Sword God in a World of Magic

Swamp Lake City was the biggest city in the Empress Cobra Zone.

There was already a heavy cloud of fear above the city since the war between the Skythunder Kingdom and the Storm Eagle Zone started today, but the citizens were somewhat confident that the forces of the Skythunder Kingdom would stop the traitorous Duke Whirlwind.

There were three High Mages inside the city today just to make sure that no leftover warriors from the Storm Eagle Zone damaged the city.

Of course, the High Mages weren't very powerful. There was one Early High Mage and two Initial High Mages. One had to remember that the force that had attacked the Storm Eagle Zone represented some of the most powerful High Mages in the entire Kingdom. A mere defensive force of a random city couldn't compare, even if the force had been strengthened.

The High Mages were talking to each other via their Spirit Senses, and they were making bets on how long the Storm Eagle Zone could hold out.

These Mages were used to dangerous situations, and this bit of danger today wasn't something that fazed them.

Suddenly, all the Mages looked at the sky, and their eyes widened in terror.

Just now, they had felt over 20 True Path Stage warriors falling toward the city at incredible speeds!

They almost couldn't believe what they saw with their Spirit Senses!

The Mages immediately communicated with each other.

What were they supposed to do?!

They could deal with some warriors, but not with over 20!

In just an instant, there were three different opinions from three different Mages.

Flee!

Surrender!

Fight to the death!

The Mages immediately fell into a heated argument. Luckily, communication via Spirit Sense was several times faster than communicating with words.

"I don't care what you decide! I'm outta here!"

And then, the only Early High Mage fled towards the north.

Since the Mages could see the warriors, the warriors could also see the Mages, and they saw that one of them had fled.

Over ten of the warriors stepped on their weapons again. Until now, they had been in a freefall.

Their weapons used the force of the fall and redirected it towards the side, making them shoot after the Mage.
