Affinities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, these Affinities became less rare the more Shang advanced since these people were being searched for by the Empires and protected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beginning, they might be a thousand people amongst trillions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they might be a thousand people amongst billions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, they might be a thousand people amongst a couple of million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still rare to fight someone like that outside of extreme places like the Hibye, but it was no longer unfathomably rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second later, Shang's opponent appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a young man with a serious expression and silver hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore robes made of different shades of grey, and Shang recognized these robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, foreign Mage Lords arrived in the Hibye due to the Ancestral Sword from the Weapon Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these Mage Lords came from other Empires, and these people all wore the uniforms of their respective Empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they wanted to make a good and powerful impression while going to a different Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of the Lightning Manor had purple robes, but they rarely wore them inside the Empire since the Lightning Manor was far more relaxed than other Empires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Twilight Dusk Family wore black and white robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these robes with different shades of grey were worn by the people of the biggest and most powerful Empire, the Judgment Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what Shang had heard, these robes were designed like this to show that life and death are not as different as they appear to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The darker shades of grey represented death, and the lighter shades of grey represented life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what was the point where life ended and death began?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there a point?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the robes were designed in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang could feel a strong feeling of threat emanating from his opponent, which allowed him to gauge his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a twofold Spirit Sense, which meant that he probably belonged to the top one percent of Ancestral Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant that, even without his Affinity, he could join the Lightning Manor as a Spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks were the lowest members of the Lightning Manor, but they still represented the peak of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still very impressive to become a Spark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, there was still quite a distance between a Spark and a Boltling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to his Space Affinity, this Mage probably joined the Judgment Palace in an equivalent position to a Boltling, even though he wasn't nearly as strong as one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, all of that didn't matter so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he was a very talented Mage that was four levels above Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang took a deep breath and readied himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jester slowly lifted his hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bell rang, and Shang charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage opened his eyes and looked directly at Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man swung his arm to the side, and in an instant, Shang felt like the distance between him and his opponent enlarged severalfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang seemed to slow down drastically, but that was only an illusion caused by the expansion of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man quickly started to ready several Spells, and Shang noticed that this was quite troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't use darkness since he is so far away, and if I charge there normally, he would have already prepared several Spells.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I can't allow him to prepare more Spells!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shang's surroundings started to turn into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domain of Entropy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's body started to vanish slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the space between Shang and his opponent was vanishing far quicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, Shang couldn't destroy as much with his Domain of Entropy, but the space in front of him was just that, space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage had enlarged the space, but he couldn't make more air and earth to fill the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enlarged space wasn't empty, but it was like everything inside the space had been stretched, reducing its density.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount of Mana inside the additional space was the same, but the density was far lower, which increased the overall volume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Shang's Domain of Entropy could destroy a huge part of the Space Mana for only very little cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Shang had improved his Domain of Entropy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could enlarge his Domain of Entropy significantly at the cost of having to destroy irrelevant Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Shang's Domain of Entropy enlarged to a size of several kilometers, destroying all the Space Mana around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many additional kilometers of space were destroyed in less than an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In comparison to normal kinds of Mana, Space Mana didn't have a speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was always present at all times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that the surrounding space didn't need to fill in the void that Shang left behind by destroying Space Mana since there technically had never been a void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between Shang and his opponent returned to normal, and Shang swung his Subsis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A corridor of darkness was summoned, surrounding both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage was quite surprised that Shang managed to destroy all the additional space he had created, but he immediately reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang appeared in front of the Mage, but just an instant later, the distance between Shang and the Mage enlarged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it was more problematic than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Shang had already traveled several kilometers into the enlarged space, which meant that he had been surrounded by Mana with low density.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was standing at its edge, and if Shang enlarged his Domain of Entropy now, he would also destroy all the Darkness Mana around him with average density.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even worse, the Mage had been incredibly smart and had reduced the density of Darkness Mana around him to such a degree that Shang couldn't even travel to that place with the Concept of Twilight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang quickly analyzed his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Got no other choice,' he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang used Void Break to absorb back all his Darkness Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Mage saw that, a twinkle appeared in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why Shang didn't originally want to use Void Break this early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like this definitely knew how to counter Void Casting, which would also counter Void Break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that this only worked once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next time Shang used Void Break, he might fall into a trap and die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, Shang managed to get rid of all the Mana surrounding him, and before the surrounding Mana filled the void, Shang enlarged his Domain of Entropy to consume all the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enlarged space between him and his opponent vanished again, and Shang shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His opponent was barely a couple of meters in front of him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible for him to evade.\u003C\u002Fp>",1127,"2026-06-06T04:07:23.285Z",1,"novelbin.me","730b7d5f3bc9ee9ebb86db3f5e92c6855b3da5221a509a26fb4117420d81a7d8","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-800","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-798",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
