Sword God in a World of Magic

WHOOOOM!

Shang swung his sword, and the world around him followed.

At the moment, eight people were sitting on the grass on top of a hill in silence.

They were all watching Shang's swings attentively.

At this moment, Shang was swinging with a completely new kind of sword.

In a way, this new State could be seen as a mix of Shang's Saber State and his Colossal Sword State.

The sword was around 150 centimeters long, and it looked a bit like a long cleaver. It was curved and only had one cutting edge. In the middle of the cutting edge was a small "corner", which was used to gather all the power of a swing into one single point. From bottom to top, the sword looked a bit like a [-symbol.

As Shang was swinging his sword, different kinds of Mana could be felt by the present people.

Sometimes, there was extremely hot Fire Mana.

Sometimes, there was extremely bright Light Mana.

Sometimes, there was Light Mana that completely focused on mass.

"This is not a Path that exists within the Star Map," Shang said during a swing.

"I don't know who has created the Star Map, but it has definitely been created by a person."

Shang swung another time, the world seemingly warping around his new sword.

"The Star Map we all know has a limited number of weapons, and only a few of them are swords."

"Is a knife a sword?"

"Is a dagger a sword?"

"A long sword is a sword."

"A saber is a sword."

"A great sword is a sword."

"A colossal sword is a sword."

"Is a colossal mace with an edge a sword?"
