Sword God in a World of Magic

They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

No, this couldn't be!

How?!

Why?!

While Shang's Aura and clothing were different, his appearance couldn't be any more distinguishable.

After all, who else was missing his eyes, an arm, and both his legs?!

Beside Gregorio hovered a torso with a head and a right arm, encompassed by a bloodred piece of cloth.

How was he still alive?!

When Abaddon looked at Shang, he laughed loudly.

"You're still alive!" he shouted with happiness. "And I thought this tournament would be boring!"

When the Emperors heard Abaddon's exclamation, their minds started to go wild.

Was it really so bad that Shang was alive?

If Abaddon and Shang were to fight in the final...

And then, the Emperors realized that no one in this tournament was supposed to die.

But with a vote, they could probably change that.

So, if Abaddon and Shang fought to the death in the final, one of them would be dead, and the other one would be severely injured.

As long as Isis Neweston, the organizer of the Ultimate Tournament, handed over the prize very quickly, the Emperors would be able to fight a weakened Abaddon or Shang!

Of course, all of that was mixed with many other feelings and thoughts.

How did he become a Peak Sword King without anybody noticing?

How was he still alive?

Hadn't Lucius said that no non-Mage Emperor was supposed to appear again?
