Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang kept his mask on. By now, he was also wearing a thick, black cloak made of animal fur. In a way, he looked very similar to the time he had exited from Duke Whirlwind's garden.

But these two Shangs couldn't be any more different.

A couple of minutes later, Shang arrived at the border of the Storm Eagle Zone.

He hadn't seen any other person on his way here.

For the first time in over a decade, Shang could see the Farm Line and the Wild Forest again.

Shang's Darkness Vision showed him plenty of scouts keeping watch over the roads, and he could also see many weak beasts inside the Wild Forest. He even saw a couple of Pest Cats.

Shang would have never thought that seeing Pest Cats would make him feel nostalgia.

Scenes of when Shang had just arrived here shot through his mind.

The scout that had welcomed him.

The Farm Dogs.

His first look at Warrior's Paradise.

His run-in with Teacher Loran.

After that, all the people he had met in the warrior's academy shot through his mind.

Soran, Ranos, Mervin, the Dean, Elver, Sarah, Astor, Mattheo…

There were a lot of people.

'I wonder how they are doing right now.'

'Well, now that I'm back, I can check up on them whenever I want.'

'But first…'

Shang's gaze moved slightly towards the south.

Many kilometers away, Shang could see the tops of a couple of green towers.

'Let's get everything sorted out first.'

Shang surrounded himself with a coat of Darkness Mana, which seemingly blended in with the surroundings.

His years of training his Affinity had made it possible to create something like this.

It wasn't very effective against True Mages, but Adepts and General Stage warriors wouldn't be able to see him with the coat of Darkness Mana during the night.

Shang left the path and entered the Wild Forest.

None of the beasts noticed the black shadow shooting through their forest.
