Sword God in a World of Magic

The four Mages stood in a large hall in front of the gathered leaders of the northern offensive.

"So, to summarize," the blue-haired man, the Peak Mage, said, "the warrior managed to evade all your Spells, caught Esther due to an error in her judgment, and wanted to negotiate with us. But instead of accepting his offer, you followed the law and attacked him. Is that correct?"

There was currently a Truth Verification Spell active, and the Mages were forced to speak the truth.

They nodded.

The blue-haired man furrowed his brows and looked at the table with furrowed brows as he leaned back.

No one spoke anything for ten seconds.

"You followed the law. You may leave," he said.

The four Mages performed a respectful salute and left the hall.

After they left, no one in the hall spoke for a while.

Most of them were looking at the chair Esther had recently occupied.

"I'll take responsibility," the blue-haired man said. "I misjudged the intruder's power and sent a force with inadequate power to handle the situation."

The others didn't disagree.

Yes, every single one of them would have made the same mistake. Half of them would have probably sent an even weaker force after the intruder.

However, they were not the ones that had issued the command.

When something went wrong, it was always the fault of the one that gave the orders.

The blue-haired man looked calm and cold on the surface, but one of his fists was clenched so tightly under the table that blood started to flow out.

Was he an emotionless husk?

Of course not.

He was a human, and just like any other human, he had feelings of comradery and kinship.

He had known Esther for years, and they had worked together for a long time.

The blue-haired man was absolutely furious at Shang, and he hated him with his entire being.

"Strengthen the northern border," the blue-haired man ordered with a calm tone. "If he shows up again, immediately contact me. I will deal with him personally. He can't hide on that mountain forever. At some point, he has to come down from there."
