Sword God in a World of Magic

A Peak Mage Lord.

A Mage who surpassed Shang by an entire Realm.

Was it possible to win this fight?

No.

Even if Shang used his most powerful attack, Fate, George would only lose about 20% of his Mana.

And then what?

George could easily replenish the lost Mana, while Shang would be unable to launch further attacks.

The cost was clear.

Lucius had understood the concept of entropy by sacrificing external mana, a process that took him a long time. But what could be better than experiencing it oneself?

By experiencing the true power of Entropy, Shang could understand the feeling of fading into nothingness.

The price?

Whatever Shang needed to sacrifice from his own body to comprehend the Concept of Transformation.

That was the price.

Shang had already sacrificed 15% of his soul to Entropy, and killing George would likely require sacrificing at least another 5%.

Naturally, Shang had often contemplated what he would sacrifice next, and he knew what he had to do.

As George prepared his spells, two small black lights appeared behind Shang's bandages.

It almost seemed as if a void was peering through the bandages at George.
