Chapter 311 - 194 The Last Believer among the Half-Dragon Men_2
[You and ’Broken-horned Sharu’ are hiding on either side of the living room cave entrance, silently waiting for the overseer to return.]
[...]
[After a long wait, the familiar sound of footsteps gradually approach.]
[You grip your long spear tightly, hiding behind the cave wall. You look at ’Broken-horned Sharu’. It seems very tense.]
[The footsteps are getting closer. The mixed-blood overseer is about to enter the living room...]
[’Broken-horned Sharu’ nods at you, launching its attack first. It springs out and thrusts its spear at the mixed-blood overseer!]
[You do not hide any longer but follow ’Broken-horned Sharu’ in the sneak attack.]
[The mixed-blood overseer is caught off guard by the spear, but the scene you imagined full of splattering blood does not occur.]
[Perhaps it is because ’Broken-horned Sharu’ is too nervous, its spear actually strikes the patchy scales on the overseer’s body.]
[The spear cannot penetrate the scales, and the sneak attack only pushes the mixed-blood overseer back several steps.]
[And it’s precisely this retreating distance that allows the mixed-blood overseer to dodge your fatal blow.]
