Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang traveled through multiple Zones within the day. Most of them were unfamiliar to him, but the constant presence of the warriors and Mages gave him a feeling of security and familiarity.

He was in the Skythunder Kingdom.

He didn't need to hide any longer.

Eventually, Shang reached a wasteland without any vegetation. It was filled with hills and pieces of dried rock.

After counting the Zones he had gone through, Shang was quite certain in which Zone he had arrived.

The Colossal Worm Zone, the Zone east of the Skythunder Zone.

Shang traversed it without any issues. This was Zone for Earth Affinity beasts, and the powerful ones were below the ground.

Any beast above ground was no threat to Shang in this Zone.

It was late in the evening when Shang reached the southwestern border of the Colossal Worm Zone.

In front of Shang was a desert with tons of lightning striking down.

Shang knew all too well where he was.

He had been here before.

Shang entered the Thunder Horse Zone and traveled towards the south.

After just a couple of minutes, Shang reached the border to the next Zone and began to run down the massive slope.

Luckily, the Thunder Horse hadn't come to visit him.

It was the Adamantite Behemoth Zone, and Shang could see Duke Mithril's castle from where he was currently.

'I haven't forgotten the bounty you put on my head,' Shang thought.

'It might take a couple of decades, but I will eventually pay you back for the bounty.'

Shang avoided the middle of the Zone and ran alongside its edges until he reached the southern border.

It was already quite dark, but as soon as Shang reached the border, it became pitch black.

The surroundings were filled with Darkness and Water Mana, and a normal human would have issues seeing their own hand in front of them.
