Sword God in a World of Magic

Naturally, the Lightning Manor very quickly noticed what was going on, and they couldn't be any happier about it.

The Tower of Climate wasn't putting too much pressure on the Judgment Palace, but they were definitely applying pressure. The Judgment Palace needed to maintain a constant stream of Mages that defended its territories.

Of course, that included Ancestral Mages, and since the Ancestral Mages were also desperately needed at the frontlines with the Lightning Manor, their absence was very noticeable.

However, the Lightning Manor couldn't afford to send all their people to the Judgment Palace right now since their forces had already been reduced by quite a bit. The other two Empires were still applying pressure to the Lightning Manor.

So, they decided to use this opportunity to recover and strengthen their other frontlines.

The other two Empires noticed that the quality of defenders had increased again, and their frustration grew.

They were annoyed by what the Temple of Climate was doing.

But what could they do?

Neither the Twilight Dusk Empire nor the Land and Sky Empire bordered the Tower of Climate. Even if they were willing to go to war, they couldn't.

Sure, they could conquer a small road to the Tower of Climate, but that would require attacking the Judgement Palace, and due to the contract, that was still out of the question. After all, enemies were not allowed to work together in such a way.

The Judgment Palace would need to honestly give their best in defending these territories, which would mean that several Mages with threefold and maybe even fourfold Spirit Senses would die from both sides.

For what? So that the Twilight Dusk Family could sacrifice even more Mages by going to war with the Tower of Climate?

So, for better or worse, the Judgment Palace was on its own.

After a couple more years, Shang no longer had anything to do at the frontlines and retreated.

"Thank you for your help, Young Master Shang," the Starlight Queen told him. "Please be prepared to help the frontlines again in 50 years."

Shang just nodded without saying anything and flew towards the north to his Isolation Barrier.

Shang didn't need to constantly be present. After all, before he attacked, he had always been hidden.

So, the enemy didn't know whether Shang was prepared to attack or not.

Every time they tried to test whether Shang was present or not, they would lose a Peak Ancestral Mage.

That's why they didn't try many times.
