Sword God in a World of Magic

When Shang saw that his opponent had a Fire Affinity, he knew that he had a chance.

'If they decide to heat up their surroundings, I can release far more Fire Blasts without injuring my body!'

SHING!

Shang's opponent appeared, and he looked over.

It was a young man with short, fiery-red hair. He wore simple red robes, but for some reason, the robes didn't feel as simple as they appeared.

However, when Shang looked beside the Mage, his eyes narrowed.

'His Focus has two Amplifiers.'

Beside the Mage hovered a Focus with two circlets rotating around it.

Shang had never fought a Mage that had a Focus with two Amplifiers.

The Amplifiers decided the cast speed of a Focus. Higher leveled Spells needed more complex chants. Of course, as the Mages got more powerful, their mastery over their Mana and Affinity allowed them to cast faster as well.

However, a Focus was only a tool, and it couldn't cast faster as the Mage progressed. In order to allow a Focus to cast faster, one needed to add Amplifiers.

An Early True Mage with such a Focus could essentially cast at double their speed.

'Even though he has a Fire Affinity, I'm still not sure if I can win. His Focus took me a bit by surprise.'

The jester slowly lifted his hammer and struck the bell.

DING!

Shang immediately exploded forward with a Fire Blast.

The Mage slowly opened his eyes and noticed Shang.

His eyebrows furrowed, but he immediately began casting.

As Shang approached, he noticed something.

'He isn't casting Mana Shield!' he thought with furrowed brows. 'Usually, I would think of my opponent to be stupid if they did that, but the God judged this Mage to be extremely powerful in his Realm.'

Shang quickly closed in on the Mage, but when Shang was only fifty meters away from him, the Mage's Focus suddenly began to burn violently.

'Focus Fusion!' Shang thought.

Focus Fusion meant that a Mage and their Focus cast the same Spell. With that ability, they could cast very powerful Spells in a very short time.
