Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next three months, Shang kept strengthening his body and digging for ore.

Digging for ore wasn't as straightforward as he had thought. Sure, Sword was finding a lot of ore, but not every piece of ore was usable by them.

Some had the wrong Affinity.

Others were either too weak or too strong.

However, after several months of nearly fully focusing on mining ore, Shang had gotten enough to boost Sword to the Late Commander Stage.

Yes, he had found enough to boost it to the Mid Commander Stage and then to the Late Commander Stage.

Sword's shape hadn't changed, but it had become quite a bit heavier. Now, it no longer felt like Shang was swinging a small stick around.

Shang's sword was already quite big, even if it was not as big as when Shang had been in the Grandmountain Kingdom. This also meant that it was quite heavy.

Usually, only a Late Commander Stage warrior could wield the current Sword, but they would only be able to move slowly.

But Shang could swing Sword with only one hand.

This spoke volumes about Shang's physical strength.

Right now, Shang's body was a bit weaker than the body of a Peak Commander Stage warrior, which was a terrifying gap in power.

Honestly, at this point, it became almost pointless for Shang to compare himself to warriors. There were so few warriors left in the world with a body more powerful than him, and the warriors had also fallen off by a lot when compared to beasts and Mages.

From now on, Shang could only adequately compare his physical strength to beasts and his actual power to Mages.

So, how powerful was Shang's body when compared to an Initial Commander Stage beast after three months of strengthening?

Shang had just finished his most recent strengthening. Originally, he had killed another Early Commander Stage beast, but if Shang decided to use its heart, he would miss the deadline for the trial.

Because of that, Shang had gone out again to hunt an Initial Commander Stage beast, and he eventually got it.
