Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang just looked at Wester with an interested smirk, while Wester looked at Shang with narrowed eyes.

"Since when?" Wester asked.

"Since when what?" Shang asked back.

"Since when did the Ancestor know that you are the Child of Calamity?" Wester shouted with an enraged voice.

"Since I lost my legs," Shang answered.

Wester thought back to that day and realized that it had already been well over 15,000 years.

"How did you convince the Ancestor to spare you?" Wester asked.

"Spare me?" Shang repeated with mock shock.

Then, he laughed.

"Convince him?" Shang said with a smirk.

"When he found out, I was unconscious. So, I guess you could say I convinced him by lying on the ground in front of him."

When Wester heard that, he started to grit his teeth.

Shang didn't seem like he was lying.

Even more, the world resonated with his answer, which meant that it was the truth.

Of course, powerful Mage Kings could manipulate that resonance to a certain degree, but Shang wasn't a Mage.

Sadly, Shang's answer took the last bit of hope from Wester.

Maybe, the Ancestor hadn't known that Shang was the Child of Calamity?

Maybe, Shang had used some kind of Spell on the Ancestor?

Unfortunately, the simplest answer was often the correct one.

"Why?" Wester asked. "Why did the Ancestor betray us?"

"Why?" Shang repeated with a smirk.

"Honestly, I'm not quite sure myself."

"Back when I met him for the first time, he was debating killing me, but after we talked about everything for a bit, he seemed to just like me for some reason."

Wester narrowed his eyes.

That sounded like a lie!
