Sword God in a World of Magic

The little True Mage was a bit confused.

She didn't know a lot about the Town Lord. Sure, the Town Lord had basically been a god to her a couple of weeks ago, but the person that had come to take her to the Twilight Dusk Family said that the Town Lord was weak and couldn't compare to the Twilight Dusk Family.

But now, that Ancestral Mage asked the Town Lord why he hadn't joined?

"I didn't notice it previously," the Ancestral Mage said, "but you also have a Twilight Affinity. However, you are not a weak person, and you definitely already know about the Twilight Dusk Family. So, why didn't you join?"

"Because I'm not a Mage," Shang answered evenly.

Silence.

The young Mage only looked at the Ancestral Mage in confusion.

Why was the Ancestral Mage so quiet, and why had her eyes widened?

Hadn't she ever seen a warrior before?

"What?" the Ancestral Mage asked after several seconds.

"I'm not a Mage," Shang repeated. "I'm a warrior."

"A warrior?" the Ancestral Mage said. "You mean like these weak mortals that fight with swords and spears?"

"Correct," Shang answered.

"But you're…" the Ancestral Mage said before trailing off as she focused on Shang. "You're too strong for someone that isn't a Mage. Secondary Paths don't become that powerful."

"I'm the only one of my kind as far as I know," Shang said.

This surprised the young Mage, and she looked at Shang in a new light.

Didn't that mean that the Town Lord was the strongest warrior in the world?

Ancestral Mage furrowed her brows and fell
