Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang stood in the middle of a crater with several crevices inside it.

He was silently standing in front of a head and a body.

He didn't say anything for several seconds.

"I guess it didn't work."

A person wearing a black cloak stood behind Shang.

This was that one Sweeper that had led Shang to the Sky Lantern back then.

Right now, it was her job to keep an eye on Shang. The Temple of Blood's plan was in its final stages, and they needed Shang to be available whenever they were contacted by the Twilight Dusk Family.

Shang was traveling the world, and to keep an eye on him, they had commissioned the Sweeper that had escorted him back then.

She was supposed to protect Shang from Ancestral Beasts that were too powerful, stop him from walking into dangerous locations, and make sure that he didn't run away for whatever reason.

In short, she was essentially Shang's babysitter or guard.

"No," Shang answered.

"I'm not surprised," the Sweeper said. "You're trying to understand something far beyond your level. It took me over 300 years to learn how to absorb all the Mana in the atmosphere to strengthen my Spells, and I'm an Ancestral Mage."

"It doesn't matter," Shang answered before destroying the headless corpse in front of him.

After that, Shang took to the sky and flew away.

The Sweeper followed after Shang. "Why are you so desperately trying to comprehend Void Casting at this very moment? From what I have seen, something like that would be used to reach the Seventh Realm, not the Sixth Realm."

"Comprehending Void Casting before reaching the Sixth Realm is already basically impossible, and you're not even a Mage."

"You're just wasting your time," she said.
