Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang let go of the tail.

BANG!

The tail slammed into the ground, destroying the earth beneath it. If Shang had kept hold of the tail, his spine would have most probably been broken. At that point, he would be unable to move, which would have been a huge issue in this fight.

As the tail hit the ground, a small explosion of blood appeared below it. Shang had consumed a huge amount of life energy from the snake's tail, making it weak. Because of that, it couldn't perfectly withstand the strong impact.

At the moment, Shang's left arm was swollen with life energy, and he felt like it was about to explode. However, that didn't matter.

Just as predicted, the snake's head shot towards Shang. It would be difficult for Shang to block that attack with his sword in his position, but he didn't plan on doing that anyway.

Shang's arm pointed downwards.

BANG! BANG!

Shang released a Fire Blast and an Ice Blast in rapid succession. The knockback of the two blasts shot him upward for a couple of meters, and the snake's attack missed.

Shang's arm was nearly destroyed again, but it quickly regenerated thanks to it being filled to the brim with life energy. In nearly an instant, Shang's arm was in peak condition again, and its life energy got depleted.

Right now, Shang was over five meters above the snake.

As Shang stopped in the air, his eyes became cold as he readied his sword.

CRRR!

A new coat of metal appeared around the snake's tail, and it sharpened the tail in an instant.

Shang had just stopped in the air when the tail had already transformed into a blade again.

Shang had already expected that this would happen.

'I can't absorb all the metal instantly during an attack. Even if I could, the sheer weight and force behind it would destroy a huge part of my body.'

The snake readied both its head and blade as it looked at Shang.

'If the head hits me, my death is certain. If the tail hits me, I won't immediately die, but I will be severely injured. I can't block both attacks at once.'

'I have to end it here!'

Shang had already anticipated this situation.
