Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang cut off the front half of the tortoise, and immediately, the battle stopped.

Luckily, the true tortoise had been well in the back half since enemies tended to attack the chest and neck more often than the ass.

A moment later, Shang reappeared as he stopped using his Concepts of Light and Darkness.

"The fight is over," Shang said.

Then, Shang turned around and flew out of the Isolation Barrier. After the fight had ended, it no longer stopped him from leaving.

Shang's Spirit Sense locked onto the Thunder King. "I need some time to think, and I need to go back for a while. I will return later."

The Thunder King didn't answer. Apparently, it was still annoyed by Shang's earlier disrespect.

Shang simply took to the sky and flew towards the southeast.

On his way, he thought about everything he had just learned, and he realized something.

'Sword Mana is definitely the level above Sword Heart, but the infusion of my Death Mana in Sword Mana is not part of it.'

'This must be something separate.'

'Sword Mana on its own already increases my power by a lot, but with the addition of Death Mana, it became even more powerful.'

'It doesn't feel like something on the level of a level five Concept, but all of this is stronger than a level four Concept.'

'I believe Sword Mana is on the level of a level four Concept, and the infusion of Mana into Sword Mana is probably also on the level of a level four Concept.'

'It makes sense. Mages can comprehend different Concepts related to their Affinities, but if a warrior wanted a twofold Spirit Sense, they need to comprehend entirely different weapons.'

'That's like asking a Mage to comprehend a Concept from a separate Affinity.'

'There must have been a way to get a severalfold Spirit Sense without having to comprehend different weapons, and I think this might be one of those ways.'
