Sword God in a World of Magic

What had the hedgehog spat out?

Something brown hit the ground. It almost looked like a regular piece of earth.

However, the brown piece of earth quickly dissolved into mist, which gathered in the air above it.

In the end, some brown mist had formed in the shape of a spear, and several clumps of earth materialized in the air and fell to the ground.

Alex almost couldn't believe it.

It was another ethereal spire!

However, it also seemed logical to Alex.

If the octopus could create an ethereal spire, why couldn't the hedgehog?

From what he had seen, the octopus' ethereal spire had something to do with the Ice Element, and the hedgehog's ethereal spire was obviously of the Earth Element.

Could Alex have two ethereal spires in his body?

Alex walked over to the ethereal spire, which was slowly being burrowed by the earth forming around it.

'I should first try my right arm,' Alex thought. 'I don't know if the two spires will cancel each other out or something.'

'I just hope I won't explode or something.'

Alex put his sword to the side and touched the brown ethereal spire with his right hand.

The spire wrapped itself around Alex's right arm and vanished into Alex's body.

Alex felt how the ethereal spire moved throughout his body.

First, it traveled through his right arm to his head.

However, just like with the previous one, this ethereal spire seemingly couldn't reach Alex's mind. It was like something was blocking its way.

After that, the ethereal spire went to Alex's left arm, and Alex became nervous.

How would the spires interact?

Alex felt how the brown ethereal spire entered his left arm and then…

Nothing happened.

After a bit, it exited Alex's left arm and went to his legs.

Then, it inspected Alex's torso.

Lastly, the ethereal spire went back to Alex's head.
