Sword God in a World of Magic

Lucin kept explaining a couple of things to Shang regarding the Contender Department as they continued traveling for a couple more minutes.

Eventually, Lucin transformed back into a human and stopped in a seemingly random location.

Shang had taken note of their journey, and he guessed that the two of them were currently near the northern edge of the Lightning Manor's territory, which would also be the northern edge of the continent Aterium.

It had become quite cold by now, and Shang couldn't feel a lot of Light Mana in the surroundings.

He could see dense clouds but compared to the Lightning Sea, there was not much lightning here. The clouds Shang could see were the typical clouds of winter, grey and ever-present.

As for the ground, everything had been covered in a thick sheet of ice and snow.

"Alright, we're here," Lucin said. "Starting from this point, everything here's reserved for the Clouds. The 100,000 kilometers from here to the edge of Aterium is all for the Clouds. This territory is off-limits for Sparks and Boltlings since the existence of the Clouds is kept secret."

"A good number of Bolts know about the Clouds, but they are discouraged from talking about them. Additionally, even the Bolts don't know exactly what a Cloud is and what is required to become one."

"I would also ask you to keep the existence of the Clouds secret, but I don't think that will be a problem for you. You don't seem like a very sociable person."

Shang didn't answer.

"And that's about it," Lucin said. "I told you everything you need to know on the way here. If you need anything, just contact me with your new Communication Crystal."

A moment later, Lucin threw over a new Communication Crystal with an image of a lightning bolt on it.

Shang remained silent for a second.

"That's it?" he asked.

"Yeah," Lucin said. "What more is there to tell?"

"What about an SKP?" Shang asked.

When Lucin heard that, he laughed loudly. "That won't be necessary. SKPs can make problems for your comprehension, which is why Clouds don't need to get an SKP."

"That sounds reckless," Shang commented. "What if someone escapes to another Empire?"
