Sword God in a World of Magic

Eventually, Shang ceased contemplating Entropy.

Though Shang had a strong desire to invest substantial time in understanding Entropy, as he believed he was making progress, he realized it wasn't the most efficient approach at the moment.

Before anything else, Shang needed to strengthen his Realm. Immersing himself in comprehending Concepts now would be a waste of time, as Concepts wouldn't evade him.

First, he needed to increase his power.

Next, he planned to comprehend a few non-essential Destinations.

Only after that would he decide on his next focus. At that point, Entropy could be a potential direction.

Shang drew the black sphere of Entropy toward himself and absorbed it. This process wasn't any different for Shang than absorbing pure Mana.

Immediately after, Shang summoned another Abomination Lord and attempted to provoke it into fighting him.

Within minutes, the Abomination Lord halfheartedly launched an attack against Shang.

The Abomination Lord demonstrated considerable speed, comparable to that of a Late Beast Lord. Its physical strength also matched that of a Late Beast Lord.

It's worth noting that Shang had summoned an Early Abomination Lord.

Even disregarding its Domain of Entropy, the Early Abomination Lord had the potential to challenge an Early Mage Lord.

Factoring in its Domain of Entropy, the Early Abomination Lord might even pose a threat to Peak Mage Lords and Mid Mage Lord Clouds.

An Abomination Lord could leap a level when facing a Cloud.
