Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang walked towards the border, and the gate opened without anyone questioning him.

As soon as he stepped past the gate, Shang saw several warriors walk over to him while the Mages threw careful glances at him.

Obviously, they felt the threat Shang posed, and they were a bit taken aback that a warrior could give off such a strong pressure.

"Welcome back!" a Late Commander Stage warrior shouted with a laugh.

"I'm home," Shang said with an unchanging expression.

When the warriors saw how dull and emotionless Shang said these words, they lifted an eyebrow in confusion.

Most warriors would have a get-together with the border guards and tell their stories, but Shang obviously didn't seem to be in the mood.

Wasn't he happy being back in the Skythunder Kingdom?

"Everything alright?" the strongest warrior asked with concern.

Shang took a deep breath.

He was glad to be home, but the feelings weren't as strong as he had imagined them to be.

He felt more relief than happiness.

It was like he had finally finished a tiresome task.

He didn't feel any kind of achievement or happiness for a task well done.

"It's been too long," Shang said. "I've been gone for over ten years."

The jaws of several warriors dropped when they heard that.

Ten years at the frontlines of the Spirit Spring Kingdom?!

It was a miracle that Shang was even still alive!

No wonder he looked so tired!

"But it's finally over, right?" the leader asked.

Shang nodded. "It is."

"Was it worth it?" the leader asked, obviously referring to the powerful feeling of pressure Shang gave off.

The leader had to keep his shock in check since he felt like he would be helpless in front of Shang.
