Sword God in a World of Magic

What did Shang see in the hole inside the dead tree?

More Swamp Millipedes, but smaller.

No wonder that thing had its head pointed into the dead tree. It was probably nursing its young.

The little Swamp Millipedes were only around half a meter long and quite thin. At the moment, Shang could see them squiggling around in a ball.

'Lucky!' Shang thought with a grin. 'Those are at least ten, which means I get another 500 Contribution Points.'

Did Shang feel bad about killing them?

No.

First of all, they were a menace to nature, and second of all, they were insects. It was just natural for a human to feel less empathy for insects.

Shang looked at his left arm, which had healed by now.

Then, Shang put his hand into the hole and pointed it at the ball.

Shang used his Ice Blast, and the ball froze over in an instant. Of course, Shang's arm nearly burned off, but he quickly saved it by using a Fire Blast in a random direction.

However, his arm was still bleeding heavily, and it would need some time to heal. Luckily, the bone wasn't injured, which meant that Shang wouldn't need to use as much Mana.

The inherent Mana inside his body should heal the arm pretty quickly.

A couple seconds later, Shang's arm was fully healed.

However, his Mana was dangerously low.

In his spars against the other students, Shang had been able to heal his broken foot a couple of times, but that had only been a small foot. This time, it was his entire arm. His Mana had to heal way more mass.

After healing his arm, Shang took out the frozen ball of Swamp Millipedes and put it inside his beast sack together with the feelers of the adult version.
