This Spell was called Wind Net, and it was made to counter fast beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang wouldn't be able to evade the Spell since its size was simply too large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRRRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang put his huge sword between him and the Spell. Luckily, Sword was hard enough to resist such a weak Spell. However, Sword also wasn't big enough to block the entirety of the Spell, and parts of the cutting wind hit the sides of Shang's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, several Magic Circles appeared around Shang, and the wind blades were being diverted with loud sounds of grinding. It was almost like a buzzsaw hit a diagonal wall of metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was it. Shang's armor glowed black, but it remained undamaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept looked with shock at the uninjured Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What is this armor?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This armor was the little present Duke Whirlwind had promised Shang when they had gone to King Skythunder about two years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could it block the killing blow of an Initial True Mage's Spell once, but it also had several other abilities, and one of them was to redirect force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also explained why Shang's armor looked so similar to the Dean's armor. Both of them had received their sets of armor from Duke Whirlwind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind pushed Shang back a bit, but he quickly unleashed another Ice Blast to fly towards the Wind Adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept was nearly completely out of Mana, which meant that he had either had no Mana Shield or a very weak one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison to him, the Ice Adept had far more Mana, making it more difficult to kill her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SSSHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a huge blizzard appeared between Shang and the Wind Adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Blizzard Spell!' Shang thought with narrowed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blizzard Spell created an extremely dangerous territory of absolute cold. It cost a lot of Mana, but it could freeze someone's entire body in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the control over Mana warriors and Mages had, creating a Blizzard Spell below their feet was basically impossible. Any interference on the opponent's part would ruin the entire thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, the Blizzard Spell could only be created at least a couple of meters away from the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in exchange, it was extremely deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a beast's body would be frozen if it jumped through the blizzard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Wind Adept saw the blizzard, he quickly readied his next Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Ice Adept readied a gigantic icicle, which pointed at Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, she threw the icicle just a bit behind Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had noticed that Shang could move in the air, and the only way out of this situation was to retreat to the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang entered the blizzard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Adept's eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he suicidal?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept didn't see it since he was on the other side of the blizzard, and he kept concentrating on his Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Shang entered the blizzard, it became more and more chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like something inside of it was affecting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And half a second later, the blizzard dissipated into the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, time seemingly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A snow-white sword was in Shang's hands, and it was filled to the brim with Ice Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Shang absorbed the blizzard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blizzard was filled with the Ice Adept's will, and Shang couldn't absorb something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang entered the blizzard, he had put his left hand on his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, he infused it with Ice Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's entire body heated up rapidly, but the extreme cold around him kept cooling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extremely dangerous balancing act, but Shang had had several years of training on how to manage his own temperature. A normal person couldn't pull something like this off, but someone that had to juggle his own temperatures daily had the skill to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the blizzard's Ice Mana had been used up. After all, it couldn't cool everything infinitely, and Shang had exhausted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in exchange, Shang's sword had been filled to the absolute brim with Ice Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept looked with shock at Shang, who was only a couple of meters in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang lifted his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Wind Adept disappeared as he spoke a short word very quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept appeared around 100 meters away and collapsed to his knees, clutching his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just overdraft his Mana by unleashing a Mana Step. Even his Focus fell to the ground beside him since the Wind Adept didn't even have the basic Mana to keep it active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept heard the distant explosion of a large amount of Ice Mana hitting something, and his heart nearly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had nearly died just now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck this mission!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept quickly turned to the Ice Adept. \"We have to- \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he stopped as his eyes widened in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Adept was enclosed in a huge cube of ice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Shang hadn't intended to use that attack on the Wind Adept, to begin with. While fighting against a group, the best thing to do was to suddenly change one's target to surprise them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Adept had been ready to attack Shang, but when the wave of Ice Mana suddenly flew towards her, she couldn't even react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, her Mana Shield held, and she managed to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was a thick sheet of ice surrounding her, and she would need to get out of it before rejoining the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept saw this, and he quickly glanced at Shang, who was still around 80 meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fuck that!' the Wind Adept thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Wind Adept quickly took out a talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a Wind Explosion Talisman, and, as the name suggested, it created a gigantic explosion of wind. It pushed everything around it over a hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a very expensive tool for escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wind Adept had seen Shang's speed, and he knew that Shang wouldn't be even nearly fast enough to reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang would need to travel 80 meters in less than 0.5 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the absolute fastest Peak Commander Stage warriors could achieve something like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang saw the emblem, a small smirk appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ishah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of the Wind Adept widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her frozen tomb, the Ice Adept looked at what had happened in absolute horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time seemingly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had she just seen?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between where Shang had just been, and the Wind Adept appeared a long crevice in the ground, almost like something big had been dragged through it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black gleam sparkled around the Wind Adept's body, showing that something big and black had just passed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And past the Wind Adept stood Shang, his Sword positioned like it was at the end of a swing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow and wind exploded out from the crevice, and the Wind Adept's body blew apart into several pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Ice Adept realized what had happened with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He used Mana Step!'\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-06T04:07:02.167Z",1,"novelbin.me","bcb80e205692d495b1f0a50b16fa17c668015014c574d50b46709b18fce95b3b","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-288","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-286",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
