Sword God in a World of Magic

"Sir, do you remember the negotiations regarding the warriors?" Wester asked.

"The ones that are happening right now?" the Lightning Emperor asked.

"They ended a couple of years ago," Wester corrected.

"Huh, already? That's fast."

"Sir, we negotiated for 20 years," Wester commented.

"Oh, that much? I guess time flies when you're having fun," the Lightning Emperor added.

"The negotiations have been finished, and we have received the warriors today. There was also the warrior amongst them that effectively created all the other warriors in the Twilight Dusk Family's territories."

"Wait, you're not telling me that he died, right?" the Lightning Emperor asked.

"No, sir, he didn't die," Wester answered without any annoyance audible in his voice. "In fact, he is standing near the throne room right now."

The Lightning Emperor blinked a couple of times in surprise. Then, he looked at the throne room and directly at Shang.

Shang didn't feel any of this.

"Oh, wow," the Lightning Emperor said in surprise. "Yes, I can see why you're here now."

"Goodness, that's faster than I expected. Did I accidentally get distracted for 10,000 years again?"

"No, sir, you didn't," Wester calmly answered.

"I wonder how he managed to get a fivefold Spirit Sense without another Empire helping them. That seems almost impossible. Say, Wester, did we have a hand in that?" the Lightning Emperor said.

"He was already like that when he got here, sir," Wester answered. "I can ask him about how he managed to do that."

"No," the Lightning Emperor said with a voice that hid a bit of excitement. "I hadn't had the chance to use this Spell in a long time. Let me have some fun."

"Of course, sir," Wester answered.

Then, the Lightning Emperor closed his eyes, and his mouth very slowly recited complex words.
