Sword God in a World of Magic

Inside the Lightning Manor, the Custodian, the Starlight Queen, the Myriad King, and Shang were waiting for further orders.

Naturally, Shang wasn't actually really waiting for orders. He kind of was just here because he happened to be the one that "found out" that Queen Primordium had died.

Shang wasn't sure if he should just leave or wait here.

In the end, he decided to wait like everyone else, even though he didn't really fit in with the three Mage Kings.

None of them knew what was going on.

They had been waiting for several minutes with nothing happening, which could mean anything.

Whoom!

Suddenly, a portal opened up beside them.

BANG!

The air in the hallway blew to the side as a person arrived there at insane speeds.

The person stumbled and nearly fell before they turned around and smiled awkwardly into the portal.

"Let's catch up later, okay?" they said.

"Stop-"

And the portal closed before the person on the other side could say anything.

The person that had arrived in the middle of the hallway cleaned the sweat off their forehead with a nervous chuckle and looked at the people gathered around them.

The three Mage Kings looked at the new person with intense eyes.

The newest person was a man with blonde hair, wearing the typical purple robes of the Lightning Manor.

Shang had seen an image of that person before.

It was Amarius, the Dawnlight King, the leader of the Diplomacy Department.

Amarius looked at the others and just laughed bitterly. "Well, either I have to go to the Judgment Palace all the time from now on or not at all. Depends on the outcome."

The Custodian looked at Amarius. "I presume the Ancestor is near the Judgment Palace right now?"

"He sure is," Amarius said with a cough. "He just killed two of their Mage Kings."
