Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang followed the Treasury Master for several minutes. He wasn't worried about meeting an aggressive Ancestral Beast since the Natural Selection Company gave the gatherer families ways to navigate the wilderness.

The Treasury Master probably knew exactly where all the more powerful beasts were.

Due to the size of Shang's Spirit Sense, he didn't even need to hide from the Treasury Master's Spirit Sense. Shang could simply follow him from 200 kilometers away.

After a couple of minutes, Shang noticed something.

The sensitivity of Shang's Spirit Sense was very high since he couldn't see, and without that sensitivity, Shang wouldn't have noticed it.

There was a small Magic Circle between him and the Treasury Master.

It didn't have a lot of Mana, and it was rather hidden, but it was definitely there.

'A temporary Sense Expansion Magic Circle,' Shang thought.

These kinds of Magic Circles were used to connect one's Spirit Sense to a different spot.

The houses of the gatherer families were surrounded by these kinds of Magic Circles, but theirs were of the permanent kind.

Because of that, the gatherer families could watch around 700 kilometers of their surroundings, giving them enough time to spot an Ancestral Beast and contact an Enforcer.

Of course, thanks to Shang's Shroud, he wouldn't be seen by them.

Mages could infuse these Magic Circles with their Spirit Sense. Their Spirit Sense surrounding their body would shrink while the Spirit Sense around the Magic Circle would grow.

The Treasury Master was probably throwing several of these Magic Circles around and swapping between them to keep watch over a much greater area.

'He's probably worried that an Enforcer is following him.'

The Treasury Master's tactic of throwing Magic Circles out and swapping between them was pretty useful.

These Magic Circles weren't very expensive, and he scattered them behind him and around him.

Eventually, nearly 1,000 kilometers of the surroundings were littered with them, and the Treasury Master was swapping between them.
