In the beginning, the Ice Mana in New Moon only consumed a bit of the Council members' Mana, but just a bit later, it started to rapidly consume their Mana.
All of the Ice Mana inside New Moon was rapidly moving at them.
It was almost like Shang wanted to drown them in it.
Usually, Shang used New Moon against beasts to make it easier to blast around and to use Frostbite and Piercing Cold, but these two attacks didn't help against Mages.
The power of these attacks was low, and they were aimed at breaking through armor, not Mana Shields.
Because of that, Shang was simply shoving as much Ice Mana as he could at them, consuming their Mana.
The two Mages were surprised that Shang could summon such a powerful domain of ice.
They hadn't heard about that ability before!
However, they were not inexperienced, and they knew how to deal with such domains.
SHING! SHING!
They both used Mana Step and retreated from the domain.
