Sword God in a World of Magic

The corpse of the bug quickly vanished, and the cheering returned.

An average beast, a level above him, wasn't very difficult for Shang to kill. He only needed to release three attacks and didn't even need to move from his spot.

Shang's offensive power in his Saber State was insanely powerful. He could essentially release over ten attacks equivalent to basic Spells of High Mages in just a single second.

The wheel returned and began to spin again.

"Level six: Powerful Early True Path Stage beast."

Shang looked at the wheel with a bit of subdued interest.

When it stopped, the picture it landed on enlarged, and Shang could see the image of an old tortoise with a cartoony castle on its back.

SHING!

Shang's opponent appeared, and he looked over.

It was big.

Like, really big.

Shang guessed that it was probably around as big as the Exploding Mountain Turtle he had seen back then at around 500 meters high.

It was a gigantic, black tortoise completely surrounded by a thick layer of black metal. Even its eyes, ears, and mouth were surrounded by the metal. In a way, it looked like a humongous statue made of metal.

However, the Exploding Mountain Turtle was obviously not on the level of this imposing armored fortress.

Shang could already guess why the tortoise counted as a powerful beast.

There were two ways to become truly powerful in general.

The traditional and most-used way was to eradicate all weaknesses and become good at everything.

Good speed.

Good attacking power.

Good defense.

Good tactics.

However, there was a second, rarer way.

It was to push one aspect so incredibly high that the others didn't matter anymore.

If one got access to insane speeds, defense didn't matter. The opponent wouldn't even be able to unleash an attack before they died. Offensive power also wouldn't matter as much since the combatant could make up for their lack of offense by simply attacking an insane number of times in a short moment.

This tortoise had obviously pushed its defensive powers to the absolute limit.

If it was impossible to injure it, it wouldn't die. It could just slowly suppress its opponent into nothingness.

Sure, its offensive power and speed were probably not very great, but it had all the time in the world to win.

It probably wouldn't mind slowly exhausting its opponent to death over several hours. At some point, its opponent was bound to make a mistake.

'High defense is the weakness of my Saber State. I wonder if the God chose this opponent on purpose,' Shang thought.

Yes, Shang's Saber State had an insane offensive power, but it was released in the number of attacks he released, not the attacks' individual power.

One turret from Earth could kill thousands of people in one continuous barrage, but it couldn't punch through a tank with the same ammunition. The tank could just drive forward and drive over the turret.
