Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang continued hunting for another two days.

Sadly, no matter how many risky situations he brought himself into, the Cleaner just wouldn't bite.

Shang even accepted a mission to hunt a pair of Peak General Stage beasts, and he fought both of them at the same time.

This fight had actually taken a couple of seconds. All the others had ended in, at most, two seconds.

Yet, even then, the Cleaner hadn't shown themselves.

'What is their plan?' Shang thought with furrowed brows. 'With these two beasts, it would be three on one. You are a Peak Adept! Are you too afraid to attack some warrior a level below you with a numerical advantage?'

By now, Shang was getting really annoyed.

What, did he need to attack a Commander Stage beast for them to show up?!

Shang wasn't completely against attacking an Initial Commander Stage beast, but he certainly didn't want to do that while someone was out for his life. Such a fight would need all of Shang's reserves.

'Would I attack me if I were the Cleaner?' Shang thought.

Then, he thought about what he had done over the past couple of days.

'I might have shown too much of my power,' Shang realized. 'Sure, if I were them, I would have already attacked. After all, this seems like an interesting fight.'

'However, not everyone is like me. In comparison to me, the Cleaner doesn't need to fight. If they believe the mission to be too dangerous, they could simply retreat and give up.'

Shang looked at his surroundings with furrowed brows.

'It's very possible that they have already retreated.'

'I screwed up. If they decide to abort the mission, the Wilburys won't lose any money.'

Right now, Shang wasn't sure how he should feel.

He had felt frustrated and suppressed every day he had remained in Warrior's Paradise. He wanted to go outside and fight. Yet, the constant presence of the Cleaner had forced him to stay inside.

Now, Shang was finally taking the plunge, but the very power that had suppressed him for so long had vanished.
