Sword God in a World of Magic

After having met everyone, Shang retreated to the big castle in the middle of the town.

This would be his home for the foreseeable future.

'I need to give the residents some time to get used to me,' Shang thought. 'At the moment, they are still uncertain about my power, and if I implement all the changes I have planned now, many of them will leave.'

For the next couple of hours, Shang only remained on standby. There wasn't much he had to do as the Town Lord. Most of the town ran all on its own, and he only needed to get involved if it was time to use the Pathfinder Magic Circle or if there was a beast.

"There's a Peak High Beast approaching the town," Shang transmitted to the two guards in front of the town.

The two guards looked at each other with surprise.

The Surveillance Magic Circle didn't show any reactions.

Surveillance Magic Circles had several ways in which they operated.

Funnily enough, finding an Ancestral Beast was easier than finding an Archbeast for them. The reason was the sheer amount of Mana the Ancestral Beasts gave off.

Of course, the sensitivity of the Magic Circle could be increased, but it would also consume more Mana Crystals.

The setting the town's Magic Circle worked on would find a Peak High Beast if it entered a 100-kilometer radius of the town.

An Archbeast would be found within 250 kilometers.

An Ancestral Beast would be found within 1,500 kilometers.

The fact that the Surveillance Magic Circle didn't pick up the beast meant that it was over 100 kilometers away.

But their Town Lord found it already?

The guards had heard of Mages whose Spirit Sense was larger than normal, but all of these Mages were extremely outstanding and rare.

And their new Town Lord was one of these powerful people, even though he wasn't even a Mage?

"Should we deal with it, sir?" one of the guards asked.
