Sword God in a World of Magic

Five days after arriving at the ice lake, it happened.

Shang was currently concentrating on training in his Affinity when he suddenly felt a disturbance in the surrounding Ice and Fire Mana.

Shang turned so that his back looked to the north.

CLINK!

Shang's sword moved, and an arrow struck it, which harmlessly bounced off.

"Got it!" Sword said as it repositioned itself to its original location.

'Mid General Stage!' Shang thought as he felt the force behind the arrow.

"Ambush from the north!" Shang shouted.

The other soldiers had already looked over when they heard the loud sound of metal clashing and saw the broken arrow landing on the ground.

"Shields out! Gather at the north!" the leader shouted as he charged towards the northern end of the lake.

At that moment, several more arrows rained down on everyone, but they were all blocked by the shields.

These warriors might have been the most useless ones when it came to fighting beasts, but when it came to fighting archers, they were amazing.

Shang also charged to the north with furrowed brows.

'The enemy can't tell our power from such a distance,' he thought. 'Because of that, it makes more sense to simply kill the northern guard since he's the closest to them.'

'Yet, they directly targeted me, even though I was the furthest from the north.'

'This means that they know I'm the strongest.'

Shang's eyes narrowed.

'I kept close attention to everyone around me without them noticing, and I'm pretty confident that it wasn't them.'

'This means that someone in the outpost gave them the information!'

After realizing that they couldn't get through the shields, most of the arrows targeted Shang, and in just a couple of seconds, Shang was besieged by approximately five archers.

Luckily, the archers were over a kilometer away, and Shang was outstanding when it came to dodging attacks.

None of the arrows managed to hit Shang as he easily danced past them.

The other four had already arrived at the north, and they had created a shield barricade.
