Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang continued training against the Abomination Lords for several more centuries.

Luckily, nothing of note happened within the next 700 years, but that wasn't necessarily a good thing.

The other Empires were rarely using Peak Mage Lords, and when they did, they only sent out average ones.

Naturally, the Lightning Manor could easily deal with these weaker Mage Lords.

The problem was that the war was going too smoothly for the Lightning Manor.

After years and years of barely being able to survive, the Lightning Manor could now defend itself easily, and the population of their Ancestral Mages was starting to increase again.

All of this was thanks to Shang since he had dealt with the most troublesome opponents and made it impossible for the Empires to send any powerful Peak Mage Lords into battle.

However, the smooth progression of the Lightning Manor put immense pressure on the other three Empires.

The three Empires had lost their chance at winning the war in the early phase when they had an overwhelming power advantage.

At this moment, the situation didn't look bad for the three Empires, but they could see toward which direction the line graph gravitated.

They had already used all their weapons, and Shang was still alive.

The only way to deal with Shang meant going to even greater extremes.

The easier it was for the Lightning Manor, the greater the chance that the war would intensify.

It was possible that the Mage Kings and Mage Emperors might actually get involved.

If they combined their powers, they could definitely kill the Lightning Emperor.
