Sword God in a World of Magic

After Shang left the Isolation Barrier, he noticed that Linay had left.

That made Shang realize that the time for which he had booked her had passed.

Shang was now alone again.

As Shang looked at the surrounding Eternal Ocean, he felt that he wasn't safe enough.

Sure, he had an Isolation Barrier made by a Mage King, two powerful Isolation Chambers, a direct line to every member of the Lightning Manor, and a pin with which he could contact the Lightning Emperor, but there was still something that could happen to him.

If Shang decided to leave the Isolation Barrier, like now, a powerful Mage Lord could theoretically stand at the ready to ambush him.

Shang would only feel safe when all of this was covered.

Eventually, Shang called Linay again.

"Hello, Shang," she answered.

"Are you still responsible for managing my exchanges with the Lightning Manor?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm still responsible for that," she answered.

"Good. I need either you or a Thunder that keeps watch over my Isolation Barrier while I train."

Linay took a deep breath.

Literally nothing had happened in the 800 years she had watched over Shang.

She had literally done nothing during that time.

Shang was the safest person in the world with all the safeguards around him.

Who could possibly kill him?

"Shang, I think that's a waste of resources. I watched over you for 800 years, and nothing happened," Linay said.

"Whenever I leave the Isolation Barrier to check on any updates on my Transmission Medal, I am open to an attack," Shang said. "If there were a Peak Mage Lord with a fourfold Spirit Sense waiting for me, I would die before I could contact anyone."

Linay sighed.

In her mind, Shang was paranoid to an insane degree.

"Let me see what I can do. I will call you later. Please don't enter the Isolation Barrier for now so that I can reach you," she said.

"I will go back in, but

Linay groaned. "Fine."
