Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang had never thought about teaching a beast how to fight like a warrior.

Usually, it was warriors fighting like beasts.

However, the Thunder King showed that it definitely wasn't impossible to teach a beast how to fight like a human. After all, the Thunder King was a Mage.

So, why couldn't the fish bird be a warrior?

It was definitely possible.

"No."

Silence.

"Please tell me why," the fish bird transmitted.

"I don't take on any students, and you are neither powerful nor wealthy enough to be of use to me," Shang transmitted. "Ask one of the Mages of the Lightning Manor when they appear. The Lightning Manor also has warriors that fight with weapons. Maybe they are interested in teaching you like they taught the Thunder King."

"Are these other warriors stronger than you?" the fish bird asked.

"No," Shang answered.

"Then, I don't care," it transmitted. "I am not learning from weaker beings."

"Suit yourself," Shang said. "Now, leave! You're wasting my time!"

The fish bird didn't seem like it wanted to leave.

At that moment, Shang's Aura intensified. "If you don't leave, I will kill you."

The fish bird could tell that Shang was dead serious.

After two seconds, it turned around and left the Isolation Barrier.

Shang recovered the Death Mana he had used, which was quite easy thanks to the level four Concept of Death.

About a minute later, Shang's opponent entered the Isolation Barrier.

His next opponent was…

The fish bird.
