Adam planted two arms shaped loosely out of the collected flesh into the ground on either side of him. Then he split his ball of blood into three, forming each fragment into a flat disc that he’d easily be able to turn into a blade or spin up to carve through the enemies.

The moment the first Wave started, three Slothling Imps emerged from the dense treeline a few metres away.

Adam immediately shot his three spells forward, deciding in the last second to turn all of them into sharp blades.

With a downwards chop of his control sigil, the blades swung down through the seams between the heads and bodies of the three imps simultaneously, decapitating all of them at once.

[Excellent! You cleared the Wave within 5 seconds.]

I didn’t even need to use the arms, he thought to himself as he quickly switched to Gram to force its weapon upgrades to appear from the rewards. It was kind of a waste to use boosted upgrades on chipping stone away from the sword, but he decided he would pick Health and Defence if they appeared.

The imps being easy to kill wasn’t that much of a surprise though, since they had never been dangerous because of their defence but rather because of their speed.

He merged the blood back together into a single ball while he brought the flesh-wrought arms over to the three corpses. The arms he’d made were simple, but had elbow joints and clawed rigid fingers locked into beak-like shapes. It seemed silly that making something closer to a functional limb with flesh magic was stronger than simply reworking the meat and skin into basic weapons, but from all his tests it was clear that the more accurate his flesh creations were, the more power they had.

If I could control bones too, then I’d be able to build my own creatures, he thought absentmindedly as he worked the disconnected arms through the imps’ bodies, butchering them up like captured prey.
