Sword God in a World of Magic

The announcement of Sylvia Eternalfrost joining Jerald's side raised several eyebrows and evoked skepticism from all the warriors.

Hadn't Duke Whirlwind promised that he would get rid of the Council?

Had their trust been misplaced in him?

Luckily, Jerald's next words cleared up a big part of the issue.

He said that Sylvia had allowed him to read her mind, and he had seen with his own eyes how every other Council member had supported the suppression of the warriors.

He promised everyone that Sylvia would be the only member of the Council that would stay alive.

He would kill everyone else.

Obviously, another important part was that Sylvia had voted against assassinating George and Mattheo when the Council had voted on it.

She truly hadn't supported these decisions.

Sadly, one person only represented 20% of the main Council, and she was outvoted four to one.

After talking with all the warriors, Jerald went back to Shang to talk to him.

"I have learned some interesting things by going through Sylvia's memories," Jerald said.

"I'm listening," Shang answered.

"The fact that Susan wants to reach the Archmage Realm has been a lie, which has been transformed into the truth, and then transformed back into a lie again."

Shang raised an eyebrow.

"The Council is far worse off than we expected," Jerald said with a small smirk.

"The Council might have made some dumb decisions in the past, but they are not actually stupid. Their power had simply gone to their head."
