Sword God in a World of Magic

About three weeks after the Abyss Worms had been moved to Icy Bastion, the first Ancestral Beast appeared near the town.

Of course, the town noticed the Ancestral Beast when it was over a thousand kilometers away, and it would take a bit for the Ancestral Beast to get closer.

Usually, due to an Ancestral Beast's speed, Shang had always called for the Security Agency as soon as an Ancestral Beast was found by the Surveillance Magic Circle. If an Ancestral Beast directly traveled towards the town, it would only need something like ten seconds to reach the town from over 500 kilometers away, which might just be barely enough for the Security Agency.

But now, Shang could let the Ancestral Beast come closer without having to call the Security Agency.

The Surveillance Magic Circle also kept track of a beast's power, and this one was only an Early Ancestral Beast.

The Magic Circles of Icy Bastion had changed, and instead of going completely into lockdown, the town simply gave off a yellow warning light when an Ancestral Beast was found.

This warning light would signify that the town would soon enter a short state of lockdown.

Some of the more interested High Mages looked at the map and saw the beast around 1,200 kilometers to the north.

Over the next couple of seconds, they saw the dot on the map move around aimlessly. Obviously, it hadn't found the town yet.

But it found something else pretty quickly.

The Abyss Worms' territory.

As soon as the beast took note of the territory, it started to travel towards Icy Bastion's direction with quite a lot of speed.

When it was just 600 kilometers away, Shang locked down the town.

The barrier isolated everything, not allowing anything to pass through.

And when the beast reached a distance of 500 kilometers, things rapidly changed.
