Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang was barely in a condition to dodge. Even more, the Ice King had become much more accurate with its claw attack.

So, Shang was forced to do the only thing that could give him some value out of this clash.

Shang pointed Sword right at the approaching claw.

CRACK!

The ice around Sword exploded everywhere while the ground beneath Shang turned into a crater due to the Ice King's sheer force.

Sword's handle was pushed back, breaking Shang's arms, hitting the black chest plate, punching a hole in the chest plate, and lastly, burying itself into Shang's gut.

Like he had been pierced by a thrown spear, Shang was thrown into the distance by Sword.

However, receiving this injury wasn't for nothing!

Sword had pierced through the Ice King's paw, coming out of the other side!

Icy blue liquid poured out of the paw, and the Ice King's eyes became even more infuriated.

Shang and Sword quickly used their power to get Sword's handle out of Shang's body as they flew into the distance.

SHING!

And then, Shang's armor vanished.

His armor had weakened the injury by a lot, but now, it was only a hindrance.

It had a huge hole in the middle, and the bent metal had buried itself into Shang's body.

The armor had transformed from protection into a hindrance, which was why Shang quickly put it into his Space Ring.

But just like before, the Ice King immediately reached Shang again with its incredible speed.

Its injured paw didn't even slow it down!

Shang had already healed his injuries, but he was starting to run low on Mana. He only had around 40% left.

Meanwhile, the Ice King kept releasing insane amounts of Ice Mana in wide attacks. It was almost like it had a bottomless well of Mana!

BANG!

As the next strike approached, Shang used several Ice Blasts to shoot over the claw. Due to the previous injury, the Ice King had stabbed its claws forward instead of slashing, giving Shang a chance to avoid the attack.

Shang flew over the attack and approached the Ice King's head.

But then, Shang's eyes widened as he looked into the opened maw of the Ice King.

A terrifying amount of Ice Mana had gathered in its mouth.

Shang felt death approaching.
