I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 290: Gerlach's pep talk

Through this collision, the actual fate was still a bit uncertain since they were still a second away from crashing. But regardless of where today would lead, Timothy was optimistic to try his luck.

That was why, even throughout the lack of control he attained because of the several spins, the hero put in effort to activate another power-move!

With the aid of an absolute scream, he demanded. "Grey-tail!"

And without hesitancy or doubt of success, that marvelous long tail swiftly generated.

Its transparent features were exactly spectacular. They weren't a great sight to view, as it just seemed like a grey pole coming out of a stingray's ass; but this raw weaponry could still prove effective.

Luck had surprisingly been on the hero's side for once. Because as this tail fully materialized, the shark's utter disorientation had brought a favourable result!

The shark managed to crash right before they were about to crash against one another. This massive beast smashed against the ground, its head had been dug a couple of feet below the sand thanks to the sheer power!

But ultimately, the momentum that this beast had brought, managed to force the hero to lose his grasp of orientation.

He flipped across the waters like a pancake a couple of times, but this also meant that his meter-long tail was flicking around in a ramped manner as well.

It reached to the point, where the very tip of the tail met with the enemy's skin.

And thanks to the abruptions of momentum coming from either side of the stick, Timmy ended up accidentally embracing the bumble-bee-manoeuvre!

The marvelously long weaponry, pierced right through the enemy's back!

And within a second, the hero noticed that the grey-tail had disintegrated.

Not because of the shark's meaty features itself, but because the very barb had actually pierced throughout the shark's body and had touched sand!

Even though sand had a soft texture, it would only take a few inches before one would need brutal force to punch through it.

That was why the grey-tail had disintegrated. But it wasn't a problem worth worrying about, because the dealt damage was already large!

And what came in as quite a surprise, was the system following along with some notifications.

[Great-white shark killed. This carcass wasn't exactly full-grown, so you're only getting five-hundred system points out of this slaughter]

[Total system points = One-thousand-five-hundred -and-twenty-three]

Such a result was fair. This shark was just around seven feet long, although it was fat.

But that wasn't the main thing to focus on right now. Instead, the hero was lending attention towards the fact that he killed a whole damn shark with a single stab!

It was even more bizarre how this kill was utterly accidental. Such a win was almost difficult to ponder, it felt unfair but also tremendously convenient in more than a few aspects!

He has become quite rich right now in terms of system points. And not to mention, this was one enemy less to worry about.

So he used those streams of optimism, to swim away from the landed kill and began focusing on any other close by targets!

His vision locked with Gerlach the mantis shrimp. He was crawling just a few meters away, and all of these enemies don't really seem to be noticing him.

That was convenient, because he could move around quite freely. And just as another shark had gotten too close, he pounced on that bastard and managed to deliver quite some noticeable damage!

A line of blood erupted across the waters, and it could only come from the shark, whose belly was facing towards the water's far surface right now.

Ultimately meaning that the powerful mantis shrimp had landed yet another kill! And he seems quite aware of the whole battle, rather than just charging around randomly.

That was why he shouted, in order to put a bit of pressure on his own team. "My powers are exhausted right now! I can only depend on my natural abilities, but that can only help so much."

Right after that, he began eyeing another target and wanted to attack it.

But first, he wanted to demand. "Try to kill these foul beasts faster, we can't afford to make mistakes!"

And after that point, he jumped off the shark's carcass and jolted towards another enemy who was swimming below.

He managed to strike another fat beast, right against the head. But the impact was smaller, simply because the actual jump itself seemed less powerful and just a hunch slower.

If the targeted fish had been any further away, then the old man would not have been able to deal any damage.

But thankfully, this other shark had been shot dead too! For a small little critter, the mantis shrimp was a true force to be reckoned with. It was no secret that he specifically had aimed to puncture the enemy's brain!

However, the entire group had acknowledged the prime problem. They were a bit aware of it before the old man's word, but now they were completely motivated to deliver more and more killing blows!

At this point, Timothy thought that the very beginning of this attack, had been a bit too rushed. Maybe they could have taken out these enemies one by one, instead of trying to kill all of them at once.

He wasn't quite thinking straight at that point, but it could not be regretted now. The last thing they needed was a negative emotion to weigh them down.

No no. They have to feed that glorious ego to attack just a little bit harder, all for the sake of standing true to their decisions!

That was why he headed for another one of these enemies, and wanted to try a move that was quite retro, but could still prove useful if mixed with the new abilities.

He charged directly towards one of these sharks. It had noticed Timothy's fast paced approach, and was unsurprisingly coming forward with the same pace!
