Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slowly absorbed all the life energy out of the corpse.

His flesh recovered, but there wasn't enough for his skin.

When the corpse turned into a husk, it started to vanish, and the cheering returned.

Shang slowly sat back up and closed his right eye.

He summoned some ore and stabbed the little dagger into it.

This time, Sword was absorbing the ore much slower than previously.

Just like Shang, it was in an incredibly weakened state.

Meanwhile, Shang focused on the Mana in the surroundings and did his best to absorb it as quickly as possible.

Some skin already appeared again as the wheel returned.

"Level ten: Weak Late High Mage."

The wheel began to spin, but Shang only kept focusing on the surroundings.

If he wanted to beat the next level, he had to recover as much as possible.

Just before the wheel stopped, Shang had recovered his skin, but he was still missing a lot of life energy and Mana.

He had managed to heal his body, but he would need to rely on his passive regeneration for the next minute or so.

SHING!

Shang's opponent appeared, and Shang opened his right eye.

It was an older man with fiery red hair.

Shang slowly stood up and waited.

The jester lifted his hammer and struck the bell.

DING!

Shang pulled out Sword from the heap of ore.

By now, it had recovered to its Saber State. That was sadly everything it managed to recover in this short amount of time.

However, that was already enough.

The Mage opened his eyes and cast his Mana Shield.

Shang readied his Saber and started his barrage of range attacks.
