nShang made his decision very quickly.

nHe shot over to the Focus and blew it apart with his Addum.

nAs soon as the Focus got destroyed, Cindy’s eyes shone.

nWHOOOOM!

nCindy released even more of the strange Ice Mana, and since there was no more new Fire Mana entering the arena, the white wall moved downward.

nAt this moment, the destructive white wall was coming closer and closer to Shang.

nThere was no escape.

nShang had to very quickly evaluate all his options and come up with a plan.

nGhost Step? Useless.

nComet? Useless.

nChanging Temperatures? Useless.

nDestroying the will? That would nearly kill Shang and use up all his life energy. He might survive, but getting through the wall didn’t mean winning the fight. Cindy still had Mana left, and with Shang nearly dead, she would most likely win.

nAbsorbing the Mana? Impossible due to the will.

nReflecting the Spell? Not possible.

nRefracting the Spell? Not possible.

nIncrease or decrease the mass in the surroundings? Won’t work.

nRelease more Fire or Ice Mana to attack the border? That would just reshape the border, not get rid of it.

nDestroy the Fire Mana around him? That would make the area smaller, speeding up the approach of the border.

nFill the surroundings with Fire Mana to change the density? The weird Fire Mana would adapt the properties of the normal Fire Mana, and everything around Shang, including himself, would explode.

nShang took a deep breath as the white border approached.

n‘Seems like I can’t win without showing some powers of the Child of Calamity,’ Shang thought.

n‘Several Mage Lords, and maybe even a Mage King, are watching the fight, which is why I didn’t want to use any of these abilities. However, that’s still better than dying.’

n‘If I don’t use them, I will die. If I use them, I might still survive.’

n‘I only hope that the conclusion I have come to earlier isn’t wrong.’

n‘People know of the Child of Calamity, but they don’t know what the Child of Calamity can do.’

n‘If that’s true, no one will suspect that I am the Child of Calamity.’

n‘Well, I don’t really have a different choice anyway.’

nShang readied his swords and shot upward.

nIn an instant, he reached the border.

nWHOOOOOOM!

nAnd then, everything around Shang started to transform into nothingness.

nDomain of Entropy!

n

nThe Domain of Entropy simply transformed everything into neutral Mana, including the border, and it wouldn’t even consume a lot of Shang’s body since he only had to get rid of the little bit of Mana that made up the border and not all the Mana in the arena.

nShang’s Domain of Entropy worked very differently from the Concepts of Subtraction and Addition.

nAs soon as Shang reached the border, the white border just vanished.

nAt this moment, Shang was in the middle of the border, but there was a grey area around him, splitting the border in two.

nAnd then, he passed the border.

nZZZZZZZZZ!

nThe area below Shang continued exploding, but Shang was unaffected.

nHis Domain of Entropy had also gotten rid of the Fire Mana inside his body.

nAs soon as Shang entered the space filled with Ice Mana, Shang pointed his Subsis towards Cindy, its tip exiting Shang’s Domain of Entropy.

nCindy only watched Shang with shocked and terrified eyes.

nHow?!

nAnd then, Shang’s Subsis released a tiny bit of regular Frost Mana.

nCRK!

nAll the strange properties of the surrounding Ice Mana vanished, and all the strange Ice Mana was transformed into regular Ice Mana.

nIn an instant, the entire space above the border froze.

nDue to Shang’s Domain of Entropy, none of the Ice Mana had been around him, and since it had also lost its explosive properties, Shang had felt zero impact from the Ice Mana’s transformation.

nHowever, the intense freezing effect of the Ice Mana would have put a huge strain on Cindy’s Mana Shield.

nShang felt the surrounding Ice Mana, and he could feel that Cindy’s will was still on it.

nThat meant that Cindy was still alive.

nHowever, that wasn’t a big problem.

nA terrifying amount of Ice Mana shot out of Shang’s body as his own body became hotter and hotter.

nAnd then, Shang shot forward with his Subsis pointed forward.

nThe penetrating effect of Shang’s Subsis cut the solid ice in front of him apart, and the temperature of Shang’s body was kept at a healthy level.

nThis was not an attack shooting at Shang but Shang shooting forward. This meant that the speed at which Shang traveled through the ice was decided by him, making it extremely easy to manage his own temperature.

nShang shot through the ice at extreme speeds, and he arrived at the spot where Cindy had been earlier in nearly an instant.

nCindy wasn’t there anymore, but Shang could feel the slight difference in the ice around him, which meant that Cindy had dug away and created a wall of ice behind her.

nMana Step couldn’t be used to move through solid objects, and this ice was solid.

nEven more, they also couldn’t feel each other with their Spirit Senses for the same reason.

nShang kept charging forward, following the trail.

nAnd then, Shang felt Cindy.

nWhen they were only 50 meters apart, Shang could feel Cindy with his Spirit Sense. Sure, the solid matter made Spirit Senses nearly useless, but Shang could still see the 50 meters around him.

nCindy hadn’t noticed him yet due to the difference in their Spirit Senses.

nShang pulled his Addum back and slashed forward.

nBOOOOOOOOM!

nEverything for 500 meters in front of Shang exploded!

nCindy’s Mana Shield vibrated under stress.

nBOOM!

nSince all the ice was now gone, there was now nothing between Cindy and Shang.

nHow long would Shang need to travel 50 meters through the air without any obstruction?

nCindy couldn’t even react.

nShang immediately arrived beside her, and he hit her Mana Shield with his Addum.

nCRACK!

nThe Mana Shield exploded.

nCindy stopped thinking in horror.

nThe last thing she saw was Shang’s Subsis moving toward her eyes.

nSHING!

nShang’s Subsis stabbed through Cindy’s head, and an instant later, her body started to wither and decay as Shang’s body recovered.

nThe fight was over.
