Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang's heart began to race when he heard that question.

What was up with that question?!

Why would Lucin suddenly ask about his Affinity right after they talked to Queen Primordium and the Custodian?!

Something strange had to be going on!

Shang felt a pressure build up in his chest, and he felt like the Lightning Manor was no longer safe for him.

What kind of game were they playing?!

"Why are you suddenly asking that question?" Shang asked with a cold voice.

"I heard two conflicting statements. The Supervisor of Area 23 says you have a Temperature Affinity, but I've also heard you have a Twilight Affinity. So, which is it?"

Shang felt like the surroundings were pressing down on him.

This was bad!

Did Lucin know that Shang was the Child of Calamity?!

Why else would he ask that question?!

"I have a Twilight Affinity," Shang answered. "Darkness and Light Affinities were special in Area 23, and I didn't want to be killed by the powerful Mages. Because of that, I used Fire and Ice as a mask. Fire is bright, and Ice absorbs the warmth like Darkness."

"Oh? Interesting," Lucin said with an amused voice.

Shang focused on the lightning bolt that was Lucin beside him.

Something was definitely wrong!

Lucin was talking like he was taking joy in knowing about something that he shouldn't.

"Why did you ask?" Shang asked coldly.

Lucin remained silent for about a second.

"I mean, I need to know what kind of Affinity you have. I will need to approve a mountain of resources for you, and it's also my job to make sure that these resources are actually useful for you. You will gain a lot of resources, but you can't just waste resources because of that, get it?"

Shang wasn't sure if that was a lie or not.
