Sword God in a World of Magic

The two Mage Lords faced each other as their Foci started to spin quickly.

Lord Starsky and his friends still had no idea how powerful the Mage Lord in front of them actually was, which was why they were careful.

However, they doubted that the foreign Mage Lord was more powerful than Lord Starsky. After all, Lord Starsky was a Late Mage Lord.

The silence between the two of them was tense.

Suddenly, an impossibly bright bolt of lightning shot out of Lord Starsky's hands!

At the same time, Lord Starsky's Focus replaced all the Mana in the surroundings with Water Mana, essentially creating a huge sea in the sky that wasn't actually a sea.

While all of this was happening, the Mana in the surroundings seemingly vanished.

For just an instant, Shang felt like all the Mana in the world had vanished.

Then, all the Mana was replaced with Water Mana, and the violent bolts of bright lightning stretched into the horizon as they turned everything into a proverbial and literal sea of lightning.

Lord Starsky's two friends were protecting Star City from his Spell. Otherwise, the surrounding 50 kilometers or so would have been turned into dust.

The sheer powers of destruction made it impossible for any Spirit Sense to see what was going on.

All of this had happened in just a fraction of a second.

The normal Mana vanished and was replaced by Water Mana, which was then effectively replaced with Lightning Mana.

There wasn't a single person below the level of a Mage Lord that hadn't been shocked.

It was just one move, but this single move showed the difference between an Ancestral Mage and a Mage Lord.

When Shang felt the sheer power, he felt like a completely new world had been opened to him.

Back when Shang had seen the Storm Eagle fly past Warrior's Paradise, he had felt its power. If it wanted, it could have turned Warrior's Paradise into rubble.

Yet, Lord Starsky…

If he wanted, he could have turned the entire Storm Eagle Zone, including the Storm Eagle itself, into a crater.

The Storm Eagle would be just as helpless in front of Lord Starsky as a Soldier Stage beast would be in front of the Storm Eagle.

Lord Starsky could release an explosion so massive that the Storm Eagle would be turned into dust like any other beast.
