Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang took the Beast Core into his hand and inspected it, ignoring the headless corpse to his right.

'This thing is probably still worth about ten Grade Seven Mana Crystals,' Shang thought. 'That is a hundred times of what I would need to look at a living Beast Lord.'

After a couple of seconds, Shang put the Beast Core down and took out a Communication Crystal.

"The Treasury Master of the Urbring Family hid the skeleton of a dead Beast Lord and its Beast Core. I killed the Treasury Master. The mission is complete," Shang said.

Yes, Shang wouldn't pocket anything.

It was a lot of money, but it was too risky.

The Temple of Blood was too mysterious, and Shang still couldn't tell how they could inspect the surroundings this thoroughly and mark all the beasts.

On top of that, the Territory Lord personally was his Keeper, and this place was still within her Spirit Sense's range. Sure, her Spirit Sense should be isolated by the Yellow Sunbreaker, but Shang wouldn't take any risks.

Lastly, how was he supposed to transform something this valuable into actual disposable income, and how would he explain his newfound wealth?

It didn't need a genius to connect Shang's newfound wealth to this mission.

"Good work," the Keeper answered through the Communication Crystal. "Return to the branch."

A moment later, a new route back to the branch appeared inside Shang's mind.

Then, Shang exited the room and went to the entrance of the cave.

He took out some of the leftover expensive Barrier Disruptors he had purchased to destroy the two gatherer families a couple of years ago.

The Temple of Blood sold them to make it easier for Agents to fulfill their duty. One could call it an investment to make sure that the mission was a success.

A small hole opened in front of Shang, and he used a second Barrier Disruptor to collect the first one.
