Sword God in a World of Magic

The dead hill in front of the mansions in the Hibye was surrounded by a huge purple Isolation Barrier yet again.

Ten years.

The warrior had remained somewhat sane for only ten years.

Then, that portal appeared, and when the guy came back, everything changed.

First, that guy just stood on that hill for a couple of minutes, not moving.

And then, he began to age rapidly!

He was turning into an old man in seconds!

All his hair fell out, his muscles vanished, his skin began to sack, and disgusting brown and grey spots appeared all over his body.

Then, he just fell over like a dead man!

The Bolts immediately contacted him. After all, Clouds weren't supposed to just die like this!

And what did he answer?!

"Everything's okay. Just ignore me."

The hell it was!

That guy was aging rapidly and dying right in front of them!

How was that okay?!

When Lucin saw that, he immediately took out his Communication Crystal and contacted Queen Primordium, who quickly informed him about everything.

After Queen Primordium hung up, Lucin just looked at his Communication Crystal with furrowed brows.

Couldn't they have tried to keep this secret?

He already had needed to come up with a lie for the portal, and now he needed to find a believable lie for why Shang was just fucking dying right there.

Lucin immediately decided to summon another Isolation Barrier around Shang.

Naturally, the Bolts were interested once more about what was going on.
