Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang looked at the thing that Duke Whirlwind had called a castle.

On the horizon, Shang could see a gigantic, white dome.

It was three kilometers long and nearly two kilometers high. In a way, it looked like a gigantic hill without any vegetation.

And that was supposed to be King Skythunder's castle?

In Shang's mind, having a huge dome as a castle didn't fit King Skythunder at all. After all, King Skythunder had a Wind and Lightning Affinity. Those Affinities were related more to spiky than round things.

As the group continued traveling, Shang kept looking at the dome.

For some reason, it wasn't entirely even.

There were some ridges here and there. On top of that, the ridges didn't seem entirely man-made.

That was when Shang remembered something, and his mind made a connection.

'Wait, could that be?'

"Is this an exoskeleton?" Shang asked.

Duke Whirlwind looked with surprise at Shang.

And then, he smirked. "Quite smart, Shang," he said. "Yes, this is the exoskeleton of the Ancestor Queen."

Shang nodded.

This made a lot of sense!

The Caves below the Storm Eagle Zone had once housed a huge insect tribe, and it had counted as its own Zone, the Ancestor Queen Zone.

The Ancestor Queen had died mysteriously, and King Skythunder had once confirmed the death.

Would they leave such a valuable corpse?

Of course not!

They had retrieved the corpse, and evidently, they had used the Ancestor Queen's carapace as a natural fortress.
