Chapter 10: Dark forest
It had taken him a long time to dig the mana stones out of the thomisides corpse, but his efforts were definitely rewarded.
The thomiside seemed to have especially big mana stones, they had a diameter of about an inch, they were of a dark violet colour and looked eerily similar to a humans kidney stone, had it not been for the size and colour.
They were filled to the brim with mana and Cades was looking forward to working with it.
Other than that Cades took some pieces of the carapace to try and make an enchanted weapon that would allow him to have a greater reach than his measly, pathetic little dagger.
The sharp dagger was truly useful for artificing, it's intended purpose, but it was not practical in a fight, similarly to his magic scalpel or a sewing needle.
All of these tools could definitely be used to kill someone but there were clearly many better weapons than them.
Personally, Cades would like to have a sword to fight against his opponents, like the thomiside from just now, otherwise he might not even be able to penetrate far enough to reach their blood vessels.
But Cades couldn't make the sword he so longed for right now, because, although thomisides were very territorial he was not save.
Thomisides ate other monsters after all.
