Sword God in a World of Magic

About 40 years after fighting the serpent, Shang managed to condense the Impose for his Addum.

'And with that, my second goal for the Fusion Realm is finished,' Shang thought as he held his Addum in front of him.

'Next, I have to comprehend the Concept of Subtraction, which will be the most difficult or second most difficult thing I'll have to do. Comprehending the Impose for my next weapon will not be as difficult as comprehending the Concept of Subtraction.'

'The God told me that comprehending the Concept of Subtraction should be about as difficult as comprehending a Mixed level two Concept, which is something not every High Mage can achieve. Comprehending a Mixed Concept means that you can also comprehend a Pure Concept, which means that you would have comprehended two Concepts before becoming an Archmage, making you above-average at least.'

'As a warrior, I have to comprehend something that less than 50% of High Mages can comprehend.'

In the last 40 years, Shang had also reached the Late Fusion Realm, which put his mind on the same level as a Late High Mage.

'Maybe I should hunt more Abominations first before trying to comprehend the Concept of Subtraction. My mind can still advance one level.'

'Additionally, I need to find a way to look at the Concept of Subtraction. For the Concept of Addition, I had the Yellow Sunbreaker, but I don't have a fitting beast for the Concept of Subtraction.'

'I guess I should just ask the Territory Lord. I need to update her regarding my advances anyway.'

Shang activated the Magic Circle that isolated his castle from the town and activated a tiny secret Magic Circle that created a hidden connection to the Communication Crystal network of the Temple of Blood.

Then, Shang activated the Communication Crystal and contacted the Territory Lord.

"Yes?" the voice of the Territory Lord came out of the Communication Crystal.

"I have comprehended my fifth Impose," Shang said.

"What are the results?" the Territory Lord asked.

"As expected, my World Connection has grown more powerful, giving me about 20% more power for all of my other attacks. The more Imposes I learn and integrate, the more powerful everything becomes," Shang explained.

"And you plan to reach the Sixth Realm by comprehending another Concept and adding a sixth Impose?" the Territory Lord asked.

"That's only preparatory work," Shang said. "After I've comprehended all of that, I want to somehow push everything to the next level."
