Chapter 2153 Deep Cold

"Old woman, what kind of joke are you kidding! Let us go back? It's absolutely impossible!"

Clark is really in a hurry now.

"Brother Joan and I were entrusted by the goddess of the Hades, we must go to the Temple of the Styx!"

The old witch shook her head again and again, not being lenient: "If you want to go to the temple, you two have to pass me first. If you can't even beat me, let you go...It will kill you in the end, why don't you go!"

"Mother-in-law, you are going too far!" Clark shook his head and smiled wryly.

The opposite one is the former "Chief Witch" of the Styx Temple. She had quasi-legendary mana during her lifetime. After being transformed into a lich, her strength has greatly improved. He and Joan might not be able to match this old witch together.

Granny Amanda sighed, her tone turned cold.

"I warn you one last time, either defeat me and prove that you have the possibility to reverse your destiny, or give me the 'spirit collar' now, go back the same way, and avoid trouble!"

"You are making things difficult for others!"

No matter how much Clark complained, the old hag remained unmoved.

The frost giant had no choice but to turn around and discuss with Joan.

"Brother, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. What do you think should be done?"

Joan thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "We have promised Ms. Hull to personally escort the 'spirit collar' to her kingdom of God. We must not break our word."

"The problem is that Grandma Amanda's level is difficult..." Clark scratched his head in distress.

"It is indeed difficult to defeat a quasi-legendary lich, but compared to the consequences of angering a goddess of death, the former is not a problem." Joan smiled calmly, "Besides, we are not completely without a chance of winning , I think you can give it a try."

Clark saw the strong self-confidence in the young mage's eyes, and he couldn't believe it while being relieved.

"Brother Joan, if Granny Amanda doesn't release the water, what chance do you think we have of winning?"

"I don't know her strength, so I can only make a broad estimate." Joan pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "If I challenge Ms. Amanda alone, the winning rate should be around 60%. If you count your elder brother, it's a conservative estimate." I'm also 80% sure."

Clark was stunned and couldn't speak for a long time.

He knew that Joan had a stable personality, and he always had to plan for the worst in everything, prepared multiple plans, and left more than one way out for himself.

You can suspect that this young mage is too cautious, but you can't find a trace of arrogance from his past words and deeds.

Joan said that he had a 60% chance of winning against Grandma Amanda. Based on what he knew about him, Clark speculated that Joan actually had at least a 70% chance of winning. Then there were two problems.

First of all, is Joan really that strong?

A 12-year-old mage who is only 17 years old dared to challenge a quasi-legendary lich. Would it be too exaggerated?

The second, and most frustrating question for Clark was...

"Not counting me, you have a 60% chance of winning, and I only have a 80% chance of winning, Brother Qiao An... Together with me, my combat power is only equivalent to one-third of yours, and I am just a useless piece of wood!"

"Brother Clark, you can't say that. The functional relationship between combat power and winning rate follows the principle of diminishing margins. It is much harder to increase the winning rate from 60% to 80% than from 0% to 20%." Joan explained.

"Hmm... Although I don't understand what you're talking about, it seems to make sense!"

Clark put on his gloves and turned to look at the old witch.

"Grandma Amanda, let's start now!"

The old witch nodded, and suddenly tore off the handkerchief wrapped around the cane, revealing the magic emblem engraved on the head of the cane, and an invisible magic power surged.

Joan and Clark were suddenly attacked by the magic emblem, as if countless steel needles were pierced into their skulls, and they immediately felt a strong headache!

Fortunately, both of them took the potion soaked in "Tears of God" in advance, and the effect of the medicine offset most of the mental attacks imposed on them by the fifth-level spell "Sign of Pain". The headache lasted less than three seconds and quickly subsided.

Granny Amanda has been observing the changes in the expressions of Joan and Clark, and found that they have overcome the severe pain in a short period of time, and there is a look of surprise in their eyes.

Surprised, the old witch had no intention of showing mercy. Before Joan and Clark came back to their senses, they teamed up with the magic pet standing on her shoulders—the Skeleton Witch Crow, and targeted the two of them to cast the powerful witchcraft "Ice Crow". mound"!

The two pale cyclones wrapped the frost giant and the young mage, injecting bone-piercing cold currents into their bodies, freezing water vapor along the way, and quickly forming a thick ice shell covering the whole body.

Cold magic has no effect on Joan, but the "ice mound" itself restricts his actions.

With his current strength level of 19 points, while the "ice mound" is not yet frozen solid, if he struggles hard and spends a little more time, he still has a chance to break free from the ice.

But Qiao An knew very well that Granny Amanda would not leave enough time for her to struggle, and the next deadly spell was probably already in preparation, so she resolutely activated the 5-ring spell "Instantaneous Spiritual Body", and the spiritualized body would pass through directly. Through the ice layer, get rid of the shackles of the "ice mound", and take a picture of "freedom of movement" for yourself.

At the same time that Joan was out of trouble, Clark also forcibly broke through the "ice mound" with his strong body, shook off the frost on his shoulders, and regained his freedom.

However, before she had time to catch her breath, Granny Amanda's next round of attacks came one after another. A pale beam of light popped out from her fingertips, hitting Clark first, and then refracting it onto Joan.

The attack came too fast, and with a quick glance, Joan could barely recognize that it was a 4-level spell that invoked negative energy and cold magic at the same time. It was very similar in nature..."Cold Flame"!

The moment he got hit, Qiao An felt chills all over his body, and the howling wind in the canyon blew on his face, making him shiver involuntarily.

This feeling was foreign to him.

Since wearing the "spirit collar", Joan has rarely been injured by cold spells, and the low temperature in nature has not hindered him, especially after the "spirit collar" has completed the third-order coherence, it stands to reason that it can absorb all cold spells Magic, why do I feel cold?

With doubts, he hastily opened the "inner vision" to check his own health.

Qiao An was surprised to find that he was affected by a negative effect called "deep cold". The body that absorbs cold damage was offset by "deep cold" and weakened to "half frostbite".

Clark, who was also hit by "deep cold", was in a worse situation than Joan.

The frost giant's innate immunity to cold was counteracted by the curse, and it completely lost its resistance to cold magic!

"Ringa!"

Granny Amanda chanted a mantra, raised her bone-like palm, and pointed her palm towards Clark, suddenly spraying a white and blue beam of light. Wherever it passed, ice flowers condensed in the air, as if a crystal clear bridge was built, and was blown by the gust of wind in an instant. blow off.
