Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang had transformed Sword into its Colossal Sword State again, but due to the God's answer, he had decided to stop with the beast category.

Shang quickly transformed Sword into its Saber State for the Mage category. He didn't really mind all the ore he had wasted by doing that. He had more than enough ore.

The wheel began to spin, and just like last time, there were now Affinities on the wheel instead of pictures.

Shang didn't really care about what Affinities his first few opponents had, and he simply waited for his opponent.

The first Mage appeared, and Shang simply looked at them without any changes to his expression.

The bell rang, and the Mage opened their eyes.

They were immediately greeted by a Shooting Star.

BANG!

Surprisingly, even the weak High Mage managed to get their Mana Shield off before Shooting Star hit, surprising Shang by a little.

However, Shang just continued unleashing Shooting Stars and Hidden Suns one after the other, and before the Mage had even readied their first Spell, their Mana Shield already broke.

It took three attacks to break the Mana Shield.

The Mage couldn't even comprehend what had happened before the next attack blew them apart.

And that was level one.

Level two literally wasn't any different.

Level three, on the other hand, saw some slight changes.

The Mage managed to get Mana Shield plus Mana Step off very quickly, and their Focus was already condensing a Spell.

However, Shang only needed to angle his new attacks to the Mage's new spot.

The Mage used Mana Step once again, and Shang continued shooting at their new location.

Obviously, the Mage was trying to exhaust Shang's Mana. After all, such an insanely powerful offense had to cost a ridiculous amount of Mana, right?

With every Mana Step, the Mage managed to evade about five attacks.
