Chapter 943 [0934] Scoring Twice
For Kalja, the battle with Lissandra was extremely stressful.
He had already experienced the power of the Frost Witch. If it weren't for the mixed power that gave Kalja an opportunity last time, even in the Chaos Storm, Kalja would not have been able to get the slightest advantage.
Considering that she had just devoured Volibear's power not long ago, I'm afraid this was far from Lissandra's peak.
And now, after Lissandra suffered a big loss, she will definitely be careful to avoid repeating the same mistake, and will definitely try her best to reconcile the multiple forces in her body. If she fights her one-on-one next time, Kalja has no chance of winning.
It is precisely for this reason that Kalja is sure that the other party will definitely be willing to fight - not only because of her provocation, but also because from Lissandra's perspective, whether she fights or not, she is sure to win. In this case, why should she indulge Kalja's nonsense there?
Through the battle of Delverhold, Kalja has an understanding of Lissandra, so isn't the situation the same for Lissandra?
Even if Kalya didn't reveal any obvious flaws, the fluctuations of magic power could not deceive people. Lissandra was very sure that the strength of Lord Kalya might not be as great as his reputation.
This is what Kalya wanted to see.
Only in this way could he lead Lissandra out of the Frostguard Fortress, let her stand in front of him, and give himself a one-on-one opportunity.
At this time, the coalition was Kalya's confidence and background. It was the existence of this coalition that forced Lissandra to choose a method that would cause less loss to herself.
And judging from the result of Lissandra's angry exit, Kalya's calculations succeeded.
Under his provocation, Lissandra did choose a plan that was as "safe" as defending the Frostguard Fortress, intending to take down Kalya in a one-on-one battle.
……………………
Although in the verbal provocation, Kalja tried her best to describe Lissandra as a coward, but in fact he knew better than anyone that the Frost Witch had nothing to do with cowards - although sometimes she would be calm and silent, and seemed different from the hot-blooded Freljord people, but that did not mean that Lissandra could swallow her anger.
So, when Kalja began to recite the letter of challenge, knowing that Lissandra would definitely take action, he was already preparing for the next battle.
The sand and gravel flowed out of the small world and accumulated into a rolling sand dune between the Frostguard Fortress and the Frost Bridge. The wind whistling from the Howling Abyss wanted to take away the sand and gravel, but although the wind blew up the dust and sand, and the golden sand and gravel fluttered, it was not difficult to find that the sand and gravel never left the range of the sand dunes.
This is Kalja's domain. These sand and gravel soaked in his magic are like a part of him. Even if he does not seem to control it carefully, it is still under his control.
Facing this sand dune, Lissandra just snorted with a little disdain, and then slid into it without hesitation and fear, like a moving iceberg.
The broken gravel was disturbed, and they turned into a shower of sand, eroding the iceberg from different directions, but the iceberg remained motionless and continued to slowly move towards Karya, as if these gravels were just ordinary.
"I am Lissandra, the Ice Witch."
"I am the wisdom of the three sisters and the remnant of the ancient Freljord."
"I am the guide of civilization and the witness of countless ups and downs."
"I have sat on the top of the mountains for a long time, watching the reversal of ocean currents and the changes of the world."
"Now, I am the eternal ice and the everlasting thunder."
"Challenger from Shurima, you are not naive to think that the dry sand can submerge the iceberg, right?"
"Even if you are standing between the Frostguard Fortresses, your eyes that have long been blinded by arrogance can only see the tip of the iceberg!"
Names and slogans are an indispensable part of the Freljord people before a duel.
As if she had some kind of recognition for Karya, Lissandra finally announced her name again after many years. Although compared to many guys who like to give themselves many titles, Lissandra's name is not too long, but when she spoke, every word she said was like the morning bell, hitting the hearts of the coalition soldiers present.
Especially the Avarosans who were in the front row, excitedly waiting for this battle.
For them, every time Lissandra uttered a word, they felt their heartbeat synchronized with it. After Lissandra finished speaking, they almost couldn't control themselves and cheered for Lissandra!
This is the gravity from the depths of the blood. As one of the three sisters and the source of the power of the Ice Bloodline, even if Karya used the power of the devil to block Lissandra's influence and spying on the Ice Bloodline through dreams, when Lissandra really stood in front of everyone and guided the power of the bloodline to speak, many Avarosa warriors would still be excited by her words.
Karya had expected this.
So, he did not let Lissandra continue to influence the Ice Bloodline, but also reported his name in the way of the Freljord people.
"I am Karya, the regent prince of Shurima."
"I am the light of hope in the Great Desert and the wisdom of Shurima."
"I am the embodiment of life and death, and the guide of all good things."
"I have witnessed the rise and fall of civilization, and I am a traveler in the long river of time."
"Now, I have returned again, and will completely end the ancient disputes and eliminate the pioneers of the void invasion."
"Anyone who is my enemy will be drowned by the torrent of the times, and will eventually be buried under the sands of time, and will never have a future."
If Lissandra's words are the sound of the great bell, then Kalya's words are the desert wind mixed with gravel. As he announced his name, the warriors of Avarosa finally calmed down gradually. After realizing the subtlety, they retreated a sufficient distance and completely gave the battlefield to the two bosses, and no longer had the idea of rushing to the front line to watch the battle.
And as Kalya closed his mouth and spread his wings, there was no sound on the huge battlefield except the howling wind of the Howling Abyss. Everyone's eyes were focused on the two figures in the center of the battlefield, one up and one down.
Kalja in midair, Lissandra on the ground.
They just stared at each other calmly.
The next moment, both sides moved at the same time.
……………………
Kalja did not lead the Chaos Storm, but after confirming that Lissandra had completely entered the range of the sand dunes, he raised his hands and called on the power of gravel.
Then, the gravel combined into a huge giant standing tall in front of him. It stood up from the sand dunes, raised a fist bigger than a house, and smashed Lissandra hard.
Although countless gravel slid down every time the gravel giant moved, this punch was enough to terrify the Frostguard priests on the walls of Frostguard Fortress.
The huge gravel giant in front of him was much larger than the legendary Ornn. It was not a mountain, but a builder of mountains. With its every move, the ground beside the Howling Abyss began to tremble, and even the ice that had not melted for thousands of years began to crack.
However, as the target of the attack, Lissandra showed a disdainful smile. Her magic perception told her that this huge gravel giant was just a show-off. Although it was huge, the spell itself was barely maintained. The lack of magic power of the caster caused it to be incomplete in many aspects.
Although its material was special and naturally contained a lot of magic, Lissandra was sure that its attack power was good, but it was only attack power - to deal with this kind of attack, she didn't even need any dodge or defense, just destroy the opponent's spell structure directly!
So, the dark and black ice began to spread in all directions with Lissandra as the center.
And where the ice went, the gravel was instantly frozen - the gravel giant's fist had not hit Lissandra before it was wrapped by a thick layer of ice, and it was completely stagnant.
"Bloom."
With Lissandra's cold command, the gravel giant wrapped in ice exploded as if crushed by a glacier. Countless gravels gushed out from the cracks in the ice like fireworks, and fell back on the sand dunes after a brief bloom, becoming part of the sand dunes again.
A cheer broke out in the Frostguard Fortress. Although they could not understand the risks in this magic battle, it did not prevent the Frostguard tribe from cheering for their frost witch.
Kalya was not in a hurry, because the huge gravel giant was just a cover for his subsequent attacks. Although his own magic power was indeed a bit scarce, the fundamental reason why the huge gravel giant was so fragile was that he was unwilling to waste too much magic power on covering the attack.
Almost at the moment when the gravel giant was shattered, two golden chains quietly emerged from the sand dunes. On the chains, the complex magic circuits quietly completed the closed loop. Lux, who was watching the battle from afar, saw the meaning of these magic circuits at a glance.
Seal, seal, and seal again.
This is a multi-sealed magic circuit, which can not only seal the target captured by the chain, but also seal its own magic until it is activated. Aiming at Lissandra's magic perception, Kalya took the opportunity of the gravel giant's fist and quickly rubbed out these two seal chains that were unobservable to Lissandra.
Unfortunately, Lissandra's perception of the outside world has never been just magic perception.
Just like Kalya can perceive magic through the sand in the air, in addition to magic perception, Lissandra is also actively rippling magic ripples at all times. She has an amazing magic reserve, which allows her to keep casting at all times, and then detect the surrounding environment through spell feedback.
Although the seal chain seals its own magic, it still exists as a physical entity, so it was quickly discovered by Lissandra.
In Lissandra's perception, these were two long thin strips, and there was no magic feedback. With a little thought, she could confirm that they must have some kind of relationship with the seal.
Coincidentally, Lissandra herself was proficient in sealing spells. Under the Howling Abyss, the nine seals that sealed the watchers were almost all completed by her personally. She knew better than anyone how troublesome and difficult it was to use sealing spells.
If you want to get rid of a sealing spell, the best way is to use another sealing spell. If you use elemental magic, it is likely to cause some trouble. Therefore, Lissandra did not hesitate at all and directly prepared the nine seals that she was best at.
As one ice shackle after another appeared beside Lissandra and quickly formed a network, completely blocking the direction of the sealing chain, a piece of solid ice appeared out of thin air and completely wrapped up Kalya's sealing chain.
Almost at the same time, the ice shackles of the nine seals seemed to be the laces for tying gifts, wrapping the large piece of solid ice tightly. As the last ice shackle was buckled together, Kalya was surprised to find that he almost instantly lost control of the sealing chain.
In other words, even if the sealing chain was still in front of him, in that piece of solid ice, Kalya had no perception of it at all.
It was an amazing sealing spell. Even Kalya, who was knowledgeable, could not help but admire it.
Is this the means to seal the Watcher?
And with these two consecutive spell duels, Kalya had to reluctantly admit that facing Lissandra, among the many Ascendants, there were probably few who could really be her opponent.
Although Aatrox was very powerful, pure physical close combat would only be a walkabout when facing Lissandra.
Although Nezuk was proficient in elemental magic, the upper limit of elemental magic was still a little lacking.
Horok's assassination was hard to defend against, but Kalya did not think that ordinary assassinations could cause any fatal damage to Lissandra. On the contrary, it was very likely that an assassination attack near her would be counterattacked.
After all, perhaps only Setaka could deal with her with Charikar and her own excellent magic resistance.
What a terrible opponent! If her mind was not so complicated, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have any chance.
While secretly sighing in his heart, Kalya swooped down from mid-air and flew straight to Lissandra.
At the same time, the magic power under his wings gradually became disordered and chaotic, as if he was going to repeat his old tricks and set off a chaos storm to deal with Lissandra's superb spellcasting ability!
However, before the chaos storm took shape, the rolling thunder under the dark clouds burst into thousands of brilliance.
You want to create a chaos storm, right?
I'll help you!
Last time you won half a chip by luck, and you thought you could win this time?
This time, I, Lissandra, will get up where I fell!
It's a little late.
