Sword God in a World of Magic

Five hours later, Shang returned to the real world and focused on the confused woman wandering around his territory.

The last time, he had waited a week to waste as much time as possible.

But this time, waiting for an entire week wouldn't be the optimal course of action.

Last time, it was obvious that Shang would be superior to his enemy, but this time, he had fought against quite a strong Mage.

Waiting an entire week would unveil Shang's power as a Cloud to everyone.

There was still a high likelihood that Shang was only a Boltling.

The Lightning Manor could use him to lure out an enemy with a fourfold Spirit Sense and then directly attack that person with the strongest Cloud they had, killing one of the most talented Mages in the Judgment Palace.

For such a plan to work, Shang needed to be quite a strong Boltling.

Really brutal fights between even Mages on such a level could take up to twelve hours, but Shang decided to end the fight after five.

He didn't want it to appear too close.

Shang moved into the sky and spoke several complex words.

Whooom!

A Mana Shield appeared around him.

The next moment, Shang threw a big part of the Mana inside his mind away.

And then, he cast a Fire Spell, which killed the confused woman.

The cloudy barrier became transparent again, and the enemy Mage King looked at the distant Shang.

She could see that he was rapidly absorbing Mana, and with her very experienced eyes, she could also see that Shang wasn't even close to having a full tank of Mana right now.

Everything seemed like the fight had been relatively close.

Naturally, she was still skeptical.

Shang could be putting on a show.

However, the chances of that were low.
