Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang charged with all of his speed toward the northwest.

The High Mage had already spotted him, and Shang readied himself for an assault.

"Identify yourself!"

Shang received a voice transmission from the High Mage of the Grandmountain Kingdom.

Traitors from the Skythunder Kingdom were very rare, but they existed. Seeing Shang charge at them could also be interpreted as fleeing from the Skythunder Kingdom. Because of that, the High Mage asked before shooting.

"My name's Shang, and I'm here to destroy your frontline!" Shang answered.

No more answer came.

At least, not a vocal one.

Instead, Shang got a different kind of answer.

WHOOOM!

All the different Mage Towers came online and focused on the rapidly approaching warrior.

There were eight Mage Towers in total that could get a clear shot on Shang.

Obviously, the High Mage didn't think that they needed to take care of Shang personally. After all, he was only a warrior.

What could a mere warrior possibly do against several Mage Towers?

Additionally, the High Mage was preoccupied with watching out for any other forces.

A singular warrior charging at them?

That smelled of a scheme.

The Skythunder Kingdom was probably planning something, and this warrior was obviously a distraction.

The High Mage had to remain ready to act when the Skythunder Kingdom's other forces inevitably got involved.

Just a second later, one of the Mage Towers fired at Shang. They didn't need to use all their Mana to deal with a single warrior.

A huge fireball appeared above the Mage Tower, and it quickly shot at Shang's current location.

Shang took out his colossal sword and struck the ground with its blunt side.

BOOOM!

Shang used his sword similar to a vaulting pole but for a horizontal adjustment of his trajectory. Instead of jumping up, he threw himself to his left, evading the Fireball.

Shang had trained a lot with his colossal sword in the past five years, and this was one of the unique uses that a colossal sword brought with it.

The Mages were quite surprised that Shang managed to evade, but they weren't perturbed.
