Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang didn't show any reaction for a while, but he knew that he actually didn't have a choice.

Even if he were to use Entropy, he would probably need to sacrifice his entire body just to injure the Territory Lord.

She was right.

The gap in power was just too big, and Shang didn't have any choice.

The Rune for the SKP floated over, and Shang put it into his mind.

And then, he took it out again and handed it back to the Territory Lord, but this time, the Rune was grey and filled with Mana.

To Shang, it felt like just a moment had passed, but they had actually been talking for a long time just now.

The Territory Lord inspected the grey Rune for a while before destroying it.

"So, what happens now?" Shang asked.

"I'm not sure," the Territory Lord said. "You've told me about several things that complicate matters. The fact that you know a way for True Path Stage warriors to reach the Impose Realm, as you called it, is already worth a lot."

"We've already talked about how weak physis are. The concept of a True Path Stage warrior doesn't even exist. They have literally only existed in Area 23, and I wouldn't even know about them if you hadn't told me just now."

"While True Path Stage warriors are not that useful, they represent a possible expansion for the Temple of Blood. Due to their different sets of powers, they might be more suitable for certain missions than Mages."

"However, that also represents a huge investment and expenditure for the Temple of Blood, and that's not something I can decide whether to implement or not."

"But then, there's also your problem with the Lightning Manor," the Territory Lord added.

I even told her about that, huh?'
