Sword God in a World of Magic

Several days passed.

Shang exited his inner world and killed the bird watcher.

After a couple of seconds, the barrier turned transparent again, and Shang waited in the middle.

As always, Shang looked calm and emotionless.

And then, he waited for his opponent.

Silence.

The barrier didn't become cloudy, which meant that no one had entered the barrier.

Some seconds later, Shang's Communication Crystal rang.

"Hold your position! No matter what!" came an urgent but unknown voice.

However, based on the aura Shang had felt, he knew exactly who had just spoken.

Kiran, the Catastrophe King.

Before Shang could answer, the Communication Crystal became silent.

Shang tried to contact some people of the Lightning Manor, but his Communication Crystal couldn't reach anyone.

He was isolated.

Shang moved to the edge of his territory without retrieving the flag to look out of the transparent barrier with his Spirit Sense.

At the southeastern end, there was nothing too surprising.

It was just the start of the Judgment Palace Empire.

There were no powerful Mages that Shang could see.

Then, Shang went to the southern end.

There was the Land and Sky Empire.

There was also no one there.

After that, Shang went to the east.

There was the Twilight Dusk Empire.

No noteworthy Mages present.

And when Shang reached the north, he realized what had happened.

To the north of Shang's barrier, he saw a different barrier.
