Tim won the battle, he killed a very dangerous stingray. However, he felt disgusted about this, because in a sense, he felt as if he killed a human being! He felt that this was a horrible thing to do, even if it was for the greater good.
Normally he would celebrate for such a tremendous victory, and perhaps he should. He killed a creature that was likely multiple levels above him, in terms of mana quality, which was something to celebrate about, however, he remained idle. Tim didn’t care about the little amount of points he got in exchange, and he didn’t care about the mana points he lost either. He just floated there, almost motionlessly, and continued to contemplate. The system broke his train of thought, as she announced. [You have accumulated a total of 570 system points. Also, 178 points of mana remain in your mana pool.] Tim did not care about all that right now, but the few astounding facts remained erected. He killed a really powerful stingray, a powerful mage even, with the aid of his low quality mana. This detail came to show that anyone could kill anyone, regardless of their mana qualities! If one had the right tools for the job, one could kill a far stronger opponent, as long as the said opponent hadn’t invested in bodily durability all that much. Bob the stingray had been powerful for a moment there, but his skin was also soft, like that of any random stingray. That had been his main weakness, and Tim had acknowledged this weakness from the beginning, and used it to put an end to the battle. He had been efficient, but now, he was also depressed. Ortana swam towards him, about a minute later, and she was a bit more enthusiastic in comparison. The rest of the group of stingrays was gone, yes, but that didn’t crush her spirit all that much. Deep inside, she was an old, stinging nettle plant, after all, so she did not care for friendship or companionship. At first, she yelled out. "Are you alive there, Tom?" Ortana was a bit concerned, because Tim hadn't moved much after he won the battle. It wasn't a surprise that she even assumed him dead. However, he helped the other find a bit of relief, as he said. "I'm alive, don't worry. Also, my name is Timothy… Tim for short." "I can't promise that I'll remember that," She followed along. Afterwards, without even mentioning the poor stingrays who had been torn into a million pieces just moments ago, she went right into business, as she started looking for the mana roots! Regardless of her lacking memory, Ortana was a smartish lady, so she had assumed that the cause of this destruction was solely mana. More specifically, a severe overflow of mana. With that considered, she said. "Come on, the roots have to be somewhere around here. I think I can see a couple of stone slabs over there, up ahead. Bobbert probably blew up that old, little chapel." Tim would be enthusiastic in a normal situation, but right now, he didn't even care about the mana roots, as he still felt devastated. What snapped him out of this sour state at least for a moment, was Ortana's knowledge of otherwise very human words! He felt really perplexed. For that matter, he followed her, and asked. "Are you sure that you used to be a plant? Because you're saying a bunch of awfully human words, it's getting kinda creepy. Why do you know what a chapel is?" "I used to be a lot of things," She answered, and then emphasized. "I even was a spider once, but that was kinda boring. My point is, I got to hear a lot of human phrases! Back then I just remembered their accents and words without understanding them, but now, I kinda know what a chapel is… or a credit card too? Words tend to get confusing, because some nations haven't even discovered spears yet." "How would you know what a spear is?" He followed along. "I was a messenger bird too. One time, this city of humans wanted to eliminate a tribe of far dumber humans, and I mean, two pairs of eyebrows dumb. It was hilarious!" She said. Anyway, at that pace, they briefly chatted, and snooped around the sand too, until they found what they were looking for. In a wide hole that was also about five meters deep, they found the blue mana roots! The roots didn't seem as interesting to them, as they had seemed to Bob, and this was for a very good reason. Bob had reaped a lot of mana out of the roots, too much, even, so the roots were almost out of juice right now. Ortana confirmed that, as she added. "That fellow Bobbert left us with some mere crumbs! Look at those roots, they're dying!" Then, Tim followed along. "I doubt that we can save them, though, so how about we harvest what's left of it. I did most of the work back there, but we can do a 50/50 split on the mana, I don't mind." "Oh, don't get me wrong! The roots are dying, but there's still a lot of mana in it for us and our low-levels. I'd say Bobbert was so filled up with mana, that he almost escaped the god's punishment realm a moment ago! So, good job on killing a mage that was five-hundred times more capable than you." She said. "He had more mana than me, yes, but he was not more capable. What sort of dumbass doesn't spend two or three points on body armor or something?" He added. Ortana had a solid answer for that, as she had more experience, so she said. "Magic doesn't work like that in our realm of mana, Thomas. He'd have to steal the body armor ability from someone else in order to then use it on himself, and as far as I know, there wasn't anyone in the group he could steal that ability from. Let's just say that you killed a very premature madman, before he could've been a true threat to the world."

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
