Chapter 627: Chapter 346 The Sword That Absorbs Enemy’s Power! Sword of Power!_1

After about two hours, Ivita and Hearthstone Witch hacked a set of rock steps straight through the valley and reached Dragonbone Mountain, as indicated by the Frog Princess.

There were no real dragon bones on Dragonbone Mountain, only peaks shaped like dragon bones, which looked ferocious and magnificent. Surprisingly, there was a huge wooden fort built on the mountainside.

Within this wooden fort on the mountainside lived many carrion monsters, which were blind.

As soon as Ivita and Hearthstone Witch approached, the carrion monsters all sniffed them out. Each one was very excited, as if they sensed the arrival of living humans.

These carrion monsters were all wearing pirates’ clothes, with swords and knives in their hands.

In the center of these monsters was one who had a human body from the waist up and a horse’s body from the waist down, which meant he had six limbs—four horse legs and two arms.

This guy was also in a state of blindness.

But his sense of hearing was extraordinarily good. Just as Ivita and Hearthstone Witch climbed to the middle of Dragonbone Mountain and were observing the pirate den on the mountain from a distance, they were sensed by Captain Centaur Jack.

Centaur Jack raised his two long guns and targeted Ivita and Hearthstone Witch, shooting at them. Despite the one hundred meters distance, the bullets from his flintlocks honed in directly on the foreheads of Ivita and Hearthstone Witch.

He tried to kill them with one shot!

Hearthstone Witch raged, "That is...those are model 4 pirate ship components."

"Damn it, these dangerous things existed sixty years ago. But what’s more outrageous is the keen sense of hearing that monster has!"

Ivita pulled her to the side and ran, and the next moment, there were two bullet holes in the place where they had been standing.

Ivita then heard another gunshot from the opponent.

Just as the Frog Princess had said, this guy was a fast gunner indeed.

Ivita swung his Ice Sword Wand forward. With his magic power simply amplified by the Dragon Tooth Wand, his power turned into a completely pure cold aura, swallowing the two bullets shooting at him.

Ivita pulled the Hearthstone Witch behind a rock.

Only then did they get time to discuss their strategy.

Hearthstone Witch said to Ivita, "He shot too quickly earlier; I didn’t have time to react. Your Majesty, I will turn into a vulture later and drop several magic plant seeds from the sky. Their entire fort will perish, and the power from the ritual will be yours."

Ivita decisively shook his head. "You have a good plan, but I am afraid that fast gunner Jack will take advantage of your transformation into a vulture flying in the sky and shoot you down."

Hearthstone Witch shrunk her neck in fright.

Ivita said, "What’s most outrageous is those pirates hiding in this mountain, acting like bandits."

"Both of the guns in the hands of the Centaur are model 4 components, capable of severely injuring the Great Knights and threatening the Superior Knights. Plus, he is a sharpshooter and fast gunner combined, making him a tough opponent."

Hearthstone Witch: "I guess they saw the bandits flourishing and decided not to be pirates anymore, fleeing to the mountains instead. Your Majesty, you go out to distract them, and I will deal with them. As long as we seize the opportunity to kill that fast gunner Jack, the others are nothing."

Ivita shook his head. "As time goes by, I realize that fights cannot be won by brute force alone. Intelligence and wisdom are the most advantageous tools for reversing the situation. I have a better idea... Listen, you use magic to cut out a piece of stone slab in the ground."

"Then you should do it like this..."

...

Centaur Jack in the distance heard a noise. He sniffed, and with his third-rank Centaur Priest abilities, along with his sharp hearing and sense of smell honed from years of dwelling in this territory without light, he deduced that the two trespassers weren’t hit by his previous two shots.

"Boys, do you smell the humans?"

"Go and eat them quickly. Captain Marco Anson will reward you handsomely!" Centaur Jack was quick-thinking. ’The humans who came in definitely aren’t our people. We had agreed to maintain this situation, although it is not greatly advantageous to us, it’s the safest and relatively beneficial.’

’However, both of the intruders are wizards and the most damn witches.’

’This is tricky.’

’Also, the male wizard carries Captain Mark Anson’s scent. No way he was sent by the captain. I voluntarily sacrificed myself for the Pirate Republic, and everyone understands that, so why does he carry the captain’s scent?!’

Centaur Jack activated the ritual formation he had long prepared. Intricate blood sacrifice patterns appeared on the ground around the mountainside. The objects of sacrifice were the carrion monsters.

These carrion monsters, in Centaur Jack’s view, were his former minions who had turned into worthless beings now. Their only use was to be offered in a sacrifice, sacrificing everything, to increase his own power.

With the start of the sacrifice ceremony, a continuous stream of blood magic was offered to the centaur tribe’s "Spirit of the Wilderness," which then returned power back to him.
