The Concept of Purgatory had an interesting effect on an opponent, which was very different from the effect it had on the user themselves.
The Concept of Sickness absorbed someone's Mana and life energy.
The Concept of Weakness weakened someone's defenses.
And the Concept of Purgatory put the effects of old age on the target.
Important to note was that the target wouldn't just continue to age indefinitely but that the strength of the effect was based on how much Death Mana Shang had used.
And what specifically did all of this mean?
Well…
Shang shot forward again, and the peacock released its Blaze again.
Shang could react in time and adjust his temperature.
The peacock was quite surprised again. Sure, it was quite far away, but it had also noticed that its attack wasn't as fast as usual.
Of course, that was to be expected.
