I’m a Stingray? - Chapter 347

At the end, Timmy decided that such odd behaviour from the shard’s side, shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

After all, it had beamed closer to his friend who drew powers from such an item. So sudden movements like these weren’t inconvenient.

Instead he traveled deeper towards this long tunnel, and hoped to find something else to do.

Sure it was peaceful to just swim through a long tunnel, but he felt beyond bored!

His wish was seemingly granted once more, as he met with a few more gem shards of the same kind!

They counted several in number and were laid across the tunnel’s flooring.

At first he thought nothing of this. Sure these gems were useful for one team member, but he could come back anytime to carry these shiny stones.

So he just continued to swim forward and hoped to see anything else, but the floor of this area put up a fight.

As similar shards grew in quantity, they were laid all over the place!

And before he could ignore them once more, the situation shifted for the worst!

These countless pearl-sized crystals arose an inch or so above the tunnel’s ground, and then surrounded themselves with quite some quantities of dirt.

For a moment he thought that these walls came to life, but that was just half of the case here.

Once these gems disappeared in the chunks of mud that coated most of this tunnel, disaster itself was swift to unravel!

As several piles of dirt formed themselves into the shape of a fish!

With those details comprehended, it took Timmy little effort to figure out what went on here.

Likewise he protested this situation and dashed towards the side of the tunnel, that seemed less crowded with these gems.

But once he got a good view of the direction he headed towards, it took little effort to figure out that such a path had been sealed!

A gem shone in the middle of what seemed like a tilting wall, so it was no secret that these enemies were tactical.

Timmy turned his back on that wall, and faced the rest of the dilemma.

There were about fifteen fish which were made either entirely out of dirt, or with hints of stone as well.

Undoubtedly, the situation had swiftly developed beyond his favour.

Earlier his group almost perished as they fought one of these darned mud-fish, so it was no secret that such a number of enemies was deadly.

Regardless of that harsh fact, he didn’t want to budge. Instead he dwelled in his head, just to figure out the best attack against these creatures.

The old power-moves had proven useless to a certain extent until now, especially against an enemy of this liking.

But the few new powers were still unused, and this seemed like a proper situation to try them out!

“Soul boost!” He was quick to shout.

The sea-pancake remembered the effects of such a soul oriented power, and he intended to figure out just how powerful they were.

Within an instant, these odd fish were forced towards a sudden shift. They moved half-a-foot away from their spot, as this soul attack was stronger than expected!

Throughout those same seconds, multiple beams of green light ruptured out of these enemies!

And these portions of light, all twirled their way towards the hero!

It took no time whatsoever for all those portions of green light to enter the sea-pancake’s body. And once they did, he could feel a drastic difference.

He had likely shaved a tiny bit from each enemy’s soul, but darn these creatures were powerful!

Timmy felt as if the world had shifted entirely towards his control. And his confidence unsurprisingly spiked as well, he felt ready to take these monsters down.

Likewise he once more shouted, “Soul boost!”

The same procedure was repeated, and all of this soul energy made the hero feel even stronger.

But this time he didn’t intend to weaken these muddy-fish anymore. Instead, he wanted to try out a battle-move that his sister embraced.

Haze to be exact. A few months ago when she attained her powers, she had a specific cruel attack; he wanted to mimic such raw strength!

So he hollered, “Soul snare!”

The sea-disk did not intend to trap just one of these enemies, but divided his soul power towards all of them.

And it seemed like the effort had proven useful, as he felt a strong tug on his heart.

It felt as if his body was suddenly dragged in all directions all at the same time, which proved that he had attained control of the entire tribe of enemies!

He didn’t plan to fiddle their muddy tails until he could swim away from this mess.

No, the power he had obtained from the souls of these enemies, has boosted his power-moves of that same branch.

So he necessarily was strong enough to fully control these opponents!

The method of battle dominance seemed cruel, but it was pale in comparison to what he planned to do next.

“Crumble you bastards!” He hollered.

And then with the aid of a few commands that he gave out with his mind, the hero forced these darned species to twist towards an uncomfortable direction.

He forced all of them to face upwards, but in this case that was all these monsters could do.

They continued to look up, until their muddy backs couldn’t take it anymore.

Within a few seconds they all snapped in half, and crumbled into a little mud pile on the tunnel’s flooring.

He didn’t ‘fold’ these enemies out of existence like his sister could, but this was good enough.

Since these odd creatures were forced to submit to the hero’s bidding, he decided to end their humiliation.

That was why he yelled, “Soul reaping!”

Unlike the previous attack which boosted his soul temporarily, this method would chip a portion of the enemy’s soul and make it his own, permanently.

It was a method he could use to densify his own soul, and in this case it was more than worth it, as these opponents were beyond powerful.

If Timothy had not been agile enough to use their own souls against them, any other effort would have proven futile!
