Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang could barely process that they were actually being chased by someone belonging to one of the Mage Emperors before the person following them actually arrived just behind them.

"What do you want?" the Sweeper asked via voice transmission.

But then, the Ancestral Mage shot directly at her, his fists surrounded by a dense shroud of Darkness Mana.

The Ancestral Mage's actions shocked the Sweeper immensely.

Just this one action of shooting forward, trying to attack the Sweeper, created so many logical inconsistencies and questions.

The guy had to know that the Sweeper was very powerful, right? After all, he was a member of the Twilight Dusk Family.

But then, why was he attacking her at this moment?!

He should know that any kind of powerful Spell from the two of them would directly summon the Eternal Maw to this place!

So, was he trying to attack and kill them without using any kind of powerful offensive Spell? For fuck's sake, they couldn't even use Mana Shield here!

And even if he tried to actually kill her right here, how would that even work?!

They could both use Mana Step to retreat more and more, and those comparatively weak attacks wouldn't injure them that much.

Also, wouldn't the Ancestral Mage have a way higher chance of killing them if he just followed them until they left the area? At that point, they would probably just die to him.

And that wasn't even everything! By fighting here, either of the two combatants could just unleash a powerful Spell on purpose to attract the Eternal Maw. If they were about to die, might as well take the opponent with them, right?

What the fuck was going on?!

Literally what the fuck was happening right now?!

This made zero sense!

What could possibly happen to make a powerful Ancestral Mage do something this incredibly idiotic and illogical?!
