Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang knew that he couldn't possibly beat Susan, but that also wasn't his goal.

Susan was the biggest issue for Jerald, and as long as Shang managed to distract Susan for a while, Jerald would be the one fighting her.

Even though Shang was using Distortion to approach her, he could feel that Susan knew exactly where he was, which didn't surprise him.

Susan was a Peak High Mage, and she even had a Darkness Affinity. Darkness Affinities dealt with a lot of subterfuge and illusions, making them similar to Light Affinities.

For a moment, the two of them only looked at each other.

Then, Susan's shoulder moved just a tiny bit.

When fighting another person physically, looking at the shoulders was the best way to see when an attack was coming.

As soon as Shang saw the slight movement, he immediately summoned all his Mana and life energy.

Shang knew that he wasn't fast enough to react to Spells after they were already cast, which meant that Shang had to guess what kind of Spell Susan was going to use and act appropriately.

It was a guessing game for Shang.

BANG!

Just as Shang put his sword in front of him, a black streak hit it.

The black streak was thin and barely visible, but the power inside it was horrifying.

As the black streak hit Sword, Shang's entire body atrophied to a terrifying degree as he summoned more and more Light Mana.

The spot where the streak and Sword touched started to shine brightly.

Half of Shang's body mass vanished.

He barely looked like a skeleton with some skin.

Shang gritted his teeth.

Then, he grunted and pushed his sword to the side.

CLING!

The streak bounced off Sword and shot to the side, missing Shang.

Shang had to take a deep breath after that.
