Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang was currently on top of a tree as he looked at the bottom of another tree with concentration.

He was waiting.

From time to time, Shang could hear flesh being separated from below the tree.

Some minutes passed.

Eventually, a green rod poked out of the bottom of the tree slowly.

It extended more and more until a bird head could be seen. The beast looked around carefully before slowly walking out from the hole beneath the tree.

It slowly slithered around the tree like a lizard as it began to climb it. Shang could see the green feathers coming out of the beast's legs.

Then, the beast paused.

Shang's eyes widened as he jumped forward.

BANG!

A Fire Blast later, Shang arrived in front of the beast, his sword leaving a black gleam behind.

SHING!

Shang's sword cut off the Javelin's beak at the base and the tree along with it.

The Javelin let out a pained screech, which sounded like a panicked bird screaming.

BANG!

Shang released an Ice Blast to shoot back to the Javelin.

PACK!

Shang grabbed the Javelin by the neck as it continued screeching in panic. Its clawed feet were trying to injure Shang, but they couldn't reach him.

Shang took out the stamp and hit the Javelin's head with it.

BANG!

Shang kicked the Javelin away with all of his power.
