Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang and the Sweeper continued towards the east. All the dangerous areas were now behind them, and the only thing between them and their target was distance.

The Sweeper was amazing at avoiding all kinds of beasts. Even though they had been traveling for over four days by now, not even a single beast had attacked them during all this time.

Even back when Shang had traveled in groups, they had been attacked by several beasts.

But the journey had been very relaxed with the Sweeper. The only problematic part had been the Reality Tear, but Shang had entered that of his own volition, knowing fully well what would await him.

Twelve hours later, the two of them reached their goal.

They had crossed the entire 700,000 kilometers.

"The Sky Lantern's territory is right in front of us," the Sweeper said.

Shang didn't need the Sweeper to tell him that. The surroundings were already saying as much.

A really strong wind had picked up in the surroundings. Normal plants were already nowhere to be seen, replaced by plants that didn't grow upward but in a diagonal manner. If one imagined some high grass being pushed backward by the wind, one could imagine how these plants looked.

Shang guessed that this was the only way the plants could resist such a constant and powerful wind. Luckily, the wind seemed to always move in the same direction.

Shang guessed that the wind was already over 150 kph fast, which would count as a devastating storm on Earth.

Surprisingly, the wind also didn't have the slight green tint of Wind Mana, but it was actually pure white, filled with Light Mana.

It was almost like the wind was actually a continuous wave of light.

"Is there anything I have to do?" Shang asked.

"There isn't much," the Sweeper said. "Compared to the Eternal Maw, the Sky Lantern is very peaceful. It even heals some beasts and even humans sometimes of dangerous ailments."
