I'm a Stingray? Chapter 240 - Oil rig
The task of finding Frost Orcs came as a surprise to the team, it was absolutely out of their radar of expectations. They didn't want to leave the reef, and furthermore, they had been eager to experiment with what the ghost world had to offer, but duty called, so they had to go against their own wishes in order to keep the project across the reef safe, and going! Timothy knew how inconvenient this trip was, so he tried his best to make it easier for himself, and for his friends. This was why he convinced everyone to turn into Sailfish to begin with, and with some luck, this task may not take more than a month to complete!They were off to a good start, and the grand speed they were practicing hinted so! A Sailfish could swim up to 110 km/h at most, over short periods of time, and such speed was grand for sure, but they couldn't keep up this max speed for long, no.It was best to swim at 50 km/h, to avoid over exertion, but that wasn’t fast enough if they were to make good distance, e
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 241 - "The 9,000 kilometer mark"
It was interesting to find an oil rig here, in the middle of the ocean, but apart from it being a good spot to spend the night in, it was otherwise useless. The rig was abandoned, and considering that Timothy wasn't in the path of becoming an oil tycoon anytime soon, he didn’t need to study the tools and machinery here, as they were all useless to him. In a world of magic, mana was wealth, while actual, monetary wealth wasn't as important, especially on the occasion where he lived as a fish. As for other circumstances, he figured that any good mage would always have money lying around, so he didn’t care much about it.In simple words, they left the rig as soon as they woke up in the morning. The North Pole was still about fifteen-thousand kilometers away, according to the system, so they had to be on the move. Today was to be another day of restless swimming, so they shapeshifted accordingly, into a school of Sailfish, and then split the seas, heading north!…After a week's worth of
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 242 - "Who r u?"
“What the hell is this? Why is there a stone city in the middle of the fucking ocean?!” Gustav asked, in panic, breaking his average, honed composure.It was difficult to answer his question, because most of the team didn't realize what was going on either, apart from Timothy. Although he needed a moment to have a good look of his surroundings, he instantly knew where he was, and come to think of it, ending up in a city like this has been an aspiration of his ever since he used the Explorative Soul ability for the first time, several months ago.“We're in a ghost city, deep inside a ghost kingdom.” He answered, “I'm assuming that it's a more civilized place, cause these bastards here aren't randomly shooting at each other. As for the ‘stone’, it's just highly-altered gas, and even though I didn't know that one could play with gas clouds like this, I can still see the channels patterns they used to build the city! It's very impressive work, that's for sure, especially since the channel
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 243 - Tamed Entity - ROM
The ghost city the team popped up in, was very civilized, regardless of how ironic that may sound. Much like in a real, physical city, there was law and order here, regardless of how special and taylored the laws were. It was simply functional, and this functionality spread across the entire kingdom of Mors Florentes, rather than just the City of Fortuna itself!Their names were certainly interesting too. They were in latin, Timothy could pick up on that fact, but despite him not understanding how latin was used so often on this planet, he was also uncomfortable once he remembered how undead, and paranormal those names sounded. He didn't know when he started getting used to the paranormal, but when he stopped and thought about it, taking into perspective regarding where he was right now, he got spooked. If he had a heart in this form, it would've been pounding rapidly for a while!Anyway, the team started using the order that this city had, to their advantage. As a welcoming gift, the
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 244 - "Froggy... date?"
The arts of phantom potion making were complex, and demanded a specific skill set dedicated to them. Timothy realized that as soon as he entered a chemistry workshop!Now, this line of work wasn't shunned upon, entities practiced it openly, and those who did practice it, were either really powerful or really wealthy, so they had nothing to hide. One could set up such a business in the ghost world, and if they were skillful enough, they could become really wealthy! Although the currency here was useless in the physical world, it was still the standard currency of trade here in the city, and across the entire Kingdom of Mors Florentes, meaning that hundreds of thousands of ghosts used this currency! It was a good place to be skillful.With all of that considered, Timothy could simply walk into the workshop, and its entities welcomed him into it, they didn't feel threatened at the sight of a stranger whatsoever. The workshop was well established, so they considered him a customer, and he
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 245 - Soul Manipulator
Lena had accepted Timothy as an illegal student of sorts, and she was about to teach him the basics of Phantom Alchemy! This branch of magic was very important, but it also required a set of skills and intelligence that most people, or entities, did not possess, so if Timothy even had the slightest chance to understand this craft, he had to start with the basics! Knowledge was one of the most valuable aspects of this craft.“First, you have to understand what souls are made of, Timothy. See when your soul is in your body, it's massless, almost insignificant, as it's attached somewhere between your conscious, and subconscious, deep inside your brain. However, when you choose to use any form of magic that separates your soul from your body, your soul can't be massless any longer, it turns into gas.” Lena explained.“Yeah, I've picked up on that. Since oxygen is also a type of gas, does that mean that my soul is currently made out of oxygen, amongst other gases?” He followed along.“No,”
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 246 - Phantom Potions
The purification process of the contents that Timothy had concocted in the cauldron, was as simple as it was complicated. In the grand scale of things, he wasn't building rockets here, for example, so one couldn't consider the process to be too complex, and in simple words, he was just purifying a combination of two gases here, nothing more. It wasn’t a ground-breaking task, however, if he was to be successful, there was still a minimum requirement of MQ that he had to meet, no matter how insignificant the task may be itself!The requirement towered at four-hundred and fifty points of MQ for this task, and he had crossed that requirement by exactly one-hundred points, so he could carry on with the purification process without restrictions. If he had visited this city a couple of months earlier, then he would've failed to meet the requirement indefinitely, which would've enthralled him to do stupid things afterwards, but luckily that was not the case. Anyway, in order to start the pro
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 247 - Line toeing, and pool fragmentation!
The sect of illusion within the phantom city of Fortuna, was as secretive as one would expect it to be. There was no direct way to find it, it didn’t have a concrete location that one could just knock the door of, so it took a bit of work to get a hold of it, and its sect members!The only hint he had was that the sect was technically local to the city, or, its inhabitants were local, and for a while, that was all of the information that Skendus had to work with. He spent three hours looking for information as to how to enter the sect, and the information he gathered was purely based on rumors! Since he didn't have anything else to work with, he hoped that the rumors would get him somewhere, so he focused on them.One rumor suggested that a sect member would seek him out if he spent enough time looking for the sect, and he followed this idea, even though he was sceptical about it being a good idea to begin with! He knew that his time in the phantom world was limited, so even in this p

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
