Sword God in a World of Magic

"The attack has the power of a Spell from a Peak Adept," the Dean said.

Shang nodded. That was about what he had expected. Sacrificing a bit of General Stage ore to unleash an attack at the Commander Stage would have been too good to be true.

Yes, it definitely wasn't even nearly as strong as when Shang used Entropy himself, but the cost was far more manageable.

Using Entropy himself would cripple Shang permanently, while this attack only cost a bit of ore.

On top of that, a Peak Adept could release terrifying power, enough to severely injure a Peak General Stage beast.

All of this sounded great, but there was one issue.

"The attack doesn't become faster," Shang said as he scratched his chin.

The Dean nodded. "You need to hit your opponent with it. "

The speed was a big issue. Theoretically, Shang could seriously injure a Peak General Stage beast, which was three levels above him, but in practice, Shang wouldn't be able to injure a Peak General Stage beast at all.

Beasts had terrifying instincts, and they would feel the danger coming from Shang's attack.

With their incredible speed, they would easily be able to avoid the attack just by jumping back.

'However, the attack still gives me a chance to win against a Late General Stage beast,' Shang thought.

'If I had that ability during the trial, I could have killed that porcupine. It wasn't as fast and was focused on defense. I should have been able to hit it.'

At that moment, Shang remembered something else.

Hadn't he had that thought once before?

Wait, could he…?

At that moment, Shang furrowed his brows, and after a while, he smirked.

'It should work.'

'It seems like my power has increased yet again!'

At that moment, something appeared in the Dean's hands, and Shang looked at it.
