Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang dealt with all the different Attack Flags that had been used by Peak Ancestral Mages and then returned to extending the tendril.

Naturally, no one dared to attack Shang while he attacked territories.

However, there were still ways to counter things.

For example, after Shang conquered a line of three territories, an Attack Flag from a Mid Ancestral Mage appeared on a territory behind him.

Shang couldn't defend that territory since he was too powerful.

Because of that, just having Shang wasn't enough to secure all the territories.

Shang continued attacking territory after territory, conquering one territory per hour.

He did that for weeks.

However, the progress the Lightning Manor made was only minor since the Judgment Palace kept counterattacking.

Luckily, attacking was always disadvantageous since the enemy had enough time to look at whoever was attacking and send the appropriate person to defend.

It was a bit like making your move first in rock paper scissors, but the advantage wasn't as extreme as in this case since there were still aspects of deception and power that played a role.

Nevertheless, the Lightning Manor was making progress, and since no Peak Ancestral Mages attacked the Lightning Manor in this Zone anymore, the Lightning Manor's Peak Ancestral Mages could move to other Zones.

This increased the quality of the Peak Ancestral Mages in other Zones, resulting in fewer Ancestral Mages dying.

At one point, a portal suddenly opened in front of Shang, and he charged through it without hesitation.

In an instant, he appeared over three million kilometers to the north and charged into one of the Defender Flags of the Twilight Dusk Family.

Everything had happened so suddenly that they couldn't even react.

Naturally, the Twilight Dusk Family became quite angry with the Judgment Palace, but the Judgment Palace told them that they were having issues with the menace.
