Sword God in a World of Magic

A full day passed, and it was finally time to assault the Deepwater Shark Zone.

The letters hadn't lied about Jerald's plans for attack. He would attack the Zones as described at the described time.

Shortly before 12 pm, Shang took to the skies by flying on Sword.

After some minutes, Shang scanned the entire Deepwater Shark Zone, except for the deep depths of the lake. After all, the Skythunder Kingdom was their enemy, not the beasts. Shang also doubted that the Skythunder Kingdom would have some kind of ambush planned while being at the bottom of a lake. The risk of accidentally having to fight a powerful beast at the bottom was too high.

Even if the beast were killed, everyone outside the lake would notice the battle most likely.

After scanning the entire Deepwater Shark Zone, Shang only saw a single Initial High Mage, and the Mage was just standing in front of the biggest city of the Deepwater Shark Zone with a worried expression.

High up in the air, Shang summoned a Communication Crystal. "Mervin, Perov, there is only a single Initial High Mage stationed in the entire Zone, and she's just waiting in front of the city. I'm unsure of her intentions."

"Affirmative," Perov answered. "My unit will take it from here."

Shang put the Communication Crystal away and simply stayed in the air.

By now, his augmenting Spells had already faded, but he didn't need them right now.

After a while, Shang saw several warriors enter his Spirit Sense. They were charging towards the biggest city while the other warriors swept through the surroundings of the huge lake.

Eventually, the group of warriors and the Mage entered each other's Spirit Sense.

Then, Shang saw the warriors suddenly halt, and he furrowed his brows.

The warriors only stood there and waited.

Obviously, the Mage and the warriors were talking, but Shang couldn't think of any words that would halt the assault of this group of warriors.

After some seconds, Shang saw one of the warriors take out a Communication Crystal.

The warrior looked at the Communication Crystal for a couple of seconds before putting it away again.

Then, everyone continued waiting.

The Mage continued standing in front of the city while the warriors continued standing a couple of kilometers away from her.

Shang had no idea what was going on.

Two minutes passed.

Then, Jerald arrived, and Shang's eyes narrowed.

What could possibly bring Jerald to this place? Just showing up to a battle could create suspicions that he secretly interfered in the battle.

It was very dangerous for Jerald to be here.

While the other warriors waited in the distance, Jerald stepped closer as he took out some form of shining golden crystal.

Shang recognized the crystal since he had used a similar one in the past.

It was a Magic device that allowed Mages to record the surroundings, similar to a camera. Shang had used the crystal back then before he made the Adamantite Behemoth annihilate Duke Mithril's home.
