Although her memory has faded with time, the black dragon Dirkdura in her impression is by no means what she looks like in front of her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The strong body, the broad and powerful black wings, the skull-like sunken face, the muscles and blood underneath, and the arrogance and self-esteem of the other party as a dragon were all gone at this moment. What remains is the part that belongs to the original black dragon, only a skeleton that is still strong, and a distorted soul.

A faint pale blue light traveled between the bones, barely outlining the appearance of the black dragon. In the part of the skull, a pair of dark green flames slowly jumped in the eye sockets of the skeleton, casually looking at each of them.

She had no intention of attacking, and it seemed that the other party did not have it for the time being.

The Dragon Lich is a combat tool that absolutely obeys orders. Perhaps this is why Dikdura is blind to the crowd: it is instructed to guard the clearing, not to hunt down anyone who comes into its sight. This is one of the reasons why they have to fight, it is not difficult to convince the pyrassine, but it is simply an impossible task to convince a dragon lich to give up the 'mission'.

Beside her, Elio and Bell looked at each other, Grum frowned, and Ann looked thoughtful. Only the black-haired woman looked at the Celestials who had come with her with interest, as if waiting for the other to say something.

"Jill." She called out the other party's name, and raised her hand to the skeleton in the distance, "There's no way to get around this guy?" We...... I don't really want to fight it. ”

"It's a pity." Jill spread her hands, her eyes still not taking off Ariel, "This is the heart of the forest, and the place where 'some secret' is hidden. The lich you've been looking for is probably hiding in that secret. ”

It seems that there is no way. Lily turned her head a little dejected, and her gaze fell on Ariel. At this moment, the Celestials, who had been silent, suddenly raised their heads, with a clear determination in their eyes - and a little joy.

"I just ...... Got in touch with Master Stark. She said in an affirmative tone, "My lord told me that the 'clone' left here was not his wish, but a 'remnant' of a forced corpse. As for the dragon lich, it was also a choice of desperation at that time. She looked directly at the skeleton in the distance, "Following the wishes of Lord Protodis, and Lord Stark, I will assist you in ridding you of the evil creatures that should not exist on this continent. ”

"Well, at least we have another helper, not an enemy." Elio whistled, "But what the hell are we going to do, we can't ...... Just rush up with no head and no brains, right? ”

"Now you've learned to be cautious." Lily gave the young knight a blank look, and asked Ann and Alphonse for advice again.

This time, neither was able to give a good enough opinion. Based on the books she had read, Ann had a rough description of the attacks and special abilities that the Dragon Lich might have, but she had no way of knowing what weaknesses the opponent had.

"Spitting, spells, and incapacitating gazes......" Lily muttered after hearing Ann's words, "none of them are easy to deal with." ”

"Exactly." Jill laughed, "How, are you scared?" ”

"Probably...... It's a little bit. Faced with a question of whether it was an ally or an enemy, the mercenary calmly replied, "However, since this is the only way to find the lich, we can't back down here." ”

"Very good answer." The dark-haired woman nodded in appreciation, "Then let's discuss how to take out that hapless dragon." ”

……

In fact, the discussion did not make much practical sense. Hard-to-head combat is almost the only option, and the only thing that can determine the outcome is the strength of both sides.

Ariel's addition was a bonus. As a pure-blooded Celestial, she has a natural advantage against undead creatures. Unfortunately, on the other hand, the dragon lich's attack methods can also easily inflict great trauma on her.

Ariel has no fear of this, and in her words, dying in battle against evil is one of the best places for a Celestial warrior.

Lily couldn't understand the way the Celestials were thinking, and she didn't plan to try to. In the current situation, one more helper is more strength, at least she understands this truth.

"Then, as I said before, Jill, you are responsible for attracting the attention of the black dragon, we will do as much damage to it as possible, and then Ariel, you will deliver the fatal blow." Lily concluded with this sentence, "Is this okay?" ”

"For example, if I accidentally die." Bell stared hard at the mercenary and said solemnly, "You are responsible for erecting a tombstone for us in Volcano Castle, and it will be written on it...... The great and heroic adventurer went to Heaven, a place where barbecue and ale were served every day! ”

"By the way, it's a pity that he didn't bring enough money." Jill added, taking steps in the direction of the black dragon at the same time.

As if crossing some invisible line, the skeleton that had been lying quietly suddenly propped up its body, and the green flames in its eyes were more than several times brighter in an instant. The faint blue ** power light covering the skeleton began to flow rapidly, clearly constructing the illusion of a giant dragon.

Then the dragon spread its wings and kicked the ground with its hind limbs, sending it into the air almost silently. Despite being left with a blackened skeleton, the dragon lich is not fragile - the magic that pervades its entire body is powerful enough to allow the black dragon to move as freely as it had been.

For any creature that is good at flying, attacking from a high altitude seems to be an innate instinct.

The black-haired woman didn't intend to let it go, and she didn't see her waving her gestures or chanting incantations, and in the next moment, a glimmer of light opened from the top of the dragon lich's head, and she stepped out of the door, and with the force of the free fall, her right fist hit the black dragon's backbone.

The dragon lich lowered its head in anger, aiming in the direction of the black-haired woman's fall, and spewed out a deadly breath of death. However, another door opened on the ground a little farther away, allowing Jill to escape from range before the black dragon's spit could reach.

"It's a handy ability...... That guy named Bayard is very useful, isn't he? Lily commented to herself, holding the greatsword in her hand and running towards the clearing in front of her, "Listen to you—the strength of our Lilianor, let that skeleton show you!" Of course, don't die by accident. ”

With this as a declaration of war, everyone except Ann and Ariel took up their weapons and stepped into this battlefield with their 'captain', which could cost their lives if they were not careful.
