Sword God in a World of Magic

After a short beam of light, Shang's opponent appeared.

It was a young woman in her twenties. She had long purple hair, and she wore a set of thin, black armor. On her back was an elaborately designed longbow.

'The bow and her armor don't feel simple,' Shang thought. 'Her armor can probably protect her from a lethal strike, and her bow is probably augmented with Magic Circles. It's very possible that the speed of her attacks rivals the speed of an Early Adept's Spells.'

The jester lifted his hammer and struck the bell.

At that moment, the woman opened her eyes, and she looked at Shang with a cold expression.

A moment later, she took out her bow.

BANG!

Shang charged forward, destroying the ground beneath him as he ran with all his speed. Just like when he fought the Adepts, distance was all that mattered in this fight.

The woman pulled out a long piece of iron. It wasn't an arrow, surprisingly. It was just a long piece of iron.

She pulled the piece of iron back on her bow and pointed at Shang.

A moment later, something purple materialized on the end of the piece of metal, and it quickly assumed the shape of an arrowhead.

At the same time, some ridges appeared at the other end of the stick of metal.

'I see,' Shang thought as he realized why there were no prebuilt ridges on the metal rods.

If Shang hadn't had so much combat experience, he would have never even thought about this aspect.

Just when Shang took a step, she released her arrow.

Since Shang had just taken a step, it meant that he wasn't ready to immediately step to the side.

Her timing had been perfect.

Shang's foot awkwardly hit the ground and slightly changed his balance.

SHING!

The arrow barely missed Shang's torso.

The woman's eyes narrowed as she took out the next piece of metal.

She had not expected Shang to dodge her arrow like that. Her timing had been perfect.

Shang's equilibrium became a bit awkward due to the sudden step he had needed to take, but he quickly managed to fix it before his opponent could shoot another arrow.
