Sword God in a World of Magic

CRACK!

Another one of Shang's swords broke.

SHING!

One of Shang's tentacles was cut off by the Archivist's floating sword and torn apart.

As Shang's weapons slowly started to vanish, more and more attacks hit him.

With fewer weapons, Shang couldn't defend himself as well anymore.

Kali glanced at Gregorio.

Gregorio didn't show any reaction.

By now, Kali wasn't certain anymore whether or not she had judged Gregorio's demeanor correctly.

She had thought that Gregorio trusted Shang's power, but maybe he had just grown apathetic to the outcome.

Kali knew Gregorio, and she could imagine that Gregorio felt quite some regret regarding supporting such a monster.

Gregorio was not telling Kali to watch, but he also wasn't telling her to interfere.

If Gregorio trusted Shang's power, he should have told Kali and Linastra that they didn't need to worry.

Yet, he wasjust doing nothing.

Kali looked back at Shang and noticed that his speed of regeneration wasn't nearly fast enough to keep up with the new images.

Then, Kali looked at Abaddon and realized that he was about 70% done.

At this moment, plans formed in Kali's mind.

The Archivist didn't care who won. He only cared about killing the Child of Calamity.

So, when Shang died, the Archivist would also leave.

This meant that they would only need to fight five Emperors.

And when Abaddon became a Mage Emperor, that wouldn't be a problem.

Even more, Shang, this ridiculous monster, would be dead, giving Abaddon sole power over Aterium!

After some calculations, Kali realized that Shang would die when Abaddon was only 80% done.

At that moment, all the Emperors would immediately attack them, and with Gregorio's apathetic mindset, it was very likely that he would only watch.

'The warrior needs to survive for longer,' Kali thought

The next moment, Kali looked at Linastra, who nodded back.

BANG! BANG!

Kali and Linastra shot towards the Emperors and attacked them.

With fury and hatred, the Emperors stopped attacking Shang in order to deal with Kali and Linastra's attacks.

The Archivist glanced over, but he wasn't worried.

The Child of Calamity had lost over half its limbs, and it couldn't defend itself from the Archivist's attacks anymore.

The only thing Kali's and Linastra's interference accomplished was to give Shang a bit more time to live.

Naturally, the Archivist knew that this was exactly their goal, but he didn't care.

The Child of Calamity would die, and that would be all that's important.

As Shang grew weaker and weaker, the Archivist glanced at Abaddon.
