Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang took a deep breath when he heard Duke Whirlwind's voice.

If beasts got the chance to take a good look at him, they would attack. Dealing with this issue wasn't hard under normal circumstances, but if a Zone Beast decided that it wanted to kill Shang…

Only death would wait for him.

"I will be careful," Shang said.

Duke Whirlwind nodded and led everyone into the Thunder Horse Zone.

The Thunder Horse Zone was just a huge desert with plenty of sand dunes. Usually, one wouldn't associate a desert with lightning, but Shang quickly saw why this Zone was a desert.

BANG! BANG!

From the clear and bright sky, one lightning bolt after the other hit the ground, throwing small bits of sand everywhere.

There were very few clouds present, and the lightning seemingly came out of thin air. Sometimes, the lightning didn't even come from the sky but just directly appeared in the air before striking the ground.

Surprisingly, the bits of sand didn't seem to mind the lightning. Sure, they were flung around, but they didn't get destroyed or burned.

In comparison to all the other Zones, Shang barely saw any beasts in this one.

"Why are there no beasts?" Shang asked.

"This is one of the rare Zones where nearly all the fighting is done either very high in the sky or below the ground inside different caves and tunnels," Duke Whirlwind explained with a neutral voice. Obviously, after realizing that they would soon meet the Thunder Horse, Duke Whirlwind's good mood had vanished.

Shang looked at the sky, at the few clouds he could see.

The biggest clouds were only two kilometers wide, which really wasn't that big for a cloud, and there were a couple of clouds that were only a hundred meters across. There were even very small clouds, only about ten meters across.

The most numerous clouds were the smaller ones, and there were only three gigantic clouds.

'Duke Whirlwind said that most beasts are fighting in the sky and below the ground. Does that mean…?'

"Are the clouds beasts?" Shang asked.
