Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang blasted towards his next target, but on his way there, he contacted Mervin again.

Shang was quite sure that the two Early High Mages wouldn't directly invade the Skythunder Kingdom but split up as soon as they crossed the border and attack the neighboring two borders from behind.

Mervin said that he also suspected that, but he didn't want Shang to be too conspicuous. If they lost a border, it was still fine. However, if Shang kept going from border to border in one straight line, the Magic Purity Kingdom would know where he would strike next and stage an ambush.

Without his Augmenting Spells, Shang might die if two Mid High Mages assaulted him at once.

After listening to Mervin, Shang shared a plan he had with him.

Mervin wasn't the biggest fan of the plan.

It was a risk, but it could pay off in a big way.

"Well, you're a Duke now, which means I technically have to listen to your orders," Mervin said with a slight chuckle. "If you want to do it, sure."

"Thanks, Mervin," Shang answered.

Shang hadn't stopped blasting through the sky as he talked with Mervin.

In the Peak Commander Stage, Shang hadn't been able to blast through the sky without pause, but everything changed as soon as he entered the True Path Stage.

His body had been reforged with his Path, which included his Ice and Fire Affinity.

The strain on his body wasn't nearly as much as it had been back then, which meant that Shang could blast through the air indefinitely.

This method of flying was also faster and less draining than the Weapon Flying Technique.

30 seconds later, Shang arrived at one frontline in the middle of the north.

No one had attacked yet.

Shang's wide Spirit Sense inspected the border of the Magic Purity Kingdom.

Two Initial High Mages.

The border of the Skythunder Kingdom was defended by an Early High Mage, which meant that the Magic Purity Kingdom probably didn't intend to attack this one.

Shang could decimate the Magic Purity Kingdom's border, but that would move the Magic Purity Kingdom to attack with even more ferocity, which was not something the current Skythunder Kingdom wanted.

So, Shang just continued to the next one.

Half a minute later, he arrived at the next one.

The Mages of the Magic Purity Kingdom were currently gathering and preparing for an assault.
