Sword God in a World of Magic

The three of them looked with shock at Shang for quite some time.

The other two looked at her with a bit of confusion.

Cindy snorted. "But that doesn't change anything. Power is power, and we are Mages while you are a warrior."

"What's the point of accepting all our duels when you are going to die to Erel anyway?"

The two others calmed down as well and looked at Shang with a mix of pity and disdain.
