Sword God in a World of Magic

"Well done!" Callen said with a wide and pride-filled smile. "You made tremendous strides, and I think you can manage everything on your own now."

Shang nodded. For once, he was also smiling.

"To think that you managed to master my Spell in only ten weeks. I'm genuinely shocked. Originally, I thought we would be here for ten months to two years," Callen said.

"Thank you, Callen," Shang said.

"This is not thanks to me. This is all you, Shang," Callen said.

Callen had stopped calling Shang Duke Sword a couple of weeks ago when Shang got annoyed by it.

Shang had already given Callen ten True Path Stage beast corpses.

Callen said that they had come to an agreement that he would only get five, but Shang said that he had offered him ten after he had offered five, so it was ten.

Callen felt bad that Shang was giving him so many corpses, but Shang just kept saying that this was the agreement.

Eventually, Shang left.

The past ten weeks had been fun but also stressful for Shang.

He had come to know Callen very well, and they had talked a lot.

Yet, as Shang was flying away from Callen's place, he could only release a sigh.

Once again, he had gotten a taste of the very thing he couldn't have.

'True Mages only live for about 250 years, and Callen will most likely not make it to the High Mage Realm. Additionally, he's already quite old. I think he's already over 180 years old.'

'In less than 70 years, he will die.'
