Sword God in a World of Magic

Inside the Lightning Emperor's library, a large piece of white cloth began to shift.

The cloth moved aside, revealing a torso with a head and an arm, floating in the air.

Blood dripped from the left and bottom sides of the torso, forming a pool on the ground.

This was Shang, and he remained silent for a while, pondering what had transpired and his new condition.

The more Shang sacrificed to Entropy, the greater the impact on his Battle-Strength.

While losing his vision was a minor issue compared to losing an arm, the loss of an arm was still less significant than losing both legs.

Shang's entire battle style relied on swift forward movements, powered by his legs.

With the loss of his legs, his acceleration had likely dropped significantly.

Evading attacks would also be much more difficult.

For a Mage, losing their legs wouldn't pose a major problem. Mages typically relied on their minds and Spells for movement, as their physical speed was insufficient for combat.

And now, Shang found himself in the same position.

It was a heavy blow, indeed.

However, Shang only lamented the loss of his legs for a brief moment.

Afterward, he immediately began contemplating ways to develop his power in a manner that didn't rely on his legs.

He had done the same when he lost his left arm.

After creating his last Sword State, the loss of his left arm became inconsequential to his current Battle-Style.

While his current style was built around leg movements, Shang knew he could adapt and develop a new approach.

"You seem calmer than I expected," the Lightning Emperor remarked from behind his desk as he glanced at Shang.
