Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang and Lash continued down the tunnel, leaving the corpse of the mole behind. There was nothing useful to them on the mole, and Shang didn't want to unveil that he had a Space Ring or inner world.

The mole had only functioned as training for Lash.

After walking for a couple more minutes, Shang found a Peak General Stage beast.

It was a Cobble Slug.

Shang had learned of this beast from the barbarians.

Apparently, it could create earth armor, role up into a ball, and roll over its opponents. On top of that, it had a scary ranged attack. It could condense an earthen spike and shoot it at the enemy like a cannon.

There were even some Cobble Slugs that could shoot the spike while rolling around the cave. This meant that they had high speed, high defense, and high offense.

It was definitely one of the more powerful beasts, which was also why most barbarian groups avoided them.

Who would have thought that a slug without poison could be so scary?

"Just wait here," Shang said.

BANG!

Then, Shang charged at the slug while dragging his sword behind him.

Shang's approach definitely wasn't silent, and the slug noticed him very quickly.

As soon as it saw Shang, it condensed a powerful spike in front of it and shot it at Shang.

Lash watched and frowned. If this were him, he would need to block the attack with his spike since he wasn't fast enough to evade that attack.

Lash knew that he would lose against this slug, even if it were a level below him.

It simply countered him perfectly.

Even if he managed to get close, the slug would simply turn into a ball and move away with more speed than Lash.

The spike shot towards Shang.

Shang took one small step and then one large step to the side while angling his body.

SHING!

The spike shot past his body, its wind making Shang's hair blow to the side.

Lash's eyes widened. 'How did he move so fast to the side?!' he thought in shock.
