Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next couple of years, everything went as planned.

Nearly half of the Commander Stage warriors had comprehended the Star Map by now. It had, by all intents and purposes, become standard and normal to train with the Star Map.

Of course, the Mages had also received their Star Map.

With both Star Maps introduced, the political climate completely changed.

The war between the Kingdoms nearly completely stopped as everyone was busy interacting with the Star Map.

This would change the entire world, and they knew it.

The one that could make use of the Star Map the best would have an overwhelming advantage over all the other Kingdoms.

It was an arms race.

The Kingdoms took out their saved-up resources and pumped them all into talented True Mages. The more High Mages they got, the better.

One High Mage could take down a normal frontline on their own. One High Mage was worth more than 50 True Mages.

Originally, the Dukes feared that the other Kingdoms would now start to focus on creating warriors. After all, the warriors had also received their own Star Map.

However, with the introduction of the Mages' Star Map, the warriors became even less relevant. All the Kingdoms fully focused on their Mages now, and warriors were mostly ignored.

Even the Grandmountain Kingdom began to ignore their barbarians. What was the point of having a thousand Fighter Stage Barbarians when they could get more High Mages? The only thing the barbarians were useful for was to act as cannon fodder and delay the enemy attacks.

But a High Mage could win the entire battle.

One was fighting not to lose, while the other was fighting to win.

The Council also didn't have much time to go against Duke Whirlwind. They were too busy with increasing the efficiency of training for the future High Mages.

Of course, they were still planning on dealing with Duke Whirlwind, but the High Mages took priority right now.

The warriors were definitely a danger to the Mages, but there was a much greater danger.
