Sword God in a World of Magic

Eventually, the world fell back into something that some people might call peace.

Even though Shang was dead, Gregorio was still a massive threat since he could free the Archivist.

So, no one wanted to push Gregorio too far.

For now, it was best to keep things calm and wait until the fateful day.

The war essentially stopped, except for a couple of minor conflicts between some Empires.

The population of Mage Lords started to recover.

No one attacked the Lightning Manor anymore, and the Lightning Manor also didn't expand further than their original borders.

The war was over.

Well, officially, the war was still going on, but nobody was actually fighting.

"You seem quite calm, sir," Wester said as he brought some tea to Gregorio.

Gregorio was reading a couple of books with quite a lot of speed. All of these books were related to Abominations and ways to stop them.

Wester had noticed that Gregorio was reading these kinds of books all the time while also writing several.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be anything strange. After all, that was what Gregorio was doing most of the time.

But these were not normal circumstances.

Shang was dead, and Abaddon was bound to become a Mage Emperor in 24,000 years.

Wester thought that Gregorio would seem more gloomy or pressured.

Yet, he didn't seem different than any other time.

Gregorio raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Wester. "Do I really look calm?" he asked.

"You do, sir," Wester said. "Frighteningly so."

Gregorio just chuckled a bit and looked back at the book without answering.
