Sword God in a World of Magic

Shang only looked at the ditant Duke Torrent.

"For winning the war, it would be tupid not to accept your offer."

"However, accepting your offer would nullify half of the reaon why thi war even tarted in the firt place."

Duke Torrent narrowed her eye. She definitely didn't like what he wa hearing.

"We want the warrior to finally have a place where they can thrive, but that i only half of the reaon."

"Duke Whirlwind i a human jut like all of u, and a a human, he ha hi own deire."

Shang lowly took out hi word.

"And hi greatet deire right now i revenge."

Duke Torrent immediately tarted to cat everal Spell.

She had never epected that they would refue her offer, but he wa till ready to act.

The warrior felt like their end had arrived.

They would die to Duke Torrent today.

However, Shang wan't worried.

He couldn't receive any healing or Mana right now, but all hi augmenting Spell were till active.

Hi peed, power, defene, thinking peed, perception, regeneration rate, life energy torage, and Mana torage were till booted.

Fighting againt an average Late High Mage would very likely reult in Shang' death normally, but thi wa not the cae with the current Shang.

A oon a Shang readied hi word, hi urrounding tarted to ditort and tranform.

The air, water, and earth around him tarted to fall into piece and tranform into pure Mana.

All of thi took a while to decribe, but Shang had actually already hot forward a oon a all of thi happened.

SHING!

Shang releaed Shock, but thi time, there wa no black treak.

Shang had activated hi Domain of Entropy, and he generally only ued that during one ituation.

In an intant, Shang arrived in front of Duke Torrent.

Hi peed wa far fater than Duke Torrent had anticipated.

Neverthele, he had already readied one of her peronal Spell.

Water drop gathered around her body, and an intant later, green wind urrounded them.

BANG!

The water droplet eploded outward at peed that could only be achieved by uing a Concept from the Wind Element.

SSSHHH!

Yet, the droplet between Shang and Duke Torrent vanihed a oon a they reached Shang.

Below Shang' armor, hi body began to deteriorate.

Then, Shang lahed forward.

Sword wa already burning with black fire.

Shang wa uing Silence from the get-go!

Shang couldn't allow Duke Torrent to kill any of the warrior here, which meant that Shang had to kill her in an intant.

Duke Torrent' eye widened when he aw that her Spell had failed.

How?!

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Five rapid eploion occurred around her, and her mind briefly topped a he felt over 40% of her entire Mana vanih!

How wa it poible for an Initial True Path Stage warrior to unleah uch devatating power?!

She immediately activated Mana Step, but the Mana that left her body to create the Spell alo vanihed in an intant!

She couldn't comprehend what wa happening right now!

Shang unleahed another five attack, and Duke Torrent fell into a panic.

She ued everal Mana Step in quick ucceion. Whatever wa topping her from unleahing Mana Step mut have ome ort of limit or cot aociated with it!

BANG!

At that moment, Duke Torrent left with an eploion. By uing o many Mana Step, he had created a humongou Mana Step that took her over five kilometer away.

Shang had not interfered thi time.

Shang' body had already atrophied to a horrifying degree, and hi kin had already vanihed below the armor.

If he topped thi many Mana Step, he might not be able to continue fighting.

Duke Torrent had moved o far away that he couldn't feel Shang anymore, but Shang could till feel her due to hi gigantic Spirit Sene.

Shang readied hi word, which had turned into a hort word by now.

SHING!<ub></ub>

Shock!

Shang releaed three Shock and arrived in front of Duke Torrent in le than a econd.

Duke Torrent had been prepared to flee, and her Focu had already readied another Spell.

A powerful beam of concentrated water upported by the harpne and peed of wind hot directly at Shang.

SHING!

Shang releaed hi lat Shock to arrive behind Duke Torrent, making her Spell mi.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Then, Shang releaed Anger a he deactivated hi Domain of Entropy.

CRACK!

The ith attack detroyed Duke Torrent' Mana Shield, and Shang immediately lahed her Focu to the ide, turning it into fragment.

Duke Torrent could only look with horrified eye at Shang.

She couldn't accept reality at thi moment.

Shang dropped hi word and lunged forward.

Hi body barreled over Duke Torrent, throwing both of them to the ground.

Shang wa above her, and hi right arm wa gripping her throat tightly.

At that moment, Duke Torrent felt a powerful force come from Shang' right hand, and he felt her body atrophy a her life energy wa iphoned out of her.

She tried to creech in terror, but Shang' grip on her throat made it impoible.

She could only look with terrified eye at the image in front of her eye.

Since Shang' Domain of Entropy had detroyed hi kin, blood wa now eeping out from all the little hole and crevice of hi armor. Even the eyehole of hi armor were leaking blood onto Duke Torrent' body below him.

Duke Torrent had never been thi terrified before.

To her, it felt like an eternity had paed.

She felt herelf vanihing.

She felt like he wa being eaten by ome kind of demon.

Her death wa o cloe.</anda>

And then, the aborbing force receded and vanihed.

Yet, the grip on Duke Torrent' throat wa till tight, topping her from aying anything ele.

For everal agonizing econd, the terrified Duke Torrent only looked at the bleeding eyehole of the black armor above her.

Then, more econd paed.

Thi moment o cloe to death but not actually dying wa agonizing for Duke Torrent.

The uncertainty.

If Count Sword wanted to kill her, he could have killed her already.

But he hadn't killed her.

"Your death i certain," the black armor above Duke Torrent poke in a cold and rapy voice.

She couldn't react to thee word.

She wa jut in too much horror.

"But the manner in which you die and the fate of your loved one i not certain."

By now, Duke Torrent could proce ome of thee word, and thee word terrified her.

At that moment, two light foottep echoed throughout the wamp around them.

Duke Torrent' Spirit Sene wa till working, and he aw what had jut happened.

Duke Whirlwind had jut landed beide the two of them, and he wa looking at her with the coldet eye he had ever een in her life.

For everal econd, he only looked apathetically into Duke Torrent' terrified eye.

"Sophia, Bryton, Kerrington, Lucia…"

Duke Torrent' terror reached even greater height.

Duke Whirlwind had jut recited all the name of her family and friend!

"Will you let your crime be their crime?" Jerald lowly aked.

"Will you accept death for your punihment, or will you force yourelf and all your loved one into a fate wore than death?"

"Will you let me read your mind and die with dignity, or do you want to doom your family and friend into an eternity of torture and uffering?"

Jerald only looked with unending apathy at Duke Torrent.

"Which will it be?"

"I'm not above killing innocent people anymore."

"That mindet died together with my on."
