After a while, Shang left the branch of the Temple of Blood to continue comprehending the Concept of Addition in front of the Yellow Sunbreaker. 'As long as I keep growing more powerful, huh?' Shang thought. 'I don't think things are that easy.' 'It might have been that easy for the Keeper, but it doesn't mean that it will be that easy for me.' 'The Temple is not investing resources into the creation of Sweepers. Sweepers are not important enough to invest in. That means that my talent and potential…-

Shang didn't show any reaction for a while, but he knew that he actually didn't have a choice. Even if he were to use Entropy, he would probably need to sacrifice his entire body just to injure the Territory Lord. She was right. The gap in power was just too big, and Shang didn't have any choice. The Rune for the SKP floated over, and Shang put it into his mind. And then, he took it out again and handed it back to the Territory Lord, but this time, the Rune was grey and filled with Mana. To Shang, it…

After dealing with both corpses, Shang flew back to the branch. He got past the roots of the Yellow Sunbreaker and entered. Trapper still sat in the middle of the branch, and when he saw White Ghost return without Ice Princess, he knew what that meant. He felt a complex mix of emotions. He was frustrated that he hadn't been the one to "dominate", "conquer", and "ruin" Ice Princess. He was angry that Shang made it forever impossible for Trapper to realize this dream of his. He felt glad that the…

The Keeper didn't answer for several seconds. This was such an obvious lie that Shang was basically just directly making fun of her. He could just have said that Ice Princess had betrayed them. There was nothing wrong with taking care of a traitor. There might even be a reward. Yet, Shang came up with such an obvious lie. "What really happened?" the Keeper asked through the Communication Crystal. "Why ask a question you already know the answer to?" Shang asked with an even voice. Silence. "I'm…

Time seemed to stop. The thin and frail silhouette of Shang stood in front of the foreign Mage as three spirals of spinning metal were shooting at him. This was the moment that would decide the outcome of this battle. The white crescent. The white world. The black world. All of this was to make the two of them use up all of their Spells. Two Late Archmages could conjure Spells at a terrifying rate, and Shang's only option to get past that was to use up all of his resources in a single barrage of…

The two of them were preparing more Spells, but Shang almost immediately attacked them. The two of them had just used several Mana Steps, and Shang didn't want to give them an opportunity to recover. The foreign Mage was closing her eyes again, and Shang knew that she would most likely feel his attack coming. Shang's right hand let go of his Long Sword. SHING! His Long Sword vanished, and a Colossal Sword appeared in Shang's right hand. A bright burst of light came out of the Colossal Sword, and…

BANG! Ice Princess crushed the Spells she had gathered above her hand, and an instant later, gigantic icicles exploded out from the two of them, wildly spinning around them and destroying all of the images. The two of them were not some helpless damsels. The foreign Mage closed her eyes, her hair serenely billowing in the ethereal symphony of Mana around her. It was like she was fusing with her surroundings. Suddenly, her eyes shot open, and a bright light appeared in them. Her right hand immediately…

So, what was Shang's plan? He was quite sure that he was being watched by some powerful person from the Temple of Blood. However, he couldn't be sure why he was being watched. Was it a test for the position of Sweeper? Was it a loyalty test? Was it a way to make him unveil some of his secrets? Was his Battle-Strength being tested? Depending on the answer, it was best to show different things. If all of this happened simply to test his loyalty, the best course of action would be to take out his…

Shang and Ice Princess came closer to the target. At the moment, Ice Princess didn't act in any suspicious way, but Shang knew that it was only a matter of time. However, even if he was quite sure of his deduction, he still waited for the confirmation. In the end, the Keeper hadn't told Shang that he was supposed to kill Ice Princess. They might have had an implicit understanding, but such implicit understandings couldn't be trusted. After all, none of them ever verbalized their stance on the matter. …

Ice Princess kept looking at Shang with cold and hate-filled eyes. 'She seems to suspect something,' Shang thought. Shang would have expected Ice Princess to argue about getting a partner, but her reaction had been a bit too strong. Either she thought that Shang was supposed to keep watch over her, or she thought that Shang was supposed to kill her. However, Shang was pretty certain that it wasn't the second possibility. Ice Princess was too proud of her own power to think that anyone could possibly…
