Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang had seen the person before the person had seen him.

They weren't traveling at their full speed, and maybe, Shang could escape before they saw him.

However, Shang just smirked and chuckled a bit.

'How interesting,' he thought. 'It seems like Gregorio hasn't been the most careful.'

A moment later, the person found Shang, and they just watched with shock.

This confirmed that they hadn't known that Shang was still alive but that they had only had a hunch.

Shang could feel the person looking at him, and the person could also feel Shang looking at them.

A moment later, a portal opened just 100,000 kilometers behind Shang. It wasn't close enough to count as melee range for Shang, but easily close enough for a Peak Mage King to fight him.

A moment later, an older man with an immaculately groomed suit walked out. The Custodian, Wester.

Wester looked at Shang with narrowed eyes while Shang just looked at the silver wall.

Shang hadn't hidden his new limbs, and Wester could see them in all their glory.

Shang chuckled a bit and turned to look at Wester with his black-and-white eyes. "Wester, what a pleasure to see you," he said with a smirk.

Wester's emotions were going crazy.

When Wester had talked to Gregorio, he had already noticed that Gregorio was acting strangely.

Gregorio had often talked about Shang when talking to Wester, but as soon as the Grand Tournament had passed, Gregorio had completely stopped talking about him.

It was almost like Shang had stopped existing in Gregorio's mind.

However, based on how Gregorio had acted when Shang had wanted to talk to him, Wester knew that Gregorio wouldn't just dump Shang like a piece of trash after he became useless.

At the very least, he would have lamented Shang's demise many times.

And yet, Gregorio had never talked about Shang again.

Wester had guessed that Shang might still be alive.
