Chapter 507


    Shang knew that he couldn''t possibly beat Susan, but that also wasn''t his goal.


    Susan was the biggest issue for Jerald, and as long as Shang managed to distract Susan for a while, Jerald would be the one


    fighting her.


    Even though Shang was using Distortion to approach her, he could feel that Susan knew exactly where he was, which didn''t


    surprise him.


    Susan was a Peak High Mage, and she even had a Darkness Affinity. Darkness Affinities dealt with a lot of subterfuge and


    illusions, making them simr to Light Affinities.


    For a moment, the two of them only looked at each other.


    Then, Susan''s shoulder moved just a tiny bit.


    When fighting another person physically, looking at the shoulders was the best way to see when an attack wasing.


    As soon as Shang saw the slight movement, he immediately summoned all his Mana and life energy.


    Shang knew that he wasn''t fast enough to react to Spells after they were already cast, which meant that Shang had to guess


    what kind of Spell Susan was going to use and act appropriately.


    It was a guessing game for Shang.


    BANG!


    Just as Shang put his sword in front of him, a ck streak hit it.


    The ck streak was thin and barely visible, but the power inside it was horrifying.


    As the ck streak hit Sword, Shang''s entire body atrophied to a terrifying degree as he summoned more and more Light Mana.


    The spot where the streak and Sword touched started to shine brightly.


    Half of Shang''s body mass vanished.


    He barely looked like a skeleton with some skin.


    Shang gritted his teeth.


    Then, he grunted and pushed his sword to the side.


    CLING!


    The streak bounced off Sword and shot to the side, missing Shang.


    Shang had to take a deep breath after that.


    Originally, he wanted to use Reflection, but he just couldn''t muster enough Mana and life energy to make it work.


    His body was simply not powerful enough to reflect Susan''s casual Spell.


    Because of that, Shang changed Reflection to Refraction at thest second.


    Directly after using Refraction, Sword began to burn with ck fire, and Shang swung forward.


    Awave of ck fire shot at Susan.


    While still swinging upwards, Shang stopped his swing and held his Great Sword in front of him.


    TCHIIIIIII!


    The ck wave of fire was blown apart, and a wave of destructive ck energy hit Sword.


    Like a stone in front of a blowtorch, Sword cut apart the ck energy, resulting in most of it missing Shang.


    Most of it.


    Since the Great Sword State wasn''t as wide as the Colossal Sword State, the sides of the st still hit Shang''s shoulders and


    parts of his torso and legs.


    These parts immediately vanished, and Shang felt a terrifyingly powerful force of Darkness Mana entering his body, consuming


    his life energy.


    Then, Shang''s right eye shone.


    All the Darkness Mana inside of him suddenly transformed into Light Mana, healing his body.


    In just an instant, Shang was nearing his peak again, and the healing water he was receiving finished it.


    This was Abyss Cometh, one of Susan''s strongest Spells.


    Luckily, it didn''t only destroy the target''s body but also tried to poison them with Darkness. Without that secondponent,


    Shang wouldn''t have been able to heal his body this quickly.


    This had been the first time in Shang''s life that he had been poisoned by pure Darkness Mana. He had theorized that he would


    be able to transform this kind of Darkness Mana into Light Mana, but he had actually never tried it.


    Sadly, this only worked on pure darkness.


    Poison Affinities would still poison him sessfully.


    Just when the wave of darkness passed Shang, his sword caught on fire again and swung upward, releasing another wave of


    ck fire.


    When Shang''s Saber reached its peak, he immediately pulled it back and threw it forward.


    Star Shatter!


    He knew that he couldn''t block the next attack, and this was the best alternative.


    As soon as he threw his Saber, he immediately released three sts from his feet to jump upward.


    BANG!


    Athin, ck streak destroyed the wave of fire.


    Then, it flew past Star Shatter.


    CRACK!


    It hit Shang''s chest, his armor exploding into pieces.


    BANG!


    And everything below the middle of Shang''s chest exploded and shot into the distance.


    The healing water and Mana stoppeding from his armor since it had been obliterated.


    Shang could only grit his teeth and use his life energy and Mana to recover, his entire body regrowing in an instant.


    BANG!


    The sound of a loud collision reverberated throughout the battlefield.


    Star Shatter had hit Susan''s Mana Shield!


    When Susan felt 15% of her Mana vanish, she frowned and looked at the Long Sword touching her Mana Shield.


    Then, her fingers moved with imperceptible speeds, and she pointed at Sword with two fingers.


    When Shang saw that, his face whitened.


    BANG!


    Aconcentrated needle of Darkness and Metal Mana shot out of Susan''s fingers and hit the side of Sword''s de.


    CRACK!


    Shang''s expression turned to horror.


    Sword broke into pieces!


    Time seemed to stop as Shang saw Sword being thrown into the distance, only its hilt and a bit of its de left.


    However, Shang knew that Sword wasn''t dead yet.


    If this had happened in the past, Sword would have died without a doubt.


    Luckily, while creating Silence, Shang and Sword had made it possible for Sword to survive as long as it still had enough of its


    de left to rival a dagger.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Shang knew that Sword was still alive, but it was probably in immense pain, and it also wouldn''t be able to help in the fight


    anymore.


    SHING!


    Shang used Shock to grab Sword out of the air.


    “Are you ok?"


    "Can''t... help. Nearly... dead," Sword answered with difficulty.


    Shang couldn''t answer since he had to use Shock again.


    SHING!


    The terrifying ck streak shot past the spot where Shang had just been.


    SHING!


    Shang immediately used Shock again, and a small needle of Darkness and Metal Mana shot past him.


    Susan''s speed and offensive powers were absolutely terrifying!


    Shang had only managed to hit her once with Star Shatter.


    All the other times, Shang had been busy with barely surviving.


    As Shang fought against Susan, his opinion of Jerald''s power reached new heights.


    ‘Jerald managed to fight Susan and four other Late High Mages at once for nearly 20 seconds.’


    ‘Meanwhile, I''m barely staying alive after only one second.’
