I'm a Stingray? Chapter 227 - Kelketuk
Since Timothy brought his slaves out of the needle universe of Purpureus Mundi Aqus, he decided that it was due time that he sat down, and tended to some unfinished business. Before he left the Ruins of Aqumus, he had accumulated tens of thousands of system points, and now, where the overall circumstances surrounding him were calm, he decided that it was time to spend those points!There were two, fully-necromantic abilities left for him to buy, and after that, he would meet the end of the batch of fifteen upgrades, and or powers that the system had presented to him. It would be the end of the batch of upgrades, and this was exciting for a couple of reasons! Firstly, his MQ would rise again, because he would attain powers that were difficult to attain elsewhere. With a higher MQ, mana itself was his canvas, so he could experiment more in terms of power merging, and power creation!Secondly, after he bought these couple of upgrades, the system promised a complete overhaul of how upgra
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 228 - Gutaxun
Timothy successfully summoned a Kelketuk, which was a demonic creature without a doubt. Physically, it looked a lot like a Basilisk Dragon, even though the two species were unrelated to one another. It has a lot of legs, molten, black scales to protect it, and it had an arsenal of powers to its command, so surely summoning it was a worthy investment, even if it was frowned upon by the majority of society!Timothy was as curious as ever, that goes without saying, so he was eager to experiment with this demonic dragon. He wanted to figure out how to best use such a beast in any upcoming battle!“Let’s see what you can do, demon. I only have you here for a day, and I'm gonna make it count!” He spoke to it, “Show me your trademark power, without accidentally killing me during your presentation, of course.”The Kelketuk understood, and it just grunted in cooperation, as it could not answer verbally. A blink later, it disappeared into the sand, and rapidly moved around below the sand, makin
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 229 - Tame illusions
Other than the Master's Call ability, Timothy also bought the Tame Illusions ability. The arcane branch of illusion magic, tip-toed across the line of being pure, and necromantic, it was an endless dance of good and evil, and it was oftentimes difficult to see the line that separated the two. The ability he bought the latest, however, was absolutely necromantic, no doubt about it!It was the most expensive purchase too, towering at seventy-thousand system points, simply because it was difficult for one to attain any, and all illusion-based abilities!“Seventy-thousand points… this bastarding purchase better be good!” He mumbled.Based on the system's description, he could either choose to ‘tame' monsters, or people with this ability, or he could choose to torture them mentally for forty-two hours straight, keeping them awake until he’d push them towards an eternal slumber, or insanity itself, sprinkled with Paranoid Schizophrenia! This ability was considered dark, because it could rui
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 230 - The seven tabs of freedom
The grand notion of being able to pick what upgrades he spent system points into, was something that Timothy had been craving for a long time now! During the previous few months, the system did a great job at lining up the most appropriate upgrades for him to buy, and this had been part of what had kept him alive, but it simply felt better to have the freedom to choose whatever he wanted to to upgrade! He was very excited about it.The system did a complete overhaul of the system tabs that featured his abilities, and separated his abilities into seven, very important categories; Abilities, Dark Abilities, Intelligence Upgrades, Durability & Bodily Upgrades, Multiple Power Casting-Costs, and a whole bunch of New Powers that were available for purchase!Initially Timothy was overwhelmed by these seven tabs, but once he looked into them thoroughly, he understood what he was supposed to do if he wanted to improve one of his powers! He looked at his Abilities, for example, and once he expl
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 231 - "To be strong, or to be sexy?"
[The various three upgrades that you just bought, cost you 59,000 system points. As of now, 100,000 points remain in your sum.] The system flashed yet another tab.Throughout most of his life in this world, spending this many points on upgrades had been unimaginable to him. It was a lot, but then again, he did make tremendous progress throughout his journey in the micro-universe of Valporovus, so the amount of points that he was spending now, was up-to-date! Come to think of it, the Tame Illusions ability alone cost him seventy-thousand points, so he didn’t mind spending less than that amount on four important upgrades that would help him in the long run! He gladly spent those points.Better yet, the system points that remained in his sum were plenty, so he had the option to buy several more upgrades if he chose to! After the system finished implementing the three upgrades that he bought, he felt content. The IQ upgrade made him feel just a little bit sharper, and a lot more competent
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 232 - The Green Plague
Fire was a flexible element in the world of magic. Its use went far above how hot the fire could get, so it was especially flexible for a mage who knew what to do with it!As a level five mage within the Adept Arcana realm of mana, and with an MQ of five hundred points, the things that Timothy could create was nothing short of fascinating! He was far smarter than most mages of his level, and this intelligence that he had, came with countless perks.For example, while mages of his level struggled to tinker with ten or so mana channels, he could play with tens of them, and create powers with them, powers that rivaled that of Expert Mages! Other than his high MQ, his CQ also contributed to him creating interesting powers! He was creative.“I need to make it invisible…” He plotted.The concept of invisible fire was interesting, as it could burn his enemies without them realizing what burned them! It was a brutal way of fighting reserved for the best mages, and considering the current, dar
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 233 - The Ghost World
It cost him fifty-thousand system points to amplify The Green Plague ability! It was expensive, because the power itself was one of a kind, for a start, but also, it was a new ability that had never been amplified before! The cost wasn't light, but he had to pay for it.The second thing that made it so expensive, was the fact that he amplified it by thirty-percent, rather than his usual twenty! This bumped up the price of the amplification process significantly, but he was enthralled to do so, because it was simply too expensive to use this ability otherwise! With a thirty-percent decrease of mana usage, The Green Plague ability would take seventeen-thousand five-hundred mana points per second to be used, at most, which certainly was cheaper than twenty-five thousand!Timothy figured that this was the best way to spend nearly half of what remained of his system points. He was a mage, and if he was to survive as a mage, then he had to know how to spend less and less mana, even in the o
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 234 - Phantomized Mana
It took some effort to activate the Explorative Soul ability, but the fact that it was possible to activate it, confirmed that Timothy did a great job with the replicas that he made! In order for the ability to be activated, they would need to enter a hibernating state, and this was difficult for species who could not hibernate naturally!Aqus Goblins, as a species, did not hibernate, and since the team had assumed the form of Aqus Goblins, they had to spend a few hours just to snap into the hibernating state! They had to pour mana into the ability, constantly, as to enthrall it to cooperate.It worked eventually, but each member of the team spent at least a couple hundred thousand mana points in the process! It took quite some effort to get where they wanted to be, but at least it worked.The five of them turned into ghosts. Well, they separated their souls from their own bodies, so technically they were not dead ghosts right now, but rather, they were traveling souls, or explorative

Chapter 372 - Pure lava
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
Chapter 371 - AAAAA!!
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
Chapter 370 - Dark Moon
“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
Chapter 369 - Bored
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
Chapter 368 - 800 Expert Mages
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
Chapter 367 - Ablutions
“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
Chapter 366 - 10 Dark Giants x 700 Humans
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,
Chapter 364 - Timothy Tentacles
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
