Sword God in a World of Magic

Just like the last time Shang had seen her, she had silver hair and wore casual purple robes, which Shang now recognized as the standard uniform for members of the Lightning Manor. Naturally, people of higher ranks didn't need to wear them, but Sparks were often encouraged to.

"Sarah, the Starlight Queen," Queen Primordium said. "She's the youngest member amongst our Mage Kings, but she has already overtaken two others. Although, that isn't very difficult."

"She focuses mostly on Lightning and Space for now, but she is already planning on branching out and comprehending more. I think she has quite a lot of talent, and when Wester and I eventually leave, she will probably become the strongest Mage King amongst us."

"She is very duty-oriented and fulfills her job with a lot of enthusiasm and professionality. I think a certain principle of idealism dictates her actions."

"She's the Mage King responsible for the Reconnaissance Department, but she is also leading the Research Department at the same time."

"How come?" Shang asked.

"I'll explain later," Queen Primordium said. "Sarah is quite busy, but she would probably accept you as her disciple. I would guess that she would probably try to understand everything about your power so she can create the best plan for your training. She's also one of the better candidates."

Shang nodded.

He still remembered the time he had met her.

Back then, Shang had been in this huge black building, and he hadn't known how to leave.

That was when she suddenly appeared in front of him, asking him what he was doing there and telling him that this was the property of the Lightning Manor.

Back then, Shang had no idea what the Lightning Manor was.

"I got a question," Shang said.

"Yes?" Queen Primordium asked.

"In Area 23, I saw an Ancestral Beast attack a huge black building that was built underground. At the same time, I felt the typical Aura of an Abomination come from there."
