Sword God in a World of Magic

As Shang continued to focus on his swordsmanship, the Emperors and Kings became tenser and tenser.

They weren't completely sure when Shang was supposed to die, but it should happen within this millennium.

This meant that the Lightning Emperor would probably try something soon, which could very well end with a huge number of deaths.

The Emperors knew that Gregorio had gone all-in on Shang, and since Shang wasn't allowed to become a Sword King, he had to try something to make him one without the permission of the other Emperors

The Emperors were readying themselves for a final battle against Gregorio.

When they inevitably found out the way that Gregorio pushed Shang to become a Sword King, they would have to fight him.

Over the past millennia, the Emperors had also visited the Archivist several times.

Just because the Archivist was bound to his island didn't mean that no one could Visit him.

The Emperors were already trying to gain some favor with the Archivist. After all, when they fought Gregorio for the final time, Gregorio would most likely free the Archivist.

At that point, their lives would be in the Archivist's hands.

Yet, after the 20th visit or so, the Archivist grew annoyed.

"Do not foolishly believe that my senses are as bound as my body," he said with a warning tone. "I have seen and heard the truth. I am only a political bargaining chip. None of you truly want to see me freed. At least show some respect and don't talk to me like I am a naive child. I'm older than all of you combined."

The Emperors felt awkward but also nervous.

Some of them actually got the courage to ask the Archivist what he would do when he was freed.

The Archivist only said one thing.

"That's none of your concern."

This only managed to increase the Emperors' anxiety.

Because of all these things, the Emperors and Kings were extremely nervous.

They had to fight Gregorio when he inevitably helped Shang to advance!
