Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang was walking through a brown wasteland filled with extremely tall spires. The wind was incredibly strong. A normal human would have a very hard time walking through this place.

From time to time, Shang could see a couple of other warriors jumping from spire to spire in search of a beast they could hunt.

Several big beasts were flying through the distant sky, and many other beasts were crawling along the spires.

Today was the first time Shang had actually entered the Canyon in the Storm Eagle Zone.

For decades, he had only trained in the depths of the Caves since he had wanted to keep his existence a secret from the Council.

But with the Council gone, Shang could now go wherever he wanted.

The spires around Shang were the Eternal Spires he had seen from a distance during his first Day of Chaos.

They were made of extremely valuable ore, and many of the warriors were also mining from them while their colleagues defended them from the assault of the beasts.

This was an area where only Commander Stage beasts lived, and only the most powerful warriors below the True Path Stage could attempt to mine the ore here.

Several beasts took note of Shang as he slowly walked through the Canyon, but none of the beasts dared to attack him.

Beasts had powerful instincts, and they could feel a terrifying aura of threat coming from Shang.

A couple of warriors also noticed Shang, but they didn't recognize him.

Funnily enough, they only knew Duke Sword with his armor on.

Sadly, Shang's armor had been destroyed by Susan, and Jerald hadn't had the time to create a new one.

Eventually, Shang reached the end of the Canyon.

Only very few warriors had ever stepped past the Canyon. After all, the land beyond this place was filled with True Path Stage beasts.

Only True Path Stage warriors that had formed a team went to this place, and there weren't many of those.

Especially now.

Additionally, the Storm Eagle Zone didn't have many High Mages in it.

This meant that no one was currently in the land beyond the Canyon.

As Shang stepped past the last Eternal Spire, the wind picked up even more.

A normal human would be flung through the sky, but this wasn't an issue for Shang.

His body was several tons heavy, and the little area his body took up wasn't nearly enough for the wind to impact him in any major way.

A couple of minutes later, Shang arrived at a small cliff and looked forward.

For the first time, Shang saw an area that nearly no one had ever seen.
