I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 349: Soul trampling powers!

The lack of knowledge didn't stop the hero of course. He approached this odd pool and was curious to observe its contents.

But even though such a tiny effort had been pushed forward, he didn't really make any progress.

It didn't seem like the orb he was looking for, lurked anywhere in this blue substance, so by now it felt useless to stand close to this odd liquid.

For that same matter he now planned to back away. He was appealed by another idea, which featured the exploration of anything else that this gem-encrusted cavern had to offer.

But before he could do so, his attention was captured by something else.

A tiny light shone across the same pool he planned to get away from.

Now this detail was especially important, as this thing shone more than anything else in this cavern.

Such an aspect said a lot, as everything in this structure shone more than the naked eye could comprehend.

So of course it was beyond unique if a specific light could capture his attention, which was why his eyes dotted directly towards the pool.

But before he could get a proper glance of what went on, the same substance exploded!

Not in a literal manner, no. But the blue liquid did splash around in all directions, as something arose from underneath which put pressure against the pool!

The hero didn't need to think much, in order to figure out that this was a bad situation.

Whatever arose from this pool seemed assertive, so he wanted to avoid collision at all cost.

Which was why he slapped the waters as fast as he could, and propelled himself upwards for a whole meter.

Such a reaction was perhaps god sent. Because as he glanced down once more, he noticed three large spikes!

They were laid across the portion of the pool, where the sea-pancake had floated above just a moment ago.

It was no secret that he would have been dead by now if he didn't get out of the way. These spikes seemed deadly and were almost a meter tall each!

Any collision would have ended him for good, yet the problems did not stop there.

These thick, crystal spikes brought along more trouble after the initial attack.

Their tips broke off and shot upwards at grand speed. If he hadn't been careful enough to move out of the way in time, three bullet-wounds would have been through his chest.

Now he could only yell, "What the hell's going on here? Darned gems aren't supposed to act like this!"

Before he could properly finish that sentence, what remained of the spikes underneath him, broke into thousands of pieces!

They crashed into the blue pool, before they arose again. But this time they were more prepared than ever.

These gems hovered over the pool, and twirled around in an astounding speed. They worked together in order to form what seemed like a crystal fish!

Unlike the ones he had seen before, this fish was riddled with lines which signified the shattered portions, which were all stitched together!

That and there was a certain hostility to this green crystal fish's movements, it didn't seem friendly.

This sight made the hero nervous, so he muttered. "You better stay still..."

Contrary to what he demanded, the other side went ahead with what it initially planned to do.

It headed straight towards the hero at its full speed! Upon reflex, Timmy slapped the waters once more and bounced another meter higher.

This procedure had pushed him out of the way, so the enemy swam a few meters forward before it realised what went on.

By that time, the sea-disk had faced the opponent and put an idea into action. His aim was to assert dominance.

Which was why he shouted, "Soul boost!"

And of course this attack had forced a portion of the enemy's soul, out of its body.

But in this case, several streams of light burst out of the same target. This necessarily meant that several soul powers had been ripped off the same fish!

And once these streams entered his body, the young man felt incredibly powerful!

He had reaped quite some soul power from the previous enemies, and although the effects were temporary, they still went on due to the small pocket of time.

So now he was even more confident to face these enemies!

The collection of opponents had a portion of their souls ripped off just a moment ago, but they were still mostly unscathed.

So unsurprisingly, they charged towards the battle zone with grand confidence.

But the hero had gathered up all the power he needed, which was why he could unleash a counter attack!

"Soul snare!" His tone reverberated.

And within an instant, his soul had been locked with the collection of fighters in front of him!

Afterwards it only took a thought for him to halt this crystal fish on its spot!

He had attained full control of the enemies, but this time he didn't exactly intend to kill them.

Instead he questioned, "Can any of you understand me?"

The opponents that were gathered up to form the crystal fish, did not answer.

So he once more had to yell, "Do any of you speak my stingray language?"

Once more this opponent did not answer, but at the same time that wasn't a big surprise.

Timothy wanted to reap any bit of information out of them, but it doesn't look like these odd creatures were useful for such a matter.

So instead he decided to reap their souls bit by bit, just so he could permanently strengthen his own.

But that was when disaster broke out from another side!

Two more crystal fish emerged from the pool, and these ones seemed a bit more agile.

They didn't even use up a second in order to attack the hero!

But luckily he too felt ready, and unleashed the best counter attack that came into mind under that short moment.

"Soul snare!" He commanded with a scream.

And then felt a strong thud across his chest, as his very soul connected with both of these crystal fish.

But in this case he could sense that his heart was about to collapse. Regardless if such an organ had any relation with his soul, the young man felt beyond overwhelmed!

Timothy's vision darkened and he could feel himself slipping away. It was no surprise, as these countless crystal shards had to feature at least fifty souls in them!

He almost lost grip on reality, but once more he decided to do something smart.

"Soul boost!" He demanded.

And so, tens of streams came out of all three crystal fish. These green bits of light all made their way towards the hero.

Once they struck him, he felt immensely powerful once more, and felt confident that he could force the tides of this battle to his bidding.
