The sword, lying on the ground, started to change. The blade started to have scales and a serpentine shape, as if it were turning into a snake. It soon looked like a silver snake.
At the tip of the blade, a snake's head appeared, with two green eyes and a forked tongue flicking out. The snake's head opened its mouth, revealing two sharp fangs.
And then the snake lunged towards the unarmed Adam and chomped off two of his fingers from his left hand.
Adam, not showing a single pain in his face, even though it must've hurt, continued kneeling silently on the ground while the blood dripped down his hand onto the rough ground below.
While the game didn't perfectly replicate the game's pain factor, it was still tenth of the real world pain that he experienced. It was far from a painless experience.
As the snake, transformed from the blade, slithered down the ground, it suddenly stopped and began to turn back into the steel shortsword.
