Sword God in a World of Magic

The Serpent was now in Shang's domain.

As soon as it realized that its body temperature was dropping, the humongous ball of lightning expanded to envelop the Serpent.

It absorbed parts of its own lightning to keep itself warm while also making it more difficult for the opponent to hit it through all the lightning.

Shang quickly saw his opportunity.

A terrifyingly cold wind gathered on his Great Sword.

And then, he slashed forward.

It looked like Shang would miss, but at the last moment, the length of his Sword grew by several times!

A humongous and icy edge formed in front of Shang's Sword!

The icy edge entered the ball of lightning.

WHOOSH!

However, the attack missed!

The ball of lightning had canceled out the Ice Mana inside the icy edge, dispersing it.

But the ball of lightning also shrank.

At that moment, part of the Serpent's body was revealed again.

More Ice Mana gathered on the Great Sword, and Shang slashed forward again.

CRACK!

The icy edge hit the scales and exploded!

However, the strength of the icy edge wasn't its hardness but its unreasonable sharpness!

Even though it shattered immediately, it still left behind a terrifying cut.

And that wasn't even everything!

The splinters of ice exploded in all directions, but nearly half of them exploded right into the cut the icy edge had just made!

The splinters were just as sharp as the icy edge and lodged themselves inside the Serpent's flesh.

But just moments later, they all dispersed into seemingly nothing. Of course, Mana didn't just vanish without using Entropy.

All the splinters transformed into Ice Mana and entered the Serpent's body, freezing it!

A sizable chunk of the Serpent's body was now completely frozen!

This was another one of Shang's new techniques in his Great Sword State.

Its goal was to leave a superficial injury on a target with terrifying defense.

Then, the hit part would cool down significantly and freeze.

Shang called this attack Frostbite.

At that moment, the Serpent realized that it was in a truly life-threatening situation, and it acted.

BOOOOM!

A huge portion of the ball of lightning exploded, bathing the surroundings in a terrifying wave of lightning.

However, an equally terrifying mass of Ice Mana gathered in front of Shang, canceling out the lightning.
