I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 72: Signature



Although hesitant just by a quarter, he firmly understood the importance of this idea. So with a little burst of speed, the raging sea pancake took a bite off the little critter in front of him.

[Purple sea urchin killed, 1 system point has been given to you as a reward.]

[Total system points = 34]

[Effect on health, -10]

[Effect on hunger, non existent]

[Effect on sleep, non existent]

[Effect on stamina, non existent]

[Your speed has been upgraded to level 5 for exactly an hour.]

[Total health = 61/100]

"This is totally worth the hurt." The young boy answered but of course was happy that no additional loss of health points managed to strike him. "Now let's hope I don't get hit... that would be very bad."

Thanks to having level 3 jaws, he had it a bit easier to bite through the spikes of an urchin without receiving any additional damage. He also understood that keeping a stable horizontal position while biting the urchin, can help avoid additional damage.

With one more bite, the sea urchin was eaten whole because although it didn't give any other values, Timmy did not want to waste food. Even though that food was rough enough to tickle his throat and stomach for 2 or so hours.

Confident beyond prepare and more than willing to show off, he charged directly towards the enemies and had no thought of being sneaky or careful, screaming the way there. "Niaaaaaau!"

To the only human who managed to capture such sight in time, it appeared like a small torpedo was piercing the water in unholy speeds, frightening in many aspects because a fast moving fish was never a good thing.

FIAUUUU!

That same human unleashed that soul consuming weapon through the waters, a spear of course, there were no doubts about it.

But panic rarely gives good aim and when one was underwater, the aim became even worse. So the spear was a good meter underneath Timmy before the weaponry crashed on some coral, becoming quite stuck in there.

It was never easy to hit a 7 centimeter wide little being whom could move or in this case swim, 20 mp/h!

Less than a quarter of a second after, the human whom attempted to land the kill, felt a sharp pain right on his wrist.

Giving the pain in question a glance, he could see blood puking out of it along with a small hole as if bitten through the piece of snorkeling outfit.

In his own language, the human yelled. "My hand!"

But his tone was muffled by bubbles and sea water, not to mention the ridiculous thing on his face, so the friends around could only attain a sense that something wasn't right, their ears were spared from the shout.

But the second these humans used to grant all of their attention to one of their own, was enough to welcome pain that they did not expect.

One of these men screamed and held their ankle, the other followed the procedure of panic but held his knee and the two others held their hips.

When underwater, the biggest fear would be being bitten by a shark... who would expect that a bite sized sea disk could cause such damage?

As these humans howled in union, the group of hidden fish couldn't help but to feel amazed... half of them at least.

The diamond stingray lady who seemed to be the leader of her own, mumbled with confusion becoming her best friend. "How is this possible? He is so small..."

Although confusion struck strong for these new fish, what's important was the fact that they could see everything, their doubt against Tim was violently diminishing.

In the meantime, Timmy began to round up the enemies once more, striking 10 more strikes, some received more than the other.

All these stabs feel pale in comparison to what he could truly do, so the boy decided to leave an unforgettable mark on one of these sushi craving humans.

He made a good 'U' turn after swimming a couple of meters away from these humanoids and then charged straight towards the closest one.

With a swing of his little tail, this enemy had to come up with ways of living down the humiliation of getting a direct stab in the anus. The shout for such pain outcompeted anyone else's here, his friends didn't know if they should have laughed or cried.

After landing his signature blow, the agile assassin swam away and felt confident enough to stay exposed, a couple of meters above these tall corals.

What he didn't know, an enemy had recovered from the damage enough to raise his speargun, pointing it at the fast moving fish and unleashing such an attack without a single piece of hesitation.

The spear pierced through the water much faster than the stingray could, it only took half a second for it to reach Timothy. This shot... well it wasn't working to the sea pancake's luck, quite the opposite come to think of it.

But...

Just a foot before it was about to devour the young one's soul, the stingray could hear a sound... much like a loud thud.

Spooked, he instantly turned around and noticed a familiar figure on its way to laying upside down in these salty reef waters.

A slender tunafish to be more exact, it had a spear bashed through its body so death was assured for this one although it was giving a minor fight.

Considering the recent occurrences, a fish of these species could only have been paired with Timmy's arch nemesis.

Well... at least this one took all the damage that could have most likely killed the stingray. He felt happy about this jackass being here but at the same time worried.

His burden grew massive once paying more attention to where this enemy came from, 10 more fish of this kind poked their ugly heads in the waters with Alba swimming in the middle and a group of dark coloured crabs crackling their feet against the coral.
