Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang slashed toward the serpent.

CRK! CRK! CRK!

Yet, an instant later, powerful icicles shot out of the serpent's body, and Shang's sword broke through them.

CRACK!

Suddenly, a wall of spiky icicles shot toward Shang, but Shang managed to finish his slash.

CRACK!

The wall broke apart, but no blood appeared.

Suddenly, the world around Shang started to change.

Black clouds gathered, and water seemingly exploded out of the sky in a torrential downpour.

Some isolated bolts of lightning illuminated the surroundings, which had suddenly turned dark.

As soon as the drops of water reached a certain distance, they transformed into terrifying icicles that seemed to break through anything they touched.

At the moment, the serpent was several kilometers away from Shang.

It had created a tyrannical armor made of icicles, transforming its exterior into a rough and jagged meatgrinder.

One small part of its body had no icicles on it, which was the part that Shang had tried to attack.

Earlier, the serpent had just exploded that piece of icy armor off its body and shot it right toward Shang.

Shang knew that this move could prove to be a problem in the fight.

The serpent gathered its power, but Shang wouldn't give it the time to fully prepare itself and shot forward again with another Shock.

Yet, just when Shang arrived, he felt the pressure in his surroundings intensify.

The air around him became frighteningly cold, and the serpent opened its maw.

A moment later, a terrifyingly cold stream of Ice and Water Mana exited its maw, and it began to circle the serpent's body.

Shang had to stop his advance at that point since the stream had created a domain of absolute cold, and the added Water Mana made it even worse.

Usually, a Dual-Affinity of Ice and Water wouldn't seem very dangerous, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
