Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang's right eye narrowed as soon as the Inquisitor asked for a Mind Read.

The entire time, the atmosphere had been somewhat jovial due to Shang's arrogant and joking retelling of the past ten years, but as soon as that question popped up, the entire atmosphere shifted to the opposite.

"Are you serious?" Shang asked with a dark tone.

The Inquisitor was quite shocked by the sudden pressure Shang was exhibiting on him just by getting genuinely upset, but he didn't let it show.

His eyes inspected Shang.

Shang was in the middle of a room inside a fortification guarded by over 30 True Mages. Additionally, even the resident Duke wasn't far away.

On top of that, the Inquisitor had had his Mana Shield active ever since the interrogation started, and lastly, Shang's weapon was placed in a completely different room.

So, even though Shang's mood put a lot of pressure on the Inquisitor, he wasn't scared.

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear," the Inquisitor said in a strict tone.

BANG!

The table between them exploded into pieces as Shang's fist hit it with all his power.

"How dare you?!" Shang shouted with genuine anger. His right eye showed genuine hatred and absolute rage inside it.

The Inquisitor's insides shuddered at the outburst, but he kept his appearance under control.

SHING!

A head appeared in Shang's hand, and he held it in front of him by its long hair.

"Look at that!" Shang shouted. "I killed a Late True Mage, several Early True Mages, took down three Mage Towers, and donated these things to the Skythunder Kingdom!"

"I severely weakened one of the Grandmountain Kingdom's frontlines, and I was so happy to finally be back home that I donated all of that stuff!"

"I fucking did more for the Skythunder Kingdom than the majority of Mages do in their lifetime!"

"I answered questions under a Truth Verification Spell for over six fucking hours!"

"And yet, you want to dig around in my mind?!"

"The Skythunder Kingdom should treat me like a hero, but instead, you're treating me like a traitor!"

BANG!

Shang threw the head of the dead Mage against the wall, and the head exploded into a shower of gore.

"What's the fucking point of giving you fucking disrespectful, heinous, scheming little shits anything if you just treat me like a fucking rat that just shat in your bed?!"

The Inquisitor took a deep breath. He could practically feel Shang's burning hatred and rage in the air.

That anger was so very genuine.

For the past six hours, Shang had joked around arrogantly while retelling everything, but as soon as the Inquisitor had asked for a Mind Read, it was like a switch had been flipped inside Shang.

A deep hatred and anger exploded out of Shang, and the Inquisitor was a bit surprised that Shang still had control over his faculties. He had expected Shang to attack him immediately.

However, all of that made the Inquisitor only more suspicious.

"This is not a question, a request, or a suggestion," the Inquisitor said slowly and coldly.

"This is an order."
