Sword God in a World of Magic

30 years after the incident with the Famine, Shang had already sent two other True Path Stage warriors to the Temple of Blood.

By now, there were over 20 True Path Stage warriors in Icy Bastion, and the number of them would only grow higher and higher as more time passed.

Commander Stage warriors could live for 250 years, and there were still many Commander Stage warriors currently alive that would reach the True Path Stage.

Because of that, Shang decided to station a permanent recruiter for the Temple of Blood in this town.

It wasn't easy to convince the True Path Warriors to join the Temple of Blood. After all, the Temple of Blood was too secretive, and many warriors weren't willing to just randomly join some organization they knew nothing about.

So, Shang had ordered David, the red-haired warrior, back to Icy Bastion to recruit some warriors.

And sure enough, in just one month, he had recruited one of Shang's bad Disciples.

When Shang heard about that, he only snorted.

That green-haired warrior was even stupider than most of his Disciples, and he was glad that this Disciple of his was good for something, at least.

With more Mana Crystals, Shang could buy more Mind Flow Pellets.

Another 40 years later, someone reached out to Shang.

It was Duma, his ex-Disciple.

Duma's many children had grown up and had formed their own families. His youngest child was already over 40 years old.

Today, he reached out to Shang because he wanted to leave Icy Bastion.

Alone.

His wife hadn't been nearly as strong as him, which meant that she had eventually died of old age.

After being together with his wife for nearly a hundred years, Duma couldn't remain in this town anymore.

Everything reminded him of his wife.

His children could live on their own, and they were happy. They didn't need him anymore.

He just wanted to leave and go somewhere else.
