Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang kept drowning himself in training with his saber. He fought one beast after the other without any pause.

During these fights, his mind was calm, and he was focused.

His survival and power were the only important things.

About a month later, Shang summoned some more Abominations in the Storm Eagle Zone, but he only summoned them around Warrior's Paradise.

The Abominations couldn't even end a single life during that fight.

Surprisingly, the Storm Eagle didn't decide to leave. It probably was still a bit afraid of getting involved too much.

Sure, if there were a Commander Stage or True Path Stage Abomination, it would definitely come out and kill it, but the Commander Stage Abomination vanished so quickly that it couldn't be sure if there had even been one.

Shang's return was still kept secret, even from the Dean.

Right now, Duke Whirlwind wanted to be careful more than anything else.

Luckily, Shang managed to keep himself away from any prying eyes. He had become very good at hiding after years of staying inside hostile Kingdoms.

Duke Whirlwind and Shang talked from time to time, but it was mostly about how to deal with their next target, Duke Torrent.

Duke Torrent was an Early High Mage with a Water Affinity. She was generally seen as approachable, likable, and friendly. Additionally, since she was the second-best healer in the entire Kingdom, right after the Archduke with her Light Affinity, she was very popular amongst the populace.

Due to her abilities, nearly no one died under her rule while being attacked by the Abominations, which was very rare. After all, only extremely fortified locations could claim to have such a low fatality rate amongst their forces.

However, when Shang heard about these qualities, he only narrowed his right eye.

She was his enemy, just like 90% of the world, and her beloved status only made it harder to assault her public image.
