Sword God in a World of Magic

As Dawn vanished, Shang could finally see the Serpent again.

It had been broken into two pieces, and it was falling towards the ground.

Just because someone was very powerful didn't mean that they didn't need their organs.

In fact, starting at the General Stage, the organs inside someone's body had already stopped their old functions and assumed new ones.

They were responsible for moving Mana around and generating life energy.

Without organs, someone's life energy would very quickly deteriorate until they died.

Even getting rid of just one organ already put a major dent in someone's ability to generate life energy.

With most of the Serpent's organs gone, it was already basically dead.

Beasts didn't have the luxury of quickly being able to recover parts of their bodies. They needed a bit of time to recover everything.

As the Serpent fell to the ground, Shang charged forward and put his arm on one of the halves, quickly regaining all his lost Mana and life energy.

A couple of seconds later, the cheering returned, and the corpse vanished.

Shang took a deep breath.

'The fight definitely hadn't been easy, but I won. The start was rough, but as soon as I managed to unleash New Moon, I gained control over the fight.'

'Sure enough, the Great Sword State is best for dealing with beasts.'

As Shang looked at the vanishing corpse, he thought about something he didn't like.

'Any random Late High Mage could have defeated this Serpent. I'm honestly not sure if I can win against an average Late High Mage at this point.'

'Additionally, a very talented Mid High Mage will very likely also win against the Serpent.'

'But my power has already made a great jump compared to the last trial.'

'Last time, level six in the Mage category had already ended my trial, but this time, I'm certain that I can reach level nine. With luck, I might even beat level eleven, but I'm honestly not sure.'

As the wheel returned, Shang fed more ore to Sword.
