Sword God in a World of Magic

BANG!

Shang immediately used his left arm to shoot himself to his right.

Just an instant later, a bullet of purple sludge hit the place where Shang had just been. There had been enough sludge to cover Shang's entire body.

SSSSSSSSS!

A violent and high-pitched sizzling noise came from the sludge as it burned a hole into the ground.

Shang gritted his teeth. 'This is troublesome. The Spells of Poison Mages aren't very fast, but they are extremely effective against humans.'

Why were they so effective?

Well, what could the protective Magic Circle on Shang's uniform do against that?

Nothing.

Whenever Shang had fought Mages, he had always had his uniform to rely on, and he had definitely used the Magic Circles to his advantage in the past.

This wouldn't work against the Poison Adept.

This Spell was called Sludge Bolt, and if Shang got hit by it, he would definitely die.

The Poison Adept raised an eyebrow when he saw that Shang had evaded.

He hadn't expected that at all.

His target, Shang, was supposed to be a newly advanced Initial General Stage warrior. His speed shouldn't have been fast enough to evade the Sludge Bolt.

Sure, the Poison Adept had noticed that Shang had somehow reached the Early General Stage already, but that still shouldn't have been enough to evade the Sludge Bolt.

The Poison Adept was a Mid Adept. He was an entire level above this warrior.

Yet, this warrior managed to evade a Spell that came from a Mage an entire level above him?

This was very unusual. Many people would even say that this was impossible.

However, the Poison Adept didn't panic.

So what if his target evaded a Sludge Bolt? He would just need to use different Spells.

BANG!

Shang charged toward the Adept with all his speed as he readied his sword.

The Poison Adept began to chant a different Spell.

Shang reached the enemy very quickly since there hadn't been much distance between them. After all, they weren't fighting in the open but inside the Caves.

BANG!

Shang's heavy sword hit the Poison Adept's Mana Shield and bounced off.

The Poison Adept's eyebrows rose in surprise.

That was a lot of Mana that had just been used up!

'Doesn't matter,' the Poison Adept thought.
