Sword God in a World of Magic

The Lightning Emperor told Wester a bit more about the old times. Wester wasn't particularly interested, but he still listened intently.

"By the way, where did you get this book from?" the Lightning Emperor asked. "Not even I have an original."

"Someone handed this book to a talented warrior in Area 23," Wester said.

"Oh, I wonder where they got it from," the Lightning Emperor said. "Who gave the warrior this book?"

Wester told everything he had heard from the Starlight Queen to the Lightning Emperor.

The Lightning Emperor knew that the description of that person fit with reality. With his power, it wasn't very hard to discern truth from falsehood.

"Interesting," he said.

Then, the Lightning Emperor closed his eyes for a couple of seconds.

"There are about two Mages that fit the description, but they haven't been to Area 23 in the recent 100 years," the Lightning Emperor said.

In just a mere couple of seconds, the Lightning Emperor had looked through his entire territory and had read everyone's aura. Additionally, he had read the past of the two Mages.

Sadly, this didn't work for finding the Child of Calamity. Maybe if they became more powerful and unleashed their Calamity Affinity, this could become a possibility.

But as it stood now, there were simply too many people to look through.

Yes, he managed to look through everyone, but he only looked at the Ancestral Mages and more powerful, and he only looked at their general auras.

If he wanted to find the Child of Calamity like this, he would need to look through everyone and deeply analyze their Affinities.

The Affinity of the Child of Calamity looked like a Fire, Ice, Darkness, or Light Affinity at a cursory glance.

Only when a powerful Mage looked very closely or administered a bloodline test would they be able to identify the Child of Calamity.

"Do you want me to investigate?" Wester asked.

"No, it's fine," the Lightning Emperor said with a smile. "It's been a long time since the Purge, and I was never a great fan of it. In actuality, I feel quite a bit of regret."

"Wasn't it the Mage God's degree?" Wester asked.

"Well," the Lightning Emperor said slowly. "Kind of, but not really."
