As the tiger charged at Shang again, more metal appeared around his head.
But this time, the tiger couldn't fully envelop his head in metal.
When Shang saw that, his eyes shone.
The tiger's metal wasn't doing much for Sword at this point. After all, Sword was forged with Late General Stage metals. Even though this tiger was powerful, it was only at the Early General Stage.
But Shang had never aimed to strengthen his sword.
He had absorbed the metal with it to exhaust the tiger's Mana, and now, it was showing its effect.
The tiger tried to hit Shang again, but this time, it couldn't muster the Mana to elongate its claws.
Shang struck the tiger's forearm with his sword.
BANG!
The metal around the tiger's forearm cracked, but without any of Shang's Affinities as help, his sword didn't manage to injure the tiger.
But that was already enough.
