Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked for a while at the cracked emblem. 'Sure enough, it was Vice-Commander Wilbury. I've had a feeling that it was him when such a powerful warrior suddenly attacked me.'

'So, this is the power of a Vice-Commander over a big city like Swamp Lake City.'

At that moment, Shang remembered his first Day of Chaos.

Back then, Shang had followed an officer in golden armor, and Shang had felt like the officer was about as powerful as Vice-Dean Soran.

'That officer was probably on the level of Swamp Lake City's Commander,' he thought. 'And the person I just killed was one level lower.'

'Interesting. Originally, I thought that Late Commander Stage warriors were Vice-Commanders, but Wilbury was at the Mid Commander Stage.'

Shang's brows furrowed. 'However, he was also very powerful, and his techniques were varied and flexible. He didn't seem to be at a disadvantage in the air, but he definitely was. He needed to waste Mana to move, while I didn't need to. Even more, I can move several times in quick succession while he had to gather his Mana.'

'Additionally, he has a Darkness Affinity, which means that he has probably received special attention and training. I think the reason why he was a Vice-Commander is that he can fight a warrior at the Late Commander Stage.'

'His dead son was also only in his teens, and I don't think they had an older child. It might very well be that Vice-Commander Wilbury was only in his forties or fifties.'

'I think he had quite a bright future ahead of him. With his power, he would have definitely reached the Peak Commander Stage, and there might have even been a chance that he could have reached the True Path Stage.'

'My physical power is equal to someone at the Early Commander Stage, and usually, it isn't very difficult for me to kill an average warrior one level above me.'

'Yet, I had to use Entropy while fighting him in an advantageous battleground for me. He definitely wasn't an average Mid Commander Stage warrior.'

Shang only looked silently at the emblem.

'And yet, he came for me personally. Why? I mean, sure, the reason was because of his son's death, but I'm certain that he knew that he could never keep his excursion a secret. If he went to the Wasteland in the Storm Eagle Zone on the same day as when I died, he would be the prime suspect.'

'Additionally, how did he even find me? The Caves are gigantic, and I could have been anywhere.'

'What would I have done in his stead?'

'He had several months to anticipate my next move and plan accordingly. That was definitely enough to set things up.'

Shang scratched his chin in thought. 'But how did he do it? How would I have done it?'

'Well, if I were in his shoes, the first priority would be to guess what my opponent would do next, which isn't difficult in this case.'
