Sword God in a World of Magic

The war continued, but Shang was nowhere to be seen.

The Mage Kings knew that they hadn't killed Shang, but they knew that they had permanently crippled him. They didn't know how exactly they had crippled him, but all three Mage Emperors had confirmed that the Lightning Emperor had been truthful.

Maybe it was whatever allowed him to survive until the Lightning Emperor appeared?

The warrior had managed to survive for nearly two full seconds under the assault of a Peak Mage King.

Something like that was way too powerful for someone in the Early Seventh Realm.

The Lightning Emperor had probably given the warrior something that could defend him from a Mage King, but it couldn't be that powerful.

Even if a child had a gun, it would still need to hit the attacking eagle with it.

A warrior in the Early Seventh Realm couldn't be fast enough to hit someone like a Peak Mage King.

Even more, the amount of Mana had to be limited. In two seconds, a Peak Mage King could kill a Peak Mage Emperor if they just stood still and didn't move.

This meant that the warrior must have used something that allowed him to survive for a couple of milliseconds longer.

Naturally, the warrior couldn't have killed the Mage King.

Obviously, the Mage King had died to the Lightning Emperor's lightning.

But he still managed to survive against a Peak Mage King for a while.

Had the Lightning Manor developed some kind of secret technique that could exchange health for defense?

They weren't sure, but that also wasn't as important.

The important thing was that the menace most likely wouldn't appear for the foreseeable future.

Nevertheless, the Empires were still careful.

In the beginning, they avoided using Early and Mid Mage Lords, but after a century, they used a couple of them.
