I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 239: Island (end)

Gerlach called out for the raging grouper a few times, but she ignored every call and just chased what the blood in these waters demanded!

She continued to charge against humans who had entered the waters, and was purely unyielding in terms of giving them freedom.

Eventually, this raging lady had managed to immobilize more than a few humans. It was enough to tame the battle to her favour, but that perk had only lasted so long!

Humans can be often dumb, but they could see the pool of blood that circulating near the shores. It was even more disturbing when corpses began floating above the waters.

So with those circumstances, they stopped rushing in the sea and just began shooting spears from the comfort of sand itself! This was the grand reason behind why these humans obtained the upper hand in battle.

They even managed to kill the biggest shark that had unleashed this chaos, she had been speared tens of times now. She was lying dead, beached thanks to her bold ideas and craves for blood.

Most of these humans were blazingly confused, regarding why these sharks were attacking so violently. It was just not in their nature for sharks to be bold enough to beach themselves, for such reasons.

But regardless of the confusion, these humans knew something for sure, these sharks have to be killed! That and medical assistance had to be called out, for the sake of healing those who had survived the abnormal attack.

All of this chaos happened in just a few short moments. Osira needed a bit more time to realise that another one of these sharks had been beached and slaughtered!

Such a result felt like a great loss. Because although she was blood-driven, the good lady wanted to aid the fight against humans.

While she tried to think of a new way of inflicting damage, a great portion of the blood had been dismantled through the sea waters. It had fiddled away and spread in all directions, so it became a tad tricky to sense it.

Likewise, this result had helped the grouper-lady calm down, and right now she was clear minded enough to remember that she had friends.

It took a short moment to locate them, because this group was not aiding in battle any longer, simply because they couldn't.

Sure, a few stings could be inflicted against these humans, but the chances of getting speared were much larger and it just wasn't worth the risk!

Seeing that everything about this situation was going to hell, the black-grouper decided to regroup with her friends and just get out of here! She did not have a connection with these random sharks, so their deaths felt irrelevant.

But before she decided to swim away, the smallest shark of that little revenge-craving group, had escaped the sand and joined the sea waters. With it, this brave shark had brought in another human, who was unleashing yet another bloody mist. This land-walker was alive and tried so hard to break free!

It was a pale attempt, as the shark began chomping on this victim! And such repetitive wounds aided to gift the blessing of death, against this enemy of marine life!

The amount of blood was tempting, it gave Osira an urge to break loose and even beach herself for the sake of attaining more blood! But the quantities weren't enough, so she had a brief grasp of control over her own being.

Furthermore, it took little thinking to realise that this was the only shark that survived the chaos, which gave a great hint that this battle was nearing an end. josei

Under these short few seconds, the shark locked eyes with Osira and used one of its pelvic-fins to point towards the west.

And afterwards, a male tone erupted from the same fish. "Keep heading that way to find the stingray eaters!"

Without any second reference or willpower to continue the conversation, this shark leaped towards the humans once more, which of course meant that he had beaches himself again!

And a few moments later, the group of friends could hear several spears whistling through the air!

If the shark wasn't killed by those shots, it will be killed soon enough. This battle was over and it was difficult to determine who the loser was, because both sides of the stick had suffered tremendous losses!

But now, any other confusion can be pushed aside, as one thought was radiating with certainty: Osira was not going to let her friends suffer any similar fate, to what the sharks had just experienced!

So after reaching them up close, she urged. "Let's keep heading west, this place is more dangerous than all those sharks I killed!"

It didn't take much effort to make all of them agree, they wanted to get the hell out of here and Gerlach encouraged it especially.

Was this entire battle worth it? Most likely no. The best guess is that this small group of sharks had wanted revenge, but Timmy and his friends did not have any benefits out of this whatsoever.

The sharks who were supposed to give solid information, were dead! And the only clue they have gotten is to just keep heading west. It didn't feel new, but at least the direction felt somewhat proper instead of an endless rabbit hole.

Furthermore, these friends felt tired. Because ever since they have woken up today, three deadly situations were thrown against them, one after the other.

These heavy circumstances had made this overall task a bit difficult to understand. Was this environment just too dangerous, or was the mission they had just an invitation for trouble? Because this amount of trouble under such a short period of time, just seemed unrealistic!

Regardless of what this journey would bring next, the team did not want to stop here and had all motives to find the killers.

But at the moment they needed a bit of time to rest, even if that time stretched just a couple of hours. This break wasn't exactly aimed to tame things such as hunger and energy, but that was a bonus.

Instead, half of the group aimed to regenerate their powers. All of them knew how necessary such a procedure was, especially since they considered Osira as her trump card if things got rough!

So after reaching the borderline of which separated shallow waters from the deep portions, it became a tad easier for the group of friends to find a small little hole to hide in.

Being hidden from any other enemy, gave the group enough protection to properly relax. Apart from resting their bodies, most of them were trying to comprehend these massive killing sprees that the day had offered.

Of course this day had been heavy on their consciousness, and right now they were trying to derive what's good from bad. That, and is this way of living truly in their blood?

Most of the team had these heavy thoughts, apart from Timothy of course who felt more self assured than ever! This level of confidence allowed the young man to tinker with other thoughts, and he was unravelling them wide like a canvas.

Right now he felt almost like the weakest member of the group, and did not want to lag behind thanks to such circumstances.

It took a little amount of contemplation, to figure out that he wanted to focus on tasks. Specifically since after every tenth of them that becomes completed, can raise health and other bars like that.

Eventually, such a decision will pay off more. And the thought of being useless through this mission, aided him to be a tad more motivated. Finishing tasks was one thought, but he also wanted to attain a lot of system points.

The massive price he had to pay in order to increase creative intelligence, will behave like a setback for sure. But that did not demotivate the young man as he was craving to become stronger.

With all those thoughts considered, the system immediately introduced what can be labelled as the next motive.
