Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at the Eternal Spires in awe.

They were so far away, but he could still see them.

This was what every Commander Stage warrior strived towards.

Mining from the Eternal Spire could only be done by the strongest Commander Stage warriors in the world. Without a team of extremely powerful and experienced hunters, it was impossible to survive mining from them.

"Vice-Dean Ranos is a legend amongst warriors," Yiral said emotionlessly, "and the Eternal Spires are the proof of his legacy."

Shang looked at Yiral.

"Vice-Dean Ranos is one of only five warriors in the history of Warrior's Paradise that has managed to mine Eternal Granite solo."

Shang looked at the Eternal Spires.

Solo?

That meant that Vice-Dean Ranos had managed to fight against several Commander Stage beasts at the same time!

One had to remember that beasts became more and more powerful than warriors the more they advanced.

Beasts could keep up with the Mages, while the warriors couldn't.

Could True Mages mine the ore on their own?

Probably, but an average True Mage definitely couldn't.

Vice-Dean Ranos had managed to break the mold and managed to close in on the Mages.

"What about the dean?" Shang asked.

"If the Chief needs money, he mines Eternal Granite," the officer said from behind Shang.

Shang turned around and looked at the officer, who had arrived behind him.

"The Chief is our backbone. If we need a large amount of gold, he is the one that provides it to us."

Then, the officer pointed towards the south.

"That Eternal Spire, the one that looks different from the others," he said.
