Sword God in a World of Magic

It was a Mage!

A beast!

A Mage!

"You're a Mage?" Shang asked.

"Can beasts not be Mages?" the Thunder King asked calmly.

"Can beasts below the Beast Lord Realm not be Mages?" Shang countered.

The Thunder King threw an emotionless glance at Shang.

If Shang hadn't come here under the Lightning Emperor's orders, the Thunder King would have killed Shang for his answer.

So, he did the next best thing.

He refused to answer any questions.

"Go into the barrier. I will send opponents to you. You are not allowed to kill anyone," the Thunder King said curtly.

Shang realized that he had annoyed the Thunder King, but he also didn't care a lot.

His question had already been answered.

Naturally, beasts below the Beast Lord Realm didn't have human intelligence. Sure, there were some beasts that acted like Mages, like Proto-Mages and the Serpents, but they were not Mages.

Proto-Mages weren't experienced or intelligent enough to create really advanced Spells, and Serpents simply followed their instincts.

But a Beast Lord was about as intelligent as a human.

So, why wouldn't a Beast Lord be able to learn Magic at that point?

Maybe the Thunder King had once asked one of the humans about Magic.

Shang could imagine a researcher, like the Myriad King, becoming very interested in a beast that wanted to learn Magic.

"Don't send anything below the Late Beast Lord Realm," Shang said.

The Thunder King didn't answer.
