Sword God in a World of Magic

Chapter 26

Alex looked at the hedgehog, unsure if he was judging its intentions correctly.

Alex pointed towards the spire with his sword and looked at the hedgehog.

The hedgehog didn't react.

It continued looking at Alex with expectation.

'Fuck! Does it want me to get this ethereal spire for it?!' Alex thought.

'Is it forcing me to retrieve it?!'

Alex started sliding towards a different direction of where the hedgehog was.

CREEEAK!

The hedgehog followed Alex's new trajectory, and it quickly arrived at the spot where Alex was sliding towards.

'Fuck! It won't let me go! It will probably kill me if I exit the lake!'

Alex was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

He either had to go against the hedgehog or the thing in the lake.

Both of these creatures were far beyond his capabilities to deal with!

Alex felt stifled and frustrated beyond belief.

Others were deciding his fate!

He hated that!

Alex looked with hate at the hedgehog, but its demeanor didn't change.

It still looked at Alex expectantly.

After a while, Alex clenched his fist.

'If I have to choose, I'll choose to help the hedgehog,' Alex thought. 'The hedgehog has at least rewarded me when I gave it something. Instead, that thing in the lake will probably just ignore or consume me.'

'Sadly, I'm not powerful enough to make demands. I'm completely at the mercy of the hedgehog's whims.'

In the end, Alex shooed the lizard away.

He didn't want it to get hurt.

Alex turned to the ethereal spire, and the lizard understood what Alex meant.

Without hesitation, the lizard shot towards the shore of the lake, vanishing into the forest.

The hedgehog didn't even look at it.

'Sure enough, the lizard only cares about me as long as I'm of use to it. It will abandon me at the first sign of weakness. It might even kill me when I'm showing weakness,' Alex thought.

However, he had already expected something like that.

The lizard wasn't Alex's pet.

It was a wild animal and a reptile on top of that. Reptiles weren't known for their affection towards other animals.

Eventually, Alex moved around the ethereal spire and stopped behind it.

Right now, the spire was in front of Alex, and behind the spire, on the edge of the lake, was the hedgehog.

Alex would speed towards the spire, absorb it, and continue rushing towards the hedgehog.

This was the best method he could come up with.

Alex took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself.

SHING!

Then, Alex put his sword into the ice and shot himself forward.

Alex accelerated as much as he could.

And then, Alex's frozen arm hit the ethereal spire!
