Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang quickly shook his head to regain his focus.

'I don't have time to think about that right now! I can think about that stuff when I'm safe!'

Shang focused on the distant towers again as he summoned a hood made of fish scales. He didn't want the Grandmountain Kingdom to recognize him.

If they recognized him, they would know that he only had one eye, which was basically unique in this world. Then, if Shang appeared back in the Skythunder Kingdom eventually and they connected the sudden appearances of the Abominations with his identity, the Kingdoms might decide to ignore the war to deal with Shang.

After all, someone like him was a threat to all of them.

Shang had to keep his identity a secret if he wanted to live openly inside the Skythunder Kingdom again, and he couldn't allow his identity to be connected to the Abominations.

By now, he could see two Mages standing on each tower, and they were talking with each other as they glanced at the lake.

They noticed that the water level was dropping.

'They will see me soon, but I can't kill them. These towers are fortified with a gigantic Mana Shield that uses Mana stored in Mana Crystals. Exhausting the supply of one tower would be like trying to break through a Peak True Mage's Mana Shield. By the point I broke it, the Mages would have already contacted their superiors.'

'Additionally, they will notice the power of my attacks, giving them an inkling of my power. Right now, my advantage is that they don't know how powerful I am.'

'If I get chased by a Late True Mage, I might not be able to escape in time, and if a Peak True Mage comes after me, only death awaits me.'

'I have to keep my power a secret, and I will only have a single opportunity to unleash my power!'

BANG!

Shang released an Ice Blast and shot towards the northwest, past the northern tower.

At that moment, the Mages noticed Shang. After all, he was literally exploding through the sky.

"Stop or we will kill you!" one of the Mages in the northern tower shouted loudly.

Of course, Shang didn't stop, and he unleashed a Fire Blast to keep his speed at its peak.

"Attack!" the Mage ordered.

A moment later, the tower began to light up as the two Mages focused their Mana on it.

A second later, a huge fireball appeared above the tower, which directly shot at Shang.

Shang immediately released a ranged attack at the fireball with his sword, the recoil throwing him further towards the north.

BOOOOOM!

The fireball exploded in the distance as Shang kept going.

"Change to crowd control!" the Mage shouted.

The light of the tower started pulsating quickly, and about ten small fireballs appeared above it.

And then, the ten fireballs shot toward Shang one after the other.
