Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang felt relieved when he saw his first opponent walk through the door since he had no idea how he was supposed to carry on the conversation after hearing about Viera's goal in life.

A man in seemingly his early thirties walked through the door. He wore bronze armor, showing that he was one of the basic guards of Warrior's Paradise.

Of course, even if the man seemed to be in his early thirties, he could very well be in his forties or even fifties. After all, General Stage warriors aged slower.

The man had brown hair, and he quickly noticed Shang.

Then, he noticed Viera, and a gleam of recognition appeared in them for an instant.

For that moment, Shang could feel that the man was a bit afraid of Viera.

It seemed like the guards knew Viera.

Shang slowly stood up. "We can continue this conversation later," he said as he looked back at Viera.

At that moment, Shang paused for a bit.

Viera's aura had made a 180 when the guard walked through the door.

She had a cold and apathetic expression on her face as she also slowly stood up from her chair.

She walked to the side of the room and waited for both warriors to take up their positions.

"You are both at the Early General Stage," she said.

Shang's brows furrowed under his mask. He was pretty sure that he was at the Initial General Stage.

'But it makes sense that she would say that I'm at the Early General Stage. After all, after the procedure, my body is basically on the level of an Early General Stage warrior.'

"This student hasn't fought in a while, and he needs to become familiar with fighting again," Viera neutrally explained. "Your job is to win. I wish for you to attack him with the intention to kill."

The guard scratched the back of his head. "Alright," he said. "As long as I'm getting paid."

"You will," Viera said.

Shang slowly took out his sword as he readied himself.

BANG!

The guard immediately charged forward as he took out his own weapon, a spear.
