I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 48: High assassin

"Well fuck it! So much for being sneaky." Tim yelled out and stretched his free fin forward, pointing at one of the pufferfish.

And then waved the tip of his fin back and forth, demanding. "Come forth, water kisser."

It was uncertain if the masses on the other side of the stick understood what he just said. But either way it didn't matter, as the biggest of these beings charged right forward, while the rest remained behind.

Although his vision was blurry and not only because of how dark this place was, Timmy could spot danger approaching mainly because of how fat this fish was.

And therefore slapped his fins against the water, rapidly swimming just a foot behind.

His back arose higher, curled like a banana come to think of it, while his tail struck directly forward and was acting like a spear.

The big head continued to charge forward, its head was making directly for the stingray's exposed belly.

But such momentum was only a recipe to further trouble, as the banana formation was pushed through the waters, forced to move faster.

So what was originally supposed to be a spear like tail standing stiff on its place, became half a projectile.

The momentum of the big head, spun the stingray. And the banana formation lunged his tail right through the enemy's yellow belly.

[Checkered pufferfish killed. 10 system points have been given as a reward.]

[Total system points = 48]

"I did not expect this to be that easy." Tim answered, wondering what points this crazy lady was rattling about.

[Eating an adult checkered pufferfish grants the following.]

[Effect on health, +2 bars.]

[Effect on hunger, +15 bars.]

[Effect on sleep, non existent.]

[Effect on stamina, -10 bars.]

[Statistics have been saved in your collection and can be used endlessly upon request.]

[As for your question. Yet again you have discovered a weak spot.]

[In this case, just puncturing pufferfish can have them killed as the pain of having their sack popped is far beyond endurance.]

Hearing such information, Tim couldn't help yelling out. "I'm the greatest stingray alive!"

And then pushed the carcass away, screaming at the closest pufferfish. "Fight me! I've met coral tougher than you."

Accepting the challenge fearlessly although the big cheese was slaughtered in front of them, the checkered pufferfish's dorsal fin flickered rapidly through the water, all in for battle.

Next thing Timmy knew, the pufferfish struck him right on the noggin, much like an angry bull who got pinched on the bum.

The collision pushed the yellow coated boy a couple of feet away, but thankfully he wasn't alarmed with any health drop.

So continuing this battle became an option easy to follow, although his vision had become blurrier than ever all thanks to that head bump.

With his less damaged left fin, he gave a strong flap against the water! Which pushed the tail on the other end, to make quite a spin.

Holding it straight like a needle for the sake of the plan, the momentum built up with that impacting stingray spin, didn't fail to deliver what it was supposed to.

The very tip of his tail dug into the enemy's skin, and then slid away to the left, across what we can call a waist?

Spinning like that made the young boy face away from battle, so he turned around immediately so the enemies don't get the pleasure of landing a strike through a blind spot.

Spotting the pufferfish turn upside down blessed his limited vision next, its mouth hung open as well, which in many ways exclaimed what the deal was.

[Checkered pufferfish killed. 10 system points have been rewarded to you.]

[Total system points = 58]

"This is easy!" Tim mumbled and his confidence arose over the cave ceiling thanks to these couple of easy kills.

With full speed, he charged towards the 6 enemies in front of him, fear not nearly being a part of his subconscious at the moment, as if deleted from that tiny little brain.

Although high, he could understand what their weakness was, mostly because the system specified it.

After building up that golden 3 mp/h speed, being just a foot away from the enemies even. As if hitting the breaks, Tim flapped his left fin a few times stronger than the other.

Which indeed acted like pulling an emergency break, it played around with friction itself!

Because such an attempt leaned his entire body to the right, we can easily say that the built up momentum aided such a lean that a blink later was transformed into a spin.

The stinger shook the waters with a straight formation and the very tip met with an enemy's eye, escaping the mouth by a toenail.

After cutting that particular enemy across the big face, it slid another round and met a panicking pufferfish just on the other side.

And slit that enemy narrowly across the tail, reason behind it was the lack of balance that struck the sea pancake after the second spin.

Although high with the holy protection, he could understand whom the odds favoured after that spin lost its flavour.

So he dipped down in the mist with all the speed that the 7 centimetre across, fins could provide.

3 of these puffy enemies flapped their dorsal fins to follow the blue dotted idiot, but sometimes luck wasn't enough to handle things in life.

As they wandered around to see where the stingray was, one of these guards received what was in all aspects, unexpected.

"My ass!" The pufferfish yelled out in its own language, as a sharp pain captivated right where the anus was supposed to be.

Although it couldn't bend enough to check its anus, the pain and the very sense of not feeling anything clenching, gave a good hint.

That and, it couldn't feel the anal fin moving around so all odds weighed on the scale and 'screamed' out what happened.

Next, it could feel a sharper pain on the stomach and then again, afterwards once more.
