Sword God in a World of Magic

In the next ten years, the effects of the Star Maps started to show results.

The Skythunder Kingdom had received over 30 new High Mages, which was more than they had anticipated.

There had been so many Late and Peak True Mages that had been stuck at comprehending the unique Concept they needed to advance, and when the Star Map appeared, many of these people finally managed to do the jump.

At this moment, the Skythunder Kingdom had around 60 High Mages, which was a shocking number.

Every single encampment near the frontlines was now defended by a High Mage, which had been merely a dream just ten years ago.

Of course, the Grandmountain Kingdom and the Magic Purity Kingdom also had received a burst of new High Mages.

As time passed, the importance of True Mages and Commander Stage warriors only shrunk, but they were still important.

While the High Mages fought, the soldiers fought each other, and if one side won, they could assist their High Mage in the battle.

One True Mage wasn't an issue for a High Mage, but if 20 True Mages suddenly started throwing Spells at the High Mage while they were still dealing with another High Mage, things could turn bad very quickly.

If they evaded with Mana Step, they couldn't create another offensive Spell to deal with the High Mage, and if they didn't evade, the Spells would consume their Mana since they would hit the Mana Shield.

Attacking the forces would also require concentration, time, and Mana, which could prove fatal when another High Mage was attacking them.

One could say that having the support of an army increased the High Mage's power by about 30%.

Of course, if one of the High Mages was clearly stronger than the other, even these 30% wouldn't make a difference, which was why the importance of the True Mages had fallen. They could only help, not win.

But there weren't only new High Mages.

In the last ten years, about 15 new True Path Stage warriors also appeared. Just like with the High Mages, these True Path Stage warriors had been Commander Stage warriors that had been stuck at the later levels of the Commander Stage.
