Sword God in a World of Magic

"I want to create a new Sword Path with the Concept of Transformation as a basis," Shang said. "If everything turns out well, my missing arm might not even be an issue."

The Lightning Emperor nodded. "Do you need anything?" he asked.

"I need a Spell that makes it seem like I still have my arm," Shang said.

The Lightning Emperor nodded.

He didn't need to ask why Shang wanted that.

It was already strange that Shang was missing his eyes, but if he now also missed his arms, the enemies would ask even more questions, and maybe, they would even be able to connect Shang to Lucius.

At that point, they might even guess that Shang was the Lightning Manor's true trump card.

"Anything else?" he asked.

"In about a century, I need strong opponents. The best way to train is to fight. Due to the God's present, I have enough opponents up to the Early Mage Lord Realm, but I need Mid Mage Lords and Peak Beast Lords as opponents."

"Since my new Path is currently still in its infancy, these opponents are still too powerful for me, but in a century, I need a lot of them. Additionally, my opponents will notice that I won't be using my left arm in a fight, which will create questions. Naturally, I can't allow the secret of my missing arm to be leaked like this."

"That should be everything," Shang said.

The Lightning Emperor furrowed his brows as he tried to think of a way to handle all of this.

Usually, he would have just told Wester to deal with it, but the Lightning Emperor also didn't want to inform Wester about Shang's missing arm.

"I will try my best," the Lightning Emperor said.

"What about the contract?" Shang asked.

"The war one?"

"Yes."

"It's very robust," the Lightning Emperor said. "I'm barely halfway there, but some others are probably already ahead of me. For now, things are still fine, but in a thousand years or so, the war might become more intense."
