Sword God in a World of Magic

A frozen, bloody human body was lying in the middle of the branch, white mist slowly leaving the corpse's opened mouth.

Shang's Spirit Sense enveloped the corpse and realized…

This wasn't a corpse.

The person was actually still alive.

They were just in a lot of pain and couldn't move due to their body being frozen.

Shang also knew the identity of the "corpse", and he wasn't surprised in the least.

It was Spike Ball.

"That was me. He told me to run back to my mommy."

Shang's head turned to the person that had just spoken.

It was a young man with a bright smile and fiery red hair.

Shang also knew that person.

He was one of the newer Named Agents, only having been part of this branch for about 20 years.

He was an Early Archmage with a Fire Affinity. He enjoyed talking with others and telling stories. In a way, he was quite charismatic and would remind someone of the dead Desert Storm.

However, compared to the dead Desert Storm, this guy actually had a huge issue.

He was a pathological liar.

He lied about nearly everything for no reason whatsoever.

His codename was Fire Pillar, and he specialized in killing large groups.

If Fire Pillar were more powerful, he would have probably received the missions to get rid of the two gatherer families instead of Shang about four years ago.

Shang obviously didn't believe Fire Pillar when he said that he was the one that had frozen Spike Ball.

He already had a pretty good guess based on the fact that Fire Pillar was now here.

Ice Princess.

Ice Princess was probably done with earning money and wanted to focus on her training.

She probably wanted to enter Training Room One, but when she saw Spike Ball reserving it without using it, she got a slight bit irritated.
