Sword God in a World of Magic

The people in the arena couldn't believe what had happened.

Only after a couple of seconds did it register that Lucin had declared Shang as the victor.

He had won?!

He had killed Erel?!

"What happened?!" one of the Archmages shouted.

"Yeah, what happened?!" another one echoed.

"He shot forward, destroyed the Light Mana Domain, absorbed the Light Mana, and killed his opponent with one strike," an Ancestral Mage Cloud said.

While the High mage and Archmage Clouds couldn't see what had happened, the same thing wasn't true for the Ancestral Mage Clouds.

They were extremely talented and also an entire Realm above Shang. They had still been able to perceive most of the things that had happened inside the arena.

The weaker Clouds looked at the Ancestral Mage Cloud with shock.

How?!

"How did he destroy the light Mana Domain?" one of them asked.

"Not sure," the same Ancestral Mage answered.

"It was the Concept of Subtraction," a different Ancestral Mage said.

"Concept of Subtraction? I've not heard of that Concept," one of the Archmages said.

"It's an unusual one. It works on the basis of absorbing energy in all forms. It's made of Ice and Darkness Affinities and is a Complex Concept. It can absorb energy or weaken it. In this case, he used the Concept of Subtraction to get rid of the will on the Domain by using up his own Mana," the Ancestral Mage explained.

Shang wasn't surprised to hear that someone knew the Concept of Subtraction. The Concept of Subtraction might be a complete unknown outside, but here, there were only insanely talented people.
