The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 189: Subjugating the Crystalized Witch

The trail leads to a forgotten cave.

The interior of the cave was intricate and David and Sten explored it carefully.

There may not only be treasures here, but also potentially dangerous creatures and traps.

At the deepest part of the cave, they found a huge stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is a platform made of witchcraft crystals, and on the platform lies an ancient treasure chest.

David walked forward and carefully opened the treasure chest.

In the treasure chest, there are some ancient witchcraft scrolls, gems and other precious items.

But just as they were about to leave the cave, they suddenly felt the ground begin to shake, as if the entire space was shaking.

As the treasure chest was opened, the tranquility inside the cave was completely broken.

The ground began to shake violently, and dust and rubble from the stone walls fell like raindrops.

David and Sten quickly retreated to a corner of the stone chamber to avoid possible falling rocks.

The vibrations grew stronger and stronger, and the entire cave seemed to be roaring, as if some enormous force was being released.

David realized that this might be some kind of mechanism protecting the treasure, or they might have triggered some ancient spell.

He quickly flipped through the witchcraft scroll he had just obtained, trying to find a way to calm the chaos.

Sten held the weapon tightly in his hand and looked around vigilantly, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

The vibration reached its peak, and suddenly, one of the walls of the stone chamber collapsed, revealing a hidden passage.

From this channel, a powerful energy wave surged out.

Along with this wave, a group of giant puppets made of rocks and soil were awakened.

There was an ominous light in their eyes, obviously designed to protect this secret treasure.

David could only start casting spells. The power of ice continued to surge out, causing the entire secret room to be frozen bit by bit.

at the same time.

In the black fog forest outside, magic power continues to surge.

Likewise, giant puppets made of rocks and soil woke up.

Their bulky bodies moved slowly in the forest, and every step was accompanied by a tremor in the ground, as if the entire forest was trembling with their awakening.

The power and defense of these rock golems are extremely amazing, and their existence is undoubtedly a disaster for other wizard organizations exploring the forest.

The wizards originally thought that they were facing just some ordinary forest creatures and natural traps.

But they soon discovered that the strength of these rock puppets far exceeded their expectations.

These puppets are not only extremely powerful, but also seem to have a certain degree of intelligence, and they can attack in coordination.

They even use some simple tactics to make the wizards' situation even more difficult.

Faced with these rock golems at the formal wizard level, some wizards began to feel despair.

Their spells and incantations paled in power against the golems' hard shells, and every attack was like a blow against an impenetrable fortress.

Ordinary people and wizards began to realize that they might not be able to leave the forest alive, and their hearts were filled with fear and helplessness.

"Is this... Have the ruins been opened?"

The eyes of the wizards in the Cape Tower lit up, and they felt that the opportunity had come.

"I wonder where Edmund is." Misa said.

"Don't worry about him. Let's quickly find the entrance to the ruins. We must be the first to obtain the resources inside."

Another wizard, Link, snorted and quickly groped his wizard apprentice into the Black Mist Forest.

Although these rock puppets are indeed very powerful, a crystallized wizard at the peak of his powers can still deal with them easily.

Link knows that every corner of the ruins may hide priceless wizarding items or ancient secrets, which could greatly enhance their status in the wizarding world.

And the resources that may allow him to break through to the first level of wizard must be within this relic.

"Help."

Someone from the wizard organization saw the people in the Cape Tower and immediately called for help.

However, Link and his team turned a blind eye to this, and all he had in his heart was his desire for the ruins.

Although Misa was a little hesitant, she knew that Link's decision was for the benefit of the entire Cape Tower.

She gritted her teeth and finally chose to follow Link and move on.

In their hearts, the resources and knowledge in the ruins are far more important than saving a few strangers.

They believed that only by taking the lead could they ensure Cape Tower's position in the wizarding world.

The wizards trapped by the rock golems could only watch as the wizards in the Cape Tower disappeared into the depths of the Black Mist Forest.

As time went by, the wizards of the Cape Tower went deeper and deeper into the forest, and they finally found the entrance to the ruins.

At this moment, wizards from other wizard organizations also came here.

Link stood in front of the entrance to the ruins, his figure looking particularly eerie in the dim light.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and the icy power in his body began to surge.

A cruel smile appeared on Link's lips. He knew that in order to protect the interests of Cape Tower, he had to take all necessary measures.

Wizards from other wizard organizations also realized Link's intention, and fear flashed in their eyes.

However, in order to compete for the resources in the ruins, they had no choice but to move forward.

They knew that if they retreated, they would give up a precious opportunity.

Link slowly raised his hands, and layers of frost began to gather between his fingers.

The temperature around him dropped sharply, and even the air began to solidify. He whispered the ancient spell, and every syllable was filled with destructive power.

Then, he suddenly pushed his hands forward, and a powerful ice storm burst out from his palms, roaring like an ice dragon and rushing towards the wizards.

The wizards hurriedly cast defensive magic, but their power seemed powerless in the face of Link's ice storm.

Wherever the ice dragon went, everything was frozen; trees, rocks, and even the wizards' magic shields were instantly frozen.

The wizards were horrified to find that their bodies also began to freeze. Their movements became slower and slower, until they were completely frozen and turned into ice sculptures.

Link stood in this frozen world, there was no mercy in his eyes.

He knew that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive.

And for the glory of the Cape Tower, he is willing to become that strong man.

He turned to look at Misa and the wizard apprentices, and his voice was particularly harsh in the icy air, "Let's go in."

Misa nodded silently.

Although Link's cruelty is terrible, it is also for their common good.

Everyone followed Link into the ruins, leaving behind a desolate scene ravaged by the power of ice.

At this time in the ruins, David and Sten had already killed the rock puppets, and then continued to rush towards the passage that appeared before.

Deep within the ruins, David and Stern discovered a hidden chamber.

The door of the secret room is made of an unknown material and is engraved with ancient runes and patterns, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

David could only start to crack the magic circle on the door again.

Even though no one knows how many years have passed, the magic circle on the door is still intact.

This made David realize that there might be a powerful source of magic behind the door supporting this powerful relic.

But at this moment, David suddenly raised his head and looked outside the passage.

Suddenly, a terrifying icy force swept over and rushed towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Sten stood in front and shattered the icy power with one punch.

Then, he looked towards the passage and saw Link and others walking in.

"The wizard from the Lone Whale Market?"

"Leave here, we at Cape Tower will take over this place."

Link spoke directly.

He didn't know that Edmund was now sealed by David.

David narrowed his eyes and noticed this as well.

When the wizards in the cape tower saw them, they just told them to leave?

It seems that Edmund's actions at that time were entirely his own idea, and not instructed by the Cape Tower.

Of course, even if he knew this, he would not leave.

"Sorry, I was here first." David said calmly.

Link's face darkened instantly. If he hadn't sensed that the wizard in front of him was no ordinary person, he would have taken action long ago.

Now that the wizards at the Lone Whale Market are ignorant, we can’t blame him!
"You will regret your decision, poor weak wizard!"

Click click click——

The next moment, he activated the ice power in his body.

David was stunned when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the wizard in front of him was an ice wizard!
"If you don't leave, you will die!" Link suddenly took action.

The powerful icy force turned into countless ice cones and swept directly towards David and Sten!

David snorted coldly when he saw this, and the mark of the ice element in his body began to tremble violently, and a pure and powerful ice force surged out of his body.

This ice power is completely different from Link's ice power. It is more refined and contains power that is like the origin of ice.

Although the ice power that Link mobilized was powerful, it seemed pale and powerless in front of David's ice element mark.

The mark of the ice element controlled the ice power and suddenly turned into an ice field.

Link was immediately shocked to find that he had lost control of the power of ice!
"How can this be?!"

"Why can't I control the power of ice?"

Link's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

His eyes were wide open, and David's powerful ice field was reflected in his pupils.

However, when his ice cone approached this area, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, lost its original trajectory, and fell powerlessly.

His heartbeat almost stopped at this moment, his breathing became rapid, and he felt a chill rushing up his spine to his forehead. It was not the coldness from the outside world, but the fear and confusion deep in his heart.

After losing control of the power of ice, he became just like an ordinary person.

Even though he tried his best to activate the crystallized mental power in his body, he was unable to cast even a single ice spell!
Link's body trembled slightly, and his lips moved slightly, wanting to say something, but found that he could not make any sound.

His mind became confused at this moment. He didn't understand why the other party could take away his control over the ice!

Could it be that the other party's strength has already surpassed that of a formal wizard?
He began to doubt himself, his powers, and even his existence.

This feeling of powerlessness, this fear of being deprived of power, made him feel more powerless than ever before.

His eyes were filled with confusion and unwillingness. He wanted to resist and regain his strength, but in the end everything turned into despair.

The crackling sound was heard again.

But this time, it was Link's icy power that began to break down.

David's icy power was like a sharp ice knife, easily cutting through Link's defense.

Link wanted to retreat, but his feet were frozen and he couldn't move.

A trace of despair flashed in his eyes, and his body began to freeze, and was eventually completely frozen, turning into an ice sculpture.

At this time, Misa and the wizard apprentices were all frightened silly.

Link was killed so easily. The strength of the wizard in front of them was far beyond their imagination.

"Master Wizard, this is a misunderstanding." Misa said with difficulty.

But David had no intention of letting them go, and the terrifying icy power swept over again.

Those wizard apprentices were frozen without any ability to resist, leaving only Misa, the crystallized wizard, still supporting them.

"A crystallized witch?" David narrowed his eyes.

Meisha's beauty is particularly eye-catching in this tense and dangerous moment.

Her skin was like the purest alabaster, her eyes like two clear lakes.

Her long hair fell like a waterfall, and even in the midst of tension and fear, her movements revealed a natural beauty.

David immediately became interested and said with a smile: "If you choose to surrender, I can spare your life."

"Surrender?"

Misa's brows couldn't help but jump.

But feeling that the water shield was still being frozen, hesitation still appeared on her face.

In this situation, surrender seems to be the only option.

She opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "Okay, I am willing to obey you."

As long as he can leave this secret place, this wizard who killed Link and a large number of wizard apprentices will never leave easily.

But she obviously didn't expect that David had the mark of the contract. As long as he left a spiritual mark in her soul, she would never betray him!

"you!"

Misa widened her beautiful eyes.

She could feel that the other party had left a spiritual mark in her soul.

If she resisted, this mental mark would directly attack her soul.

Even a wizard's soul is very fragile. It is impossible to resist this attack from within!
This means that she has completely become the other party's slave and it is impossible for her to betray him. The two of them are bound together!
She now finally knew the other party's purpose. As long as she chose to conceal it, the other party might really conceal the fact that he killed Link!
