Sword God in a World of Magic

Over the next couple of seconds, the peacock continued running while launching pathetic attacks.

It was still faster and more powerful than Shang.

Yet, it had severe problems with its focus.

Sometimes, it even forgot what it had just wanted to do.

Naturally, this was the effect of Shang's Needle.

One had to remember that Shang had constantly remained in a heavily injured state throughout the fight.

When he healed his old injuries, they were quickly replaced by new ones.

Shang had been in such an injured state on purpose to refill his Death Mana.

Additionally, whenever the peacock injured Shang, he received more Death Mana.

After eliminating the space between him and the peacock, Shang had filled the Needle with Death Mana with the Concept of Purgatory again.

When Shang had used Radiation earlier, the effects of Purgatory had been spread across the opponent's body.

Weaker muscles.

Less focus.

Slower.

Not as resilient.

However, Shang's Needle was a precision attack, and it focused all the effects of Purgatory on the spot it touched, which had been the peacock's forehead.

This meant that all the effects had been focused on the peacock's mind.

This put the peacock's mind into an early stage of dementia.

It was a weak and old mind in the body of a young and powerful beast.

The peacock wasted a lot of its Mana in weak attacks, and Shang could even focus on actually slowly inspecting his surroundings.

Instead of rapidly absorbing all the surrounding Mana with Void Break, Shang was using Void Break very slowly to look at all the Mana he was absorbing.

Naturally, this meant that Shang couldn't absorb as much Mana as usual and that it took several times longer.

However, the end result was that Shang could tell where all the foreign and hidden Blaze was located.
