Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang and Sylvia flew for several minutes in silence.

Sylvia only stood behind Shang with her typical smile on her face, while Shang only looked forward.

Of course, he still kept his vigilance up regarding Sylvia. Mind Reads were extremely difficult to manipulate, and Jerald would have noticed any discrepancies anyway, but Shang still liked to be careful.

He didn't know her, and he wouldn't take any chances.

Of course, Sylvia noticed Shang's senses, but she didn't say anything.

The two of them reached the skies of the Adamantite Behemoth Zone in just a couple of minutes. Right now, they were flying at the height of over ten kilometers, making it incredibly difficult to spot them from the ground.

Then, Shang changed directions and flew towards the northeast, towards the Cloud Serpent Zone.

The beasts in the Thunder Horse Zone were flying high in the sky, and Shang didn't want to get into a battle with one of them.

Of course, as a beast with a Wind Affinity, the Cloud Serpent's Zone was also filled with flying beasts, but there was a difference.

The Cloud Serpent Zone was a humongous gathering of tall mountains, and as long as Shang didn't directly approach them, the chances of getting noticed would be lower. Naturally, there was still some risk, but it wasn't as high as if they had gone through the Thunder Horse Zone.

They entered the Cloud Serpent Zone a couple of minutes later, and Shang avoided all the peaks. Luckily, since they were so high up, the distances between the peaks were massive.

Some beasts noticed them, but they weren't interested in fighting them.

Shang guessed that the beasts had felt Sylvia's Aura, and they had been intimidated by her.

After all, she was a pretty strong Late High Mage, and a High Mage on such a level could fight any beast in the True Path Stage.

Even powerful Peak True Path Stage beasts would most likely lose to her.

This was simply the supremacy that Mages had over beasts.

They continued traveling to the north, and a couple of minutes later, they entered a humongous, brown wasteland.

Shang got reminded of the Wasteland in the Storm Eagle Zone. This Zone looked very similar to that one.

This was the Colossal Worm Zone, the Zone east of the Skythunder Zone.

Shang could see some Soldier and General Stage beasts on the surface, but the truly powerful beasts were underground.

There were nearly no flying beasts in this Zone, and the two didn't get interrupted in their journey.

Some more minutes later, they reached the Zone northwest of the Colossal Worm Zone.

The Pontiff Turtle Zone.

Surprisingly, the Pontiff Turtle Zone was just one gigantic crater with an impossibly bright light at its bottom, bathing the entire Zone in bright light.
