Sword God in a World of Magic

A moment after Shang killed Cindy, all the ice in the surroundings vanished as Lucin turned it back into Ice Mana.

"Winner: Cloud Shang," Lucin announced.

At the same time, the audience looked with shock at the picture in front of them.

The warrior held a dried-up corpse up with his sword.

He seemed uninjured.

After the battle had started, everyone had already realized that this warrior might really have the ability to rival the real Clouds, but when they saw Shang actually win, it confirmed it.

For the first time, the Mages felt a certain emotion.

Nervousness, but not just any nervousness.

The nervousness of seeing someone fundamentally belonging to a completely different class reaching one's level.

Yes, it was only one warrior, but all the Clouds were also "only one Mage".

Such incredible freaks with such insane talents were always seen separately from the masses. They were unique.

Yet, even though every Cloud was special, there was now someone else.

A warrior that was just as special.

Before Shang had arrived in the Hibye, the Mages were generally a bit interested in warriors.

Warriors were something interesting and unique. It was fun to watch them.

But now, this interesting thing had actually managed to reach a level where it could become a threat to them.

For the first time, this entertaining thing actually felt dangerous.

Of course, the Clouds reacted very differently to Shang.

Some of them were genuinely impressed by Shang's power and were interested in learning more about him. They weren't even truly thinking of him as just a warrior but just another Cloud.

Some of them saw Shang as a danger to their future positions, just like any other Cloud. Everyone here wanted to become a Mage King, and with this warrior, there was now one more contender.

Some of them feared Shang. Over half of the Clouds had unknown levels of Battle-Strength since they had never fought publicly. Because of that, no one knew how strong they actually were.

But now, Shang had shown his power, and by killing two Clouds, he had shown that he definitely didn't belong to the weaker half.
