Sword God in a World of Magic

The Concept of Purgatory had an interesting effect on an opponent, which was very different from the effect it had on the user themselves.

The Concept of Sickness absorbed someone's Mana and life energy.

The Concept of Weakness weakened someone's defenses.

And the Concept of Purgatory put the effects of old age on the target.

Important to note was that the target wouldn't just continue to age indefinitely but that the strength of the effect was based on how much Death Mana Shang had used.

And what specifically did all of this mean?

Well…

Shang shot forward again, and the peacock released its Blaze again.

Shang could react in time and adjust his temperature.

The peacock was quite surprised again. Sure, it was quite far away, but it had also noticed that its attack wasn't as fast as usual.

Of course, that was to be expected.

Older people aren't as fast.

Then, the peacock noticed that Shang had come close to one of its mines and detonated it.

The mine detonated, but Shang managed to defend himself from it, even though he still got quite injured.

The peacock grew frustrated when it realized that it had detonated the mine a bit too late.

But that was to be expected.

Older people sometimes grew distracted, and they couldn't focus as well anymore.

Nevertheless, Shang had still received quite some injuries from the latest mine, and he had already used up over half of his life energy.

Shang also couldn't use Void Break since there were probably more mines placed around him.

There were still around 20 kilometers to go, and the closer he got, the more dangerous it would become. After all, even though the peacock wasn't as focused and fast as before, it was still far superior to Shang in these things.

In the distance, Shang could see the peacock preparing some kind of complex tornado.
