it was barely serving a purpose. Anyway, the two of them made it through the gate, and as they lit a bit of fire on top of their palms to inspect the area properly, they discovered that they were safe. Contrary to what everyone expected, there weren’t any monsters, or humans waiting to pounce on them behind the gates.“It’s safe, boss, nobody’s dumb enough to hide behind a gate that can fall on them.” One of the goblins shouted out.“Good,” Tim answered, “I don’t want it falling on us either, so burn the
Chapter 293 - Human pancakes
Five mages stood at the entrance of the ruins, and were preparing to attack Timothy, and whoever followed him. They seemingly recognized him as the leader, be it of the group or of the platoon, so they were aiming at him primarily, and wanted to wipe him off the mountainside!From the looks of it, these humans were stronger mages too! Timothy couldn't guess their exact arsenal, but they had to be at least an entire mana realm above him! They had the advantage of the hill as well, as they were at least seven meters higher in elevation.“What'r you looking at me for? Do you think that I’m gonna fight fair?” He grunted, and then waved his arm. One of the enemy mages’ heads then exploded just a second later, and their brains ended up splattering all over their comrades! It was graphic, but he wanted to show them who they were dealing with while the surviving mages were building up their attack.[Two Advanced Mages killed. 18,000 system points have been added to your sum as a reward.] The
Chapter 292 - Mage x Mage battle!
[The four Giant Mana Guardians have all died in the hands of your servants, so as a reward, you get half of the system points that you would've gotten if you killed them yourself. Congratulations, because you won 75,000 of them.] The system beeped, a few minutes after the battle was over.She then specified, [In total, you've accumulated 88,300 system points.]“Nice,” He nodded.Timothy, the team, the Kelketuk and his platoon of slaves made their way up the mountain. With those four giants out of the way, they didn't have any obstacles blocking their path, so it may take mere minutes to reach the ruins.Of course, they were all alert now, more than ever, because they had seen what this short, visually insignificant mountain was capable of throwing against them! They were lucky enough to survive the battle without casualties, every single goblin survived, but they may not be as lucky from this point onwards, considering the fact that their mana pools were at a constant decline in regar
Chapter 291 - The Scottish Kelketuk
It took quite some convincing, but the ten-meter long Kelketuk finally agreed to accept some help. He was hurt throughout the recent battles, and was close to death, despite having the strength to stand on his own eight feet. Chewing through the rocky limbs of those Giant Mana Guardians, had been a physically taxing task, no matter how muscular the beast itself was. Some of his bones were cracked, and quite likely, he could bleed to death because of the wounds on his claws alone, if instant measures weren’t taken.Timothy felt sympathy towards the demonic basilisk, so at some point, he had even commanded it to accept help, which sounded cruel, but dying from blood loss was even more so. The Kelketuk couldn’t heal itself, as dark mana wasn’t commonly used to heal wounds, no. He wasn’t going to allow for a loyal companion to die on his watch!“Feeling better already?” He asked, and the Kelketuk simply nodded.The Kelketuk’s deeply dark mana pool was very unwelcoming of anything pure and
Chapter 290 - Giant-er
“Fucking bastard, what is that?! We almost got wiped out by the smaller ones, and now this!” He exclaimed.Timothy, his friends, and his slaves were in trouble, more than they had already been! They had to deal with three Giant Mana Guardians up until now, and as if that wasn’t taxing enough, a bigger giant appeared in the scene!It rose from the dirt, and from the looks of it, it needed at least half-a-minute time to gain its composure after sleeping for what could be over a millennia! It was slow, for now, but Timothy understood that once this monster started walking, they were in grave danger! Worse yet, he had ordered his entire platoon of goblin slaves to rush up the mountain, into the battle scene, which unfortunately meant that the giant could kill them all together - with simple attacks, even, such as walking over the slaves, or running its club-like fists across them. This thing was a giant, four-limbed tank!Timothy had half-a-minute to try and prevent his slaves, and poten
Chapter 289 - "Imma need your rib real quick"
The common mage didn't carry a shovel. Today, that fact was very inconvenient because they could use some shovels if they were to dig out the goblin slaves out of that landslide. Timothy and Gustav were left with a few options. They could either compromise their rescue mission by having tens of other goblins come over here and try to help, potentially hurting the injured men and women more than helping them, or the two of them could do this task alone, very slowly, by using their hands to shovel the dirt and rock away.After he considered those couple of options, Timothy was not satisfied. By all odds, another landslide might occur soon, on the count that the Kelketuk was rustling around with a giant, less than thirty meters away! Hell, the recoil from Arvena's fireballs might cause another landslide alone, because the mountainside's surface was that prone to collapsing within itself.“Fuck…” Tim grunted, as he became more and more aware of his options. “These guys are going to get f
Chapter 288 - Giant Mana Guardian
“What the fuck is that supposed to be?” Timothy exclaimed after he saw the giant which was made out of stone.“One of the books I’ve read said something about them, but they were described weirdly, so I thought their existence was metaphorical.” Arvena added, “A protector of mana, a stone heart, a dog to their master, dogmatic in their beliefs.”“What?” He asked helplessly.“A Giant Mana Guardian,” She said, simplifying her poetic explanation. “I’m assuming that it had been sleeping for hundreds of years up until now, and we used its warm-up routine to have this conversation. We’re basically fucked in the ass, man!”“Oh, great.” He said, and then he whistled. “Kelketuk, attack! Use your claws!”There was no point in wasting any more time. He had spotted the Kelketuk fifty meters away, and used the opportunity to launch an attack! It was best not to wait around until the giant fought back!The Kelketuk heard Timothy’s command, mostly because he also communicated with it telepathically,
Chapter 287 - "Landslide, or no landslide?"
Timothy and his remaining, one-hundred-and-ninety-nine slaves reached a consensus. They weren’t going to kill each other, which at this point he understood that it was a lot to ask for from the slaves that he had created with his own mana. He was even surprised that he convinced them to fight for him, minutes after the slaves tried to start a rebellion all together, but they reached a consensus already, as mentioned.Timothy hadn’t nearly expected to get attacked by one of his slaves today, but it happened, and so he was trying to catch up with their train of thought. Creations who were too smart for their own good, would logically end up making unique demands, and at some point, the minimal respect they were supposed to give to their master, would become optional. He made a mistake when he made them this intelligent.However, even though he could kill these slaves off right now, perhaps through the Green Plague ability alone, he chose to spare them. He didn’t want to waste his mana b
