Sword God in a World of Magic

"Let me just clear all your doubts, okay?" the jester said with a malicious smirk.

Then, he flicked one of his fingers at the wall.

BOOOOOOOM!

The wall of the humongous Isolation Chamber blew apart, its fragments scattering across millions of kilometers.

Shang couldn't move.

The sheer power of that flick had been beyond comprehension.

"Have you already forgotten?" the jester said, continuing to walk forward.

"I kicked the idiotic, naïve, and idealistic Mage Emperor to death."

"You think I cared about his power?"

"Even this cheap and stupid puppet is powerful enough to kill a Mage Emperor," the jester said, referring to its body.

"Want to see?" he said, genuine craziness in its mechanical eyes.

"You don't need to," Shang answered. "I believe you."

The jester's expression changed to a cocky and ridiculing one.

Its expression almost seemed like it came from a cartoon.

"Too bad," the God said. "You're not the one in charge."

Then, the jester lunged forward and grabbed Shang by one of his shoulders, and pulled him along.

In an instant, they arrived somewhere else.

The two appeared in front of the hovering Lucin, who was currently dealing with something by focusing on his Communication Crystal.

Lucin didn't notice either of the two.

The jester let go of Shang and slowly wound up by spinning his right arm in a circle.

Then, he punched Lucin.

CRKSH!

And Lucin's head exploded.

Shang took a deep breath.

This wasn't some illusion.

This was real.

The God had just killed Lucin.

The next moment, Shang saw nearly twenty Bolts appear in the sky around Lucin's falling body.

They were looking with absolute terror at the falling corpse of their leader.
