Sword God in a World of Magic

As soon as the three of them realized that Shang wasn't a Mage, they started to rapidly talk to each other via voice transmissions.

It took several seconds for them to say anything to Shang again.

"So, you're not a Mage, right?" the purple woman asked.

Shang only nodded.

"Then, what are you?"

"You can call me a warrior," Shang said.

"A warrior?" the purple woman on the side repeated with surprise. "You mean like these strange guys from the Development Areas?"

"Similar, yes," Shang said.

Then, the woman raised an eyebrow. "Then, what are you doing here?"

"I'm part of the Contender Department," Shang answered.

"You?" the white and grey man repeated with a disbelieving expression. "You are part of the Contender Department?"

"That's what I just said," Shang answered.

Then, the purple man on the side snorted. "Oh yeah? Then, let's see."

A moment later, he took out a Communication Crystal and pointed it at Shang.

Suddenly, a short burst of light appeared, and Shang felt his Communication Crystal come out of his Space Ring of its own volition. Obviously, Shang wouldn't store something made by extremely powerful Mages in his inner world since he didn't want its existence to be exposed.

The Communication Crystal immediately displayed something to Shang.

"You have been challenged to a life-and-death duel by Cloud Rowan. Do you accept?"

When the three of them saw Shang's Communication Crystal react like that, their eyes widened in surprise.

Clouds could only issue such challenges to other Clouds, which proved that Shang truly was a Cloud.

"Do you actually mean that?" Shang asked Rowan, the purple man.

Rowan snorted in confidence. "Sure, if you're down for it."

"Why?" Shang asked.

"Nothing personal, kid," Rowan said with an arrogant smirk. "It's just that it seems like I have to clean up the Contender Department today. I get that you warriors are becoming stronger and that you guys have quite some momentum, but I think you are overestimating your own powers a little."
