Sword God in a World of Magic

The scout pointed towards the front, and Shang's eyes followed that direction.

It was already pretty dark outside, making it hard to see very far, but with Shang's improved vision and the lights inside the city, it wasn't very difficult to see it.

In the distance, Shang could see a gigantic fortress.

The walls were probably over 50 meters high, and Shang could see several towers with an even more imposing height. The walls and the towers were nearly invisible in the dead of night, and Shang guessed that they were probably dark grey or black in color.

Gigantic bonfires raged on top of every tower, illuminating the entire city.

It was absolutely massive!

Shang guessed that the city was several kilometers wide.

However, all of that wasn't the most surprising and shocking part.

The most surprising part was the location of Warrior's Paradise.

Earlier, Shang and the scout had already been walking on a road that seemingly rose into the air. The road was like the track of a rollercoaster, slowly extending further and further upward with nothing of similar height beside it.

If Shang walked to the side, he would be able to see the border between the Wild Forest and the Wasteland. While the road kept extending upward, the Wasteland kept going downward, expanding the difference in elevation between it and the road.

So, with a lonely road slowly extending towards the sky, where was Warrior's Paradise?

Warrior's Paradise stood on one lonely, gigantic rock.

The walls perfectly aligned with the edges of the rock, making it seem like the walls were part of the gigantic rock.

Shang looked around, but he couldn't see any other similar rocks around.

This singular rock extended upward from the Wasteland for probably over two kilometers!

Warrior's Paradise was like these ancient, European castles that had been built on the precipice of a cliff. However, in comparison to these castles, Warrior's Paradise was an actual city.

Their sizes couldn't be compared.

A black, burning, solitary fortress that overlooked seemingly the entire world.
