Sword God in a World of Magic

"We require your help, Young Master Shang."

Shang had just left his Isolation Chamber after 150 years when he immediately got contacted by Amarius.

"Yes?" Shang asked.

"This time, we need you somewhere else," Amarius said. "Please, leave the Isolation Barrier so that the Custodian can contact you."

"Sure," Shang said before cutting the connection and leaving the Isolation Barrier.

Some seconds later, the Custodian contacted him.

"What do you need?" Shang asked.

"I need you for the Mage Lord battlefield," the Custodian said.

"That's a first," Shang said.

"The Twilight Dusk Empire has started to ramp up their pressure in the Mage Lord battlefield recently," the Custodian explained. "I believe that the Twilight Dusk Emperor managed to get rid of the suppressive effects of the contract first."

"The contract is supposed to enforce that Archmages and Ancestral Mages are the most important in the war. That means that planning on taking over an enemy territory via only the Mage Lord territory wouldn't be in the spirit of the war."

"But with the restriction gone, the Twilight Dusk Family is going all out, sending out one Mage Lord after the other."

"At the same time, there have been instances of Initial Mage Lords purposefully falling back to the Peak Ancestral Mage Realm to fight in the Ancestral Mage Realm Zones."

"Reaching the Initial Mage Lord Realm at 2,000 years of age, comprehending Concepts for another 2,000 years with the mental strength of a Mage Lord, and then falling back down to fight for 1,000 years as a Peak or Late Ancestral Mage is a tactic that is obviously not in the spirit of the war."

"But they are doing that anyway."

"Additionally, we have found that some Ancestral Mages and Mage Lords are using tools created by several other Ancestral Mages and Mage Lords to gain an unfair advantage in battles."

"In short, the Twilight Dusk Family is putting an immense amount of pressure on us, and we can't use the same tactics since we are still suppressed by the contract," the Custodian said.

"Seems problematic," Shang answered evenly.
