Chapter 114
Yet even so, their path had come to an absolute end.
Because...
The third challenge was yet another BOSS— A Leader-level BOSS!
Another Leader-level BOSS that dynamically scaled with the player's level and strength!
It was a Golden Centaur standing on an endless green grassland, holding a silver bow.
The centaur wasn’t particularly large, only two or three times the size of an ordinary person.
At the moment, it was leisurely strolling across the plains, appearing harmless and docile.
But when Qin Han saw it, a rare trace of barely perceptible fear flickered in his gaze.
In his previous life, relying on his top-tier class, he had managed to reach this stage.
This centaur was fast, capable of ranged attacks, and extremely troublesome to deal with.
In a one-on-one situation, it was the Leader-level monster players dreaded facing the most.
Back then, he had exhausted every means at his disposal, pushing himself to the limit, grinding for an entire day and night before barely managing to kill the creature.
But after slaying the centaur, his body was severely wounded, and he had exhausted his last healing potion, forcing him to withdraw in defeat.
His journey had ended right there!
His ranking had barely scraped into the 90 Million!
That battle was one of the most deeply etched memories in his mind.
At the time, he hadn’t been in the game for long—his combat experience paled in comparison to the Myriad Heavens' top experts, and his equipment was inferior to theirs as well.
Countless times, he had faced life-or-death crises under the centaur’s relentless attacks.
But this life was different.
The path that had once been impassable— this time, he would see it through to the end!
Qin Han’s sharp gaze locked onto the distant centaur.
As if sensing the killing intent in his eyes, the creature turned its head to look back at him.
Their eyes met.
In the next instant, both sides launched their attacks in unspoken unison.
Streaks of arrows crisscrossed through the air.
This time, Qin Han chose to face it head-on, not even bothering to dodge, his fingers moving with lightning precision as his gaze remained razor-sharp.
In contrast, the centaur, after suffering several high-damage hits, revealed a flicker of fear in its eyes and began evading.
Qin Han stood unmoving, his hands never pausing for even a second!
The more chaotic the enemy became, the more openings they revealed— and this gave him ample opportunities to strike at vital points.
Across the grassland, yellow indicators of Fatal Damage continuously erupted.
The centaur dodged left and right, but its HP continued to plummet rapidly.
Before long, the centaur’s health bar dropped to half, and it collapsed to the ground with a thunderous crash.
In an instant, its body began to mutate, erupting with intense flames that scorched a vast stretch of the surrounding grassland.
Then, its form started to expand, limbs bursting forth from its torso— until finally, it grew Three Heads and Six Arms!
Each of its six hands wielded a different weapon: a Wolf-toothed Club, a Warhammer, a Warblade, a Greatsword, a Scythe, and a Short Spear.
The bow it had once used was now discarded!
Transformed, the flame-wreathed centaur resembled a molten monster emerging from the inferno as it charged toward Qin Han at breakneck speed!
Yet Qin Han remained rooted in place, not even blinking.
"Foolish. Although the centaur's second phase enhances its Defense, switching from ranged to melee combat actually limits its strength. With such a bulky frame, it can only be kited. In my past life, if it hadn't shifted to this second form, which made it easier to deal with, I probably wouldn't have been able to defeat it at all."
Raising the Godslayer Bow, he continuously fired at the centaur's thick joints. When the centaur charged within fifty meters of him, a loud crack echoed, and its entire body instantly lost balance, crashing face-first into the ground.
Strike while the iron is hot!
He swiftly adjusted his aim with the Godslayer Bow, relentlessly targeting the centaur's vital head. Before long, the centaur's health bar emptied completely, and with one final resentful roar, it collapsed with a thunderous crash.
"You have slain the Leader-level BOSS, the Great Bow Centaur, and gained 123,396 Experience Points."
At the same time, Qin Han's competition points increased by another 1,000, reaching a total of 3,000 points! He remained firmly in first place!
The centaur's death left behind 10,000 gold coins and a red crystal, which appeared identical in shape to the blue crystal dropped by the Stone Crystal Commander.
