Chapter 538 - A Test of Willpower. A Battle at the Bottom of a 100,000 Foot Cliff!
Chapter 538: A Test of Willpower. A Battle at the Bottom of a 100,000 Foot Cliff!
“It’s not good at all,” Joelson replied before sighing again.
“But, this amount isn’t optimistic at all!”
Joelson angrily hammered the ice surface!
With a crack, the ice surface shattered like a spider web.
“Damn it…”
Joelson knew that this wasn’t optimistic.
“Damn it…”
Godfrey was also furious.
“We’re already here… do we have to go back like this…?”
Godfrey said unwillingly.
“…”
Joelson was silent.
“No, I’m not willing!”
Before Joelson could answer, Godfrey shouted angrily.
“How is it possible… How can we go back like this?”
Godfrey hammered the ice surface and said angrily.
“Hehehe…”
Joelson smiled.
“That’s right, if we go back just like that, it’ll be too embarrassing!”
Joelson said loudly!
“Let’s go. After eating the last jerky, we’ll continue on our way!”
As he said that, Joelson took out half of the jerky in his pocket. Even though the jerky was frozen hard, Joelson did not hesitate to stuff the jerky into his mouth, chew it, and swallow it directly!
The muscle fibers of the beef jerky were like wood chips, stinging his throat!
A warm current rose up from his stomach and he quickly recovered.
Godfrey was not willing to be outdone. He took out the beef jerky and swallowed it.
“Phew!”
Feeling this rare warmth, Godfrey let out a comfortable breath.
“Are you ready?”
Joelson came to the side of the steep slope and asked Godfrey.
“I’m ready, Master!”
Godfrey nodded and answered loudly!
“Okay, charge!”
Joelson shouted heroically. The two of them instantly exerted strength and released their hands. The moment they fell, they suddenly reached out and grabbed the ice surface of the steep slope!
“Ah!”
Godfrey made a laborious sound. Joelson and Godfrey’s bodies were directly suspended in the air, supported by only their two hands!
When they were climbing the 90-degree vertical slope, they could still use their feet to pedal on the ice surface to reduce the burden on their hands. Now, without a foothold, their bodies were suspended in the air. Not only could they not reduce the burden on their hands, but they could also increase the gravity of their bodies to increase the challenge on their hands. They also added the gravity of their own weight to increase the challenge on their hands!
“Damn it… Quick… let’s end this quickly!”
Joelson also shouted with great difficulty. Joelson could clearly sense that…! If he wanted to maintain the state of being attached to the ice surface… he had to use magic energy that was ten times heavier than before to support his hands to be able to attach to it!
“Damn it…”
Godfrey shouted with difficulty. At the same time, he did not dare to slow down his hand and tried his best to climb down.
But…
The speed was too slow!
The speed of both of them was too slow!
While Godfrey was struggling to climb, Joelson was also not relaxed, and his speed was very slow!
“No, if this goes on…”
Godfrey felt the extent of his magic energy consumption in despair. He did a simple calculation and came to a conclusion that made him despair.
“If this goes on…”
The exhausted Godfrey said with difficulty,
“If this goes on, we might not reach the bottom… the magic energy will be exhausted first!”
Godfrey said his judgment with difficulty.
“Damn it…”
Godfrey lowered his head in self-blame. It was a bastard’s behavior to say such words at this time, but he could not control the fear in his heart.
“It’s okay… Godfrey… don’t blame yourself…”
Joelson answered with difficulty.
“I think so too… But you can’t admit defeat so easily. Come on, work hard, believe in yourself… Believe in miracles!”
Joelson shouted angrily as he moved down.
“Okay!”
Godfrey followed Joelson’s footsteps. The two of them planned to rely on their willpower to fight against this natural chasm and nature!
No danger could resist the courage to conquer nature!
There seemed to be a burning fire in their hearts, crackling and crackling. The burning fighting spirit was like a flame, supporting the actions of Joelson and Godfrey!
Their bodies suddenly seemed to have endless strength, and the fatigue on their bodies also dissipated. At that moment, the pain and suffering seemed to be far away from the two of them.
“Is… is this the true meaning of the sentence that the old man gave us…”
All of a sudden, as if he had understood something, his eyes widened!
Joelson understood the true meaning of the sentence that the old man had given him before he left.
“Godfrey… What do you think the old man’s strength is?”
While climbing, Joelson asked.
“Eh?”
Godfrey was puzzled.
“Why are you suddenly asking this?”
Godfrey said in puzzlement.
“Just answer.”
Joelson said calmly.
Hearing Joelson’s question, Godfrey fell into a state of reminiscence.
“Oh… if I remember correctly, it’s probably because… he’s not a demigod, right…”
Godfrey carefully reflected on the aura of the old man, then said with certainty.
“The power of the old man shouldn’t be wrong. It should be that he hasn’t reached the demigod level yet, but he’s at the peak of the deity realm!”
“Then… Godfrey, why do you think that the two of us, demigod-level people, and me, a peak demigod, aren’t able to easily challenge this gorge, while that old man was able to rely on the power of the peak of the deity realm to successfully challenge this Wailing Abyss?”
Joelson followed Godfrey’s answer and continued to ask questions.
“Hmm… this… that’s right!”
Godfrey was suddenly jolted awake.
“Logically speaking, the magic energy at the peak of deity domain should be much less than ours. However, why is it that the old man was able to succeed in the challenge, while we have more magic energy, yet we are unable to succeed in the challenge?”
“That’s right, Godfrey. This is the key!”
Joelson spoke, his eyes burning with raging flames.
“The old man also encountered this steep slope. He was also able to succeed in the challenge. What he relied on was not the amount of magic energy…”
Joelson spoke his own understanding.
“It was that sentence, Godfrey. The old man who understood that sentence relied on the energy brought by that sentence to successfully hold on until he reached the bottom!”
Joelson said loudly, “The hymn of mankind is the hymn of courage. The greatness of mankind is the greatness of courage!”
With his high fighting spirit ablaze, Joelson said this sentence loudly!
