Any Spell that tried to attack or restrict the Abomination by encompassing them in Mana essentially became worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably not even a Mage Emperor could stop Shang in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang saw Wester's serious grimace, he had to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn't it interesting?\" Shang asked. \"We've been here for a while. Gregorio knows of my location. Gregorio probably also knows of your location. You've unleashed several Spells.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And yet, he hasn't shown himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wester narrowed his eyes as he prepared some other Spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he's undecided,\" Shang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, 18 balls of lightning, metal, and light appeared around Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 18 balls turned into beams and focused all their power on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shang's Domain expanded a bit, encompassing all the beams, and in an instant, they all turned into Neutral Mana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Wester saw that, his eyes opened wide in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I-Iow?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those had been 18 genuine Spells!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were not some throwaway Spells that Wester had launched casually!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, these were actual Spells that he used in fights against powerful Mage Kings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They used the level six Concept of Lightning, True Lightning, the level six Concept of Metal, True Metal, and the level six Concept of Light, Eternal Light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their speed, penetration power, and explosive force were beyond powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, Wester couldn't comprehend what he had just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed physically impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, Wester noticed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had lost one of his tentacles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been the one that ended in the sable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Wester understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Abominations could sacrifice parts of their body for a power increase, Shang could probably do the same!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wester realized how Shang had been able to survive two seconds against that one Mage King in the Defender Flag in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the fight started, Shang hadn't even moved from his spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't even launched a single attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gregorio isn't sure what he should do,\" Shang continued talking like nothing had happened. \"I think he knows that we are fighting right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, six gigantic bars of metal appeared around Shang, and they began to spin rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spun, they released powerful bolts of lightning, which connected the bars with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Shang was surrounded by a terrifying sphere of powerful and aggressive lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, all the bars stopped spinning and pointed at Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And shot towards him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Domain of Entropy encompassed the bars, all the lightning weakened, but that was not the point of the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning had been used to speed up the bars, increasing their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wester's heart nearly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had he just seen?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, Shang had kicked two bars away, caught two in his hands, and parried the last two with a couple of his tentacles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he still hadn't moved from his spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should he help me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should he destroy me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think he's not sure what he should do,\" Shang said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Wester unleashed an apocalyptic beam of light!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Wester's strongest single-target Spell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It used a huge amount of Mana, and it focused all of its power on only a single point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's Domain of Entropy wouldn't be able to even get rid of 10% of its power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so fast that Shang couldn't possibly avoid it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so strong that it would punch through however many limbs Shang put in front of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, something moved between Shang and the beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Wester felt his Mana drain by over 30%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did his own Spell suddenly fire back at him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shang just chuckled as he moved the tentacle with the Colossal Sword back to its original position again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had used one of his old techniques, Reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, in order to gain the power to pull it off, he had to sacrifice one more tentacle, leaving him with only around 30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why he's letting us fight, Wester,\" Shang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One side represents the selfless goal of protecting the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The other side represents the selfish goal of sacrificing the world for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's not sure, Wester.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn't know what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang chuckled some more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And that's why he's letting us decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But deep down, he knows what will happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He only wants to feel like he gave the other option a sincere evaluation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has already committed to sacrificing the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wester's mind was trying to come up with a plan, but he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I show him What choice he truly made?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, Shang started to move towards Wester.\u003C\u002Fp>",1102,"2026-06-06T04:07:26.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","74079980363764eca31df9cbac72e6b97c3bafc3937e43995f5e265d47b148ea","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-992","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-990",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
