Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang and Ice Princess came closer to the target.

At the moment, Ice Princess didn't act in any suspicious way, but Shang knew that it was only a matter of time.

However, even if he was quite sure of his deduction, he still waited for the confirmation.

In the end, the Keeper hadn't told Shang that he was supposed to kill Ice Princess. They might have had an implicit understanding, but such implicit understandings couldn't be trusted. After all, none of them ever verbalized their stance on the matter.

As soon as they reached a distance of about a hundred kilometers from the target, Shang noticed that the target had moved a bit.

While normal Archmages only had Spirit Senses with a range of 50 kilometers, there were still talented Archmages with a greater range. After all, Shang also had a far bigger Spirit Sense. It was logical that there would also be others that could achieve something like that.

Ice Princess was powerful, but Shang didn't think that she had a 100-kilometer-wide Spirit Sense. This probably meant that the target had such a big Spirit Sense.

"Stop," Ice Princess said coldly.

Shang stopped.

"The target should be close. Do your job," Ice Princess said coldly.

Shang's job was to scout out the target and give Ice Princess information on their whereabouts.

Shang didn't turn to Ice Princess. "I've already completed my job," Shang said.

Ice Princess' eyes turned colder.

"My Spirit Sense is greater than yours," Shang said. "I can see our target right now."

"And she can see us," Shang added.

Ice Princess didn't react.

"She is alone, and there are no Magic Circles," Shang said slowly as he slowly turned toward Ice Princess.

"You can attack whenever."
