I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 130: The brown death (2)

"You're the king huh?" Timothy asked and the thought of it managed to bring back the memories down in the tunnel 6 kilometres away.

To put an idea to the test, he shouted. "Would your title be taken if someone beats you in battle?"

Seeing this as an opportunity to bloat and at the same time offend the little boy, the big tough lobster king shouted. "Why on earth would you want to know something like that? Weakling!"

Seeing that this type of conversation would stretch uncomfortably long, equal to this lobster's ego, it became evident that more drastic measures had to be taken for the sake of luring this bastard into battle.

Even though these were measures that he hated to use. "Sounds like you're already scared. Your bullfrog of a daughter was braver than you."

"You dare mock my deceased daughter?" The king shouted and it became a bit noticeable that his brown skin became a bit red in anger.

While on the other end of the stick, the little hero thought out. "How did saving the reef put me in a situation like this? It should have been more simple, why is doing the right thing so confusing and difficult?"

It was fair to say that he can depend on the overall personal arsenal he had cultivated into, throughout these short 2 weeks. But in any case he wouldn't want to fight an overgrown enemy even if it was for 1,000 points and not to mention any lesser case such as 'doing the right thing'.

But the situation had snow balled to this point so the only option remained to respect it by just following it. While he didn't bother to carry on the conversation, the lobster king had already crawled close enough to state that he was ready for battle.

The brown patches of lobsters began moving towards and then behind him, for the sake of making clear for who they stood for. Which in exchange allowed the white-legged shrimp to move closer and show which side they stand for, that of Timothy's of course.

So it ended up with a 50 foot circle being formed around the two combatants. The bottom side of the pile had coated the sand with white and the top side with brown. If one swam above the crowd, it would be easy for them to spot a perfectly straight horizontal line in the middle which defined the borders of which species was which.

Standing a tad paranoid, the little sea pancake wanted to assure. "So it's settled? If I kill you today, these lobsters of yours will fall under my command? I will be their king!"

It felt weird to speak like a medieval king that acted like a stick was stuck up his ass, but in this case it seemed necessary. Neither sides respected him and likely wanted him dead, so it would become much worse if he lacked confidence throughout the deal and behaved like a submissive peasant. It would be bad be it for the face of the entire community and for the overall deal.

Unwilling to speak and ready to start the battle right away, the lobster king shouted. "It's a deal. Now shut it and fight!"

Then without warning, the big brownie charged forward and began clapping those jaws even - all by the aims of ripping the little stingray in half for the pure intent of gaining vengeance for the deceased daughter!

As for Tim, his motive to fly out of the way was never stronger than it was at this moment. So with a slap against the water, he lunged upwards like a launching rocket and had quite a lot of time to escape the bite-radius.

So the lobster king just continued charging forward and bashed against the white shrimp that were behind the little stingray. This will likely be great for face, this lobster had likely squashed a few smaller shrimp to death and a lot will be happier when this abomination dies on the hero's fins.

The enemy turned around and began charging forward once more, this is when the little hero began taking a sharp turn to the right just for the sake of landing a good blow.

This lobster however, wasn't as dumb as that abomination he called a daughter, so this 1 meter monster began crawling his way to the right for the sake of forbidding any blind shots.

It would be impossible to land a shot like this, so after getting too close, the blue dotted maniac took a sharp left turn towards the opposite direction and managed to get out of the enemy's sight.

Instinctively, the enemy began crawling to the left now for the sake of avoiding blind shots. But...

It wasn't fast enough. He felt a sharp pain across the middle back and it was followed along with a burning sensation that added an additional pain ~ that portion was hard for the enemy to understand.

While the system just notified the hero, [venom 0/5]

This shot was nice but nearly not enough to slaughter a lobster who stretched a monstrous meter long! So the enemy just turned around and charged forward a bit angrier, his speed was fairly thunderous for someone who had to crawl rather than swim.

Seeing that charging forward like a bull wasn't working out, thankfully this time he realized it before accidentally charging to a crowd of smaller animals - he located the yellow coloured stingray and decided to use another method of battle.

The lobster king leaped upwards and opened his mouth wider than ever for the sake of increasing the chances of landing a bite.

Expecting something heavily dangerous like this, Tim began swimming higher instead of lower ~ all thanks to the close-shot experiences he had when taking the opposite measures.

The enemy ended up sinking down after completely missing the shot. But to the hero this type of leaping has become a problem that could land a tremendous bite.

So he charged downwards to follow the big lobster and once he managed to catch up, the level 3 jaws went into work once they clung on one of the enemy's legs.
