Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang knew that Lucius hadn't kept all of his abilities as the Child of Calamity a secret.

He had made some of his abilities public, but he had disguised them as something else.

"You can use Anti-Magic?!" the Lightning Emperor asked in shock.

"I don't know exactly how Lucius' Anti-Magic works," Shang said. "This is a Domain that I can use to turn Elemental Mana into Neutral Mana in exchange for parts of my body."

"In exchange for parts of your body?" the Lightning Emperor repeated. "This is..."

The Lightning Emperor became silent.

"Very different," he said.

"You called it Anti-Magic," Shang said. "You said Lucius can use something like that."

"He could," the Lightning Emperor said. "Since when did you have access to this Domain?"

"I comprehended it at the Peak of the Second Realm," Shang said.

Silence.

At this moment, the Lightning Emperor became incredibly shocked.

Peak of the Second Realm?!

"Lucius had something very similar," the Lightning Emperor said. "However, he only comprehended it as a Peak Ancestral Mage shortly before he became a Mage Lord."

"And yet, you comprehended it in the Second Realm?"

"However, your Domain is different in a fundamental way. Lucius didn't need to sacrifice anything for his Domain, but you need to sacrifice parts of your body."

"I'm certain Lucius couldn't do that."

This shocked Shang.

Shang had assumed that the Domain of Entropy was something that every Child of Calamity could use. After all, Abominations could also use it.

And yet, Lucius had only been able to use it as a Peak Ancestral Mage?
