Sword God in a World of Magic

Ice Princess kept looking at Shang with cold and hate-filled eyes.

'She seems to suspect something,' Shang thought.

Shang would have expected Ice Princess to argue about getting a partner, but her reaction had been a bit too strong.

Either she thought that Shang was supposed to keep watch over her, or she thought that Shang was supposed to kill her.

However, Shang was pretty certain that it wasn't the second possibility.

Ice Princess was too proud of her own power to think that anyone could possibly believe that an Early Archmage could defeat her.

"Fine," Ice Princess said after a while, looking back at the Keeper.

"Good," the Keeper said.

Then, she focused on Shang and transmitted the mission to him.

Target: Traveling Late Archmage.

Description: The target has the appearance of a young woman with greenish-grey hair and a butterfly tattoo on her right cheek.

Reward: Ten Grade Six Mana Crystals.

After inspecting the mission, Shang turned around and left without saying anything.

He didn't even ask anything of the Keeper.

Ice Princess kept eyeing Shang with a venomous glare, but she eventually followed.

The two of them came out of the branch, and Shang used his medals to get past the roots. He didn't want to show Ice Princess that he could just lift the roots.

Shang waited in the front until Ice Princess stepped past him.
