Sword God in a World of Magic

The man looked at Shang with interest and readied his weapons.

The man wore shoes and gloves made of red metal, and Shang could feel their power.

Shang had gained a lot of experience, and he knew that these weapons were made of Late General Stage materials. Apparently, even average Middle General Stage warriors had access to these materials.

And that wasn't even everything.

'He's wearing a uniform similar to mine, which probably means that he also has a one-time protection of a killing blow.'

Shang readied his sword.

BANG!

The man exploded forward, leaving a trail of fire behind him.

Shang exploded forward with an explosion of ice.

Both of them were charging at each other, but Shang's opponent was quite a bit faster.

As soon as they met, Shang's opponent punched forward with a fiery fist.

Shang pointed his left arm at the enemy's fist.

BOOOM!

An explosion of ice came out of Shang's left hand, coating the enemy's glove, but the enemy also hit Shang's left arm.

The front of Shang's left arm was burned to a crisp, only leaving a charred stump that ended at the elbow.

However, Shang's right arm swung at his opponent's fist with his sword.

The man was faster than Shang and could react very well to the sword slash. He easily blocked it with his extended hand.

CRACK!

The man's eyes widened, and he jumped back as he looked at his right hand.

His glove was damaged, and a deep cut went through his wrist!

His wrist was actually broken!

Fire and ice didn't necessarily need to cancel each other out. With a bit of control, the ice could somewhat evade the fire and penetrate it. Of course, the ice would be weakened by quite a bit in that process, but it was still useful in some cases.

Shang knew how these weapons worked by fighting Mattheo several times.

The gloves didn't actually heat up. After all, if they heated up, the user's hand would be seared.

Instead, the gloves were coated with a layer of Fire Mana, and they only needed to not heat up too much after an explosion.

After a warrior with the Fire Affinity punched with their gloves, the explosion would heat them up by quite a bit, but it wasn't so much that the hand beneath them would be damaged.

By infusing the gloves with Ice Mana, Shang could achieve the same effect as when his own body got damaged by his Affinity.
