Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang really didn't like hearing that.

There was something no one in the Skythunder Kingdom had ever seen before above him, and he couldn't access it.

He wanted to know what was in it and why he could feel an Abomination there.

Yet, there was no way to enter.

Shang tried a couple of other things, but all of them failed.

Eventually, Shang walked through the portal again and tested the ceiling in that room too.

Same thing. Too hard.

'Maybe I should climb up. Maybe there is a spot that's not as hard and thick.'

Shang exited the room and looked up.

Then, he jumped to the first wall and jumped to the second one.

However, due to the Gravity, Shang couldn't even nearly reach the other wall in his jump.

'I can't even zig-zag upward due to the strong gravity and the gap. To think that a gap of ten meters would be so insurmountable for me.'

'Sure, I could use my Fire and Ice Blasts, but I would eventually run out of body to use.'

'Seems like we have to go at it the slow way.'

Shang walked to the first wall and put Sword on it. "Can you dig out some handholds for me?"

Sword didn't answer for two whole seconds.

"Do you know how long that will take?"

Shang sighed. "I know that it will take a long time. You needed like two hours for the hole. Sure, you only have to make some small cuts so that you fit in, but that will probably also take a couple of minutes each."

"And you can't even jump," Sword said. "We fell for around 20 kilometers, and I would need over ten minutes per meter, assuming I don't get exhausted."

As Shang thought about Sword's words, he realized that the process might take quite a long time.

Shang did some math in his head and came to the conclusion that creating a makeshift ladder to the hole he had made would take over four months.

'Four fucking months,' Shang thought with a frown. 'I have patience, but I won't wait in here for four months.'

Then, Shang got an idea.

"How about you just make a normal hole, and we travel through the Caves," Shang said.

"Shang," Sword answered. "Why are you overlooking the obvious problem?"

Sword's words took Shang by surprise. "What problem?"

"When we dig through this hole, where will we be?"

"The Caves, obvious-"

And then, Shang realized the problem.

Sure, they would be in the Caves, but they would be at their deepest part.

This meant that Shang would reach the home of True Path Stage beasts and maybe even beasts of the fifth Realm.

Beasts of such power had a terrifying perception, and Shang was certain that they would very quickly notice him.

And when they did?

Sure, the Thunder Horse's mark would probably dissuade beasts of the Fifth Realm from attacking, but True Path Stage beasts would probably directly attack Shang since they would think that he was an Abomination.

And even if Shang managed to climb up, he would enter an area filled with Peak Commander Stage beasts.

Yes, this was called the Calm Zone, but that wasn't a guarantee that no beast would be here.
