Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang thought for a long time about everything that had happened in his life.

He got a couple of ideas, but he wasn't quite sure which one he should pick.

Some of them aimed to combine all of Shang's powers to create a single unified ability, but Shang didn't like that idea.

He felt like there were still many things he could learn, and combining them now might make it difficult to combine powers he will comprehend in the future.

Shang's next thought was about combining his states, but that also wasn't possible since he had already combined all the states he had ever used.

For Shang, this wasn't about finding a way forward. After all, he had already done that so many times that it wasn't a problem anymore.

It was choice.

Choice was the problem.

Shang knew what he could do, but he wasn't sure which Path the best one was for him.

After thinking up several possibilities, Shang decided to resume physical training, and he summoned several Abomination Lords.

For starters, Shang only fought about 15 of them at the same time.

Void Break and Sword Focus made it rather easy for Shang to defend from their attacks. After all, his body was even more powerful and faster than theirs.

If there weren't so many enemies, Shang wouldn't even need to use any finesse or techniques.

Shang only had some problems when he was fighting 20 of them simultaneously, but it only became really troublesome at 25.

Shang decided to push himself and settled for fighting 28 Peak Abomination Lords.
