Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang stood at the edge of the cave and looked at the surroundings of the mountain with cold, calculating, and calm eyes.

He had calmed down.

The 20 days of waiting for the foreign will to vanish had given him plenty of time to think about his actions.

Eventually, he came to a conclusion.

'I lost control.'

'Being emotional brought me into unnecessary danger.'

'I need to keep my rage in check.'

'I can't listen to my emotions.'

These had been his thoughts.

And with the help of these thoughts, Shang managed to wake up and get rid of his rage.

His rage had transformed into frustration.

His lack of control over his emotions had messed up his training efficiency, and he couldn't allow that to happen again.

After absorbing the first beast, Shang had followed his usual routine, and it worked out very well.

He continued absorbing Mid Commander Stage beasts, and the efficiency was now about 20% better than absorbing Early Commander Stage beasts.

Shang also wasn't completely helpless for an entire week after absorbing one.

'Overcoming the regret of my choices helped me in solidifying the importance of my goal, strengthening my willpower.'

'Many people fear emotional pain, but overcoming such pain can do wonders for your willpower.'

'The pain of my past gives me strength for my future.'

It had been three months since Shang had reached the Ancestral Mountain, and he was finally ready to leave.

Enough time had passed that the appearance of Abominations wouldn't be connected to his presence. After all, if Abominations had appeared right after he arrived here, it would have been awfully coincidental, right?

Shang's body had also reached about 83% of the power of an Early Commander Stage beast's body, and it was time to push that efficiency more by absorbing another Abomination.

Lastly, Shang had spent most of the last three months searching for powerful ore in the Ancestral Mountain.

He had to go to some dangerous places, but he was very good at sensing danger and escaping.

And finally, he upgraded Sword to the Peak Commander Stage.

This was about as powerful as Shang could make Sword with his current power.

The next upgrade would be for the Initial True Path Stage, and those kinds of ores only existed near True Path Stage beasts. Additionally, since this was an entirely new Stage, he would need to get the ores for his four different Affinities again.

Upgrading Sword to the Initial True Path Stage would become arduous and difficult, and it was not something Shang could attempt right now.

It was time to leave.

It was time to enter the Blackshadow Kingdom.

"Are you ready?" Shang asked Sword.

"Ready," it answered.

Shang nodded.
