Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang landed beside the corpse and quickly put his hand to it before it vanished.

The corpse barely shriveled up, but Shang managed to refill his entire Mana and life energy beyond its normal maximum.

Then, the cheering returned, and the corpse started to vanish.

Shang quickly took out more ore and stabbed Sword into it, returning it to its Colossal Sword State.

The Colossal Sword State was simply the best State when it came to killing beasts and closing in on opponents. It was a perfect starter for any kind of fight.

"Level twelve: Powerful Late True Path Stage beast."

Shang took a deep breath as the wheel returned.

'The next fight is not going to be easy. No matter what I will fight, I doubt that I will be able to end it by only closing in and using Dusk. That might work against normal beasts, but powerful ones have terrifying instincts and hidden weapons.'

'Additionally, the speed gap is only going to get bigger, and I might even need to use more power with Brilliance to actually create an opening.'

Shang glanced at the wheel. 'I will probably have to use more than one State during this fight.'

'Luckily, my Great Sword State is the ultimate counter to beasts.'

All in all, every State Shang had created was good for something.

The Colossal Sword State was great for starting the fight against any kind of opponent.

The Great Sword State was great for killing beasts.

The Saber State was a good allrounder, useful for basically everything.

The Long Sword State was great for killing Mages.

The best part was that Shang could transition into any kind of State from his Colossal Sword State. If necessary, he could burn more to immediately get to the Long Sword State, for example.

The Colossal Sword State would always be his starter, but after that, he could choose which State he wanted to use.
