Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slowly walked down the Caves with a narrowed eye. His focus was at its peak, and he kept watch over his surroundings with all of his concentration.

This was no longer the safe area where only Commander Stage beasts lived. No, this was the place where the True Path Stage beasts lived.

Shang's body had already reached the most powerful state possible for a Commander Stage warrior, which meant that he wouldn't be able to become more powerful without working on his Path.

Theoretically, Shang could break through the True Path Stage without a Path by relying on the barbarian strengthening technique, but that would lock him out of the warrior Path.

At that point, he would be like King Skythunder, someone with a powerful body but no advanced techniques.

This was not what Shang wanted.

He wanted to push himself further and further.

He wanted to create the ultimate Path for anyone using a sword.

Shang had already been working on his Path for over 20 years by now, and he wasn't even halfway done.

There was so much more to learn and so much more power to gain.

As Shang slowly stepped down the Caves, he felt like he was alone.

There were no beasts anywhere.

The Caves were dark, but Shang could rely on his Pseudo-Spirit Sense to make sense of his surroundings.

Yet, there was just nothing there.

Only walls.

Shang continued walking forward.

By now, the tunnels had reached a width and height of over a hundred meters, which was far bigger than the upper Caves.

Being alone in such a grand structure had a certain feel to it.

Suddenly, Shang focused on his right and furrowed his brows.

He could feel something charging at him.

Since Shang wasn't at the True Path Stage yet, his Spirit Sense also wasn't as big and accurate as it was supposed to be, which meant that the beasts would most likely find him first.

And, sure enough, the first beast had already found Shang and was charging at him with a lot of speed.
