The flying speed of a dragon was much faster than that of a galloping horse. Although they started much later than Overa, they had already caught up with Overa when the sun rose to the sky. They saw Overa running on the grassland with a halberd and a longbow on her back.
With a roar of the dragon, Frost suddenly sped up and rushed in front of Overa, blocking her way.
Josh had already replaced his weapon with a harpoon and slung the rope over his shoulder. His armor had also been replaced with the enchanted leather armor that Sui Xiong had made for the core believers. Everything was ready. At this moment, he jumped off the dragon's back. Although he still looked like a traveling merchant, his temperament was completely different.
Overa, who was a little tired from running, narrowed her eyes and stopped.
She didn't want to speak. She hung the halberd on her back and took the longbow on her back. She drew the bow and shot an arrow at Josh's face.
"Ding!" Josh waved the harpoon and knocked the arrow away.
Without the slightest change in her expression, Ovela slowly nocked the arrows on her bow and shot them one after another. Eighty percent of the arrows were aimed at Josh, and one or two were aimed at Frost's eyes.
Of course, these arrows didn't pose any threat to Frost. He just closed his eyes and blocked the arrows with the strength of his eyelids.
In contrast, Josh was finding it a little difficult to deal with the barrage of arrows raining down on him.
The Centaur race's archery skills were famous throughout the world. Every time they formed a group and charged forward, they would draw their bows and arrows together. Sharp arrows would pour down like a torrential downpour. Any army with slightly weaker defense would be defeated at the mere sight of them. As the heir of the most noble bloodline of the centaurs, Overa's archery skills were quite good. Especially when she ran and shot arrows, the speed of the arrows became faster and the direction of the arrows became more and more erratic, which made it difficult for Josh to deal with.
"Those who are famous really aren't weak …" He waved his harpoon, knocking away the arrows as he slowly approached Overa, trying to find an opportunity to attack. "I thought I could do it alone," he muttered to himself. "I thought I could do it alone, I was too arrogant!"
He had already judged that he was probably not a match for Overa in a one-on-one fight. It would even be difficult for him to escape.
Fortunately, it wasn't a one-on-one fight.
Frost didn't just act as a mount. He had been preparing spells. Because he had been harassed by Overa's arrows, he had to prepare for a long time before he could prepare this spell.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his huge vertical pupils emitted a dark green light.
"Poison Swamp!"
Ovira dodged the dark green light with astonishing agility. She was only a hair's breadth away from being hit. However, this ray of light did not dissipate after landing on the ground. Instead, it turned into a swamp that emitted dark green poisonous gas in the blink of an eye.
After dodging the direct spell, Overa couldn't turn around for a moment and stood in the swamp, contaminated by the poisonous gas. Suddenly, he felt his body become heavy, and his feet became soft and unstable. His strength and balance were affected.
She hurriedly leaped up and rushed out of the poisonous swamp. As she ran as far as she could, she began to pray, trying to use magic to detoxify herself.
As a high-ranking priestess, her spellcasting ability was also quite outstanding. As long as she was given some time, no matter how powerful the poison was, even if she couldn't detoxify it, she could at least temporarily suppress it.
However, neither Josh nor Frost would give her the time to do so.
Josh chuckled coldly as he reached into the storage pouch hanging from his waist and pulled out a few short throwing harpoons. He didn't even need to run. With a wave of his right arm, accompanied by the shrill sound of the wind, a short harpoon cut through the air with a speed and momentum that a sharp arrow couldn't catch up to. In the blink of an eye, it caught up with Overa.
Of course, Overa wasn't the kind of rookie who completely ignored her when running away. She had been watching Josh and Frost's situation with the corner of her eyes, and she also saw Josh's attack.
However, because of the poison, her reaction was a little slower.
In a battle between masters, a little slower could make a world of difference. Under normal circumstances, she should have been able to easily dodge the attack, but at this moment, she was in a rather difficult situation. She almost destroyed the spell that she was slowly preparing.
However, Josh's attack was not limited to this one! Just this time, he took out a total of four short harpoons!
The shrill sound of something cutting through the air came one after another. The harpoons were like the death stickers of the King of Hell, or the scythe of the Grim Reaper, closing in on Overa step by step.
After barely dodging another two harpoons, Overa finally couldn't maintain her acrobatic running style of "stopping, turning, and jumping". Josh judged her movements and shot her with a harpoon.
The sharp short harpoon deeply pierced into the centaur's body. The enchanted sharp blade cut through the tough skin that could withstand ordinary knives and swords. The strong muscles were cut and torn, and blood spurted out along the groove that was deliberately left when the harpoon was made.
Then, another harpoon was shot.
Overa let out a tragic roar. Her body shook violently, and at the risk of expanding her wound, she threw away both harpoons. Then, she didn't have time to think about the cost. She took out a silver pearl and crushed it.
This was an extremely precious "storage pearl." Not only could it store spells, but it could also be used repeatedly. At the most critical moment — like now — she could even crush it, and the spell stored inside could be activated. It was extremely fast and convenient.
Of course, the cost was also extremely high.
Overa forced herself not to calculate how many gold coins she had spent on this "Greater Recovery" spell, but her heart was still aching. Right now, her womanly nature was roaring madly in her heart. She was furious at the treasures that had turned into ashes.
"This woman is not simple!" Frost was not very good at magic, but at least he was much better than Josh. When he saw that Overa could actually instantly cast Greater Recovery, he was shocked. He hurriedly reminded Overa, "Be careful of her spell!"
This was a mistake he had made due to his lack of experience. When Overa used the storage pearl, her back was facing them, so he couldn't see her crushing the pearl. Thus, he subconsciously deduced that Overa wasn't using a magical tool, but a high-level skill that was rarely seen among mages. She had instantly cast a high-level spell.
He didn't think that if Overa really had the ability to instantly cast Greater Recovery, she wouldn't be in such a difficult situation! Wouldn't it be more convenient for her to instantly cast Dispel Spell and dispel the poisonous swamp?
"Dispel Spell" was much easier than "Greater Recovery". The difficulty of instantaneous casting was on a completely different level. If she could instantly cast the latter, she could, of course, instantly cast the former.
Josh's knowledge of magic was not as good as Frost's, so he certainly didn't think of this. Secretly on alert, he attacked even more fiercely. He took out a few more short harpoons and threw them at Overa.
But for Overa, who had already detoxified the poison, this kind of attack was nothing.
She took off the halberd hanging on her body and easily knocked away the short harpoons with a wave of her hand. Then she chanted a prayer again and began to cast a spell.
Frost completed his spell one step ahead of her. With a roar, the blue and white light turned into a large circle with a diameter of at least ten meters, covering her.
"Dispel Spell!"
This was a tactic that spellcasters often used in battle. No matter what spell the enemy used, they could cast Dispel Spell first. Not only could they directly destroy the spell structure that was being constructed, but if they were lucky, they could also cause the opponent to be seriously injured by the spell.
Overa sprinted and rushed out of the range of the "Dispel Magic". Then her own spell was completed. A dark red light rose from her body and turned into a thick smell of blood.
This was the unique divine spell of the Orc God System, Bloody Slaughter.
This spell could not only greatly enhance the physique of the target, but also provide the terrifying ability to absorb the life force of the target by killing them. A strong person who was strengthened by this spell could often kill thousands of people alone. As long as the spell was not destroyed, the ability to fight was simply unbelievable!
Not only that, she continued to pray and prepare the next spell.
Frost, of course, knew this spell. He frowned and took out a small ice crystal.
This was a magic tool that Snow made for him. Although it was a one-time consumable and couldn't be used repeatedly, it was not inferior to the storage pearl in terms of convenience and speed.
The ice crystal shattered, and a white light rose slowly and turned into a huge eye, staring at Overa.
In just a moment, Overa's body was covered with a thin layer of frost. The cold air surrounded her body and turned into countless ice chips and snowflakes. Her four hooves were about to be frozen to the ground, and she lost the ability to move.
This spell was called Arctic Stare, which was quite rare among the spells. It was slightly weaker than the advanced ice spell Arctic Ray, but it was more difficult to dodge. Each spell had its own advantages.
Then, Overa finished her own spell. It was Stone Armor, which could greatly enhance the body's defense.
This spell was the advanced version of Stone Skin. It had higher defense, but it would cause extra weight. Only strong people could bear its side effects.
According to Ovela's plan, the next step would be to cast Levitation, which would allow him to avoid being harmed by traps, and Free Movement, which would prevent him from being slowed down and entangled. Then, he would cast Holy Shield, which would greatly increase his defense, and Holy Weapon, which would increase his attack power. Then, he would cast a series of spells such as Bull and Eagle Eye, and finally, he would summon a few powerful creatures from another world … The whole process couldn't be any more standard.
It could be seen that Overa was a battle-oriented person. Maybe in those small-scale battles, she always had the advantage of crushing the enemy, so she lacked the experience to cast spells in such a situation.
Perhaps … apart from the battlefield, she had only participated in hunting or duels …
This set of spells was indeed powerful. After using all of them, one person could go on a rampage among thousands of soldiers, just like the famous game on Earth, King of the Three Kingdoms. However, the problem was that … the opponent was neither a certain army, nor was it someone from the same race who fought with her in the arena, nor was it a stupid prey.
Right now, she was facing a young dragon and a veteran adventurer who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Josh didn't see it before, but now he was completely sure of Overa's fighting habits. He couldn't help but secretly laugh. He wouldn't fight this centaur in close combat. Without hesitation, he took out a scroll and activated it with his pitifully weak magic ability.
Because his magic ability wasn't very good, the process was unbearably slow. When he finished activating the scroll, Frost and Overa had already exchanged several rounds of spells, and both had a winner and a loser.
But that was the end of it.
After the scroll was fully activated, the scroll, which was made of magical beast leather, spontaneously combusted and turned into a pile of ashes. Countless light spots floated in the air and turned into a black rune that emitted a rotten stench. It whistled as it flew out, ignoring Overa's attempts to dodge or attack, and hit right on her body.
"Grass-eating idiot! Taste the power of the Blasphemy Rune! "
