I'm a Stingray? Chapter 325 - Shanakas
The coral reef was in trouble, and even though the team wasn’t together, it didn’t necessarily mean that all of them were oblivious of the brewing dangers. Apart from Timothy and Lena who were on a play date, everyone else was putting some work in!Skendus, Gustav, Ortana, and Fortana were together, five kilometers East of the reef, and they were here for two reasons. The first reason was that Ortana had dragged them out here because she wanted to retrieve a special ingredient, one which was supposed to improve the quality of mana potions quite a bit. She was an Alchemist in training, so surely she didn’t give up on a chance that would at the end of the day help improve her craft. Glowing Blue Dulse was a species of Algae, commonly overlooked by fish, as fish did not practice alchemy. This was the ingredient that she was looking for, but it was rare, and she certainly couldn’t find it in the reef, so she dragged along three other friends with her, so they could spread out and therefo
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 326 - The restless, two-headed Demonic Dragon!
There were a few things that would excuse summoning a demonic triceratops-looking dragon. The summoner would truly need to have their back against the wall in order to pull up such a desperate trick out of their sleeve.It so happens, Fortana's back was put up against the wall. She was hiding in a hole, a couple of feet below the seafloor, and there were nearly two-hundred huge seahorses above her head who wanted to burn her alive! She blew out half of her mana pool capacity, but at least now she was certain that she and her friends would win the battle.Summoning a Shanakas in this situation was an overkill. It was the most powerful beast that she could summon, and the fact of the matter was that these sea horses were far beneath the demon in terms of power scales.The demonic dragon pierced through the horde of enemies effortlessly, and killed a quarter of them using only its head, and its tough wings! The team already had an advantage now, even though they were technically in the e
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 327 - The hesitant demo-dragon
The only thing more terrifying than a two-headed demonic dragon, was a demonic dragon who was restless! It would take a great amount of work to make such a creature restless, and in this case, Fortana, its summoner, had dismissed its behaviour as a demon just being a demon, which was reasonable but she had been dead wrong nonetheless!Dragons were very aware of what was around them, and a demonic one was even more attentive. It had sensed danger before anyone else in the group could have!At some point, it roared desperately, and its roar was impossible to miss despite the sea’s attempts to muffle it! Everyone in the group, including Fortana, were almost scared to death. They felt as if their hearts were going to bounce out of their bodies, and run away!“Brace yourselves!” Skendus yelled out.Being the one who had snuck into the Shanakas’ head, and read its mind, he knew exactly what was coming. He put it upon himself to try everything to keep his friends alive!For that matter, he y
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 328 - Genta's four-step plan
Trouble was brewing two kilometers away from the reef, and it was that kind of trouble that could affect thousands of human lives, rather than just the reef itself. A giant, Luminous Terror Jellyfish was approaching the reef, for the sole purpose of harvesting the mana root farm, and it was willing to risk its own life to get to them!Genta was also willing to risk her life, and the life of everyone around her, because she was unwilling to let go of the roots that she had planted herself, and had put so much effort into. She had not expected to get into such trouble of great proportions, but that fact didn't make her any less stubborn. With hundreds of goblins under her command, she was all the more willing to fight the monstrous jellyfish that no other creature would be dumb enough to fight. Giving up and fleeing was exempted from her frame of mind.“Okay, listen up!” She yelled out. “I have a three… no, four-step plan that'll help us deal with this sucker effectively, if not swiftl
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 329 - Arctic Blue Stars
The sea waters were getting colder. The temperature dropped by two more degrees already, in Celsius measurements. Their surroundings have gotten colder that quickly, because the Aqus Goblins had initiated an attack against the Luminous Terror Jellyfish, triggering it to intensify its abilities! It was truly a beast of legends, and the thing was that the jellyfish was also cautious enough to avoid over-using its powers, because it did not want to risk having to float over the thick layer of ice that it could create.The jellyfish wanted to get to the mana roots, without making any sacrifices along the way. The fact of the matter was that it didn't have to sacrifice much to succeed, because it could kill off everything in its path if it got the temperature of the sea down to around -60°C! Down at that temperature, most species would freeze in no time if they were incapable, or stupid enough not to flee, and better yet, the jellyfish would even have at least twenty minutes of wiggle roo
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 330 - "If you love your friends, burn them"
“Fuck you, you bastards!” Gustav yelled out, and thrusted his arm forward, as to shoot a fireball.During his fit of rage, he seemed to have forgotten that there was a transparent shield in front of him, so if he shot a fireball now, then all four members of the team would suffer the consequences! They could get burned into a crisp.Ortana was aware of this, so she dismantled her transparent shield temporarily, thus allowing the fireball to pass through, and hit the amphipteres! Afterwards, she put her shield back up immediately, because in this situation, where they could barely predict what could come next, a shield was the only thing that kept them alive, and from shitting themselves.The fireball roared forward, and hit one of the monsters. Other than getting one of them to flinch, it was fair to say that the fireball was ineffective. Now, they were officially out of ideas. Dealing with an amphiptere was troublesome, especially if they weren’t your friends. Dealing with three of
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 331 - "What the frick?"
Gustav became desperate once he came to the realization that he and his friends might not survive. They weren’t only dealing with cold water and ice here, but they were also dealing with temperatures that continued dropping, despite how illogical that may seem. Fire wasn't enough to keep them warm. He unleashed every bit of fire that he could, without having to kill his friends in the process, but they had felt the warmth of the burning fire only for a second, before the temperatures dropped back down to -50°C!Things were not getting better. The only thing that would save them now, was if they escaped this icy trap, and fled. No matter how great a mage one could be, there were little ways to fight such intensive cold temperatures, and live to tell the tale! They had to act quickly. Gustav blasted fire out of every limb that he had, and he even blew a lot of it through his mouth, and just like that, he bought the group the slightest chance to survive. He melted the ice and water that
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 332 - Five-hundred meters long tentacles!
The Luminous Terror Jellyfish was dangerously close to the reef. As of now, it was eighty meters away from it, and it was mere seconds away from meeting with the long wall that the Coral Destroyers have put up. The temperatures as of now had dropped down to -30°C at the front edge of the reef, and this was enough to kill off most species in no time. However, Genta and everyone else around her stood strong! They used fire to keep themselves warm, and were wise enough to know that the jellyfish couldn’t afford to drop the temperatures of the water around it any lower, because it would end up blocking its own path with thick layers of ice. With the current temperature, the jellyfish would have almost an hour of wiggle room to go to the Mana Root farm, and back, without breaking much of a sweat. Its demeanor was much like a floating megatank, and it was confident that nothing could stop it. It had plenty of reasons to believe in its own capabilities, because the two-hundred Aqus Goblins

The merchant that was trying to bargain with the team remained calm, he didn’t lose his composure. He was old, and his body seemed dried out, so surely he had made plenty of much tougher sales throughout his lifetime. Therefore, his answer was equally sharp, “The root may be worth ten kilos of gold in the market, but it’s difficult to sell it unless you know your way around. To the right people, I can sell it for as much as thirty kilos, if we’re being honest? I’m offering to give you five kilos of gold, because I know that you won’t be able to find a better deal anywhere else across the City of Fik.”Such honesty stunned Timothy, he did not expect it. However, he had also kept his cards close to his chest, and had tried to sell a single root only, rather than more. He never revealed that he had four hundreds of them stashed away safely. With that considered, he was able to argue, and pitched, “What if I said that I have fifty of them to sell, sir great merchant?”“That’s virtually
Chapter 346 - The gold value of Mana Roots
The team was accepted into the city, as the guards didn’t cause them any trouble. They left their dragons in the stables that were close to the city walls, and the stables were quite big, as they were meant to keep hundreds of horses, so the eight dragons fit in there just well, despite their various, big sizes. Timothy got close to Billy the dragon, and said, “We’re gonna have to leave you guys here for a while. Now, I want you to behave, but if anyone tries something funny, just burn them, and head back home.”Billy nodded in response. The team then separated with the dragons, and made their way into the city. They were dumbfounded by how big this place was, and it was definitely bigger and more packed than the cities that they had visited back in the micro-universe of Valporovus! The most common thing that they could see were three story buildings, which were made both with stone, or wood. The wooden ones were likely supported by thick, wooden beams, otherwise it would be difficu
Chapter 345 - The City of Fik
In the magic world, being a team was oftentimes more beneficial than raw-dogging the challenges of the world alone. No two mages were the same, on the count on how random the magical world could be, so a team could benefit from each other’s perspectives, and arsenal.Timothy, and most of his friends, had progressed through worldly settings that were no different from complete anarchy. Timothy started out in the ocean, where laws of any sorts were unheard of. Everyone tried to kill everything, even if they felt slightly threatened, so his earlier upbringing had certainly been tough. Magical stagnation was uncommon in this magical world however, as long as one managed to survive for long enough. Whoever survived was bound to progress eventually, so Timothy had mastered a good part of the ocean already and he even had a whole coral reef to call his own. He considered himself the owner of the reef that he had popped into months ago, or at least, he was its great ambassador. He was the fi
Chapter 344 - The distribution of the Mana Roots
Timothy and the team were finished harvesting the mana roots. Individually, they got every benefit that they could get out of this farm, and despite the fact that the level of each team member was all over the place, creating a sort of unbalanced arsenal between them, they still were very pleased with the results!Neither of them knew where Genta was, or had gone to, and judging from the context of her disappearance, it didn’t look like she was coming back anytime soon, or ever. The best theory was that she had somehow traveled forwards in time, because her original timeline was several thousand years into the future, but although that theory sounded plausible, the fact remained that time travel was unheard of in the magical world. Even Garry, who was a literal Arch Mage himself now, was oblivious of such a thing as traveling forward in time!Sure Timothy could manipulate time to some degree, but he had a portal. He could manipulate time only under certain settings, through the portal
Chapter 343 - Fortana, the Dragon Slayer
Fortana was the last to rise from the farm of mana roots. She had taken longer than everyone else to level up, which was a bit understandable on the count that most of her mana pool consisted of dark mana, but her friends were still concerned. They braced themselves, and fully expected that Fortana would find some random reason to attack them! At the very least, she was likely strong enough now to not depend on anyone else anymore. Once she rose out of the farm, her long blonde hair followed suit, waving across the waters. To their surprise, she seemed quite calm, she wasn’t hostile, but her calm composure was almost like a trick, because moments later, she did something weird.Somehow, she created a small squid within seconds, and then destroyed the squid moments later. She didn’t just kill it, she disintegrated it, and the only thing that was left behind was the squid’s ink. She then poked her head into the free-floating ink, waved it, and in turn, a bunch of the black ink went int
Chapter 342 - "I did this thing"
Amongst the three mages that were still harvesting the roots of the farm, Gustav was the first one to stand. Ortana, and Fortana remained in the farm, and were still harvesting every drop of mana that they could get.It was concerning that the two of them were still harvesting mana, but the rest of the team couldn’t do anything about it. It was best not to interrupt them, and if they somehow died while harvesting, then they would die in the best way possible. The euphoria that any mage would feel here, in this farm, topped the euphoria that any other type of death could cause! At some point, everyone expected that Fortana and Ortana would die today, and they started believing this after every other minute that passed without these couple of ladies rising from below the roots. Everyone waited in anticipation, but when Gustav arose, he managed to distract the rest of the group quite thoroughly!“How are ya, Guss?” Tim asked, as he noticed that his friend had this crazy look in his eye.
Chapter 341 - 5-5-6-7
Genta disappeared. The reason behind her disappearance was difficult to figure out, but for now, no one in the team really cared to know. They were all busy reaping the benefits of the great amount of roots that she had left behind, and Genta had spent most of her time here yelling at everyone anyway, so no one really cared if she never came back. She was a great stepping-stone for everyone’s progress today, and so they were to remember her as a great old mage whose mere willpower alone changed several, or potentially tens of lives for the better good. However, they’d also be happy to never see her again. Soon enough, Garry was done leveling up, so he stood up and swam away from the farm. He sat close to Arvena, and tried to balance the sheer amount of great, euphoric emotions that the roots gave him.“At whit realm did ye git to?" He asked.“The sixth one,” She answered.Impressed, he said, “Och sae you’re a stoatin, Expert Mage noo huh? That’s gey crakin'!”Arvena nodded in respons
Chapter 340 - Genta's disappearance
The farm of eight-hundred mana roots bore benefits that a handful of mages could not fully harvest by themselves. The roots were fullgrown, they were adult roots, so the amount of mana they bore each was within the millions, so they wouldn't even be able to harvest them even if they were all Arch Mages!Odds were that a mana bracket would hit them ages before they could harvest the roots. Genta had planted many of them, because she had expected to harvest them once they were just a few months old, where the yield would have been about ten times less, if not lower. She didn't account for a giant jellyfish to come and boost the roots into later adulthood, though, she wasn’t complaining either, because now they didn’t have to be savvy with the roots.The mana roots were so big that they had intertwined with one another. Their thick, three-foot wide arms slithered across the farm, and at this point the farm even looked like a labyrinth that had no beginning or end! It was difficult to eve
Chapter 339 - The Yield
The team had eight-hundred full grown Mana Roots at their disposal. It was time to harvest the fruit of their labor, and it so happens that their labor included immense battles and worldwide travel, so the rewards that they were about to reap seemed all the more meritable!However, they were also aware that eight-hundred roots were too much for them to harvest all together, as the roots outnumbered them around ninety to one! They couldn’t harvest the entire farm even if they tried, so after chatting with Genta for a little bit, they came to the agreement to let the goblins, Coral Destroyers, and basically every other species who had helped form, or protect this farm one way or the other to have a slice of this goodness! It was only fair, as by all odds, the nine of them wouldn't be able to harvest even half of the roots, nonetheless all of it.Anyway, In order to avoid messing with each other's mana intake, the group spread apart from each other, laid in the comfortable, sandy ground
