Sword God in a World of Magic

A man with purple hair opened his eyes widely in terror.

'No!' he thought.

And then, the unstoppable flood of water rushed past his destroyed Mana Shield, distorting his body and compressing him into a cube.

Shang extended his arm and pocketed the Space Ring and the Focus without thinking much of it.

This had been the third Early Ancestral Mage he had killed in the trial in the last seven years.

Yes, it had already been seven years since Shang had entered the Deep Crevices.

And he had made quite a killing.

In total, he had killed one Mid Ancestral Mage with Sepsis on the first day, three Early Ancestral Mages, and five Initial Ancestral Mages.

From 36 Ancestral Mages that had come with Shang to the Deep Crevices, he had killed nine of them, which was 25% of the total.

Shang estimated that he had probably earned enough money to pay for the thing he wanted, but having more money was never wrong.

By getting more money now, Shang could avoid going outside and earning money in the future.

Shang thoughtlessly pocketed all the belongings and went back to the bottom of the Eternal Ocean.

He still hadn't found a trial.

For the past seven years, Shang had continually searched for a trial, but sure enough, the trials weren't easy to find.

Shang guessed that he had probably passed by several trials without noticing them.

Sadly, amongst the belongings of his victims, he also couldn't find any written accounts of trials, but that was to be expected.

After all, people only carried extensive documentation and their diaries with them in movies and novels. In real life, people didn't carry their entire life story with them in their pockets.
