For a while, the older man couldn't wrap his mind around what he was looking at. It was the silhouette of a tall and thin man wearing long and old white robes. There were several loose strands on the old robe, and it looked extremely old, almost ancient. The white of the robes was so stark that they almost seemed ethereal as they moved slightly in the wind. Even more, the man wearing the robes was standing on the road with his bare feet, which also seemed far too white to be from someone that walked…-

"And you think that's a good idea… why?" A middle-aged man in expensive red robes was currently looking at a younger man wearing cheaper-looking grey robes. "I just want to be careful, sir," the younger man said with nervousness. The older man sighed. "Boy, do you have any idea how much money it costs to deactivate and activate the barrier?" The younger man looked with uncertainty at the ground. "I don't know, sir, but I think carelessness can lead to worse outcomes." "Carelessness?" the older man…

Nothing happened while Shang was flying southward. The sun shone brightly in the sky. People were doing their daily chores and meeting with friends. Warriors were hunting in the wildernesses in teams. It was a busy day like any other. In comparison to 75 years ago, the current Storm Kingdom was much better off. People didn't seem nearly as worried, and they had already returned to their previous selves before the Council had started to suppress the warriors. The Kingdom had transformed into how…

A harsh wind blew. On top of a hill was a broken castle. Mere moments ago, this castle had been whole. Now, the back of the castle was missing. What had once been a room was now a ruin. Half-broken walls were behind Shang as the bright sun shone down on him. The bright sun didn't reflect Shang's feelings, but the weather didn't care about the feelings of living beings. Shang's body had become a husk. Nearly all his muscles had shrunk to a sickly degree, making him look like a skeleton with merely…

Nobody said anything for a while. Jerald put the letter to the side, and Shang summoned it back into his inner world. "Are you telling the truth?" Jerald asked. "Will you do your best to stop the Abominations?" Shang nodded. "The reason why Lucius failed is the God. The two of them have battled each other, and the God won." "I don't plan to lose against the God." "Lucius didn't know what he was up against, but I do." Then, Shang looked towards the ceiling. "And maybe that is one of the reasons why…

Right now, Shang wasn't sure what he should think or feel. He wanted to say that he was hurt and that he was shocked that Jerald would think that Shang would kill him. Yet, Jerald's concerns were actually correct. Why hadn't Shang told him? Because Shang was afraid. Not afraid of what Jerald would think of him, but afraid of Jerald killing him. Shang wanted to tell Jerald, but he wanted to become powerful enough to resist Jerald first. "I never wanted you to find out," Shang said slowly. "Well,…

Prince George deactivated the barrier, and Shang entered. Shang had taken note of Prince George's demeanor, and he had noticed that it didn't seem to fit the context. Prince George had said that he looked up to Shang, but he had this worried and concerned expression on his face. It was almost like he feared Shang. Shang double-checked if Humanity was still active, and it was. So, it couldn't have been that. But then why would an Initial High Mage, and Jerald's son on top of that, be apprehensive in…

Shang wanted to answer, but before he could, he blinked a couple of times in confusion. Then, he looked at the man he was talking to more closely. He looked to be in his early twenties, and he was an Initial High Mage. He had light blue hair, and he looked quite muscular for a Mage. After Shang looked at him for a bit, he could tell that the man really looked quite similar to Jerald. "You're Jerald's son?" Shang asked, almost unable to believe it. "Yes, I am Prince George. I'm asking again, why do you…

Shang arrived back in the Caves and concentrated on his body. All the warriors had increased their level by just focusing on their bodies, but Shang was about to do more. His body was now ready to reach the next level, but Shang also focused on Impose. Usually, Shang wouldn't need more than a couple of minutes to reach the next level after absorbing an Abomination, but this time, Shang took several hours. He was trying his best to connect Impose with his body during the small breakthrough. However,…

Shang tried Impose a couple more times and grew even more familiar with it. Impose increased his power by quite a lot, and it even allowed Shang to swing his Great Sword with only a single arm. It was almost like he was swinging his Great Sword like his Long Sword. When Shang had that thought, he suddenly stopped. 'I can swing my Great Sword like my Long Sword?' Shang thought as he scratched his chin. 'I mean, it definitely moves faster than before. In a way, my Great Sword can now move nearly as fast…
