I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 249: Crazed eel

Unsurprisingly, the enemy eel began weeping like a little baby. In the beginning, what Tim had said did not make much sense ~ but after such ways of expression were contemplated, the eel couldn't help but question his own existence.

What started out as a small weep, continued to be a semi-crazed mental breakdown. The eel swam towards this little cavern's flooring, and rolled on it as if he wanted to shake something off his skin!

Such a strong action didn't exactly fit a saddened fish, but in this case it was convenient although this sort of damage seemed minor to say, at least.

It did, until the system came along to announce something around this very same topic.

[Congratulations, you are pushing the enemy towards insanity]

"It seems so. I feel a bit sad for this preposterous bastard." He followed along, proving that no level of intelligence would stop his faulty language.

Although emotionally he was more than a genius, logically he was still lacking behind.

So he turned all attention towards the system and asked, "What should I do to him now?"

This was a unique situation, so he didn't exactly know how to approach it.

When it came to practicing any battle against an enemy, he was tremendously self dependent. But here it seems like the situation should be approached differently, at least that's what he felt.

Yet contrary to expectations, the system simply answered. [Just kill him quickly before more fish arrive here]

[After you kill him, swim away towards the big cavern so no one could remember who the killer was]

He grew hesitant towards such a plan, and the root of that emotion was easily deciphered as he asked. "But is it really worth it? He's already going crazy, why should he be punished more?"

Just as that question was asked, he noticed the same eel charging directly towards him with a speed that can not be underestimated!

Timothy's reflexes were quite honed by now, thanks to the countless battles he had participated in; so he managed to slap the water with his fins, for the sake of lunging backwards and buying himself some time!

The original idea was to point his tail forward, and just let the enemy smash its head against the marvelous weaponry. But that was rendered out as an option.

Simply because the two-meter-long eel's momentum was plentiful enough, to push the hero off balance!

His tail ended up scratching the enemy's back, but that cut was only a foot long and it wasn't deep either - so it can be labelled as practically ineffective against such a fat monster!

The enemy continued swimming forward, and eventually smashed against one of the little cavern's walls. Such an impact wasn't strong enough to kill the blasted eel, but it did aid to embrace craze!

And although an instant kill had not been inflicted by the hero, there was another result that proved to be advantageous!

The long-bodied marine animal, had crashed against the wall hard enough to slow himself down. Now this monster was trying to shake the numbness away, as the crash had minorly paralyzed a portion of his back muscles!

The system found this opportunity as a golden one, to express. [You didn't want to kill this eel, now look how the situation is playing out]

[You need to remember! A crazy enemy is worse than a stable one, use your time wisely!]

Just as that sentence was uttered out, the same eel began rising from that crash and seemed quite ready to launch another attack!

Likewise, it charged just a second after with speeds that were slower in comparison to the first attack, but still seemed lethal!

In a matter of a blink, the fat monster had reached Timothy and even began clapping its jaws for the sake of ripping him into shreds!

With quite some confidence, the sea-disk faced the enemy. And then began putting into motion, a move that had proved useful more than a handful of times in the past.

Once more, he lunged backwards and poked his tail forwards as quickly as he could!

The enemy arrived sooner than expected, but that wasn't necessarily a problem. Because it's head still ended up smashing against the hero's barb!

The damage seemed almost instant! Although the stingray got dragged across the cavern for a few meters, thanks to the momentum of which this eel had built up; the situation still developed to his favour!

This enemy's movements were simply slowing down at a drastic pace so to speak; leaving the hero with no doubt that this foul attacker was meeting an end!

This felt like a marvelous win, it was amazing how effective a strike against the head can be, even against an enemy of such a soul-shaking size.

And as always, the system came along with notifications that specifically originated around this battle.

[Slender giant moray-eel killed. One-hundred-and-fifty system points have been given to you as a reward]

[Total system points = 200]

"It was that easy to kill this bag of meat and bones?" He questioned, and slowly nudged away from the enemy.

He tried to shake the numbness away, of which had solely come from the impact; but he that might take a little while.

[It was easy to kill this one because you aimed for the head, that is a vital body part for most discovered marine life]

[But also, this eel isn't even full grown]

Such a statement had made him gulp in fear, and he projected that discomfort by asking. "You're trying to scare me, aren't you? So I become more careful?"

[Not at all, this species can grow up to four-meters-long! That's double the size of what you had just killed]

After contemplating such a scary fact, he simply decided to express. "I hope that my presence hasn't alerted more eels of this seed. That is, if there aren't any more of them here."

With enthusiasm feeling like an emotion that he could easily adapt towards now, thanks to the increased levels of intelligence; he decided to figure out if this kill had more benefits to it, and also simply pushed fear aside.

Therefore he simply weighed in a question, "I'm not lacking any health so to speak, but what effects does this accursed species bring?"
