Chapter 53 The soul of the deceased is controlled by me!

There is not much time left.

Tyrus wanted to escort the children away and leave early with the few remaining Hylian people.

Because the golem's movements were too slow, Josh was only followed by Ryze, Kalista, and Ledros, and arrived at a pastoral area on the outskirts of Hylia City.

On the way, Kalista quickly explained to Josh how they arrived at Blessed Light Island and the situation of the Kamavian army outside the Holy Aura.

The Sword Eagle was not driven away by Foego. They found some of their confidants as sailors. Under the leadership of Captain Venix, who was familiar with the route, they arrived at the Anaconda Islands faster than the Kamavian fleet.

.

The Baru people on the island did not welcome the Kamavians, but Kalista brought the news of the king's personal expedition, so the Baru people were fully prepared and hid them all.

Foego, Hecarim and nearly a thousand Iron Legion soldiers fell into the air.

Hecarim originally wanted to use Kamavian tradition and plunder all the treasures of Baru.

But Foego's thoughts were only on his own queen, and coupled with the persuasion of Councilor Nekrit, this might offend the sea god Nagakapoulos, so Hecarim had to give up.

After capturing innocent passers-by on the island who did not belong to the Baru sect, the Iron Legion army left and returned to the fog, trying to find a breakthrough.

Seeing the sincerity of Kalista and Ledros, an explorer who happened to stop at the Serpent Islands took them around the island and entered it from the side.

Venix and the common soldiers drove the Sword Eagle to respond from the outside.

Although the two rushed to Hylia in a hurry, they were not trusted by the elders and masters and had a quarrel, but it was understandable.

After all, the news that Blessed Light Island was not a legend was revealed by Kalista's entourage.

Now that the situation is critical, Callista has no time to thank Josh for his trust.

Since they are on the same side now, in order to protect Blessed Island and her crazy uncle, Kalista will naturally help Ledros with all their strength.

Although the two of them are ordinary people, facing the thousands of troops of the Iron Regiment, they can only play a limited role.

The atmosphere was dull and tense. Only the livestock heard the roar of the dragon and instinctively screamed in panic. The entire area was in chaos.

[Dragon training, Ancient Shurima’s technology is much better than Kamavia’s, what we tamed is the ancient monster, the Winged Chimera!]

[Feeded animals will not hurt people, but if you want them to go to the battlefield, you have to starve them for a few days, so that they will be more aggressive on the battlefield.]

[According to my experience and the information I heard, the Kamavian dragon has been hungry for at least a month.]

[Compared to skinny humans without much fat, giant dragons prefer fat cattle, sheep or other livestock. 】

[Hylia has basically been evacuated, and those fleeing for their lives are relatively sparse. You only need to release these livestock, and the dragon will be attracted to it. 】

Josh followed Lunessia's instructions and released all the livestock in this small pastoral area.

The appearance was very strange, with chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep that were quite different from reality, and some livestock that Josh had not studied and could not name, scurrying away into the distance.

At this time, it had completely broken into the holy mist, and the giant dragon flying over Hylia in search of prey was quickly attracted.

The dragons of Kamavia are a small type of flying dragon, with only wings and hind limbs, and can only rely on physical means to attack.

Josh took out three bottles of water from Ryze's bag and handed them to Kalista and Ledros respectively, "Take this."

"This is?"

Calista took it doubtfully and was about to open it when she heard Josh say without looking back: "The water of life you were craving for before, keep a full pot in case of accidents."

Kalista stopped when she was about to remove the cork of the bottle. Ledros beside her couldn't help but exclaimed: "Water of life?! Does it really exist?"

"Keep your voice down!" Ryze frowned and glared at Ledros, making a silent gesture, "Don't attract the dragon's attention!"

At this moment, accompanied by a dragon roar, a black shadow covered the sun and quickly passed over everyone's heads.

Josh looked up at the giant dragon and immediately turned back to everyone: "Let's catch up quickly!"

An unfortunate Enuk bull was targeted by a dragon.

The greedy dragon converged its wings and dived downwards. After approaching the prey on the ground, the sharp claws of its hind limbs easily penetrated the thick body surface of Enuk cattle like cutting through paper, and suddenly spread its wings and vibrated into the air again.

Blood was splashed from the air, and after just a moment of useless struggle, the Enuk cow lost its voice under its sharp claws.

With the prey in hand, the giant dragon landed contentedly on a flat grassland with bushes, and concentrated on enjoying its first meal.

As a species at the top of the food chain, or because it has been tamed and lost some of its wildness, the giant dragon has no intention of being wary of its surroundings even if the environment is unfamiliar.

And this happened to give Josh and others an opportunity.

The bloody hunter never imagined that one day he would become the prey.

The hunter's instinct made him notice something strange, but by then it was already too late.

As Kalista approached, she suddenly jumped up and threw the spear in her hand with an angry roar.

The dark shadow in the amber vertical pupils gradually widened, and the dragon, feeling the crisis, tried to turn around to avoid it, but unexpectedly fell into Kalista's hands.

As one of the heirs to the Shining Silver Throne after the Lion of Kamavia, Kalista was well-read and later joined the army at a young age. Naturally, she knew the habits of her country's dragons very well.

She predicted the dragon's dodge movement, and the sharp spear was like an arrow off the string, accurately piercing the dragon's right eye socket.

The IQ of the dragons of the flying dragon species is higher than that of ordinary livestock, but it is still not as good as humans who are full of wisdom and know how to divide labor and cooperate.

The dragon's blood flowed out, and the dragon roared in pain and anger.

"Well done!" Ledros, who had to hide far away due to his huge size, cheered.

Without her weapon, Kalista quickly retreated, and the bald man quickly ran to her side with a shield and a sword, protecting her behind him.

The giant dragon's single eye glared at the two little men not far away. The claws at the tips of its scaly wings supported its body and crawled forward quickly, intending to bite them through with its bared fangs.

At this moment, Josh and Ryze jumped out of the bushes not far behind the dragon, purple runes burning in their flesh.

Complex and obscure arcane runes quickly appeared on the fingertips, and a strong arcane aura spread in the air.

Sensing the sudden crisis behind him, the giant dragon widened its one eye and tried to turn around and defend itself.

"Don't even think about it!"

Ledros strode towards the dragon, his agility not matching his tall body.

He rolled to avoid the sweeping sweep of the dragon's wings, and the sharp blade in his right hand slashed at the dragon's weak heart that was not protected by scales, cutting open a large piece of flesh.

The dragon roared in pain and tried to bite Ledras who was dodging.

But almost at the same time, a series of overloaded runes from Josh and Ryze left traces in the air.

The generated magic explosion crackled all over the dragon's body, tearing apart pieces of scales and flesh.

"Hahaha! That's it!"

Half of its body was under the indiscriminate bombardment of rune magic, and the dragon's attention was attracted.

But Ledros on the other side took advantage of the victory and pursued it, slashing back and forth with a sword of far larger than ordinary size in his hand, leaving many wounds on the weak points of the dragon's body that, although not fatal, could affect its movement.

The life force passed quickly, and finally the fearful dragon tried to flap its wings and rise into the sky, away from these crazy mortals.

But Josh, who had already anticipated this, quickly made hand gestures and said an ancient saying, and threw out a ball of arcane magic to mark the dragon's wings.

"Ritz, can you increase the firepower?"

Ryze, whose whole body was almost covered in blue-purple rune marks, responded loudly: "Of course!"

"You use overload magic, and we'll blow up its wings together!"

Taking a big mouthful of the essence, it blended with the boiling magic power in his body. Josh's eyes flashed, and the complex runes reappeared, gradually accumulating into a ball.

Josh's left arm trembled, and the magic power reached its limit.

The next second, he suddenly fired an arcane pulse like a laser.

Under the guidance of the arcane mark, the magic pulse turned into the air the moment it came into contact with the giant dragon that was almost off the surface, and then fell straight down in a "Z" shape, like a lightning bolt falling from the sky, piercing the fascia and membrane of the dragon's wings.

flesh.

The huge body suddenly fell to the ground, knowing that there was no possibility of escaping. At the end of the crossbow, the dragon's blood pupils ignited with a deathly light, intending to fight to the death, and before dying, he pulled a mortal to support him.

However, it chose the wrong target - Josh.

【Haha, how dare this beast come towards you?】

The dance of death knife that Josh holds tightly in his right hand has amber vertical pupils that rotate in the trough, flashing like a bloodthirsty and excited luster.

【Kill it and then devour it!】

Josh grabbed the back of the handle with his left hand, held the blade across his face, and pointed the sword directly at the dragon.

Taking a long breath of the essence, arcane energy penetrates the body, and the runes engraved deep in the flesh shine even more brightly.

Josh's red eyes were covered with blue-purple magical light, and his perception and physical fitness were greatly improved.

With the blessing of magic, the surrounding air began to slow down, and the dragon's mad rush towards his body seemed to be slowed down by countless beats.

Then, he stepped forward and sprinted against the dragon.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Josh "flickered" in front of the dragon, and the sharp point of the dance of death penetrated the dragon's reverse scales and pierced its beating heart.

Lunishia's mature voice echoed in Josh's mind: [Exhilarating! The smell of flesh and blood, I have been waiting for a long time!]

The dark power of death instantly wrapped around the entire dragon body.
