Sword God in a World of Magic

The wheel slowed down and eventually stopped on Shang's next opponent.

It was a Pest Cat, but it had several things that didn't fit the image of a normal Pest Cat.

First of all, it had long eyelashes, which showed that it was very feminine.

It also had a big belly, which reminded Shang of a pregnant woman.

Lastly, it wore a dainty crown.

Shang quickly realized what beast this picture symbolized.

He hadn't seen one yet, but these beasts were worth a ton of money.

It was Pest Queen.

Pest Queens were the main source of the Pest Cat problem.

When a Pest Cat reached the General Stage, it had a chance of evolving into a Pest Queen.

A Pest Queen would abandon its agility in exchange for ranged abilities and vastly increased fertility.

Pest Cats only had six children per pregnancy in general.

Pest Queens, on the other hand, could store sperm from male Pest Cats like ant queens, and they could endlessly birth Pest Cats as long as they had enough food.

Its children would catch all the food for it while having children of their own from time to time.

One Pest Queen could produce as many children as 30 Pest Cats!

'Luckily, they are not great in direct combat. Their danger comes from their fertility and their army of Pest Cats,' Shang thought.

'But that was to be expected. After all, I am supposed to fight a weak Early General Stage beast.'

After a short moment, the Pest Queen appeared in the distance.

It looked similar to a Pest Cat, but it had a gigantic belly, and dark shadows swirled around its body.

The jester lifted its hammer again and struck the bell.

The Pest Queen noticed Shang and screeched a warning while slowly walking backward.

Shang readied his sword and exploded forward.

When Shang was only 50 meters away, the shadows around the Pest Queen's body began to shoot at Shang like living missiles.
