Sword God in a World of Magic

As Shang journeyed southeast, he once again reached out to the Starlight Queen. "I'm prepared to join the frontlines."

There was a brief pause before the Starlight Queen responded. "Alright. Please proceed to this location," she said politely, providing the coordinates of her operational base.

"Sure," Shang replied before ending the call. Little did he know, the Starlight Queen had voiced her frustrations to the Custodian following their previous conversation.

She had vented her anger, expressing how unacceptable it was for a member of the Lightning Manor to endanger the entire clan over a personal grudge.

In her opinion, personal matters should be kept separate from business affairs. It infuriated her that someone like Shang held a high position in the Lightning Manor despite his lack of respect for others.

The Custodian, in a rather straightforward manner, acknowledged that they were well aware of this fact. Everyone knew it. However, they were at a loss regarding what to do about it.

Should they eliminate him? But then they would meet the same fate. Should they forcefully restrain him? The outcome would be no different.

Annoyed, the Custodian even asked the Starlight Queen what she proposed they do in this situation. If she had a better plan or idea, she was welcome to share it. Unfortunately, she had no better solution, which only added to her frustration.

It felt incredibly unfair to her. Shang showed no respect to anyone, yet they were expected to treat him with respect?

She despised the situation, but there was nothing she could do about it. In the end, the Custodian advised her to treat Shang with genuine politeness. After all, they didn't engage in frequent conversations. Asking for a few civil sentences every century was not too much to ask for.

As Shang neared the base of operations, the Starlight Queen explained her plan to him. They would target the one-star flag of the Mage Lords belonging to the Judgment Palace. This flag was situated near the beginning of the long line extending westward.

Naturally, the Judgment Palace was aware that Shang might one day attempt to destroy their Defender Flag, but they were willing to take that risk. At least, they would make some use of the flag before its demise.

With his sword at the ready, Shang awaited the moment.
