Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang only took a couple of seconds to arrive at the place.

At the moment, one of the Adepts was keeping the Ice Demon busy by summoning several walls of earth while the other ones were bombarding it.

The Ice Demon was a mix between a lizard and a humanoid. It usually moved on all fours, but it could also stand up for a bit to strike its enemies with its five long, icy claws.

Ice Demons could summon and dissipate their long ice claws at will, giving them the option to run quickly without the ice claws getting in the way and the option to attack with devastating force.

The Ice Demon kept jumping around, trying to get past the walls. Whenever it jumped, it summoned its icy claws to strike, which were over two meters long.

There were a couple of cuts on the Ice Demon's body, which bled quite a bit. Shang guessed that these cuts came from the Adept with green hair and green robes. He was obviously a Wind Adept.

There were also a couple of big icicles stuck in its body, which came from the Adept with the icy blue hair.

'Ice Affinity, huh?' Shang thought. 'Why would someone with an Ice Attribute want to kill beasts with Ice Affinities? That would only make their life difficult.'

'Seems like the Ice Demon really got the drop on them.'

The Ice Demon slashed through several walls, and it eventually hit the Earth Adept, a rather tall man with brown hair.

Shang only kept watching.

"Somebody, help!" the Ice Adept shouted in fear.

Shang didn't react and stayed hidden.

When the Ice Adept saw that no one reacted, she gritted her teeth. "I know that you are there. I can feel your Ice Mana."

Shang only snorted silently. 'Feel my Ice Mana? Who would believe that? I learned how to isolate myself from the surrounding Mana long ago. There is literally zero Ice Mana inside my body right now.'

The fact that the Ice Adept had said that she could feel Shang's Ice Mana basically confirmed Shang's guess.

She knew that he was here, but she said the wrong reason.

If she were innocent, knew that Shang was there, and truly wanted help, she would have said the real reason why she knew that Shang was there. After all, there was no reason to lie.

The face of the Ice Adept morphed into a frustrated grimace as she realized that Shang wasn't answering.

She threw a look at the Ice Demon, who had destroyed the Earth Adept's Mana Shield. Right now, the Wind Adept was running around the Ice Demon with incredible speed, distracting it while the Earth Adept kept using his Focus to save the Wind Adept a couple of times.
