Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang took a deep breath as his nerves and body relaxed.

"That was way too difficult," Shang said.

"But you won," Sword answered.

"Yes, I won," Shang said.

Shang glanced at his left arm and saw that it was slowly regenerating.

"A Focus truly is terrifying," Shang said.

"And even more, he was only an Initial Adept."

Silence.

"I fought thousands of Early Adepts already, but this guy's skills and experience were far beyond every single one I've fought."

"If he had been an Early Adept…"

Shang imagined how the fight would go.

There was a high likelihood that Shang wouldn't even have hit his opponent once.

His opponent would have been far faster in casting Spells, and he would have already had two spells prepared by the time Shang would have reached him for the first time.

With the increased power and speed of the Spells, Shang could have very well died on the first barrage.

This wouldn't even be a fight.

It would just be a Mage swatting a fly away.

"We have to increase our power," Sword said.

Shang nodded.

Sure, Shang managed to overcome the gap between the Mages and the warriors this time, but the advantages of the Mages would only keep increasing as their level of power increased.

Right now, Shang could beat a very talented and powerful Adept on his level, but that didn't mean that it would remain so.

Shang had to work even harder and become even more powerful if he wanted to keep his current Battle-Strength.

This time, the wheel took longer to return.

'I guess I got some time to rest because of my arm,' Shang thought as he looked at his fully healed left arm.

Right now, Shang was at his normal peak. He didn't have an excessive amount of life energy stored, but his Mana was full.

Eventually, the wheel returned.

"Level four: Weak Early Adept."

'This should be manageable,' Shang thought as he looked at the spinning wheel.

Some seconds later, the wheel stopped.

Shang narrowed his eyes.
