Sword God in a World of Magic

Three Mage Kings had met their demise.

The first one was the Myriad King, whose remaining lifespan had finally expired.

When Shang had first encountered him, the Myriad King had less than 5,000 years left, and now his time had run out. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it.

The Myriad King's mana was transferred into an inheritor sphere and stored at a neutral location for the upcoming tournament.

As for the other two Mage Kings, one belonged to the Twilight Dusk Family, an elderly figure who had served for a long time.

The other was a newer Mage King recently acquired by the Lightning Manor, although they still remained at the Initial Mage King Realm, as advancing in the Mage King Realm took considerable time.

One day, the oldest Mage King from the Twilight Dusk Family launched an attack on the new Mage King from the Lightning Manor.

The mana of the Twilight Dusk Family Mage King was dispersed into the world since they were not allowed to keep it.

On the other hand, the mana left behind by the Lightning Manor's new Mage King remained with them.

As their previous Mage King had died due to a violation of the rules, the Lightning Manor had the privilege to select another member to become the new Mage King.

This resulted in the Twilight Dusk Family losing a Mage King while the Lightning Manor did not suffer the same fate.

But what was the purpose behind the Twilight Dusk Family's actions? It was all related to the upcoming tournament for the future Mage Emperor.

With only about 46,000 years remaining until the tournament, the Lightning Manor needed their trump card, capable of challenging King Sanctified Death, to become a Mage King as soon as possible.

However, the trump card already faced a disadvantage of around 30,000 years compared to King Sanctified Death.
