“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

    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…”

    Timothy surfed down towards the spot where that old man's corpse was supposed to be, and inhaled the numerous powers that the said corpse had left behind. Initially he expected to absorb two or three powers, considering that each essence of these powers was pitch black, and therefore looked identical to one another, but that was not the case. He absorbed seventeen new powers, or, fractions of those seventeen powers at least!“Hell yeah!” He shouted, as he saw the system list out the numerous powers. “That geezer was fucking amped! Too bad he didn't have anything that would help him resist my thunder bolts, hehe.”Timothy celebrated even though he was in the middle of a battle, and worst of all, this battle just kept escalating! Other dark mages had heard the commotion, or the thunderbolts, so he was quickly surrounded by fifty men and women!“How many of you bastards are down here?” He grunted, and then he tried to pave an escape route for himself.Timothy was successful with his plan

    Timothy shot down three blue planktons. He was very effective at killing them, however, the system wasn't giving him any points for it. She just accumulated the points that he had earned by killing those Hunched Humans earlier on.[You've accumulated a total of 49,000 system points. The Hunched Humans that you killed today, really buffed up your sum.] She beeped, but Timothy didn’t care much for these points, because he didn’t like the number four.“Good,” He said, and continued attacking other planktons.There were hundreds of them in front of him, and he attacked even those who weren't bothering him. He assumed every plankton was an enemy of his, so they had to be destroyed! He killed tens of them, and at some point he got bored of doing this, so he stopped killing them. His decisions weren’t thought out all that much.However, it didn’t matter what he did to these planktons, as long as he remembered the main plan! Regarding that matter, after what felt like an eternity later, he dec

    Timothy snuck out of the hole that he had crawled in, and he came out of his hiding spot with a plan in mind. He was going to remain in hiding, yes, but the most important part of his plan was to snipe the Hunched Humans in front of him, one at a time! He couldn’t face all of them alone, so it was best to be sneaky about this, he had to be cautious.The idea to kill them all, wasn't exactly new, but it was still contemporary. It stemmed from the fact that he had to make this place safe for his friends to enter, because they're yet to see the full benefits of these ruins, and he didn't want to deprive them of these benefits, it would be unfair! Once he killed the tens of dark mages that were working in the area around him, he could then bring his friends here, safely!“Haha! You lonely bastard!” He celebrated, after he killed a dark mage who had separated himself from their group.Timothy was using the Bone Multiplier ability to get the job done, as it was the most effective power if h

    “Demons, eh? I'm gonna put this aside for now.” He decided, as much as this decision hurt his curious nature.Timothy continued to browse through the various powers that would let him summon other creatures, and or ghosts, and he was really impressed by them! He never used abilities like these before, so he didn’t want to rush with them, as he needed some time to figure out the mana channels within the essences of the abilities if he was to create something of his own, something dependable. “A cow? Why the hell would they summon cows?” He cackled, as he observed one of the dark abilities. “And why is this shit considered a dark ability?! Shit’s making me think that the cow produces poisonous milk!”This was not the best time to summon a cow, considering that he was underwater, so he avoided it. Instead, he focused more on the fact that he got a good, comprehensive idea of how summoning abilities were categorized. It had four categories that he was aware of, meaning that a dark mage

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 217 - Sarinam, son of Sarinus

    The shere cognitive ability that came with creating a power of his own, could make him the most powerful stingray that ever strode the seas! He was very happy about it, but in a sense, he also became a bit demotivated every time he tried to create a new power.The more he twiddled with the knotty, mazy channels of mana within an essence, the more he understood how difficult, and limitless this craft was! This demotivated him, because he was smart enough to understand that although he was becoming skilled in this craft, he still knew nothing in a wide-scale of things!There were thousands of powers in existence, a fraction of them belonging to experts, and he was far from learning the mana channels within those advanced powers! Sure his cognitive abilities would give him an edge against his current, common enemies, but as far as simple examples would go, he was simply an unremarkable scientist. Smart, but with no great discoveries!“Looks like I will remain as Timothy Testicles for a w

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 218 - "6,000"

    Timothy got the upper advantage in battle, regardless of how stupendous, and sudden his method may have been! There were still a few, strong dark mages within the bunch, but they weren't powerful enough to kill him, so their lives were at his mercy, and he wasn't planning on being merciful today, considering that this entire group had been looking forward to him being punished! Their death was inevitable. Timothy exploded Sarinam’s head, and used the fractions of his skull accordingly! He separated the skull into forty-nine, bullet-sized fractions, and shot at the mages with them, piercing their brains in mere seconds!This was the simplest way to attack them, and it was cheap too, which was handy, considering that these ruins were yet to fill up the dark side of his mana pool. He needed a moment to replenish his mana properly, but that didn't matter much right now, as he was already succeeding with what he had. He killed every one of them, using their leader's skull as a weapon - Co

    Timothy knew when he was beaten, or in other words, he understood that there were measures he could take in order to avoid being beaten. He had to use this window of time he had in order to avoid certain doom.It was impossible for him to win a fight against three Arch Mages, and tens of Expert Mages, he wouldn’t even dream of it. This was impossible in any universe, and under any circumstances or calculations! He could not win against them, and he decided not to try at all. He had to flee!“Damn… no wonder that giant wyrm was trying so hard to keep us away, this place is a mess! I'm glad that I came here alone, or else we could've all died.” He muttered.However, despite this massive pile of boulders he faced in the path of his ascension, he still had a bit of time to make the best out of these ruins! He could bring his friends here, and his goblin slaves, in order to have them experience several flash upgrades! He was sure that this process wouldn't take more than an hour, as the fl

    Garry was led to the burrow of the groundhog he befriended. The burrow was close by, several meters away, and it didn’t quite look appealing from the outside, which was expected, as the burrow only had a couple of holes that they considered entrances.Well, one entrance was a fake one. It led nowhere, and it was used to keep predators busy, such as foxes.The other entrance led to the deep interior of the burrow, and quite frankly, Garry was astounded when he squeezed into it. This was no mere home with weak, dirt walls to hold it up, no, as everything within the burrow was enhanced by a six-inch layer of carved stone! The stone walls within the burrow weren’t placed randomly. They weren’t bumpy, but rather, they were smooth, and had these rows of symbolic words carved into it with a language that he could not understand. Nevertheless, he was impressed.“Woa…” Garry sighed, as he looked at the walls around him.“Why are you loafing about here?” The guiding groundhog asked. “This is o

    As of recently, Garry was at the pinnacle of his life! He became an Arch Mage at a fairly young age, young for a demonic basilisk, at least, and ever since he got to this rank, he had eased up on a lot of his beliefs or principles, and was just enjoying his life.In hindsight, he didn’t care much to progress into the following rank, which was that of an Arch Magus. He figured that such a title was years away from him, if not decades, so he simply didn't think about it much. He wasn't worried that he stumbled into another mana bracket as soon as got to the third level of the seventh realm of mana. He was okay with it.Initially, one of the main reasons he chose to stay in this universe rather than going back to the universe of hell, was because he wanted to help Timothy, his former summoning master, progress. He felt indebted to help Timothy, because he had saved him from deadly wounds back in those old ruins, so he chose to stay.However, he couldn’t help Timothy progress all that muc

    “Freedom… it outweighs everything in the world, be it mana or gold.” She thought, as she breathed in the crisp air at the crack of dawn.Fortana was up in the sky, along with her dragon, and she was now about forty-kilometers away from the City of Fik. She decided to leave the city for a short while, for two reasons.Firstly, she and her team were stuck in the city for an undetermined amount of time. Timothy said that they’d be stuck in the City of Fik for around a month, but she figured that they’d be stuck there for several months, and she could not remain stationary for that long. She spent most of her life stuck in the Dungeons of the Old, and now that she had gotten a taste for freedom, she could simply not remain in one place for long, otherwise she would either sink into depression, or suffer through wave after wave of anxiety. She didn’t like it.The second reason why she left the city was primarily related to her self-absorbed need to improve her arsenal. Most Expert Mages ha

    The eight-hundred Expert Mages that joined the frontline were quite capable. They were very useful on the count that Timothy and his team spent a few hours nudging them in the right direction, and once they got a hang of what to do, there was no stopping them!Ten more shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orcs had tried to attack the city before sunset, and the Expert Mages, otherwise known as the city's soldiers, had killed them all! They killed them without losing a single man or woman in the exchange of attacks.They discovered that the giant orcs had this odd ability to toss exploding fireballs around almost randomly, but they worked around it. Ten mages shot fireballs at the giants to overwhelm them, essentially blind them, and then twenty mages snuck below the line of fire, and froze the giants solid! This method worked like a charm, and Timothy had helped them develop it, so the mages didn't lose arms and legs during their many fights.The dark giants helped them. Fortana insisted for the

    Timothy needed about ten minutes to explain to Cornelius everything that had happened over the past hour. It was quite difficult to explain such a complex matter to a man that did not care, but he got through to him eventually. At the end, Cornelius bluntly added, “I understand. You accidentally killed what, like five-hundred soldiers? It happens.”Furthermore, he added, “But if you want to mask your mistake properly, you best add a couple more frozen giants. You can sell your story easier to the city officials if you say that five giants went neck to neck with the city’s best mages.”“Right,” Tim nodded, and then he communicated with Fortana telepathically, and got the tip across to her, even though she was forty meters away. “Add two more frozen giants. It’ll be more believable.”While Fortana got into work, he turned to Cornelius, and asked, “You don’t care about this city at all, do you? Genuine question. Are you only loyal to yourself?”“I’m only loyal to my pool progression, an

    “What the hell was that! Aren’t your giants supposed to be under your control?” Tim pressured.Rattled, Fortana answered, “They are under my control. However, if hundreds of people charge at them, they’re gonna defend themselves no matter what I say. Those stupid bastards dug their own grave.”“We have a big problem here,” He said. “Anyone who can put two and two together will think that we killed the soldiers. We cannot afford to be banished from the city.”Fortana was aware of that, and for a moment she felt helpless, however she then came up with an idea that sounded plausible. She swiftly created a giant, one that looked a lot like the Ancient Sea Orcs that they’ve been killing, but she avoided giving life to the giant, and just froze it in place.Afterwards she created two more of these replicas, and placed all of them in front of the soldiers along with the first, frozen giant. By all means, she was trying to fake a battle scene.“There you go,” She said. “The sea orcs froze the

    The barricade of ice that Timothy had created was holding strong. Now the barricade wasn’t much taller than the sea itself, but it was dense, it reached almost at the bottom of the ocean for the most part, so it was a great tool in terms of keeping the Ancient Sea Orcs away. The ice barricade may even last several days, on the count that the temperature around, and within the ice was quite low. The mild summer rays would need days to melt through it.Anyway, Timothy had hoped that the system would inform him that he had successfully killed one of these sea orcs, through the barricade alone. He was hoping that he had frozen one of them solid, but this did not appear to be the case.By all odds, any of the remaining sea orcs who originally planned to walk their way out of the sea, were scared off as soon as the temperature of the water around them dropped significantly. When Timothy thought about the matter this way, he further confirmed his theory that the creatures he was dealing wit

  • Chapter 365 - Hydro, tainting

    Timothy initially wanted to take the battle to the sea, and kill every last Ancient Sea Orc out there. That was his idea this morning, however, they had barely thought about what they would do if the sea orcs brought the battle up here beyond the shores!It was normal that they hadn’t thought about it, because in a normal situation, sea creatures shouldn't walk. It wasn’t natural. Timothy was dumbfounded, however, he also understood that it was imperative that he and the team stayed here, in front of the beach, so as to prevent any remaining sea orc from attacking the City of Fik. They had to stay, until backup arrived.Today, the city had proved themselves utterly unprepared when it came to managing a disaster. It was evident, so the team couldn’t, in good conscience, leave their spot until a bunch of soldiers arrived here on the beach, and manned the frontline. “Don't be discouraged, guys.” Tim tried to motivate his team. “Remember all the gold we're gonna make. At the very least,

    The team killed a shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orc a moment ago, and they were proud of it, as the battle had been swift, and their moves were effective. However, they did not expect to see four more of these giant monsters pop out of the sea! They were petrified.“Dragons, cover fire!” Timothy yelled out again.The dragons understood what those words meant now, so they didn’t have to be taught as much this time around in order for them to contribute. They started blasting fireballs towards the giants, and even though it was more difficult to push all four of them away, the contribution the dragons were putting into the battle was worthwhile! If not anything more, it served as a great distraction. Timothy then gathered his team of goblins, and the two giants that were also on his team, them being Garry and Gustav, and then they rushed into battle! The giants were less than forty meters away from them, and they wanted to take control of the situation before these monsters got the chance t
