The Lightning Emperor remained silent for a while as Shang just waited.
Then, he sighed.
"What's there to do?" he asked with an accepting voice. "I've known it this entire time, but I didn't want to confront it."
The Lightning Emperor looked to the side.
"Anti-Magic doesn't exist. It's just the power of the Abominations. I should know. After all, Lucius taught me a bit."
"He taught you?" Shang asked with a bit of surprise.
The Lightning Emperor nodded. "Back then, Lucius gave each one of us a lesson in Anti-Magic, as he called it, but I was the only one that managed to gain anything out of it."
"I learned how to transform Mana into Anti-Magic. Sadly, the Mana I use forever vanishes, and I can only unleash about 30% of the saved power."
