Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang had finally deciphered the full technique.

Exhaust all your Mana, eat the heart of a beast on your level with your Affinity, isolate the Mana from outside and strengthen your body.

'This should be the full technique.'

However, that brought on another problem.

'But if I want to make full use of that technique, I need an Abomination,' Shang thought with a frown, 'and those are not really common.'

'That's a problem.'

Shang tried to think of a solution to this problem, but there was none.

The Abominations would be killed by the Zone Beasts as soon as they saw them, and if Shang appeared beside them, the Zone Beasts might decide to also kill him. The Thunder Horse's mark was only a suggestion to the Zone Beasts, and on top of that, the beasts here probably didn't even know the Thunder Horse.

'I can't just call an Abomination, right?'

Shang knew that he and the Abominations had some kind of connection. Every time Shang came in contact with one, they could feel each other. Additionally, Shang had never felt any kind of animosity from an Abomination.

It was almost like the Abominations saw Shang as one of their own.

Shang sighed. 'Even if I could call one, it would be impossible for me to absorb it.'

'First of all, while the Mages don't get involved in barbarian business, if they suddenly see an Abomination, they will attack it and take it back to analyze it. Even if I killed it, they would just confiscate it.'

'On top of that, it would attract at least one Zone Beast, and it would turn the Abomination into dust. At the same time, the Zone Beast would notice me and might even decide to kill me.'

'So, even if there were a vending machine of Abominations right beside me, I couldn't use it.'

'It seems like I have to use other beasts for now. Luckily, the type of technique I use will only dictate my current power, and it will make no difference if I switch later.'

'For now, the full potential of my body can't be realized, but I can still strengthen my body by quite a bit.'

'Anyway, I should ask about the local fauna from the barbarians.'
