The huge dragon’s speed was faster than a horse. Although they had departed much later than Oveila, by the time the sun rose, they had already caught up to Oveila.

As they caught up to Oveila, they saw her shadow, dashing across the grassland, carrying a halberd and long bow on her back. Letting out a dragon groan, Frost sped up, stopping before Oveila and blocking her way.

Jose changed his weapon into a fish fork, and carried the rope on his shoulders. He also switched his armor to the magic blessed leather armor, which Sui Xiong had made for his core believers.

Everything was well-prepared. At that moment, the traveling businessman that now jumped off from the dragon’s back, though he physically looked the same, his aura had completely changed.

Oveila, who was weary from running, shrunk her eyes slightly, stopping in her tracks. She didn’t intend to talk, but wore the halberd behind her, as she took down the long bow behind her back. Poising the long bow, she then shot an arrow directly at Jose’s face.

Ding!

Jose waved his fish fork to block the feather arrow. Oveila showed no expression, but gradually put the sharp arrows on her bow, continuing to shoot them, one after another.

Mostly she was shooting towards Jose. However, she shot one or two arrows at Frost’s eyeball.

Of course, these arrows wouldn’t be able to pose any threat to Frost. Hence, he just closed his eyes, relying on the toughness of his eyelids to block the arrows. On the contrary, Jose was a little strained, while attempting to deal with the string of arrows.

The centaurs’ horsemanship and archery skills were well-known. Every time they drew back their bows, sharp arrows whizzed past, showering down like a storm. Any troops with weaker defenses would certainly be defeated.

Oveila was the heir of the most honorable bloodline among the centaurs. Hence, her archery skills were comparatively higher than most, especially when she was running while shooting the arrows. In fact, when she was wielding herbow, not only was the speed of the arrow fast, but she was also skilled at varying the direction of the arrow, which Jose found very difficult to fight against.

“No weak ones among the famous ones…” He waved his fish fork, knocking the arrows away, while he slowly got closer to Oveila.

He was trying to find an opportunity to launch an attack. He mumbled to himself, “I thought it would be enough to come alone. I was so full of myself.”

He could already tell that, if it came down to a one-on-one battle, he wouldn’t be able to fight against Oveila. Moreover, it would even be difficult to escape! Luckily, it didn’t come to that.

Frost’s reason for being there wasn’t only to replace saddle horse, after all. He was also preparing magic. As he was harassed by Oveila’s arrows, it took a much longer time to prepare the magic. Suddenly, he opened his eyes to see a green light, which was emitting from his pupils!

“Poison pond spell!”

Oveila was terrifyingly quick in her response, expertly dodging the green light. After passing her, and hitting the ground, the green light didn’t disperse. Instead, it turned into a pond, which was emitting a dark green poisonous gas.

After dodging the magic, Oveila realized suddenly that she couldn’t turn around. She now stood frozen in the pond, stuck to the spot by the poisonous gas. She suddenly felt her body and legs grow heavy and weak. Eventually, she couldn’t even stand on her feet. Even her strength and balance were being affected.

Finally, she managed to leap away from the poisonous pond. She then started running as far away as she could, while trying to detoxify herself via a magic spell.

As a high priest of a higher order, her skill at casting spells was outstanding. If she had enough time, no matter how strong the poison was, even if she couldn’t detox herself completely, she would still be able to suppress its effects temporarily.

However, Jose and Frost wouldn’t give her the time…

Jose smiled cooly, as he stuffed his hands in the storage pouch at his waist. He then took out a few short fish forks that were used for throwing.

He didn’t even need to get a running start, before he swung his right arm, accompanied with a sad and shrill whistle, to send a short fish fork flying across the sky. The fish fork flew in an imposing manner, with a speed that was too fast to be caught. Hence, it caught up with Oveila in the blink of an eye.

Luckily, Oveila had been watching Jose and Frost’s situation out of the corner of her eyes, so she saw Jose’s attack. But, due to the fact that she had been poisoned, her response was slightly slower than normal.

Under normal circumstances, she would have been able to dodge the attack easily. However, at that very moment, she was only able to dodge it clumsily, nearly destroying the anti-poison magic that she was slowly preparing.

Alas, Jose’s attack didn’t stop there! After the initial assault, there was a total of four short fish forks that he brought out!

Immediately thereafter, the sad and shrill cry of the barrage of fish forks could be heard whistling through the sky. Every fish fork was like a warning letter from the King of Hell, and also like a sickle of Death, pressing down hard on Oveila.

After barely dodging another two fish forks, Oveila finally could no longer maintain her pace of escape. Jose projected the pattern of her habitual actions and speed, then shot her.

The sharp fish fork stabbed deeply into the body of the centaur. The sharp blade, which had been cast with a magic spell, slit open the tough skin that could normally withstand a regular sword. The strong muscles were cut and torn, as blood flowed out along the blood drain on the fish fork, which had been intentionally made for this exact battle feature during production.
