Mage Joan

"Old lady, what are you kidding! Let's go back? This is absolutely impossible!"

Clark is really anxious now.

"My brother Qiao'an and I are entrusted by the goddess of the underworld, we must go to the temple of the river!"

The old witch shook her head again and again, absolutely incomprehensible: "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...in the end it will kill you, it's better not to go!"

"Mother-in-law, you are too much!" Clark shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The opposite, the former "chief witch" of the Temple of Styx, had a quasi-legendary level of mana before he was alive. After being transformed into a lich, his strength has been greatly improved. He and Qiao'an are probably no match for this old witch when they join forces.

Granny Amanda sighed and her tone turned cold.

"The last time I warned you, either defeat me and prove that you have the possibility to reverse your destiny, or give me the'Essence Necklace' now, go back the same way, and stop making trouble!"

"You are deliberately making things difficult!"

No matter how Clark complained, the old witch remained unmoved.

The Frost Giant had no choice but to turn around to discuss with Qiao An.

"Brother, I didn't expect things to become like this, what do you think should be done?"

Qiao An thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "We have promised Ms. Hull to personally **** the'Essence Necklace' to her kingdom of God. We can't speak without words."

"The problem is that Amanda's grandmother-in-law is difficult to pass..." Clark scratched his head in distress.

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

Clark saw the powerful self-confidence in the eyes of the young mage, and he couldn't believe it while reassuring.

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

"I don't know her strength, so I can only make a broad estimate." Qiao Ann 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 eldest brother, it is a conservative estimate. It is also 80% certain."

Clark was dumbfounded and speechless for a long while.

He knew that Qiao An had a stable personality, and he always had to make the worst plan in advance for everything, prepare multiple plans, and leave himself more than one way out.

You can suspect that this young mage is too cautious, but he cannot find a trace of underestimation from his past experience of words and deeds.

Joan said that he had a 60% chance of winning against Amanda's mother-in-law. Clark, based on his knowledge of him and deducting self-humility, speculated that Joan had at least a 70% chance of winning. Then there are two problems.

First of all, is Qiao An really that strong?

A 17-year-old 12-level mage who dared to challenge the quasi-legendary lich was too exaggerated?

The second and most depressing question for Clark is...

"If you don't count me, you have a 60% chance of winning, and I also have an 80% chance of winning. Brother Qiao'an... the combined strength of mine is only one-third of yours, just a piece of scrap!"

"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 more difficult to increase the winning rate from 60% to 80% than from 0% to 20%." Qiao An explained.

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

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

"Mother Amanda, let's start now!"

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

Qiao'an and Clark were unexpectedly attacked by the magic emblem, as if countless steel needles were pierced into their skulls, and immediately felt a strong headache!

Fortunately, both of them had taken the potion soaked in "God's Tears" in advance, and the medicinal effect offset most of the mental attacks imposed on them by the 5-level spell "Sign of Pain", and the headache disappeared quickly after less than three seconds.

Mother-in-law Amanda has been observing the changes in Qiao'an and Clark's expressions, and she realized that they had overcome the pain in a short period of time, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

Surprised to surprise, the old witch had no intention of being merciful. Taking advantage of Qiao'an and Clark’s not getting back to their senses, they joined forces with the demons standing on their shoulders, the Skeleton Witch Crow, and locked the two to cast powerful witchcraft "Ice". mound"!

Two groups of pale cyclones wrapped the frost giant and the young mage, injected them with a bone-through cold current, and by the way, frozen water vapor, quickly forming a thick ice shell covering the whole body.

The cold magic has no effect on Qiao Ann, but the "Ice Tomb" itself restricts his actions.

With his current strength level of 19 points, taking advantage of the "Ice Tomb" is not yet solid, struggling, and spending more time, there is still a chance to break the ice.

But Qiao An knew very well that Amanda’s mother-in-law would not leave herself ample time for struggling. The next deadly spell is probably already in preparation. She decisively activates the 5-level spell "Instant Spirit Body", and the spiritual body is directly worn. Through the ice layer, get rid of the shackles of the "ice mound", and pat yourself "freedom of movement" easily.

At the same time as Qiao An was out of trouble, Clark also used his strong physique to forcefully break through the "ice mound", shake off the frost on his shoulders, and regain his freedom.

However, before she could catch her breath, the next round of attacks from Granny Amanda followed one after another. A pale beam of light popped out of her fingertips, first hitting Clark, and then refracting on JoAnn.

The attack came too fast, Qiao An glanced quickly and barely recognized that this was a 4-level spell that invoked negative energy and cold magic at the same time, and its nature was very similar to... "cold flame"!

At the moment of the beckoning, Qiao An felt cold all over, and the howling wind in the canyon shivered on his face.

This feeling is strange to him.

Since wearing the "Essence Necklace", Qiao An has rarely been injured by cold spells, and the low temperature of nature has no hindrance to him. Especially after the "Essence Necklace" has completed the third-order coherence, it can logically absorb all the cold systems. Magic, why would I feel cold?

With doubts, he hurriedly turned on "Inner Vision" to check his health.

Qiao An was surprised to find that he actually had a negative effect called "Through-Bone Deep Cold". The physique that absorbed the cold damage was hedged by "Through-Bone Deep Cold" and weakened to "half frostbite."

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

The frost giant's inherent cold immunity is offset by the curse, completely losing its resistance to cold magic!

"Ringa!"

Granny Amanda chanted the incantation, raised her bone-like palm, facing Clark, and suddenly sprayed a light beam of white and transparent blue. Wherever she passed, ice flowers were frozen in the sky, as if a crystal clear bridge was erected, and she was suddenly caught in the wind. Blown away.
