Sword God in a World of Magic

The second beast appeared after another couple of seconds, and Shang killed it.

The third one died just as quickly.

The fourth one also wasn't an issue.

The fifth one needed Shang to release two strikes instead of one, but that was about it.

"Level six: Powerful Early Commander Stage beast," the mechanical voice announced.

The wheel spun, and this time, Shang actually looked at what the wheel would land on.

He still remembered the last time he had been on level six in the beast category.

He had fought a powerful tiger with insanely hard metal armor.

That fight hadn't been easy.

Eventually, the wheel stopped, and Shang saw the image of his opponent.

Just like last time, the beasts were depicted like they were mascots from a cereal company.

The image of his next opponent was a smiling, long, green snake with a large wizard hat.

'That's probably a Serpent,' Shang thought.

Sure enough, Shang's opponent appeared, and it was a Serpent.

It was about two meters wide and nearly twenty meters long. It had four claws at different parts of its body, and it hovered in the air. Wind Mana was constantly swirling around it, keeping it afloat.

The jester lifted his hammer and struck the bell.

DING!

The Serpent opened its eyes, and it quickly spotted Shang.

BANG!

Shang immediately exploded forward with an Ice Blast. He knew that Serpents were basically the Mages of the beast world. They excelled in ranged combat.

WHOOOM!

The Wind Mana around the Serpent exploded, and the Serpent went into the air without any difficulty.

After it reached a height of about a hundred meters, it focused on Shang again.

Lots of Wind Mana gathered around it as it was preparing something akin to a Spell.

SHING!

An instant later, a transparent blade shot through the air at incredible speeds, right at Shang.

BANG!

Shang evaded the blade by jumping, the blade exploding on the ground and destroying the surrounding ten meters.

Shang quickly reached a height of 25 meters, but at that point, the Serpent had another attack ready, which directly shot at Shang again.

BANG!

Shang released a Fire Blast, diagonally evading to the side while gaining more height.

The Serpent readied another attack, but something happened before it could launch it.
