Sword God in a World of Magic

Jerald told the Head of the Council what had happened with the Governor except for one small detail.

In Jerald's retelling of the story, the Governor just died too quickly. Jerald simply hadn't anticipated for him to die with only one Spell.

Obviously, the Head of the Council knew that this was bullshit, but the only other person that had witnessed what had happened was Shang, and she knew that Shang would have Jerald's back. The other people had been blinded by the light of the Spells, and they could barely tell what had happened since everything had happened so quickly.

Even more, the Governor had used a voice transmission to surrender since it was faster.

So, there was nothing the Head of the Council could do about this incident.

She simply had to accept that the Governor was now dead.

But that was still a good thing.

It was rare for a High Mage to die in the war, but it was even rarer for an actual Governor or Duke to die.

Governors and Dukes were usually at the Mid High Mage Realm, while the weaker ones led the offense and defense in the war.

The Duke of this area had been the newest member of the Dukes since he had been exceptionally talented.

He had been able to fight Early High Mages while still being an Initial High Mage.

Additionally, there weren't enough Mid High Mages for all the Zones, which was why he had gotten the position.

The Head of the Council looked at the corpse of Duke Quake with furrowed brows.

Sadly, this shining light had now vanished.

"What led to this incident?" the Head of the Council asked.

"I wasn't present for the entire thing. You should ask Shang," Jerald said, gesturing to Shang.

The Head of the Council threw a cold glance at Shang.

Then, she looked toward the Peak True Mage, that had just talked to Shang a minute ago. "Commander, report!"

Jerald only bitterly smiled while Shang's expression didn't change.
