Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at the grand gates for a while.

Then, he took a deep breath and walked towards them.

As Shang came closer, he saw someone sitting right beside the gate. It was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties.

What was he doing?

Sleeping.

He was sitting on a chair, and his entire body was just lazily splayed on the chair.

Was this the nightshift William was talking about?

Shang looked at the sleeping person for a while with a complex expression.

For some reason, this person didn't feel dangerous to him.

However, Shang was certain that he couldn't trust his perception in this case. After all, this person was guarding the gates alone.

Shang stopped a couple of meters away from the sleeping person with an awkward expression.

Should he wake him?

Well, he was supposed to be working.

"Excuse me," Shang said quietly.

The person didn't react.

"Excuse me," Shang said again as he stepped closer.

The person still didn't react.

Shang looked around at the dark city. He didn't want to wake the sleeping residents, so he couldn't just shout.

Shang scratched his chin. That guy was probably a powerful warrior, and if Shang just stepped forward, the guy might be startled awake. Who knew what the guy would do when startled? The reflexes of a warrior were dangerous.

Then, Shang got an idea.

He stopped a couple of meters away.

Then, he slightly moved his sword before moving it back into its original place.

The person didn't react.

"Are you awake now?" Shang asked.

Shang saw the chest of the person expand as he took a deep breath. Then, he slowly sat up in his chair with a groan as he ruffled his hair.

"That was smart, boy," the man said with some annoyance.

"You were awake the entire time, right?" Shang asked.

The man sighed. "Yeah. Heard you since you walked closer. Simply didn't want to deal with you."

"Sorry, but it can't wait until tomorrow," Shang said.

The guard let out another annoyed sigh as he stood up. "Thanks to you, I'm fully awake now. Thanks a lot," he said sarcastically.

"I had to get your attention some way," Shang answered.

What was the man talking about?

Well, a seasoned warrior had a terrifying perception and terrifying reflexes. Someone talking to them or someone walking around might not wake them, but the silent sound of a moving weapon definitely would get their attention.

Their mind would immediately go into full alert as soon as they heard that silent and deadly sound.

"What do you want?" the man asked with annoyance.
