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

    Once the Luminous Terror Jellyfish was ‘beached’ at the front edge of the reef, the happiness that Genta felt was beyond measure! If joy was a measurable gas, she would've exploded already. Better yet, the jellyfish was stuck, and it was too heavy to move itself on the count that most of its body was already out of the water. It tried to use its hundreds of remaining tentacles to set itself free, but its efforts were futile, as its body was officially too heavy to move without exerting some great effort! The jellyfish blew out more than half of its mana pool while it was airborne, and now, it wasn't keen on wasting the rest of it just to break loose.“Shocked, aren’t ya? Ya big bastard!” Genta shouted, as she beamed back and forth the edge of the reef, cutting off as many tentacles as she could, further immobilizing the jellyfish. “Did you really think I'd give my farm up that easily? You gross bastard!”Genta, and everyone else in her command surely had an advantage now, and they we

    “Fire is unity, fire is the peacekeeper, and we seek such peace! We ask the mana gods to bind our fire, and so we shall destroy the great evil that is upon us!” Genta recited.The situation had developed into where they had to use a spoken-word spell, because as it happens, their mere powers alone weren't enough to kill the beast, before it killed everything in a three-kilometer wide radius. They had to be quick!Timothy wasn’t so keen on begging the mana gods, he wasn’t in speaking terms with them. Well, he hadn't begged them in a while.However, the situation they were in required some sacrifice, even though his ego was the only thing that he had to sacrifice in the exchange. He had popped up into the battle scene just a moment ago, but he trusted Genta enough to follow her lead. For that matter, he repeated, “Fire is unity, fire is the peacekeeper, and we seek such peace! We ask the mana gods to bind our fire, and so we shall destroy the great evil that is upon us!”Timothy was al

    “Where's my reward system? I killed a giant fucking jellyfish here, haha!” He asked.Quick as a flash, she answered, [The mana god killed the Luminous Terror Jellyfish, not you. You must understand that without divine intervention, your fireballs would've been useless in the prior situation.]“Well, shit.” He grunted. “I would've probably gotten a million system points if I killed this bastard myself. I picked a bad time to go on a fucking picnic in Mundi.”Timothy wasn’t happy about the matter at all. Not only did he walk into a raging battlefield, and helped deliver the killing blow to a giant monster, but he also had to do all of that with his butt-cheeks frozen shut! He felt that he had to be compensated better, but he pushed those sour feelings of expectation down, and was happy that he experienced a level-up in his mana pool instead.Anyway, once the battle was over, everyone made good use of the jellyfish insides. Its insides only contained a fraction of what was left of its ma

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 336 - Timothy Back-breaker!

    Gustav, Skendus, Ortana and Fortana made their way along the coastline. They walked west, because the reef was in that direction, so they knew they’d be a lot safer soon, under the protection of their many friends and allies. The battle that they had gone through today was traumatizing, and they were still feeling the cold despite being more than a kilometer away from the battle scene, so this was a day that they weren’t going to forget anytime soon. They were happy that they survived, but the humiliation they felt grew stronger after every other minute. Most of them had dealt with dragons before, in fact they’ve fought dragons that were a lot deadlier, such as Iron-Claw the Wicked, but they had not suffered such humiliation. When they remembered that those three amphipteres tried to kill them in the most simple way possible, solely depending on instincts rather than any advanced combination of magical know-how, they felt even more embarrassed.Gustav even wanted revenge, but he was

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 337 - "Let me unseal your butt-cheeks!"

    Timothy found the rest of the team, two kilometers away from the beach. Essentially, he saved them from the grave danger that those Arctic Amphipteres posed, or at the very least, he saved Skendus from essentially being eaten alive. The amphipteres had caught up with the team a moment ago, and they would have only needed to pick up on the team’s scent, in order to emerge out of the water and finish what they started.The monsters met their match. Timothy even stopped them from heading towards the reef, and due to this fact alone, he had prevented a massive battle that could’ve erupted back home, if he hadn’t ran into the monsters here! He saved more than one life today, that was for sure.Anyway, he noticed that Skendus wasn't in top form right now. A short conversation with him helped confirm that he wasn’t healthy, and that there was something wrong with his brain.“They bit my noggin,” Skendus said.Confused, Timothy rubbed his giant mole of a friend's head, and said, “Well, I don'

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 338 - Garry's banter

    After Timothy and his friends sat down with each other, he caught up with what had happened to them. They were caught by surprise by two waves of attacks, and hadn't been able to fight back properly.Timothy was beyond surprised that even a two-headed demonic dragon hadn't been able to help them, but then he remembered that serpentine creatures of any sort were difficult to deal with. They were tough, and more often than not, the average fireball wasn't enough to kill them. A good example was that he hated Sea Orcs for the very same reason!Sea Orcs may not be one-hundred feet long like those three amphipteres that he just killed, but they were widder, bulkier. He would need to use a very specific combination of his abilities in order to kill them, and the fact of the matter was that he hadn't even killed a Sea Orc yet, despite the fact that he had run into a few of them in the past.With all of that considered, he decided to go easy on his friends. He didn’t tease them as much after

    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

    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

    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.

    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
