Although her memory has faded over time, the black dragon Decdura in her impression is definitely not what she sees in front of her.
The strong body, broad and powerful black wings, the face sunken inward like a skull, the muscles and blood underneath, as well as the opponent's arrogance and self-esteem as a dragon, are all gone at this moment. What remains is the original.
The black dragon only has a still solid skeleton and a twisted soul.
A faint light blue light traveled between the bones, barely outlining the appearance of the black dragon. Located on the head, a pair of green flames slowly danced in the eye sockets of the skeleton, looking at each of them casually.
people.
She had no intention of launching an attack, and it seemed that the other party didn't either for the time being.
The Dracolich is a combat tool that absolutely obeys orders. Perhaps this is why Decdura turned a blind eye to everyone: the order it received was to guard the open space, not to hunt down anyone who entered its field of vision.
This is also one of the reasons why they have to fight. It is not difficult to convince Jade Stone, but persuading a dracolich to give up its 'mission' is simply an impossible task.
Beside her, Elio and Bell looked at each other, Grum frowned, and An looked thoughtful. Only the black-haired woman looked at the Celestials who came with them with interest, as if they were waiting.
Say something to the other person.
"Jill." She called the other person's name and raised her hand to point to the skeleton in the distance. "There's no way around this guy? We... don't really want to fight with it."
"It's a pity." Jill spread her hands, but her eyes still did not leave Ariel, "This is the core of the forest, and it is also the place where 'a certain secret' is hidden. The lich you have been looking for is probably hiding there.
Inside the secret."
It seemed that there was no other way. Lily turned her head in frustration, and also set her sights on Ariel. At this moment, the Tian clan who had been silent suddenly raised his head, with clearly visible determination in his eyes - and a little bit of
of joy.
"I just...contacted Lord Stark." She said in a positive tone, "The Lord told me that the "clone" left here was not his wish, but a "remnant" that was forced to be created.
As for the Dracolich, it was a choice made out 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 to remove those who are not responsible.
The evil creatures that exist in this continent."
"Okay, at least we have another helper instead of an enemy." Elio whistled, "But what should we do? We can't just... rush in headlessly, right?"
"Now you have learned to be cautious." Lily rolled her eyes at the young knight and asked Ann and Alphonse for advice again.
This time, neither of them could give a good enough opinion. An relied on the books she had read to roughly describe the attack methods and special abilities that "dracolich" might have, but she had no idea what weaknesses the opponent had.
Learned.
"Spitting, spells, and gazes that make people incapacitated..." After listening to An's words, Lily pondered, "None of them are easy to deal with."
"That's right." Jill smiled, "How about it, are you scared?"
"Probably...a little bit." Facing the question of whether she was an ally or an enemy, the female mercenary answered calmly, "But since this is the only way to find the lich, we can't be here.
Back off."
"That's a good answer." The black-haired woman nodded in appreciation, "Let's discuss how to kill that unlucky dragon."
…
In fact, the discussion does not have much practical significance. When a head-on battle is almost the only option, the only thing that can determine the outcome is the strength of both parties.
Ariel's joining was an unexpected gain. As a pure-blooded celestial being, she has a natural advantage in fighting undead creatures. Unfortunately, on the other hand, the attack method that the dracolich is good at can also easily cause huge trauma to her.
.
Ariel has no fear at all. In her words, dying in the battle against evil is one of the best destinations for a celestial warrior.
Lily couldn't understand the way of thinking of this group of heavenly people, and she didn't intend to try to understand. In the current situation, one more helper would be more powerful, at least she understood this truth.
"Then, as mentioned before, Jill, you are responsible for attracting the attention of the black dragon, and we try to cause damage to it, and then Ariel, you will launch the fatal blow." Lily concluded with this sentence,
"Is it okay to look like this?"
"For example, if I die accidentally." Bell stared hard at the female mercenary and said seriously, "You have to be responsible for erecting a tombstone for us in the volcano castle, and it says on it... Great and brave adventurer goes
Heaven, a place where barbecue and ale are served every day!”
"By the way, it's a pity that he didn't bring enough money." Gil added, while taking steps in the direction of the black dragon.
As if crossing an invisible boundary, the skeleton that was lying quietly suddenly raised its body, and the green flames in its eye sockets became brighter several times in an instant. The blue light covering the skeleton began to flow rapidly,
Clearly construct the illusion of a giant dragon.
Then the giant dragon spread its wings, kicked the ground hard with its hind legs, and flew into the air almost silently. Although only a blackened skeleton was left, the dracolich was not fragile - the powerful magic power all over the body was enough to make the black dragon
Move as freely as before.
For any creature that is good at flying, attacking from a high place seems to be an innate instinct.
Naturally, the black-haired woman did not intend to let it go as she wished, and she was not seen waving gestures or reciting incantations. The next moment, a door made of dim light opened from the top of the Dracolich's head out of thin air, and she stepped out of the door, using the freedom
The force of the fall hit the black dragon's spine with his right fist.
The Dracolich lowered his head angrily, aimed in the direction where the black-haired woman was falling, and sprayed out a deadly breath of death. However, another door opened on the ground a little further away, allowing Gil to escape before the black dragon's breath arrived.
attack range.
"It's a very convenient ability... Is that person named Bayard quite useful?" Lily commented to herself, holding the giant sword in her hand and running towards the open space ahead, "You guys
Listen up—let’s show that skeleton the strength of our Lilinonuo regiment! Of course, don’t die accidentally.”
Taking this as a declaration of war, everyone except An and Ariel picked up their own weapons and stepped into this battlefield with their 'leader' where if they were not careful, they might lose their lives.
