Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang left the sandy wall and swam downward in a diagonal way. He didn't want to get too far from the wall, but he knew that he also wouldn't find any beasts that close to it.

Shang had no idea how far down he had to go to find a beast appropriate to his level. After all, he hadn't even found a weak beast up to now.

It was a gamble.

Shang continued swimming down in the dark lake for quite a while.

Everything was silent.

The lake was completely still.

It was almost like it was ancient.

Was this really just a place that a Zone Beast had created, or had the lake been there before the Zone Beast had appeared?

Shang continued descending for about five more minutes before he stopped.

'I don't know how deep I have to go to find an appropriate beast to my level. It's also possible that I might go beyond where I want to go. If I do that, I will die.'

Shang stopped descending and decided to swim further out into the lake from his current depth. He guessed that he was probably nearly three kilometers deep.

The scenery didn't change.

It didn't matter if Shang went down, forward, or up. Everything always remained the same.

There was still no movement.

'I need to do something drastic if I want to gain some intel,' Shang thought.

Shang readied his sword.

BANG!

Shang released an Ice Blast, turning the water behind him into ice as he shot forward.

The rapid speed at which Shang was moving through the water cooled his heated body very quickly, allowing him to cast another Ice Blast just a second later.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Shang used one Ice Blast after the next to rapidly move around.

He had no idea where he had to go.

He was only blindly moving around.

Eventually, about a minute later, Shang felt a strong current that wasn't created by him.

BANG!

Shang exploded towards the place where the current had come from.

BANG!

Shang released a second Ice Blast, turning everything behind him into ice.

CRACK!

The blunt side of Shang's sword had just hit something!

The water around Shang turned red, and he saw something move in the darkness.

Shang extended his hand forward and grabbed the closest thing to him.

It didn't move.
