Outside of Shang's territory, several Mage Kings from the enemy Empires were watching him.
Sadly, there was a huge Magic Circle that stopped everyone from the Lightning Manor from looking over, which meant that Shang's current state was completely unknown to them.
The Mage Kings saw that Shang would only be able to survive for a couple more days, at most.
It was already extremely surprising that he managed to survive until now, but it wasn't impossible.
The Mage Kings from the Judgment Palace were especially interested in Shang.
They had sacrificed over 30 million Archmages.
That was about a quarter of all Archmages living inside the Judgment Palace Empire.
It was a mass genocide that hadn't been seen in a long time.
Naturally, not everyone was happy with the plan.
