Sword God in a World of Magic

Professor Callen first performed a couple of tests to see how good Shang's spellcasting was.

It couldn't be that bad, right?

It was, in fact, that bad.

Callen had expected that even warriors knew the basics at least, but he was mistaken.

Shang's spellcasting ability could dominate a Mid Apprentice, but a Peak Apprentice would easily outclass him.

Callen only took a deep breath and slowly released it.

This would be a lot of work.

While Shang was learning under Callen, Jerald returned from the western Skythunder Kingdom.

90% of the citizens had evacuated, while the remaining 10% had decided to stay. They refused to believe that the Magic Purity Kingdom would kill them. After all, they were just normal citizens, apprentices, and a couple of Adepts.

For a couple of days, nothing happened. After all, the Magic Purity Kingdom didn't expect the western front to be completely without any defense.

Two days after Jerald left, one of the frontlines of the Magic Purity Kingdom attacked the border of the Skythunder Kingdom.

Yet, there was nothing to attack.

They only saw empty walls and buildings.

The attacking force immediately grew suspicious and prepared for an ambush.

But nothing happened.

After a while, the force sent out a couple of True Mages to scout the surroundings.

Surprisingly, the Mages didn't face any resistance, and they were even welcomed by several villagers throwing themselves before the Mages' feet in obedience.

One of the Mages decided to read the minds of a random villager, and what he saw shocked him.
