Sword God in a World of Magic

The soldiers didn't feel any more arrows hitting their shields. For a while, they didn't dare to look over the barricade. After all, what if their opponents were simply baiting them into looking past their shields to kill them?

The soldiers had heard several loud sounds, and they heard the screams of dying people.

After around twenty seconds, the first soldier looked past the barricade.

Nothing.

There were no arrows.

However, they also didn't see any corpses.

"Zero?" the leader shouted.

"I'm here," Shang answered. "It's fine. They're dead."

The soldiers looked at each other in shock.

Dead?

There had to have been over five guys, at least!

Was Zero suggesting that he had killed all of these people on his own?

Just a moment before the shout, Shang had been looking at the two corpses in front of him with a frown.

Something inside of him stirred.

A dislike.

Disgust.

It was a familiar feeling to Shang. He had felt this feeling whenever he had killed someone in the past.

But in comparison to the previous times, the feeling was much weaker today.

In the past, this feeling had enveloped all of Shang's being, encompassing his entire mind.

But now, it could only be described as an aftertaste.

'I did what I had to do,' Shang thought as he looked at the corpse. 'I don't like doing it, but it was necessary.'

That was when the leader's shout had arrived.

Shang had been pulled out of his thoughts and answered as he carried the corpses to the middle of the slope.

'Killing has gotten easier,' Shang thought.

'That's good.'
