Sword God in a World of Magic

For a moment, Shang only looked at the corpse of the General Stage Vanishing Snake.

The fight had been very risky. If Shang had even been scratched by its teeth, he would have died. Its metal poison was just too powerful.

During the fight, it had seemed that Shang was in control most of the time, but that control had been flimsy. One small slipup and it would have been the end.

However, as Shang looked at the corpse, a deep feeling of excitement and satisfaction appeared inside his chest.

He had killed his first General Stage beast.

Sure, the beast was bad in a direct confrontation, it had been injured previously, Shang had help, and it had been distracted for a big part of the fight, but Shang had still won.

Shang looked at his sword. 'I really need to focus on my sword. This boost will only work for a short time, and I need to strengthen it permanently. In the beginning, I haven't even truly been able to injure it.'

'Right now, my weapon is my biggest weakness. Fights where my weapon isn't in danger, aren't dangerous, and in dangerous fights, my weapon is always in danger.'

Suddenly, Shang's eyes shot to the head of the snake.

The green eagle had landed on the snake's head, looking at Shang.

Shang had seen how the green eagle had eaten all the previous Vanishing Snakes' heads, and he knew that the bird wanted to consume this one too.

The bird was at the Late Soldier Stage, one level below Shang, but its help had been imperative in Shang's fight with the snake.

If Shang and the bird had a falling out, who would win?

Shang wasn't sure.

However, he was sure of one thing.

The fight wouldn't end quickly, and Shang would probably be chased by the bird for a long time.

Shang knew that the bird was far faster than him. Not even the snake had been able to chase the bird.

If Shang missed his opportunity, the green eagle would fly away and wait in the air until Shang became distracted.
