Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slowly walked back to the Skythunder Kingdom as one soldier after the other charged past him toward the Grandmountain Kingdom.

'I've got quite some good gains from this excursion,' Shang thought as he continued walking.

'I know how powerful the weakest High Mages are now, and I could test several of my new techniques.'

'I even managed to severely damage the High Mage's shield, although that was luck. She just so happened to arrive in front of me of her own volition, and I just so happened to be above her.'

'In a normal fight, she would just keep her distance with Mana Step and slowly kill me from afar.'

'Right now, my speed isn't fast enough to truly keep up with a High Mage. I guess I need to reach the Peak Commander Stage first before I can try.'

Shang glanced at Sword, who was much smaller than before the attack. 'Luckily, I have a lot of money. With all the beasts and Foci I gathered, I don't need to care about this bit of ore.'

"How's the Entropy looking?" Shang asked Sword with a voice transmission.

"No problem," Sword answered. "I don't need more right now."

Shang nodded. "How was the pain?"

He still remembered that Sword had also been injured quite a bit.

"I don't like it, but I have to get used to it," Sword answered.

"Sorry about that," Shang said.

"There is nothing to be sorry about," Sword answered. "Power requires pain."

Shang smiled a bit.

He could empathize with Sword a lot.

They were very similar.

After a couple of minutes, Shang reached the outpost of the Skythunder Kingdom.

There were definitely far fewer people here than before.

Shang walked through the gates without being stopped, while many eyes looked at him with shock.

This madman actually survived!

They had all seen the distant black clouds. Such black clouds couldn't be created by a Mage Tower, and they represented a vast burning area.

This meant that something really big and flammable was burning, which could only be the enemy frontline.

Additionally, their Duke had already told them to get ready for battle, basically confirming that Shang had severely weakened the enemy.

All of this was basically unbelievable to everyone present.

Only a High Mage could pull something like that off.
