Sword God in a World of Magic

Just now, Shang had used a peculiar combination of Reflection and World Connection.

Usually, Reflection could only reflect energy-based attacks, and neither water nor ice belonged to that group.

The reason was that Shang needed the inherent power of the attack to remain.

Shang wasn't able to use Reflection on ice since the force of the sudden stop would turn the ice into powder. Throwing that powder at the opponent wouldn't do anything, just like throwing water.

The same thing was true for earth since it would break apart into multiple pebbles, and metal would get completely bent to the point of uselessness.

However, by transforming ice into water and then solidifying the area around the weapon, Shang caught everything.

Then, he just needed to throw it back.

Since water was very flexible and stuck together, it didn't "break into pebbles".

It essentially passed through the ribbon in one piece, which then created one big and sharp icicle.

The circumstances had been perfect for this move, but this definitely wasn't something that Shang would be able to use often.

The circumstances had just been too specific.

Nevertheless, it had worked, and one of the serpent's claws had exploded.

BANG!

Shang didn't hesitate and immediately shot at the serpent.

But then, Shang gritted his teeth.

The ribbon appeared between them again, and he had to stop his attack again.

This gave the serpent time to react.

Yet, surprisingly, it didn't summon a new icy claw. It just kept using its remaining three claws.

'Sure enough, keeping this terrifying ribbon active is consuming a lot of Mana,' Shang thought, 'but it also stopped me several times already.'

The serpent readied another claw, planning on unleashing the terrifying attack again.

However, the serpent wasn't stupid.

This time, it made sure that its opponent wouldn't get the chance to use its ribbon to hurt it.

'Using Shock takes too much life energy.'

'Comet isn't fast enough.'

'Reflecting it also consumed life energy.'

'Blocking it will injure Sword and break my bones, which will also consume life energy.'

'It has over ten of these fingers remaining, and then there's that terrifying ribbon.'

'I can't win in the long run.'

'I have to end this as quickly as possible!'

Shang focused on the ribbon.
