Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang tried Impose a couple more times and grew even more familiar with it.

Impose increased his power by quite a lot, and it even allowed Shang to swing his Great Sword with only a single arm.

It was almost like he was swinging his Great Sword like his Long Sword.

When Shang had that thought, he suddenly stopped.

'I can swing my Great Sword like my Long Sword?' Shang thought as he scratched his chin.

'I mean, it definitely moves faster than before. In a way, my Great Sword can now move nearly as fast as my Long Sword, which is beyond impressive.'

'However, it doesn't really feel like a Great Sword anymore. If I need speed, I will just use a different State.'

'I wonder, is there a way to use Impose in a different way?' Shang thought as he looked at his Great Sword.

Shang closed his right eye and focused on the surroundings.

After practicing for a while, Shang could feel how his mind moved the world around him.

While he was swinging his sword, he simply wanted the swing to have more power, which was why the world was essentially pushing the Great Sword forward.

Shang tested a couple of things and found out that he could also make the world gather on his Great Sword.

It was a bit of a weird feeling. It was like all the Mana in the surroundings gathered around the Great Sword, fusing with it.

When Shang tried to swing his Great Sword again, he could barely move it.

It was like it had become many times heavier.

'Sure enough, that feels more like a Great Sword. However, it shouldn't be that heavy.'

Then, Shang willed some of the world's Mana to leave his sword.

After leaving Sword, the Mana in the world could now be used to boost the power of Shang's swing again.

'I can use both at a time, but I only have a finite amount of Mana in the surroundings. It's up to me how I use it.'

Shang tried a couple more swings with different uses of Impose, and he finally came to a result he was happy with.

'fifty-fifty,' Shang thought. 'I use half of the Mana to increase the weight of my Great Sword and use half to push it forward.'

'My attack will move slower than it would move with my old Mana pathway framework, but it is still quite fast. However, the power of my attacks is probably double as strong as with my own framework if I use Impose like that.'

'I exchange a bit of speed for a tremendous increase in power. Seems fitting for my Great Sword State.'
