I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 81: Legendary

In just a second, the stingray slowed down and stopped on its spot. That's when the next and yet hardest to find step initiated. He began to feel a violent shake, it took just a moment of common logic to realise how it was happening.

He could even feel the movements of the fish, specifically how it was arching that back and then letting the belly round up like a ball. At that point it was easy to determine that the enemy was doing the cow-cat yoga pose violently, just to shake off the little critter on his back.

Realising what he considered as a barricade to further plans, the boy clung his teeth against the enemy's flesh, fighting with all of his will to hang on.

At this rate if he had let go, the hump of this tuna's back would have hit his face hard enough to cause actual damage.

But...

The unexpected followed after as the barb that was bashed near the enemy's spine, found a new place in the waters. Simply, it was no longer stuck in there and was given the opportunity to move free.

Seeing this as a problem in terms of hanging on, the boy took a swing against the waters in aims of bashing that marvellous barb back in the enemy.

But at that second, the tunafish moved its belly down which led to the swing being nothing but a blank one, who only managed to touch water.

In the same second, the imbalance accompanied by the shake, forced the boy to take a stronger bite against the enemy. But also, a bit of his head was hurt because the sea pancake's body became pretty much vertical at that point.

Thankfully it wasn't enough to cause any actual damage, that durability upgrade is working like a charm.

The bite was enough to bite through a chunk of flesh, which inevitably led to losing grip of the enemy, forcing the plans to go all south.

Finding the opportunity, the tunafish made a dash for it right towards the mist and didn't give anyone the pleasure of being able to follow.

Understanding quite well that this enemy was too strong to beat, he seeked for Haze and shouted. "We need to get out of here!"

"Never!" His sister answered back and stalked the mist, waiting for the enemy to return.

Feeling that this type of stubbornness was wildly familiar and frankly not liking the fact, the boy hollered like a baboon. "This tuna will kill us both, do you see how large it is?"

Through their loudly projected bickering, clashed the enemy whom was in topic, captivating the battlefield and demanding the lives of whom inflicted against it.

"This is becoming insane." Tim murmured to himself and wished to have that tunafish hunting shark here, he would have been really helpful.

The enemy passed by them and swam straight up, heading for the surface of the sea again, as if doing a belly flop against the water would be of any help here.

Looking at his sister, Timmy decided to add through that quick moment of free time. "If you aren't fleeing, at least try to do anything useful, like stabbing that fucker through the eye."

Staggered by such an idea, she swam closer and asked. "That actually works? I found it stupid to get too close to the mouth."

Giving the idea a firm foundation by now, Timothy encouraged. "It works, we need to blind the enemy or else this battle will last all day."

At that second, the enemy swam right at them and bashed against the male of this pair with the tip of its nose, the system afterwards alarmed.

[Health, -5 bars]

[Health bar = 72]

Afterwards the enemy swam straight down, thankfully not dragging the little boy down there as well. Gaining orientation, he felt staggered and mumbled. "A head butt actually managed to cause damage for once."

But feeling sick of having a low health quite often, he thought. "I can't let my health drop below 70."

And then rushed out of the spot, knowing the routine of the enemy by now, expecting that it would charge at this exact same spot.

Swimming 3 meters to the side under less than a second, he could feel the water behind, vibrate in a manner strong enough that it gave a brief indication. The enemy had surely once again pierced the water at its usual dangerous speed.

But once turning around to observe the situation, something did not quite make sense... Haze was nowhere to be seen.

His only conclusion became that the enemy had eaten the young lady, so Timothy charged straight up with aims of reaching the inflictor and tearing its stomach apart just to get his sister out.

Although she was a stubborn loud mouth in this battle, this brave sea pancake can not let her die... no sibling should die anytime soon, that's what he thought.

Reaching half way there to the surface based from the starting point he was on, spotting the tunafish swim straight down became the inevitable.

But...

Through the blur of a vision, he also managed to spot a little critter attached to the enemy's face... this was none other than Haze.

At this point he became perplexed beyond prepare, but yet proud to have such a family member. His sister just needed an idea and took it soon as one revealed itself, not to mention that it wasn't exactly easy to follow such an idea, yet she did.

Swimming down after the two, he saw the lady stingray swim up and shout out like a barbarian, but yet in joy. "I stabbed both its eyes!"

"Wow both?!" Timmy shouted back, not quite certain if what he was hearing is true.

At this point, he even began to think that the system lied about him being the only marine animal with a system... because Haze's hunting skills was more than prodigious, it was legendary.

Enhancing the thought of hunting now that the odds favoured them just by a hunch more, Timmy swam right down and gestured for his sibling to follow, yelling. "We need to stab it all around the head, I have a feeling that's its weak spot!"
