Sword God in a World of Magic

The tournament had now officially begun.

Yet, before Isis Neweston started to draw the lots, someone spoke up.

"I'm conceding."

The Mage Emperors looked at Linastra Boomwitch with furrowed brows.

"We have too many contestants anyway," Linastra said.

"Are you certain that this is what you want?" Isis Neweston said in an even voice, which had a hidden tone of threat and danger to it.

The other Mage Emperors were also looking at Linastra with narrowed eyes.

Linastra had always stood on the sidelines, and now that the fate of the entire world was being decided, she stood on the sidelines again.

She hadn't helped them against Shang in the past. The least she could do was try to hurt the current Shang or Abaddon.

"Yes, I'm certain," Linastra confirmed.

At this moment, Linastra felt a thick wave of hatred come towards her.

Her old friends were not happy with her at all.

"Fine," Isis Neweston said.

Behind Linastra, the Sacredflame King felt like his life had been spared.

He didn't need to die!

The Sacredflame King and Linastra stepped back, showing that they were no longer part of the combatants.

"I am willing to support you," Linastra transmitted to Gregorio.

Gregorio was a little surprised, but not very much.

"How do I know you are not supposed to betray me later and that this isn't a trick?" Gregorio asked.

"I am willing to hand over my life," Linastra transmitted. "You can use an asynchronous Life Connection Spell."

Now, Gregorio was quite certain that Linastra genuinely wanted to help him or that she was willing to sacrifice her life to kill Shang.

The next moment, Gregorio contacted Kali. "Linastra is willing to help me, and she is also willing to accept an asynchronous Life Connection Spell."

Kali was slightly surprised.
