Sword God in a World of Magic

Lucin started to explain the rules of the Wilderness Hunt.

"The Wilderness Hunt is divided into three sections. One for the High Mages. One for the Archmages. One for the Ancestral Mages."

"Every section will be held in a different wilderness."

"The wildernesses have been prepared by me and the 20 Bolts behind me. We have created tombs, caves, and many other things that will serve as trials. We have also littered the wildernesses with valuable treasures."

"Of course, the more valuable a treasure, the harder it is to obtain. You will meet powerful beasts, deadly traps, powerful criminals, and many other kinds of dangers. It is your job to survive these dangers and earn as many resources as possible."

"The amulets you have just received must be worn at all times. They show others your level, which is important in the Wilderness Hunt."

"In the Wilderness Hunt, you are allowed to attack other Clouds and kill them. You may keep all of the dead Cloud's belongings."

"However, you are only allowed to attack people at the same or at a higher level than your own. Attacking people below your level is strictly forbidden."

"As soon as a fight breaks out, one of my Bolts will oversee the battle and make sure that no third person gets involved. Every fight is a duel, and no one is allowed to interfere."

"In order to make the Wilderness Hunt possible in the first place, your amulets will also suppress your Spirit Sense to a radius of ten kilometers. On top of that, there are several Magic Circles in the wildernesses that stop you from looking into the ground with your Spirit Senses."

"The Wilderness Hunt will last for one year for the High Mages, three years for the Archmages, and ten years for the Ancestral Mages."

"When the time is up, we are going to come to you and bring you back to the Hibye."

"If you have entered a smaller trial located within the wilderness and time runs out, you are allowed to finish that trial before you have to leave."

"Any questions?" Lucin asked.

None of the Mages had any questions.

"Will the Bolts watch us constantly, even outside of fights?" Shang asked.

Lucin nodded. "Every participant will be watched over by one or more Bolts at every moment unless during special trials, but you will be informed if you enter such a trial."

That was everything Shang wanted to know.

This meant that he couldn't show his more sensitive abilities involving his Entropy Affinity.

There were no other questions.

Lucin nodded. "Then, I wish everyone good luck."

A second later, three Bolts stepped forward, each summoning a big Transportation Plate.
