Sword God in a World of Magic

"Skythunder Zone?" Shang asked with surprise. "Why is it called as such? Shouldn't it be called after a Zone Beast, or is the Zone Beast called Skythunder?"

"You don't know?" Duke Whirlwind asked with interest.

Then, he smirked. "Then, I won't take the surprise away from you. You will see why it is called the Skythunder Zone."

Shang only lifted an eyebrow, but he didn't answer.

Around two minutes later, the group arrived at the border.

The group of Mages looked at the group, but their eyes showed no emotion.

It was like the group of warriors didn't even exist.

Then, the Mages looked at the Dean.

Some of them snorted while others looked at the Dean with interest.

When the Mages saw Duke Whirlwind, they smiled politely, but their smiles didn't reach their eyes.

This short interaction had already given Shang a good look at how the Mages outside Duke Whirlwind's territory felt about warriors.

Weak warriors were beneath them and basically didn't exist to them, while warriors more powerful than them garnered ridicule.

To them, it was like some lowlife was trying to step onto their level.

They knew that the Dean was more powerful than most of them, but they still looked down on him.

Duke Whirlwind walked over to the Mage with the Focus that had three circlets and talked to him for a bit.

The Mage didn't keep his voice down, and Shang could hear what he said.

"If it were up to me, I would kill this group of trash where they stand," the powerful Mage said with a snort to Duke Whirlwind, "and you along with them, traitor."

The group felt a sting when they heard these words leave the powerful Mage's mouth.

He was talking like the warriors weren't even there.
