The Mage pulled Shang along at a speed equivalent to Shang's Stage. Apparently, she knew exactly how fast a barbarian could move at that level.

Surprisingly, it was quite a bit faster than a Peak General Stage warrior could run, but it didn't reach Shang's limit.

He could still run about half a level faster without many problems.

'This probably means that the Procedure has a greater increase of power than whatever the barbarians use to increase their strength.'

They jumped from one spire to the next, and the Mage kept glancing at Shang.

She wanted to force Shang to move at his limit, but even with this incredibly heavy weapon, Shang was still keeping up.

'Even though he is annoying, I can't deny that his talent is outstanding,' she thought.

However, that thought only annoyed her.

By now, she didn't doubt Shang's origins anymore. Someone with such a powerful body at this level had to be born in the Grandmountain Kingdom.

After a couple of minutes, the two of them reached a gigantic canyon. The cliffs on either side were over a kilometer high, and the roads were barely 20 meters wide.

Shang didn't feel any specific kind of Elemental Mana, but he knew what kind of Zone this was regardless.

'A Zone with a Zone Beast that has an Earth Affinity. The Mage also has an Earth Affinity. I guess she is either a very high figure in this territory or the ruler.'

Right now, Shang still wasn't sure if the Mage was a powerful True Mage or a High Mage.

The two of them kept running through the area, and Shang kept glancing at his surroundings inconspicuously.

"Why are you missing an eye?"

This question suddenly came from the Mage, and her tone sounded annoyed.

"I killed a beast with black scales that looked similar to a worm," Shang said. "It destroyed my left eye, and I can't regrow it."

The speed of the Mage slowed down until she eventually stopped.

Then, she looked at Shang with burning eyes.

"Where and when?" she asked.

"Long ago," Shang said. "It was near my home."

"When specifically?" she asked with narrowed eyes.
