Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang remained silent for two seconds.

"Alright," he answered. "I don't know why someone is impersonating Lucin, but I presume there is a reason for that."

When Fleros heard Shang directly refer to Lucin being impersonated, his eyes narrowed for a second.

He had no idea how Shang had found out.

"Everything will be explained in a couple of days," Fleros answered. "For now, I must ask you to keep all of this a secret."

Shang nodded.

"However, there might be an even bigger problem."

'Bigger than Lucin's death?' Fleros thought in ridicule.

"What?" Fleros asked.

"My teacher's Communication Crystal is saying that she isn't reachable," Shang transmitted.

"And your teacher is?" Fleros asked.

Shang didn't say anything for two seconds.

"She is inside the Lightning Manor," Shang answered. "I need to go to the Lightning Manor."

Fleros furrowed his brows again.

"Who's your teacher?" he asked again.

"I'm not telling you for your own good," Shang transmitted.

Fleros lifted an eyebrow. "For my own good?" he asked skeptically.

"Yes," Shang said. "You probably have some way to confirm whether I'm telling the truth or not. Just use that method. I'm not lying."

Fleros looked with a complicated expression at Shang.

"Your teacher isn't Lucin, right?" he asked.

"No," Shang answered.

Fleros looked at the sky with a worried expression.

If Shang's teacher was truly in the Lightning Manor and he couldn't reach her, it could mean that another Mage Lord had died.

Usually, Fleros wouldn't even entertain the thought that a Mage Lord died within the Lightning Manor, but after Lucin's head had just randomly exploded, he no longer doubted that something like this could happen.
