Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang traveled across the Storm Eagle Zone, the Ice Wyvern Zone, and the Empress Cobra Zone while checking up on his connection to the Abominations.

Had he lied when he had said that he could redirect Abominations to appear somewhere else?

No.

Over the past two years, Shang had noticed that some Abominations, connected to specific Zones where he had been, had felt unruly, which meant that they would soon appear.

If they didn't receive a command, they would just appear as normal, but if Shang gave them a command, he could make them appear somewhere else.

Sadly, he couldn't stop them from appearing entirely. He could only tweak their destination.

Of course, the Abominations actually weren't intending to come to these couple of Zones in the next couple of weeks.

But that didn't matter.

Shang would summon them regardless.

After checking through the Zones, Shang noticed that none of the Abominations were planning on coming, which was a good thing. After all, he had told Duke Whirlwind that he had a kind of deterring effect on them.

Wouldn't it be suspicious if Shang said that some Abominations were about to appear, redirect them, and then a new wave would appear just a week later in the Zones where Shang was supposed to be?

Because of that, Shang had to inspect the Abominations.

His plan would have worked either way.

If the Abominations weren't interested in coming, Shang would summon them.

If they were interested in coming, Shang would redirect them.

After checking through all the Zones, Shang contacted Duke Whirlwind again.

"I think they will appear tomorrow at around noon. I can't be entirely sure about the time, but I shouldn't be off by more than half an hour."

"Understood," Duke Whirlwind said through the Communication Crystal. "I will get Duke Mithril to leave for a couple of hours."
