Sword God in a World of Magic

The wheel slowed down and eventually stopped on Shang's next opponent.

It was the image of a smug, silver, cyborg-tiger. Its outer casing was shining brightly.

A moment later, Shang's opponent appeared in the distance.

It was a silver tiger, nearly two meters high.

That was about it.

There was nothing fancy or special about its appearance.

However, this didn't mean that it was weak. After all, the trial had obviously judged this tiger to be quite powerful.

'Tigers have devastating offensive powers, and they are quite fast. Usually, their defense would be their weak point. However…'

The jester slowly lifted his hammer and hit the bell.

At that moment, the tiger noticed Shang.

The tiger looked at Shang for three seconds.

Shang wasn't sure what the tiger was thinking, but he could swear he could feel some disdain building inside the tiger.

Then, the tiger's lips parted as it showed its teeth.

BANG!

And it exploded forward.

'This doesn't make much sense,' Shang thought as he saw the approaching tiger. 'If it had perceived me as a threat, it would have immediately shown a reaction.'

'But it also doesn't make any sense that it looks at me like I'm beneath it. After all, if I were beneath it, it would have ignored me or simply intimidated me into leaving.'

'Instead, it waited for several seconds before attacking me.'

BANG!

As the tiger took another step, its body began to shine.

In only a single second, its entire body became coated with metal.

Even more, its speed hadn't decreased, even though this much metal had to weigh several tons.

'Sure enough, a normal tiger wouldn't be powerful enough to count as one of the more powerful beasts,' Shang thought as he readied himself.

BANG!
