Sword God in a World of Magic

Time passed.

About ten years after getting the worms, Shang had given away the first True Path Stage warrior to the Temple of Blood.

That particular True Path Stage warrior had been a red-haired man named David, and Shang didn't have any use for him in the town.

David wasn't the most hardworking person, and he also didn't care about teaching people.

He was neither fit for becoming outstanding nor for raising new warriors.

Because of that, Shang told the Temple of Blood that they could take him.

That was the first time Shang had actually been paid for bringing a True Path Stage warrior to the Temple of Blood, and the payment was extremely generous.

Ten Grade Six Mana Crystals…

For a True Path Stage warrior!

The usual bonus for recruiting a High Mage was something like three Grade Five Mana Crystals, but Shang had received over 3,000 times as much!

After getting these ten Grade Six Mana Crystals, Shang could finally buy more Mind Flow Pellets, and he did just that.

As Shang sat in his castle, consuming one Mind Flow Pellet after the other, the world of the mortals had completely transformed.

The number of hunters had shot through the roof.

The worm infestation had proven to be a terrifying danger to the weaker humans.

On their own, the worms weren't directly a danger to the mortal district, but just by existing, they were threatening the mortal district.

How?
