I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 265: Crack

Timothy had for once fully understood what the deal was; but yet he still aimed to irritate the enemy, especially this one whom he simply failed to take seriously.

That was why he followed along with a simple question, "Oh yeah? Who's gonna get punished then?"

Towards such a question, the latter couldn't say anything due to the sheer amount of irritation, and just decided to unleash a heavy sigh instead.

The conversation had been cut short without a doubt, one side had no motive to continue it; and the other side didn't know how to drag it along. That was why, the only thing they could do now was battle it all out!

One of these marine animals was more impatient than the other, and simply barged towards battle without the slightest consideration of strategies or tactics ~ that swift someone, was the silver god.

His short tail was torturing the waters left and right, as he lunged forward like a defective torpedo!

Timmy was for sure a noticeable dumbass in many situations, but putting up a good fight was a throne that strictly refused to hang by a thread!

So unsurprisingly, even though he was given little time to react against this attack; he still manages to find a way.

By simply slapping his fins against the salty waters, and lunging upwards - ultimately getting out of the way! The little menace had upgraded his bodily strength quite a while ago, so such a quick reflex wasn't surprising.

The silver god ended up simply smashing against one of this room's white walls. Such a result was surprising, since more balance was expected from someone who referred himself as a god; but in this case it was advantageous.

Because even though Timothy was astonished by how one gem was cracked, thanks to the pufferfish's crash, he still continued to use this opportunity.

By simply following the enemy, and managing to deliver a message with his grand quill that was dipped in venom!

His barb swiftly met with the enemy's seemingly boneless back, and the result felt quite adequate.

Since the little sea-disk had managed to puncture through the enemy's back and belly, by using the bumble-bee-formation!

The battle felt quite anticlimactic at this point, because the silver god began twitching thanks to the devouring pain - which ultimately meant that death was close for this pufferfish.

That was why Tim swiftly pulled back and awaited for the venom to beat this man down. Just now he began thinking that the enemy's power was far over-estimated. Because after a bit of thinking, he figured out that the enemy's skin wasn't even tough!

The prime example was that a simple stab was enough to make this puffer weep in pain. For someone named after silver, this didn't feel right; it should have been tougher to puncture.

However, since this enemy was close to proving if there was an afterlife for marine animals, Timmy felt like this was the best time to exchange some words.

And he decided that it would be good to reap some benefits out of this as well.

So quite casually, he questioned. "Okay since you're going to die now, do you mind telling me how to cure the silver worm poison?"

One would think that the question itself would be a bit heavier, since this could be the last exchange of dialogue between these two. But no, that wasn't the case whatsoever here.

The silver god felt quite conflicted at the moment, because he couldn't decide what to say. There were a couple of thoughts in his mind - one was a statement and the other was a question.

Curiosity managed to win, that was why this puffer decided to ask. "You actually survived a silver worm's poison? That's impossible!"

The little man who projected such a sentence, felt quite sure about such a fact. Because even though his energy was drifting away thanks to the massive stab-wound, he still attained enough power to yell.

And such discomfort from the other side of the stick, managed to give the stingray a lot of confidence.

Because he seemed to have survived what was considered as an impossible task! He felt tremendously cocky, even though he understood that the system did all the work before.

That was why he decided to answer with, "Yes I survived it, now tell me how to puke the rest of it? You're dying anyway so you don't need to keep it a secret from anyone anymore."

A mumble was heard from the latter afterwards. It was difficult to understand it for a moment, but then Timmy understood that one word was being repeated over and over.

"Fool, fool... fool!" That was what the pufferfish uttered, and it managed to build quite a bit of discomfort.

Because a thought began creeping in the little boy's subconscious, what if this poison didn't have a cure? What if it carried dangers that were yet to show themselves?

These thoughts were quite frightening, but since the other side was refusing to give any important information, the hero was getting ready to land another blow.

It would be better if this enemy died now, because the dilemma could be forgotten after that point. There wasn't nearly a good reward in these caverns, apart from these couple thousand of system points; so why bother to stay down here any longer?

After all, there was a group of great-white sharks to kill anyway. That was what they had travelled far from home for anyway, and he wanted to focus on that task again ~ anything would be better than this madness.

But yet this pufferfish still continued to mumble, and the hero wanted that to cease right now, because it was becoming a tad frustrating.

However, that was when the sea-pancake's attention was overtaken by a crackling sound that came from right in front of him!

It took no effort whatsoever, to figure out that one of these numerous gems had cracked! A black and very thin line was spread across it at first, and then countless branches spread near that same line.

This was the same spot where this accursed silver god had crashed against, just earlier!
