'I can't launch such a devastating Spell from such a distance. I should get closer to get him into my attacking range.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But his way of casting Spells is very strange. I've seen a couple of people that use weapons that are not Foci, but I've never seen someone not using a Focus that was this powerful.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the darkness around Shang's Subsis vanished, and he lifted his Addum again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Shang slashed forward with all his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small but brightly shining object launched from Shang's Addum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man narrowed his eyes and moved his hand forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a powerful gravitational field appeared in the attack's way, changing its trajectory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about to miss the man by quite a wide margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the man's Focus released a powerful beam of gravity, directly shooting toward Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Shang got hit by that, all of his organs around the beam of gravity would be pulled in and destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shang vanished as he used Mana Step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he appeared directly beside the Missile he had launched earlier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's Addum touched Missile, and the attack vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Shang pointed his Subsis at the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spear of darkness hit the man's Mana Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Needle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only a couple of kilometers between the two, and the opponent couldn't evade such a fast attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Needle didn't do a lot of damage. It barely destroyed 10% of the opponent's Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, at this moment, the man's eyes shone as he saw an opportunity to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had anticipated that Shang would try to save his missed attack from earlier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That attack had been insanely powerful, which meant that it cost a lot of Mana to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a waste to just let it miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the man decided to tank Shang's attack and launch his own in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's Focus exploded with a terrifying amount of Gravity Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was immediately immobilized. Not even his powerful body could resist that attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the man shoved his right hand forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying wall of gravity shot at Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's Mana Shield had just exploded, and Shang was shot into the distance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a miracle if Shang managed to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a Mage's body wasn't very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was thrown into the distance, completely out of Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gravity Wave seemed to have done quite a lot of damage as Shang spat blood. His body even withered in several places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man watched as Shang's body was thrown nearly a thousand kilometers into the distance, smashing through mountains and trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Shang's body stopped inside a crater it made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nearly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His bones were broken in several places, and he looked like an old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing was heavy and labored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man used a couple of Mana Steps to arrive above the dying Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were really powerful,\" he slowly said. \"You killed so many of our Mages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But all of this ends today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the Mage pointed at Shang and unleashed a powerful wave of gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground for several kilometers was pushed down, but the man only furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>200 kilometers away, Shang was spitting out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're out of Mana,\" the man said. \"Using Mana Step in such a situation will only delay the inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Die with some honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, fire and ice appeared around Shang as he shot into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man only snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a dying man's last gasp as he followed behind Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang was pretty fast. In fact, he was even faster than the Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Mage knew that Shang couldn't possibly keep moving so fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving at such speeds had to cost a lot of Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the chase continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mage kept flying after Shang, even needing to use Mana Step from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, the time between Mana Steps was long enough to regenerate all the used Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For nearly a full minute, the man just kept chasing after Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the man's brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn't Shang be out of Mana by now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, why did he still look so dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Mage would have shown some kind of recovery by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more questions appeared inside the man's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And eventually, his eyes widened in realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Concept of Purgatory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, as a talented Mage of the Judgment Palace, he knew all about the Death Affinity.

SHING! SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang used three Mana Steps to get close.
