Sword God in a World of Magic

After the group of five left, Star City crowned the champion of the tournament to find the strongest warrior.

Contestant 1, Elver!

Undeniably, Elver was the strongest warrior in the world. Sure, there might be that one Mage that had also learned how to be a warrior, but that couldn't be counted. If any Mage could just take part in the tournament, any Mage Lord could win the tournament just with their insanely strong bodies.

Only pure warriors counted, and Elver was definitely the strongest among them!

The watching Mages applauded as the strongest warrior in the world received his prize, a humongous spear.

This spear symbolized the creation of a path. The owner of the spear was at the forefront of warriorkind, and it was their duty to blaze a new path.

In essence, they were the head of the spear.

However, while the Mages watched with interest, some of the warriors felt like this entire ceremony was a farce.

Oliver and Elver knew Shang.

They were certain that the person in front of them earlier definitely had been Shang.

Shang, a Mage?

They knew that he had a warrior's body, and even if he didn't, they couldn't imagine him following the Magic Path.

Ever since Shang had been at the Commander Stage, he had done things that warriors believed to be impossible.

His power had always been a level above every other warrior.

And things hadn't changed.

Just when they had expected that they knew what they could expect from Shang, he surprised them yet again.

Elver would have expected to be able to fight Shang, at least. He didn't expect that he would win, but he had expected that he would be able to attack him.

Yet, when Shang had moved his fingers, everything became clear.

Elver hadn't been the target of that attack, but he could feel its power.

By just moving his fingers, Shang had summoned powers of the Sixth Realm.

He hadn't even drawn his weapon.

Fighting him would have been no different from fighting an Ancestral Mage.

Fighting him would have been no different from fighting a Zone Beast.

Elver, the strongest warrior in the world?
