Sword God in a World of Magic

The young man opened his eyes, and when he saw his opponent, he lifted an eyebrow with a confused smile.

Then, he looked around and didn't see anyone else.

He looked back at the nearly-dead Shang lying on the ground.

After some seconds, the young man put the butt of his spear to his head and scratched it in a mix of helplessness and confusion.

And then, he simply walked over to Shang.

Shang continued to breathe heavily. His entire body was beyond exhausted, and his passive regeneration wasn't nearly powerful enough to heal it in a short amount of time.

Shang could only barely manage to stay alive. Sure, if given enough time, he could recover, but he wouldn't get that time.

Shang only heard the sounds of light footsteps slowly coming closer.

He didn't even look at this executioner.

After some seconds, a face with long green hair entered Shang's vision.

"Man, that last opponent sure did a number on you," the green-haired man said with a smile.

For a second, Shang was surprised that his opponent could speak, but he quickly remembered that his opponent was a human. It wasn't actually strange for him to speak.

"I lost the last fight," Shang said with difficulty.

The man scratched his head in confusion. "But you won, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't be here."

Shang tried to chuckle helplessly, but he had to cough violently.

"I cheated."

"Cheated?" the man asked. "In what way?"

"I used a power I wouldn't normally use," Shang said. "My power permanently cripples me, but since I will die in this trial, I will resurrect without any lasting damage."

"If the drawback of my power were real in here, I wouldn't have used it."

"Therefore, I cheated."

The man hummed a bit.

Silence.

"Eh, it's too much to think about," he said with a chuckle. "It's definitely a grey area, but I can't be bothered to find out if it is blacker or whiter."

"Anyway, I should do my job," the man said as he readied his spear.

"Can I ask you a question?" Shang asked.

The man smiled.

"No."

BANG!

The man's spear penetrated Shang's brain, killing him instantly.

Then, the man vanished with a smile.
