Sword God in a World of Magic

962 Chapter 962 — Schemes

A woman with whitish—grey hair stepped out of the portal. She wore the typical purple robes of the Lightning Manor, and her demeanor seemed quite similar to the Starlight Queen.

She seemed to be filled with pride but didn't seem too distant.

However, the Emperors could feel through her deception.

The woman was shocked, infuriated, and scared.

She knew how powerful her opponents would be, and she knew that she wasn't ready to participate in the tournament yet. Even more, due to Shang participating, she also knew that this would be a death tournament!

If the Emperors were in agreement, they could agree to let everyone fight to the death.

Usually, fights erred on the side of life, which meant that if two opponents were not in agreement, killing someone was prohibited and would result in the execution of the killer.

But if the Emperors agreed to a death tournament, that would shift.

It would mean that if two opponents were not in agreement, the fight would be to the death.

So, the loser would only be able to survive if both teams decided to make this a benign fight.

Naturally, the woman was not happy at all that she was here.

She would have become a Mage King in the future!

But now, she would die because the Lightning Emperor sacrificed her just to get a tiny chance at getting his favorite young master to become a Warrior King or whatever!

Of course, the majority of her hate was focused on Shang, but as soon as she saw him, her hatred vanished, replaced by fear.

What even was this?!

The Mage had been incredibly prideful. After all, she was the only Mage Lord with a fivefold Spirit Sense in the Lightning Manor currently!

She was the most talented Mage in an entire Empire!

Yet, when she felt Shang's Aura, she just felt inadequate and inferior.

It was like a Mage King was floating near her.

In the end, she could only accept her destiny.

"Hello, I am Cynthia Steelbright," she transmitted to Shang, "and I am a Peak Mage Lord with a fivefold Spirit Sense. I have a Dual Affinity for Metal and Lightning."

"Attack, defense, speed, versatility," Shang transmitted back. "Which is your best?" Shang's voice felt extremely dark and threatening to Cynthia, but she could still handle it.

"Attack and speed," she answered. "You?"
