Shang slowly opened his remaining eye, and control came back to his mind.

'Sure enough, I survived,' he thought.

Shang noticed that there was something heavy lying on top of his chest.

It was Sword.

"You survived," Sword said.

"I did," Shang answered. "Thanks to you."

Sword remained silent for a second.

"No problem," it said.

Shang only smiled when he saw Sword.

'While facing death, I was thinking about who would miss me when I died. I was under the impression that no one would miss me,' Shang thought.

'But I was mistaken. There's at least one being that would miss me.'

"How long was I out?" Shang asked.

"I think five minutes," Sword answered.

Shang nodded and slowly stood up. His passive regeneration had already fully healed him.

At that moment, Shang felt a cold wind near his left eye, and he touched it with his hand.

There was only a hole.

'Right, I lost my eye,' Shang thought with a frown. He was happy to be alive, but the loss of his eye weighed heavily on him.

"There's no way of getting that eye back, right?" Shang asked.

"I don't know," Sword answered, "but I think chances are slim. When I use my ability, I can regain the parts I've lost by assimilating more ore, but your body is different."

"I think regrowing your eye would be just as hard as growing a fully functional third arm."
