Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang kept charging towards the west on autopilot. He felt like a hole had opened up inside of his chest, but he couldn't deal with that now. He had to get to safety first!

He kept running towards the west, past several barbarians and Mages looking at him with confusion and surprise.

They had no idea what was happening.

Suddenly, Shang's instincts were screaming at him, and he quickly took to the sky with an Ice Blast.

BOOOM!

A huge fireball exploded at the place where Shang would have just reached, but he managed to avoid it.

Shang quickly looked towards the southwest and saw five Mages preparing Spells.

The amount of Mana they were giving off told Shang that they were Mid True Mages. He couldn't feel all of their Affinities, but he could feel two of them.

'With at least two Mid True Mages, this is probably a Circle led by a Mage at the Late True Mage Realm, which means one of the people with an Affinity I can't feel is at the Late True Mage Realm.'

'I just hope the Late True Mage is not of the powerful kind, or I will die.'

BANG!

Shang kept charging towards the west. He couldn't waste his time with these Mages right now. The longer he remained here, the more backup they would receive. Additionally, if Shang showed his power right now, they might decide to send a Peak Mage after him.

Esther, the leader of this Circle, narrowed her eyes when she noticed that the intruder just kept running to the west. She didn't know what he was planning, but his actions were strange.

"Shoot him down!" she commanded.

The Mages performed Mana Step twice in a row, depleting their Mana by quite a bit. However, they managed to close the distance to Shang by quite a bit.

And then, all five Mages prepared their Spells, and they shot at Shang.

Two of the Spells were targeted directly at Shang, while the other three Spells targeted a wider area.

BANG!

Shang flew higher into the sky, a bit of blood coming out of his body. He couldn't remain airborne indefinitely, but it was a necessity right now. Dodging while being in the air was easier for Shang than being on the ground.

The smaller Spells missed him, but one of the bigger Spells would hit.
