Chapter 122: Turning Defeat into Victory
Staring at the sandman in the distance, Joanna whispered a spellcasting spell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Her voice became higher and higher, and the golden light suddenly appeared, and the three-star earth-based magic 'Iron Rock Barrier' emerged.
At this moment, the sandman raised his hand and waved, and the earth elemental quickly gathered, and a huge rock instantly condensed, surging towards Joanna.
"Damn!" exclaimed Joanna, giving up her attack spell and dodging to the side.
"Boom!"
Joanna had barely run two meters when a loud bang came from behind her.
The air wave swept in, stirring up a burst of sand, and Joanna was not spared, being knocked down by the air wave and lying on the ground in embarrassment.
"Ahem, ahem......" Joanna coughed repeatedly, spitting out the sand in her mouth. She turned her head to glance at the cracked ground and the rocks embedded in the earth, and her heart palpitated, but at the same time she was glad that if she had slowed down, she would have ended worse than the ground. However, recalling the scene just now, Joanna was more shocked and confused in her heart. She slowly got to her feet, staring at the sandman clone with an incredulous gaze.
She didn't understand why the sandman clone didn't need to chant when casting spells?
Only the Grand Magus can master the Mind Whisper spell?Joanna guessed, but she wasn't sure.
No, the Sandman clone seemed to be even faster than the Archmagister, and she frowned as she suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be the Ancient Magician? Joanna suddenly woke up, yes, only ancient magic can instantaneously magic, just like Albert unleashed a flame. Thinking of this, Joanna's confidence was a little shaken, everyone knew that it was impossible for a magician to defeat an ancient magician of the same level.
But at the same time, an emotion rose from the bottom of her heart that she had never felt before.
In the words of a man, it is the will of war.
Those blue eyes became focused, and they were also mixed with the stubbornness of a girl.
Defeat the Ancient Mage, and in order to prove the significance of her study of magic, she believes that she can do it, and she wants to live.
Another rock whizzed, but this time, Joanna was no longer as embarrassed as she had been the last time, she was like a lithe, agile antelope, jumping sideways and backwards, and brushing shoulders with death lightly.
Immediately afterward, Joanna began her counterattack.
"Listen to my call, O heavy earth element, and give me ......"
When Joanna finished chanting, three thorns of earth converged and shot out, heading for another flying rock.
The sound of muffled thunder was deafening, and the collision of earth magics was not as pleasing to the eye as fire or lightning, but it was full of power.
The Ancient Mage does not need to chant to cast magic, which makes Joanna a little difficult to parry, and always falls behind. If it weren't for the fact that the Sandman didn't have an autonomous consciousness and only knew how to release magic mechanically, I'm afraid she would be dead by now. However, the absence of self-awareness also means the absence of fear of death. The sandman clone never defensive, only attacked, which made Joanna even more headaches.
To make matters worse, Joanna's stamina was rapidly draining as time passed.
The boulder summoned by the sandman roared towards her, and Joanna struggled to move her body, but she was still hit by the edge of the boulder and flew upside down for several meters.
She fell to the ground with a bang, and at the same time, the "iron and rock barrier" shattered. Even though the defensive magic had negated most of the damage, Joanna felt a burning pain in her back.
She bit her lower lip hard and struggled to her feet, gasping for air.
Joanna looked terrible now, her long crimson hair was a mess, sweat, blood, and sand were mixed together, and her beautiful face was obscured. Her cotton loungewear was also in tatters, and a big hole had been cut in her back just now, her originally fair and smooth skin had become a blur of flesh and blood, and her loungewear had been dyed red. If Joanna appeared in front of Count Rose like this, I believe she would not recognize that this was her daughter.
Before Joanna could stand firm, the sandman clone rushed towards her like lightning.
"Bang! bang!"
The Sandman threw two punches in succession, smashing them into Joanna's lower abdomen, followed by another kick that kicked Joanna to the ground.
Joanna held her lower abdomen and spat out a bloody arrow from her mouth, curled up like a river shrimp, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her forehead like raindrops. The Sandman's attack caused her so much pain that it was like she had been hit by a hammer.
Her face distorted, and she opened her mouth in pain, but she couldn't make a sound.
However, instead of breaking Joanna's faith, the pain made her will to survive stronger, and her mind clearer.
Standing up again, Joanna staggered back as she thought about what to do. Her magic has dried up, which isn't good news, but the sandman clones are copied according to her strength, and their magic should be exactly the same.
That's right, the Sandman started using hand-to-hand attacks, indicating that the opponent also had little magic left.
Suddenly, Joanna thought that her body had been enhanced by golden light before entering the palace.
If she guessed correctly, the Sandman had the same power as her, and she had the same power, but she just ignored it. Otherwise, it's not a test, it's a killing.
In terms of physical strength, she will never lose to the imposter in front of her.
Joanna put on a confident smile, it seemed that the battle had officially begun without magic.
Although Joanna has no martial arts training, she was born into a martial arts family, and her parents are both powerful martial artists.
Just then, the sandman's clone's fist struck again, but this time it didn't hit.
Joanna recalled the scene when her parents were fighting, and with a wrong step, she turned sideways and gave way to the blow.
Then, she slammed a backhand knife into the sandman's chest.
The sandman clone was repulsed, and Joanna didn't want to let go of this good opportunity, so she bullied herself and smashed her fist into the opponent like raindrops. The sandman clone who had the upper hand in the last second instantly changed from a victory to a disadvantage, and could only defend passively, while Joanna kept recalling the fighting skills she had seen, and the attack methods were jerky but endless.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Joanna threw three jabs, all of which landed in the sandman's chest, knocking him to the ground.
She didn't give the sandman a chance to get up again, and rode on the doppelganger's waist, her knees pressed against the clone's arms. The two fists swung like a storm, hitting the head and neck, chest and abdomen of the doppelganger.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound, and the sandman clone broke and turned into a pile of loose sand.
Joanna stood up and wiped the sweat and blood from her face with her sleeve, and a very strange feeling rose in her heart.
Although she knew that the other party was just a created sandman, the other party looked almost exactly like her, and it was really weird to beat herself to death.
