Sword God in a World of Magic

"The Old Ice Octopus? Do you mean that gigantic octopus in the lake?" Alex asked.

The man slightly narrowed his eyes as he heard Alex's words.

"Yes. What happened to it?" the man asked.

Acting like Alex hadn't seen anything would be too obvious of a lie. After all, the octopus had died, and the destruction it had caused had been massive and loud.

"It was killed by the huge hedgehog," Alex said.

The man raised an eyebrow. "Killed by the Earth Fruit Hedgehog? What happened?" he asked.

"I wasn't there for the entire fight, but I was near the lake. I heard a loud explosion and saw a gigantic octopus jump through the air!" Alex explained animatedly.

"However, something shocking happened after that! Tens of gigantic, long needles punched through the octopus, and I saw it land towards the north of the lake, in the middle of the forest. I saw the gigantic hedgehog charge over to that area, and after a couple more explosions, everything quieted down. I'm pretty sure that the hedgehog has killed the octopus," Alex explained.

The man stroked his beard in thought.

"What you say makes sense, but I need to verify it. Wait here for a bit."

Alex nodded.

Alex wouldn't want to take the risk and flee while the man was away. The man probably had many ways to find Alex again. Fleeing would only awaken suspicion.

The man spoke several words, and this time, it took him nearly ten full seconds to recite them.

Obviously, the spell he was casting was very complex.

Alex felt a storm of Mana coming to the man, and after he finished his spell, the man suddenly started to levitate!

An actual storm picked up around him, and Alex was nearly thrown into the distance.

However, the storm only surrounded the man and lifted him upwards.

The trees violently shook around him due to the storm, and eventually, the man shot into the distance, right above the forest.

Alex's eyes widened in shock.

'He can fly! A human can actually fly in this world!' Alex thought.

Alex had seen the powers the God had shown him, which were obviously superior to this man, but Alex would have never believed that the first human he would see could fly!
