Sword God in a World of Magic

"This is the middle of the place we call Deep Crevices," the Bolt explained. "The Wilderness Hunt will be held within a radius of 10,000 kilometers. Leaving the area voluntarily results in death."

"Naturally, you will be able to tell where the wilderness ends based on a very noticeable Magic Circle, which you will see and pass through on your way down."

"As soon as you pass through the Magic Circle later, you are not allowed to pass through it until a Bolt tells you so."

"Well then," the Bolt said with a smile, "I think that should be everything."

"You can descend now."

BANG!

Half of the Clouds immediately shot into the water at their full speeds, even using Mana Step.

The other half slowly started to float and made their way downward.

Shang was amongst the half that traveled slowly.

Usually, one could tell someone's confidence in their power based on how they acted in this situation, but that wasn't very easy here. After all, the Clouds knew how certain people would act and could emulate that behavior.

Shang slowly floated into the water, although his kind of slow wasn't exactly an average human's kind of slow. He still moved two kilometers per second.

As Shang continued going downward, he was reminded of the time he had run away from the Grandmountain Kingdom. Back then, he had also swum to the bottom of a huge lake.

However, the Shang from back then had just reached the Commander Stage, and he hadn't been able to sense anything down there since it had been just too dark.

But this time, Shang had a Spirit Sense, even if it was only restricted to a radius of ten kilometers for now.

The Clouds split up the further they descended. As soon as they passed through the barrier, they would be allowed to attack each other, and most of them didn't want to be attacked.

In a matter of seconds, Shang was alone again.

Right now, there was only water in all directions.

Shang had no idea how deep the Eternal Ocean actually was, but it was probably very deep.

After nearly a full minute, Shang could see the Magic Circle the Bolt had been talking about.

There was a purple barrier in front of Shang, impossible to miss.

This meant that the Wilderness Hunt would start from here.

'The wilderness is supposed to have a radius of 10,000 kilometers. I wonder if that also extends upward, which would mean that the bottom of the Eternal Ocean is over 10,000 kilometers away.'

Shang had expected the Eternal Ocean to be deep, but he hadn't expected it to be this deep.

However, Shang didn't stop descending, and in nearly an instant, he passed through the actual barrier.

BANG!

Suddenly, Shang's surroundings seemed to crack apart!
