Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang was pulled to the back of the village into a small and dark cave.

"What Element are you attuned to?" one of the Mages asked with a cold tone.

"Fire," Shang answered.

"Show me."

Shang lifted his arm, and a bit of fire appeared around it. The fire was very weak, and it only roughly appeared around his arm.

The Mage wasn't surprised and pulled Shang to one side of the cave.

The two chains were put to two cyan spots on the wall, and they fused with them. Shang still had enough chain left to sit down, but he couldn't walk further than a meter with them attached.

"If we see any damage on the chains or the ore, it will be treated as an escape attempt, and we will kill you," one of the two Mages said.

Shang only looked at them.

"Do you understand, One-Eye?" he asked.

Shang didn't answer.

BANG!

A big stone appeared in front of Shang and shot into his chest, breaking his ribs.

"Answer!" one of the Mages demanded with a strict voice.

Shang's expression didn't change.

"Yes," he said calmly. There was no rage inside his voice.

The Mage snorted, and the two of them left the cave again.

For some reason, they really hated this unaffiliated barbarian.

After the two of them left, silence returned to the cave.

Shang's expression didn't change, but he sat down near the wall.

'They probably use the desperation of the barbarians to force them down a path of strengthening,' Shang thought. 'The abuse and disregard will foster a feeling of resistance in some of the barbarians.'

'However, it isn't perfect. Many other barbarians will probably get demotivated and lose all hope, hindering them from unleashing their full potential.'
