Sword God in a World of Magic

The fact that the Magic Circle had been triggered meant that Shang had just taken a hit that would have killed him.

Shang quickly realized what his opponent had done, jumped back, and left the poisonous cloud.

And when Shang looked up, he saw his opponent coming toward him.

The Magic Circle had appeared above Shang's head, which meant that an attack had come from above him. His opponent hadn't had much time to evade, and the normal decision would have been to back away or jump to the side inside the poisonous cloud.

However, Shang's opponent had jumped up, immediately leaving the poisonous cloud just when Shang had entered it. Then, she had shot one of the unprepared metal rods into Shang's head. Firing a rod wasn't nearly as accurate as firing an arrow, but from such a short distance, she wouldn't miss.

Without the uniform, the rod would have pierced Shang's brain.

And the thing Shang had hit with his sword?

That was the front half of her left foot.

He had just barely managed to sever that part while she had passed over him.

And, right now, she was about to land on him.

That sounded great for Shang, but there was one issue.

A new arrow was already pointing at his head.

For a second, time seemingly stopped.

Shang couldn't evade this arrow. There was only a meter between them.

The arrow would hit his head.

At that moment, a fire appeared in Shang's eyes.

And he jumped towards her.

Her arrow left the bow.

BANG!

The arrow punched through Shang's gritted teeth, destroying them in the process.

Then, it hit Shang's neck through the back of his mouth.

CRK!

Shang's neck cracked…

But it held!

In this moment of crisis, Shang had decided to jump into the arrow so that it wouldn't hit his brain.

First, he would use his teeth to weaken the arrow a bit.

And then, he would trust in the power of the beast bones inside his body!

The bodies of beasts were way more powerful than the bodies of humans, and Shang was banking on the effect of the procedure!

His entire body was only a bit more than half as powerful as the body of a beast, but the bones of his spine had been replaced with beast bones!
