I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 156: North problems

Considering the collision up on the surface, all of his siblings were ready to just get the hell out of here. It is unlikely for humans to use a massive spear against stingrays, but they didn't want to take any chances.

To avoid detection the team of siblings swam away from the battleground, but still made sure that they didn't leave the portion of the reef that was covered with yellow. In terms of camouflage, it should help to perfectly fit in and avoid any predator - even humans.

The team wasn't really tired after making it out of that mess, this day was tremendously anticlimactic in terms of battle. Scaring away those sharks was more of a mock against the enemies rather than battle. So although they had fun, the rest of the day was just steps away from becoming boring.

It was, until they heard a strong shout coming from their left. Fixing their gaze towards that direction, they saw a fat fish bashing forward like a crazed lunatic.

Difficulty grew in the situation, this fish seemed bizarre but at the same time continued shouting a sentence that the hero was all too familiar with. "The holy tar demands your soul!"

"Thought that I killed all of you bastards before! The north side is supposed to be clear of this sect!" Situations like this felt repetitive but it was always interesting to investigate things that are related to such an attack, for the sake of information.

The enemy was just 20 meters away now so this short time-span had to be used in order to unleash a warning, "Whatever you do, try to avoid getting bitten! This bastard seems strong."

Meeting face to face with the enemy was the next step. This one barely seemed like it carried any teeth so that could be ruled out as a problem!

Within a second, it began dotting on the hero and went into a more proper chase. Since it didn't have any weaponry, the stingrays didn't really care of who this fat and yet short fish chased.

But out of a sudden, Timmy noticed a green gooey substance flying above his head. The enemy caught up right after but was disoriented enough to completely miss the target and dash above the hero's head, avoiding all collision.

"What the hell was that!" The sea-pancake asked, not referring to the enemy but whatever came before it.

"The blobfish shot it out of its mouth!" Snoopy pointed out but through that effort of pointing the nonsense out, he gave a bit less detail towards the surroundings.

The same green and gooey substance shot out across the water and landed on young Snoopy's face and then dripped down across the rest of his body. Such fate had managed to make the smart boy unleash a thundering howl of pain.

Worried, the rest of his siblings charged towards the boy to figure out what the hell was going on. That and to possibly help. Most of the siblings at least, were there. While Timothy was heading towards the enemy.

Anger was eating up the little hero's mind, because that green substance felt all too familiar and being hit by it seems death ensuring. And yet this crazed blob fish had coated one of his brothers with it!

The blue-dotted menace landed on the enemy's back and began bashing his marvelous tail down against the blob! Using venom felt stupid considering that this creature might likely be contaminated already. So he continued bashing the pointy tail against flesh for a few times.

But before he knew it, the enemy shot out yet another blast of goo. Unfortunate enough, this shot headed towards the rest of the sea-pancake's siblings!

And within a split second, they were all covered with the same green substance and all erupted in pain, hollers escaping through their lips as however this substance was causing pain - it felt unbearable.

Pissed off beyond prepare, his heart sinking towards anger and sadness the more his blood siblings yelled, he began attacking the enemy with every ability that was available.

Barb slashes became faster, jaws were used to rip off chunks of flesh by every bite. And to inflict a bit more damage, he unleashed the new found ability.

With just a short moment taken to think about it, his body heat erupted towards being more dangerous. Wanting to use this ability to its finest, through the same second he attached the belly against the enemy's back and heard it screech in pain.

Ignoring the boiling water that was floating around, Tim continued slashing against the enemy until an announcement was made.

[Blobfish killed. 20 system points have been given to you as a reward]

[Since this body is carrying foreign characteristics that make it less of a blobfish, you get an additional 20 points]

[Total system points = 242]

[Don't eat this fish, as it is highly contaminated. Even more than other fish who were in the same sect]

The system carried a good point but he wasn't really focused on eating right now, neither did he bother to listen at the rest of what had to be said from the system. Instead he dashed towards the siblings, worried that this bizarre and sudden battle had killed them.

Snoopy was the first to capture his view. This brother had risen from the group of bodies underneath and didn't carry any green gooey substance that seemed like tar. His skin seemed tremendously smooth and carried a dark grey colour, far different from the former shade.

Worse yet, it managed to reflect the sunlight that was far above their heads. Getting closer, the only question that Timmy could ask was. "What the hell happened to you?"

Such a question couldn't be answered no matter how much one would try. But Snoopy decided to sink this situation into even more confusion as he curled into a weird looking cone. A second later, he charged straight towards a big chunk of coral.

The speed that was paired towards such a charge was magnificently powerful. It wasn't even possibly to see which direction he moved towards, one would catch up only after hearing the collision against coral.

Within a few seconds, the same spot Snoopy had crashed against, began falling down thanks to the half-foot hole that was poked through the coral.
