Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang charged toward the officer with quite a lot of speed as everyone looked at him in shock.

Was Zero suicidal?!

Why was he attacking a Late General Stage warrior?!

Sure, he was being accused of being a traitor, but at least he still had a chance of survival if he complied.

But by directly attacking the officer, he was throwing his last chance of survival out of the window!

The officer readied his spear, and he looked into Shang's eyes.

He knew that Shang wasn't weak, and he knew that he shouldn't be too relaxed in the fight.

That guy's sword had bisected a Mid General Stage beast. Sure, he had had some help, but that destructive power was no joke.

Of course, the officer also knew that Zero had traded off his agility, speed, and flexibility in exchange for this overwhelming offense.

In the officer's mind, Zero was simply too slow.

In comparison to Zero, the officer specialized in these three things.

Without saying anything, the officer charged at Zero.

On top of the hill, One looked at Zero, his expression unreadable behind his mask.

The other soldiers only looked at the fight.

Why should they get involved?

Their officer was stronger than all of them combined. He didn't need any help.

On top of that, some of the soldiers harbored suspicions.

Why would Zero suddenly attack One and Two?

This didn't make any sense.

But they kept themselves out of the conflict. Right now, many soldiers weren't sure which side they should believe, especially after Shang had said that the officer had already dealt with Shang's four colleagues.

Where were these four?

Why weren't they here?

BANG!

Suddenly, green wind appeared behind the officer, and he accelerated a lot.

In just an instant, he reached Shang, thrusting his spear forward.

When Shang saw the attack, his eyes lit up.

'He's underestimating me,' he thought at that moment. 'Seems like this fight won't be a problem.'

The officer had thrown all his power and speed into this one thrust without holding anything back.

This made the attack harder to evade or defend against, but it also didn't give him any opportunity to do a follow-up.
