Tim may be the busiest stingray out there right now, as he wholeheartedly accepted to be part of the blistering mana sect! He was to be very busy soon, because Marlo introduced him to a lot of things today, regarding magic, and he wanted to try out everything that was available!
He wanted to merge his powers together, for example, just so he could hopefully spend less mana on them. That was a good idea, however, Marlo instructed otherwise. He said, "Timothy, let me say that I'm glad you joined our sect, but, please don't rush things. Power merging requires 500 points of decent quality mana, it's really expensive, so don't merge your powers unless you're absolutely sure that you'll need them that way." "Oh, I need them." He said. Tim wanted to merge his flaming fins ability, with his recently acquired, shivering blood ability. Both of them were great individually, but when he used them together, there was a resulting dual effect, which seeped his mana twice as fast! He'd lose eight points of mana every second, and that wasn't affordable whatsoever, especially since he needed a whole hour to replenish about the same amount of points! Bottom line, he needed a loophole, and power-merging may be it. Anyway, he didn’t talk about specifics with Marlo because he didn’t trust him so much. Instead, he asked a couple of one sided questions. He asked, "I need to merge a couple of my powers, Marlo. How long do you think it would take to upgrade my mana quality, huh? I can only generate low quality mana, and that's probably not good enough to merge things." "Oh, it's not. It looks like you haven't even reached the second level of mana quality, which is called rustic mana… and with that considered, you won't be merging your powers anytime soon. However, I can help you get there." Marlo followed along. "You can, huh?" Tim asked. In actuality, he only wanted help from the system, regarding mana, so he didn’t want to adapt any external ideas. However, he was willing to hear out what the other said. Marlo added, "You just need to fill up your mana pool, and then, I'll give you a spell to cast on yourself. You'll either explode as a result, or you'll start gathering up rustic mana! One can never tell, so I hope you're lucky." Tim thought this idea over afterwards. He really wanted to start gathering up better quality mana, however, he didn’t like the idea of simply exploding. No one would like that, as in this world, there were a lot of things to look forward to, rather than just die! He didn’t want to die, so as he nodded along to what Marlo was saying, he also waited for any word from the system’s side. The system did not disappoint, as she followed along quickly, and said. [Marlo is somewhat correct, Timothy. That is one way to upgrade the quality of your mana, however, you can also buy the upgrade from me, which is a far safer option. It all depends if you want to be patient about this upgrade or not, but, if you want to be cheap about it, then you can take the dangerous, spell-casting route, the one that Marlo offered.] He did not answer to that immediately, no. Tim was thinking about his options here, and he was also listening to Marlo as he spoke. The reef shark had a lot to say, and eventually the conversation led to something good; He wanted to introduce Tim to a bunch of other stingrays! He was really enthusiastic about the latter part, because in this new life, he never saw a stingray before. Anyway, as for the mana levels, he made a simple decision! If a mana upgrade wasn’t available in this new set of upgrade options, then he’d choose whatever was closely available! In his head, it was less dangerous to risk an explosion, rather than to spend time gathering up thousands of system points, just to advance towards the upgrade that he wanted. The system didn’t give him the upgrades that he was curious about, no. Instead, she aligned the upgrades based on what Tim needed the most, and in other words, he’d need to work a lot, just to get to the super interesting, rustic mana upgrade! He was not willing to wait that much. Anyway, about ten minutes later, he met a few stingrays. He was happy about this, especially since he noticed that one of the stingrays looked exactly like him! He saw a bluespotted ribbon-tail ray, and he couldn’t be happier about it! Tim eyeballed the said stingray, and then asked. “You look like me… a lot like me, are we brothers?” “You mean am I your sister? I’m a girl.” The other emphasized, and furthermore she added. ”Also, no we are not related. I used to be a stinging nettle plant, erg… about a hundred years ago. I assumed the form of a stingray only recently.” “Gosh, you’re old.” Timothy expressed himself, carelessly. What he said was a bit offensive, but in his mind, he had complimented the lady. It wasn’t easy to survive in this world, and he couldn’t even imagine how a plant could shapeshift to begin with, so what he said was purely meant as a compliment. However, the other understood his words differently. She said, “There’s no need to call me an old hag, sir… yes, I am old, but age doesn’t matter much nowadays, does it? In fact, it is my understanding that age never mattered! There are immortals flying above our heads, after all, so please, don’t be rude.” Tim then bickered with the other for about five minutes, but eventually, they agreed that what he said was meant as a compliment. He didn’t mean any harm, and now, since they put that topic aside, the team of seven stingrays (Tim included), could focus on what mattered the most; Magic! Apparently, this specific team of stingrays were on a mana root hunt, since they too were pretty weak, and needed to be overloaded with mana in order to progress. They were a collection of the weakest members in the blistering mana sect, and it was time to change that! The little old lady that Tim talked to, who went by the name of Ortana, was pretty weak too! Her mana was as weak as Tim’s, it was level one (low quality), and she urged to change that. She had been powerful enough to shapeshift multiple times throughout her life, but that damaged her mana quality quite a bit, and now she was looking to fix that. Collectively, these seven stingrays had a goal now, and they were willing to follow it with every ounce of willpower they got. Marlo gave them the directions of where a cluster of mana roots may be hidden in, and now, they had to follow these directions carefully, if they were to reach the said cluster! Attention to detail was key, if they were to succeed.

Chapter 374 - How many feet did Gussy grow?
Gustav continued sacrificing his levels for the sake of upgrading his body. He wanted to be bigger, point being that he wanted to be a bigger giant, or anything else that he shapeshifted into, so he came to the shores of the reef fully ready to sacrifice seven levels of his mana quality!For the time being, he didn’t care much about his mana quality, since he had won it recently without suffering through painful, slow upgrades all that much, but furthermore, he knew that he was amongst the weakest in his group in terms of mana quality. It was difficult to value something that was third to last in terms of friendly ranks, so he sacrificed seven of his levels without thinking about it twice!Now, he shared the last-place with Lena, who had barely put in a couple of months into reaching the first level within the fifth realm of mana. He wasn’t worried about this, because he could get his levels back by simply poking at one of the many mana roots that Timothy had stashed within the needle
Chapter 373 - Gustav's ambitions
Out of every member in the team, Gustav may be the most ambitious one. Unlike Timothy, he didn’t have a system to carve a portion of his path to greatness, and he definitely didn’t have a great IQ to support greater means, or greater goals, but that didn’t stop him. What he lacked in intelligence and everything else, he made up with ambition, a common urge for power, and this great need to kill the monsters that he had a deep-rooted hate towards!Due to recent events, Gustav despised dragons, and he had every reason to despise them. This deep-rooted hate was the source of his ambition!While the rest of the team carried out their work, or research inside or outside the city, he flew back to the coral reef. He felt great comfort when he was in the proximity of the reef, and furthermore, he found comfort in the fact that hundreds of goblins could protect him if anything went wrong. It was the best place to carry out experiments, and since he could shapeshift into greater species of eagl
Chapter 372 - Pure lava
Garry was led to the burrow of the groundhog he befriended. The burrow was close by, several meters away, and it didn’t quite look appealing from the outside, which was expected, as the burrow only had a couple of holes that they considered entrances.Well, one entrance was a fake one. It led nowhere, and it was used to keep predators busy, such as foxes.The other entrance led to the deep interior of the burrow, and quite frankly, Garry was astounded when he squeezed into it. This was no mere home with weak, dirt walls to hold it up, no, as everything within the burrow was enhanced by a six-inch layer of carved stone! The stone walls within the burrow weren’t placed randomly. They weren’t bumpy, but rather, they were smooth, and had these rows of symbolic words carved into it with a language that he could not understand. Nevertheless, he was impressed.“Woa…” Garry sighed, as he looked at the walls around him.“Why are you loafing about here?” The guiding groundhog asked. “This is o
Chapter 371 - AAAAA!!
As of recently, Garry was at the pinnacle of his life! He became an Arch Mage at a fairly young age, young for a demonic basilisk, at least, and ever since he got to this rank, he had eased up on a lot of his beliefs or principles, and was just enjoying his life.In hindsight, he didn’t care much to progress into the following rank, which was that of an Arch Magus. He figured that such a title was years away from him, if not decades, so he simply didn't think about it much. He wasn't worried that he stumbled into another mana bracket as soon as got to the third level of the seventh realm of mana. He was okay with it.Initially, one of the main reasons he chose to stay in this universe rather than going back to the universe of hell, was because he wanted to help Timothy, his former summoning master, progress. He felt indebted to help Timothy, because he had saved him from deadly wounds back in those old ruins, so he chose to stay.However, he couldn’t help Timothy progress all that muc
Chapter 370 - Dark Moon
“Freedom… it outweighs everything in the world, be it mana or gold.” She thought, as she breathed in the crisp air at the crack of dawn.Fortana was up in the sky, along with her dragon, and she was now about forty-kilometers away from the City of Fik. She decided to leave the city for a short while, for two reasons.Firstly, she and her team were stuck in the city for an undetermined amount of time. Timothy said that they’d be stuck in the City of Fik for around a month, but she figured that they’d be stuck there for several months, and she could not remain stationary for that long. She spent most of her life stuck in the Dungeons of the Old, and now that she had gotten a taste for freedom, she could simply not remain in one place for long, otherwise she would either sink into depression, or suffer through wave after wave of anxiety. She didn’t like it.The second reason why she left the city was primarily related to her self-absorbed need to improve her arsenal. Most Expert Mages ha
Chapter 369 - Bored
The eight-hundred Expert Mages that joined the frontline were quite capable. They were very useful on the count that Timothy and his team spent a few hours nudging them in the right direction, and once they got a hang of what to do, there was no stopping them!Ten more shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orcs had tried to attack the city before sunset, and the Expert Mages, otherwise known as the city's soldiers, had killed them all! They killed them without losing a single man or woman in the exchange of attacks.They discovered that the giant orcs had this odd ability to toss exploding fireballs around almost randomly, but they worked around it. Ten mages shot fireballs at the giants to overwhelm them, essentially blind them, and then twenty mages snuck below the line of fire, and froze the giants solid! This method worked like a charm, and Timothy had helped them develop it, so the mages didn't lose arms and legs during their many fights.The dark giants helped them. Fortana insisted for the
