Sword God in a World of Magic

The Sweeper and Shang went towards the first barrier.

The Sweeper took out a complex medal that looked a bit like the Barrier Disruptors Shang had used before but far better and more advanced.

She put the medal on the barrier and spoke several complex chants.

After a couple of seconds, a hole appeared in the barrier.

And then, she retrieved the advanced Barrier Disruptor.

Yet, the hole stayed open!

This surprised Shang quite a bit.

Usually, Barrier Disruptors had to stay on the barrier because they were responsible for diverting the flow of Mana. By taking them away, the Mana would flow in the way it was supposed to again, closing the hole.

If one wanted to create a permanent hole in the barrier, one would need to completely reprogram the Magic Circle running the barrier, and there were innumerable safeguards against that.

Even though the barrier seemed to be permanently reprogrammed, Shang refused to believe that it actually was.

This had to be something else.

Shang's mind also focused on the Peak High Mage on the ground, standing guard.

There was barely a kilometer between the Peak High Mage and the barrier. They would have felt the slight change of Mana in the atmosphere.

Yet, they didn't.

Everything the Sweeper had been doing just now was far beyond Shang's ability.

"Hurry," the Sweeper transmitted after stepping through the barrier. "It only stays open for five seconds."

Like a white phantom, Shang's body flew forward and passed through the hole in less than a second.

And a couple of seconds later, the barrier shut again.

None of the surveillance Magic Circles were triggered.

Shang's Spirit Sense investigated the small medal the Sweeper had used to get through the barrier.
