Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang stood on the ground in the middle of the northeastern forest, his eyes showing a look of concentration.

Silence.

BANG!

Shang unleashed a Fire Blast as he turned around, his sword ready.

Shang's legs parted the grass on the ground, but they weren't touching the earth.

SHING!

A black gleam created a half-moon as Shang swung his sword at seemingly an empty place.

An instant later, the corpse of a nearly translucent snake fell to the ground in two pieces.

'And that's five,' Shang thought with a smirk. 'I knew that traveling along the southern part of the northeastern forest would be profitable.'

Yes, Shang was in the southern part of the northeastern forest, which was a risky zone. Beasts from the Wasteland would come here from time to time to have their young.

Fortunately, Shang knew a couple of the beasts from the Wasteland now. After all, teacher Niria had talked about General Stage beasts one could find in the northeastern forest in her last lesson. She hadn't been able to get through all of them, but she had talked about a lot.

Because of that, Shang felt confident in hunting in this risky part of the forest.

First of all, the beasts of the Wasteland were mostly very direct predators. There were only a few beasts that hunted via ambushes in the Wasteland.

The Wasteland simply didn't have many ways to hide, which meant that there were only very few ambush predators in general there.

On top of that, those beasts only came here to have their young. They generally weren't very interested in Soldier Stage beings since they gave nearly no Mana.

Sure, if they saw something like that directly in front of them, they might as well kill it, but if that thing was very good at running away, they wouldn't bother. At most, they would release one or two casual attacks, and if the target managed to survive them and run away, they would simply stop.

But surviving two casual attacks from a General Stage beast was still very difficult.

That's where Shang's left arm came into play.

By now, Shang had become very good at using his left arm to move around.

And it had already proven to be a lifesaver.
