I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 251: Air tunnel

After contemplating that advice, he had to point out. "I don't mean to sound similar to a whining whale, but your excellency is quite aware that I still don't have the slightest clue regarding what this blue-moon-ability is?"

[I'm aware. You need to get out of this hiding spot first, this ability is an attack move that requires a bit of strength]

"Now we're rolling," He celebrated, and slid away through the ceiling's crack without the slightest hesitation.

His eyes instantly met with several fish whom were just carrying along any dirt and rock. Thankfully, they weren't attacking or panicking in any way to be spoken of.

It almost felt like these fish were completely ignoring the large eel carcass, that was floating in the little cavern. Odd to say at least, but right now he didn't want to think about that.

Instead, he focused on the system again and asked. "Okay, now enlighten me with what I should do next?"

It felt odd to continue speaking in this manner, but it sure managed to raise a bit of his confidence; simply because it sounded like an intelligent way of speaking. He was almost sad that this type of upgrade was temporary, as he became a bit adapted towards such intelligence.

[This is a power move that solely relies on what your fins can do, especially the illusion part]

[You need to be swimming forward before activating this move. And to activate it, you need to spin your body a few times while still swimming forward]

[This is a bit tricky to understand, but you should still get the hang of it]

As the system was specifying this move, he was already in the process of trying it out. The tunnel was long, but it was also roomy enough so here he had the opportunity to try the move out.

For a second it was difficult to understand the whole concept, but his fins had been hurt enough through time, that he knew what it was like to spin while swimming directly forwards.

It was a process that physically tired out a lot of muscles, since he had to over-use every bit of them - but it was not impossible to do.

Therefore he tried it out, but right now his fins could only aid him spin just three times. It wasn't a great number, but he began understanding what the system tried to teach.

Because while he was doing this move, he also took a peek at the third-person-view map. Although he couldn't fully focus on it, he noticed that the waters were moving abruptly while he attempted the power move.

The salty-waters themselves had spun to create a small little tunnel that was mostly filled with air. This tunnel was big enough for him to mostly fit in there, but his fins were still out of the borders, because they were steering through the waters.

He also noticed that this water-walled-tunnel was generating a thick-blue-mist! It obviously was not enough to render anyone blind, but it gave an illusion that one would think Timothy had completely disappeared through thick water!

This power-move gave a hint of good use, but he couldn't help thinking that it wasn't powerful enough. The system had heard those thoughts, and decided to weigh in a few more key facts.

[I should remind you that this move will take time to learn, especially since it can be used limitlessly]

[It's far different from the eruptive heat, where you didn't exactly have to learn anything in order to use that power-move]

[The blue-moon-ability will take time to learn, but it is a one time purchase. You won't have to spend another point on it, but it can become stronger the more you try to figure the move out]

Towards such a sentence, he could only celebrate. "Extraordinarily strong for a purchase that didn't even cause me pain!"

And then he wanted to try out the move again, he had quite some motivation to do so. But in order to gain just a little bit of more motivation, he targeted a random fish for the sake of testing.

Timmy remembered the system saying that this move wasn't just about illusion, so he wanted to figure out what else was there to be found.

He charged towards the target and spun like a barrel, just enough times for the air-tunnel to stretch long enough in order to reach the fish.

The tunnel ended up stretching just about three-meters long! And since it was twice as large in comparison to what he first managed to generate, the tunnel collapsed a lot faster this time.

He could not even develop that deep-blue-coloured mist that would give the illusion of him disappearing. But it was fair to say that the rest of the results were good enough.

The targeted fish had been forced to enter the air-filled-tunnel, and what had struck the marine animal didn't nearly have anything to do with suffocation.

Instead, the foot-long fish had begun swimming quite a lot like Timothy. And the aftermath that came after the power-move had dissipated, were still strong.

The little blue-dotted menace, was observing how the fish continued to spin like a barrel, quite a few times; even after the air-tunnel was broken down.

After regaining some balance, the fish stopped swimming and began rushing in all directions; it smashed against the dirty walls like someone who had been spooked towards craze!

This continued for half a minute, but the fish regained its senses and just continued working, as if nothing had happened.

Now he did not know if the sealing behaviour was linked to the blue-moon-ability, but he began understanding that this move was powerful!

Even though it can't kill an enemy, it can be a great tool when he has to fight against several opponents. He would cause far more damage, if half of an opposing group were suffering with disorientation!

He wanted to try this power-move out a bit more, for the sake of mastering it.

But that was when he heard a thick female tone, questioning. "Are you the dipshit that has killed our guard-eel?"
