Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang's instincts shouted at him to dodge to the side, and he did just that.

BANG!

Just an instant later, a terrifyingly fast bolt of lightning shot past the place where Shang had just been, even touching his body.

Shang's armor became seared on the side, but it was powerful enough to somewhat resist the terrifying lightning bolt.

However, if Shang had been hit by that, the Magic Circles on his armor would have been activated, which meant that he would have received a life-threatening injury.

These lightning bolts were no joke.

Shang's right eye quickly focused on the Serpent, and he prepared himself.

He now knew what he had to look out for.

BANG!

Shang continued charging toward the gigantic Serpent in the sky.

And then, a second lightning bolt shot at Shang.

At that moment, Shang didn't evade.

He had just extended his Colossal Sword and quickly angled it so that its tip pointed right at the lightning bolt.

Then, the tip of his sword began to shine with bright light.

The lightning bolt hit the tip of the sword.

DING!

As soon as it hit, the lightning bolt didn't explode.

Rather, it got dispersed like a tidal wave hitting a boulder!

The lightning blasted past Shang with its incredible power, but none of the bolts hit him.

This was one of Shang's new techniques for the Colossal Sword State that was designed to counter Mages.

Like light hitting a crystal, the enemy's attack would be split and scattered over the surroundings.

Shang called it Refraction.
