I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 280: Polite bastards

Collision, in this situation was another word, for a crackling sound! Its strong vibrations felt more like a crash, rather than a successfully hit target!

Such an impact gave out quite a good hint, regarding just how powerful Osira's attack could be!

In the close distance a bloody mist had erupted. And it didn't take much thinking to figure out that this crimson colouring, came out of that same shark!

The scene became even more horrific, when a massive shark had begun slowly creeping out of that cloud.

It's mouth was hanging open, and a bunch of its teeth were missing too. Not to mention, the creature's face seemed quite mis-shaped right now, and there was a round wound across its nose!

With these circumstances considered, it was no secret that Osira had managed to land a direct kill. Such a result helped to understand just how powerful she was!

The carcass continued to float forward for a few more meters, and this was when they managed to have a firm peek of just how big this shark was.

Although it felt odd to discover anything like this, this massive beast's body was about fifteen-feet long!

Tremendous for sure, and its fatty features made the bastard seem even bigger. Thinking about it now, it felt highly illogical for a small little grouper, to cause such deadly damage with a single shot!

Crazy without a doubt, but now was not the time to glance in amazement, or ponder the means of fair play - because another shark was approaching from the far perimeter.

It took a bit more effort to recognize this shark, because it was smaller in comparison; but the threat it posed, managed to make itself visible.

This shark had approached them from behind, which made this situation slightly difficult to understand, because this smaller beast came from the opposite direction of the first carcass!

Such a scene managed to raise a grand question: does this shark belong in the same group?

That was for later to decide. They could ask Gerlach of course, but the enemy was approaching quick and its rapid body language, gave a great hint what this wretched marine animal aimed for!

Before the black-grouper, who respectively was the strongest in this team, could have done anything to humble this new attacker ~ the smallest critter in this little circle of friends, decided to grab this battle by the horns!

And that was Gerlach! He leaped off lady Osira's back, and directly charged towards the enemy, who was already just ten meters away!

Since the sheer amount of power that was stored in his leap, wasn't something that could be under-estimated ~ Osira ended up kissing the sand, in a split of a second.

She was always the one who carried this old man around, and often became a victim to his leaps; but his tremendous power could only be appreciated in this situation.

Because within a blink of an eye, he managed to travel five meters forward! And since the enemy was swimming at top speed as well, it took little to no effort for both of them to collide!

And the crash was quite noteworthy, as it too managed to cause a cloud of blood to erupt and spread in every close-by direction!

What the geezer proved better at, was stealth. He was tiny, and the only attack move he could inflict was quite strong too!

The grand example here was that he had managed to utterly blow the enemy's brains off; yet only an insignificant thud was heard from the actual collision!

Deadly for sure, but Osira felt that this attack was unnecessary - the old man could have sat this one out.

Simply because it shouldn't have been too difficult for the young woman to kill a smaller shark, right after killing a big one. She still had energy to spare.

However, it might not be the best time to debate now regarding who should attack and when, because other aspects craved attention.

There weren't any threats in clear sight, but there was another issue that managed to steer out a bit of trouble.

After Osira arose from the sand that she had been bashed against, a specific urge of hers began revealing itself!

Blood! She craved blood! It was no secret that a shark could bleed a lot, especially after such fatal shots were bashed against them.

And once these ounces of blood, began mixing with the salty sea-waters, her sniffing senses spiked up and recognized nothing but this substance!

It was a bit spooky, because she was behaving like a hyperactive vampire, but it was a problem that they had no option but to deal with.

Their life in these waters often led to slaughters of this kind. So now they had to deal with the lady swiftly pacing around in circles, because she was just bustling with energy!

Her energy was certainly difficult to comprehend, but it didn't exactly pose any threats right now. So they could only lie in wait here.

Dana had been the calmest through this slaughter, because her worries solely revolved around the very boy she had a fancy for, rather than any other trouble that this place could offer.

With a bit of effort towards speech, she encouraged. "See, you don't need to fight. Our friends can handle sharks any day."

And to encourage this thought even further, she also added. "Take your time to heal... however the system can help you with that? We got this."

Such a conversation failed to be continued, as most were preoccupied with the minor aftermath, that came from killing a couple of sharks. So the best option was to continue waiting here, all of this blood should attract other targets eventually.

And unsurprisingly so, in a matter of minutes they saw a group of three sharks, approaching from the far distance ~ these ones seemed calmer, so the team didn't exactly rush towards an attack. It was best to observe for now.

Upon further inspection, it was easy to notice that these great-whites were bigger in comparison to the seven-foot-long shark, that Gerlach had killed a moment ago.

And once they got close enough, their cumulative size was overwhelming, to the point of causing discomfort even.

These potential enemies didn't even have to do anything special, in order to pose a threat.

But confusion had struck the group's side, which led to an uncertainty regarding just how to approach this situation.

Because these great whites had reached so close, that they were just a few feet away. And yet they showed no sign of hostility.

And what struck as even more surprising, was how one of these sharks, pointed one fin towards the carcasses and calmly recited a query.

This massive fish had simply asked, "Can we eat these things?"
