I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 355: The concept of death, and its plausabilities.

The main concept behind the soul-attack which the hero had unleashed was easy to understand.

He was supposed to drain this diamonds power, with the aid of the soul-reaping attribute. This concept was easy in theory but in this case, its use had a few instabilities.

Prior to a few days ago, the heros soul was weak, so he didnt have a full understanding of how this branch of power worked.

But at the moment he felt advanced enough to tell apart a grand problem, an issue that only grew in value.

He wasnt the one who drained energy from the diamond, in fact this situation went the other way around.

The diamond consumed the heros soul right now, and such a pace was beyond frightening!

Whats going on? He shouted.

Through those same seconds he tried to think of a way which would counter attack this odd situation. But he was fresh out of ideas.

The amount of soul attacks he had were painfully limited, and they couldnt be used in this situation whatsoever.

By the time when the hero had grasped such a realisation, this darned shiny crystal had already consumed half of his soul!

So thanks to such luminous reasons, Timmy felt sure that this was the end of the road for him, death wiggled around the corner.

As this opposing object gained power, the heros illusions grew stronger by volume.

The sea-pancake could see several versions of himself. It felt as if a bunch of clones had circled around him.

The oddest part was that each one of these clones carried a different skin colour. These details were too specific, as these shades were past versions of his own skin.

He didnt have the slightest clue regarding how some old shiny stone was able to do that, but this scene was the least of his worries.

It felt like there was just a drop of his soul left, and a fish without a soul was just a carcass, so the fate that awaited him seemed beyond scary.

Just then, he saw an arrow-shaped bit of light which flew above his head. It pierced through the waters at grand speed, and headed directly towards the diamond.

Timothy couldnt comprehend its entire form, as it simply moved through the waters too swiftly.

But neither did he care regarding what went on, as he truly awaited death to strike. Sure this type of slaughter seemed anti-climactic, but death was death regardless of its shapes and forms.

A moment after he felt something explode. Some strong waves smashed against his body, and tossed him all over the place!

Didnt know that death can explode like that He uttered.

But then he realised, Ghosts can talk? Uh thats kinda weird.

It took the hero a few more moments to realise what went on, but he eventually attained a grasp of the situation.

All of the illusions were gone by now, and the big diamond just stood idly by on its spot.

His vision here was far too clear, so it was difficult to believe that he had died.

But at the same time he felt an incredible sense of power that strode across his veins, and inner body.

The boys mind also cleared up more than ever, to the point where he absolutely enjoyed this situation.

He even expressed, If ghosts live uh, unlive like this then this aint bad at all.

[Youre not a ghost. An incredible amount of soul-energy has entered your body and densified your soul]

Really? He answered after he heard the system out.

[Yes. Regardless of how this was possible, the diamond has unleashed a stream of energy towards you]

[And since the soul-reaping attack was active in that process, your soul has been permanently densified thanks to this collision]

Really? Thats amazing! I can break my enemies in half now! The younger ones celebrated.

Surely it sounded odd how his first thought was battle-oriented, but this environment has proven once more that he should focus towards survival.

And a densified soul of this liking would definitely aid survival.

A familiar tone chirped in the corner of this area afterwards, and the hero could only guess that this was Dana.

It was her and she uttered, Youre welcome for all of that power.

What happened, Timmy questioned.

By now he was sure that he was alive, but this didnt mean that anything of the prior disaster made any sense.

This diamond had a lot of power in it, it still does. The lady briefly described.

And then continued, But there was an illusion barrier that tricked us, and it was fueled by this same diamond too.

At the end she sealed this explanation off as she added, I figured out that this illusion barrier was at its weakest, when it was fully active. The soul draining power you attacked it with, forced those illusions to work over time.

And that way you could attack its weak spot, The hero followed along.

He had barely shaken away all of that discomfort from earlier, but at the moment he was present enough to figure things out.

The lady by his side confirmed such an aspect as she agreed, Correct, we practically broke that powerful illusion.

A moment later she softly said, Sorry that this thing almost killed you though, I did not expect that reaction.

Its okay, The hero excused.

And since these couple of friends more than liked each other, he found it reasonable to make her feel better.

Which was why he embraced, You did a great job, that arrowy light you shot was amazing!

I can shoot those things out of my mouth now, She revealed.

Such information came out as a shock, but Tim remembered that this fine lady had consumed a few green-crystals earlier, so such changes were only reasonable.

That was why he once more celebrated, Thats so cool! We should get you more of those space gems stuff.

Dana was almost shy thanks to those outbursts, but she was also appreciative; her friend genuinely seemed happy about the upgrade that she had went through.

So for once she swam close to this good friend and rubbed her head right against his.

Through a mumble this fine lady uttered, Thank you for being you.
