Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang fought the Berserker, and he was quite surprised by how weak the Berserker was initially.

Sure, his body was stronger than the body of a Weapon Master, but neither his power nor his speed or his techniques were better than the Barbarian.

But there was one difference.

His defense was amazing!

The attack that had created a gash on the Barbarian's face only left a scratch on the Berserker's face.

And then, the Berserker's attacks grew a slight bit faster and a slight bit stronger as a tiny red afterglow appeared behind his swinging axes.

Shang became interested and created a huge gash on the Berserker's chest with his Addum.

The Berserker began to bleed heavily, but his body didn't even show an inkling of healing.

With the huge gash, the Berserker's speed and power reached the Barbarian's level.

CRKSH!

And then, Shang bisected the Berserker with his Addum.

He had seen enough.

Shang quickly entered the next trial and noticed that the arena had become quite a bit bigger. It was around 100 kilometers wide.

This would be a medium-distance battle, according to the size of the arena.

'I guess Lucius only wanted to test me with three close-combat Paths.'

Shang's next fight was against a woman with green hair that wore several bows and crossbows all over her body.

Apparently, she was an Early Ranger Lord, a Path Shang had never heard of.

Her entire gimmick was that she rapidly shot a storm of arrows at Shang.

Her rate of attack was quite a bit faster than a Mage's, but Shang could tell that her range was lower. Additionally, she lacked any form of powerful attack that could break through thick armor.

Shang simply killed her with a couple of ranged attacks since her defense was almost nonexistent.

Shang's next fight was against a Domain Controller.

His entire thing was that he filled the room with lightning, which quickly started to burn Shang's body.

His attacks were simply unavoidable since they encompassed the entire room.

However, the Domain Controller himself only used attacks to push Shang away, and he used plenty of techniques to flee.

It was clear that his tactic was to slowly kill the enemy with his Domain.

Sadly, Shang couldn't experiment for long since the Domain was actually quite dangerous, and he ended the fight rather quickly.
