Sword God in a World of Magic

Several thoughts immediately shot through Shang's mind.

Had the enemy hidden themselves very well from Shang's senses, and they were actually closer?

No, the Starlight Queen would have informed Shang of that. Defenders nearly always stayed in the middle of the barrier, and if that weren't the case, the Starlight Queen would have told him.

Were there some contraptions that enlarged the enemy's Spirit Sense?

No, very unlikely. A Mage Lord couldn't attack from so far away. Seeing an opponent wouldn't make a difference.

Lastly, the sheer intensity of the feeling that the bandages were transmitting to Shang was enormous.

Yet, not even Emperors could look into the barriers. They were specifically designed to isolate all kinds of Spirit Senses.

How intense was the feeling of the bandages?

Very intense.

It felt about as intense as when the Starlight Queen looked at Shang.

Just based on the feeling, Shang knew that this was not someone he could fight against.

This was someone as powerful as a Mage King!

Was this what the enemy had planned?

They had sent a Mage King to kill Shang? But how?!

The barriers would immediately feel the presence of a Mage King and alert the outside while deactivating!

Yet, somehow, the three Empires managed to get a Mage King into this Defender Flag to fight Shang without alerting the Defender Flag.
