Sword God in a World of Magic

When Shang emerged from his Isolation Barrier, the Empress of Death had already terminated her contract with the three enemy Empires a couple of years ago.

As expected, the situation had become troublesome.

With all contracts broken, the three enemy Empires formed a true alliance.

Mages transferred between Empires to launch attacks from their borders, allowing individual members to move freely across all Empires without being attacked.

When Shang learned about the frontline, he realized the gravity of the situation.

The Lightning Manor had converted their southeastern Zone into a stronghold for Mage Lords, anticipating a collective attack from the three Empires.

Although Ancestral Mages weakened by Shang would have been the logical choice to defend the Zone, they opted for Mage Lords, primarily due to Shang's presence in the Seventh Realm.

The Lightning Manor had started preparing for this plan 500 years ago, guiding Mid Mage Lords to reach the Late Mage Lord Realm, Early Mage Lords to fall into the Initial Mage Lord Realm, and asking Initial Mage Lords not to break through for a while.

As a result, there were less than 200 Early and Mid Mage Lords in the Lightning Manor, but over a thousand Initial Mage Lords.

Shang's power was potent enough to defeat any Early and Mid Mage Lord, making it unnecessary for the Lightning Manor to deploy many forces at that

Realm.
