Sword God in a World of Magic

After strengthening himself for the first time as a barbarian, Shang left the tunnels together with Lash.

"Did you feel a difference?" Shang asked.

"A lot of things make sense now," Lash said. "Previously, I noticed that I grew stronger by much more on some occasions and not as much on others."

"This time, I grew by a lot."

Shang nodded. "Good to hear," he said.

The two of them left the caves and returned to the group of barbarians, who were surprised and not surprised to see Shang alive at the same time.

On one hand, Shang and Lash had killed two Peak General Stage beasts very quickly, which almost seemed impossible, but on the other hand, Shang was the strongest of them, and they had full trust in him.

There was a weird conflict in their minds about whether or not what Shang did was impossible or natural.

In the end, their minds could only feel astonishment.

Their new Leader was truly powerful!

Shang and the group of barbarians resumed training.

But just a couple of days later, the Mages sent an announcement to the troop.

Tomorrow, they would attack!

'So, it's finally happening,' Shang thought. 'I was wondering if this was actually a military camp since I've been here for nearly a month without any enemy contact. Almost felt like a vacation. Well, I guess that's also why so many barbarians want to go to this front.'

The barbarians prepared themselves over the next day.

Tomorrow, they would enter battle, and it was unknown how many of them would be able to come back.

Shang also trained with Sword for the entire night to test his newfound strength.

'I should be careful of not unveiling too much power,' he thought. 'It's not an issue when I'm the strongest barbarian, but the gap shouldn't be too vast. Additionally, I need to keep my Domain and my mastery over my Mana and Affinities secret.'
