Chapter 156: Promotion again, the demise of the dragon lich, and new forbidden artifacts!
(The next chapter will be posted a little later)
When people are killed, they die. This is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
The living must be stronger than the dead, otherwise people would not be afraid of death.
Just like undead creatures, the strength of any living creature will be greatly weakened after becoming an undead creature.
The strength of the Undead Legion lies in its advantage in numbers, not in the strength of its individual members.
Liches are not dead. Liches are actually living beings. However, no matter whether they are humans or dragons, they gain the abilities of "undead creatures" after transforming themselves into liches.
Amos knew very well that the reason why the dragon lich was feared and avoided by the dragons was not because of its inherent strength.
An eight-ring dracolich is no match for such a huge group of dragons, even a nine-ring dragon.
But this dragon lich obtained the power of the dragon and mastered some of the power.
This is why the dragon fears it.
The sins of the corresponding races have extremely powerful influences on their respective races. Even a nine-ring dragon does not want to be inspired to feel hatred by the sins.
The dragon lich also attempted to use this to make some dragons surrender and lay the foundation for it to conquer the world.
Since Amos dared to face the dragon lich with the power of dragon evil, he was naturally well prepared.
This method is exactly the same as the way the dragon lich controls the power of the dragon, which is to transform itself into an undead creature!
Likewise, transforming into a dracolich is no longer possible.
The lich transformation ritual is too complicated and has a success rate.
Even a ninth-ringed Undead Mage cannot guarantee a 100% success rate, especially since the transformation from a dragon-lich is more difficult.
This fallen red dragon is a madman himself. He was gambling with his own life, and he succeeded.
Amos didn't dare to gamble, so he could only settle for the next best option and use a more reliable method.
Undead are dead, and dead dragons are nowhere near as powerful as living ones.
However, the power of the Dark Moon Goddess that Deya possesses can overcome this to a certain extent.
Even the Dark Moon Goddess, who is in charge of some deaths, cannot restore all undead creatures to their original strength.
But for every ring Deya has, he contracts a heroic template undead creature, which is enough for him.
Before committing suicide and turning himself into an undead creature, Amos had made all the preparations, and the silver dragon also cast the corresponding magic on him.
This means that even if Amos dies, he can retain his self-consciousness for a short period of time, which is equivalent to turning him into a dragon lich for a certain period of time!
Under the shock of the fallen red dragon, the silver dragon Amos took the initiative to spit out the dragon's heart, causing himself to quickly go from life to death.
This decisiveness shocked the dragon lich.
After all, it lost information and did not know about Deya's "Ritual of Resurrection of the Dead", a power belonging to God. Otherwise, it would never do such a thing that would end up in a loss.
Using a phylactery as bait is a bold approach, and one that fits the audacity of someone who dared to transform himself into a dracolich.
But the Fallen Red Dragon lost the bet in the end.
Gambler, you will never die well!
The dragon's hot heart fell to the ground.
In Amos's upright dragon pupils, the breath of the living slowly dissipated, and there was no longer any shining light.
But at this moment, Deya started the ceremony.
The preparations for the ritual had already been made on Amos' body, and as soon as it died, it would start instantly!
The power of the goddess descended, and the lonely and cold moon made the dragon lich realize that something was wrong even though it did not know the purpose of this ritual.
It fell from the sky like crazy, trying to take back its own life box before the ritual was completed!
But the dragon lich's huge body paused in the air for a moment.
The witch Mavis used her power of charm to try to seduce the dragon lich.
But this time, the witch's charm failed.
Liches are naturally highly resistant to similar enchantment abilities.
Especially since the dragon lich was facing a life crisis at this time, its will resistance was even stronger, which only allowed Mavis to charm it for a very short time.
"Get away, you ugly reptile, I'll come back and kill you later!"
An angry dragon roar uttered from the dragon lich's mouth, and the huge sound waves caused ripples in the air.
An eight-ring dragon is inherently more powerful than an eight-ring elf.
In addition, as a lich, he has great resistance to charm.
This was not just a statement of anger; the dragon lich really had the ability to kill the witch Mavis.
But the moment when Mavis interrupted the other party was enough for Deya and Amos to complete their ceremony!
"hold head high----"
The dim dragon pupils of Amos lit up again, but this time, burning in its eyes was the same pale flame as Deya's.
The biggest drawback of the 'Ritual of Resurrection of the Dead' is that the resurrected sixth and seventh rings do not have mythical power.
In the same way, even if an eight-ring strongman is resurrected, he will not possess the power of the domain that belongs exclusively to an eight-ring strongman.
This part of power is not under the control of the Dark Moon Goddess, and even the goddess cannot do it.
However, Amos was well prepared, which allowed him to retain all the strength of an eight-ring dragon for a short period of time even after he was transformed into an undead creature!
The might of the 'dead dragon' reappeared, and Amos raised his right front paw and the huge wing.
Incredible frost power gathered on his right front paw and wings.
His wings instantly became a hundred meters long, composed entirely of the purest frost power.
The cold wind blew violently, as if sweeping away everything. On the huge frost wings were Amos's final will and persistence.
The influence of the dragon's evil was infinitely reduced in front of the dead dragon, and now Amos has regained all his sanity.
"Fallen red dragon, I will not allow you to persecute my people again. Lord Dragon God, please let me, Amos, completely kill this fallen dragon that has violated the taboo!"
The giant dragon, which was over forty meters long, let out a deafening roar, and its hundred-meter-long frost wings suddenly slammed down to the ground!
"No, no!! Stop it, you damn silver dragon, stop it!"
The dragon lich let out a piercing scream.
Its great plan has just begun, and it has not yet started its journey to conquer the world.
With its own wisdom and luck, it found a way to control the power of the dragon. It tried its best and risked its life to successfully transform itself into a dragon lich. How could it die here!
The dragon lich tried frantically to stop Amos, but it was too late.
"boom------"
Amos's front claws and right wing gathered the strongest power of his life and bombarded the life box on the ground. Although there was a powerful mystery lock on the life box, under the full force of the eight-ring dragon, even the mystery lock was forcibly broken.
The power of frost spread wildly, covering the broken castle and the completely shattered mountain with thick white frost.
Even though Deya ran some distance, he was almost killed by the residual power of the eight-ring dragon.
It was the witch Mavis who stood in front of him and protected him from harm with the power of an eight-ring wizard.
The mountains were shattered and snowflakes fell from the sky.
The metal box that contained the dragon lich's soul, along with the magic mystery lock on it, was completely destroyed.
The dracolich's terrifying body froze in mid-air, its ferocious expression forever frozen in this moment.
"You damned silver dragon, and that damned necromancer..."
"My dream has not yet come true... We dragons are the most powerful, and we, the most powerful ones, should rule the world..."
"You dragons who only know how to eat, drink, and sleep, don't understand the importance of wisdom and knowledge..."
"I want to change you. You should submit to the stronger me, the wiser me..."
The dragon lich murmured, and its huge body fell to the ground unwillingly.
Liches are living beings, but they have the characteristics of the dead.
Therefore, when a lich dies, it is completely dead, and there is no possibility of becoming an undead creature again.
The life box was shattered, the soul was annihilated, and the huge, dry dragon body of the lich turned into ashes bit by bit. They were blown away by the breeze and scattered on the white land.
This rare dragon lich eventually died from its own "cleverness".
But it's not over yet.
The lich's life box was broken, but the dragon power inside it was still there.
Even though this dragon lich has studied for so long, it can only utilize the power of dragon evil, and cannot control or eliminate the "evil".
The breath of extreme hatred let out a wailing sound. Even though it was the dragon's sin, its powerful strength still made Deya and Mavis change color.
An illusory dragon like a wronged ghost appeared in front of everyone. It had no fixed form, no body or soul, and it was not even known whether it was alive or dead. It was a monster formed entirely of hatred.
As the true face of Long Xie was revealed, this power also stirred the thoughts of everyone present, causing them to overflow with hatred from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially since this power has nothing to do with the number of rings. No matter if you are an ordinary person or a nine-ring person, the power of hatred will treat you equally.
In essence, the power of evil actually has some of the characteristics of God!
Deya and Mavis, one human and one elf, were both greatly affected. One can imagine how much of an impact the dragon would suffer when facing the evil dragon.
No wonder the dragon lich can make the entire race of dragons hide with the power of just eight rings.
The red dragon that was controlled by Mavis's charm had its charm lifted as soon as it came into contact with the dragon evil, and the red dragon itself fell into madness.
When Amos saw the dragon power that was about to spread out, he opened his dragon mouth without thinking and forcefully sucked the dragon power into his body.
Then he used the characteristics of the 'dead dragon' to seal the power of the dragon in his own body!
Hateful creatures like evil are already extremely rare, and dragon evil is the rarest type of evil.
Even for Amos, the eight-ringed dragon, the only dragon monster he knew of was the one in front of him.
In order to prevent the evil dragon from escaping and continuing to harm the dragon, or even being used by others, all Amos can do is to merge himself with the evil dragon and seal it completely!
As Amos sealed the dragon evil in his body, the seven-ring red dragon also regained some sanity.
But what greeted it was a huge dragon claw of Amos, which directly tore through the red dragon's scales and pierced into its chest.
The red dragon wailed, and dragon blood spurted out like a fountain. Amos's huge dragon claws grabbed the red dragon's heart directly and took it out!
Deya looked at the dragon's heart with regret. This was an excellent magical material and was a necessity for many large magical devices.
But dragons are too powerful, and humans do not have the ability to hunt them, so dragon hearts are very rare.
But this is the world remembrance, and the things inside cannot be taken away. This is the mechanism of the world remembrance, probably because they are afraid of causing time confusion.
After killing the red dragon, Amos's last bit of consciousness began to slowly fade away.
High-level undead creatures have a certain degree of self-awareness, but Deya's own level is too low, which makes it impossible for him to maintain all the consciousness of his contracted creatures.
Only when Deya's strength increases again, can his high-level undead creatures recover some of their memories from their previous lives.
"There's not much time left, Deya... I won't say any more."
"You helped me kill the dracolich, I am grateful, and the dragon will thank you too... According to our agreement, I hope you can take good care of Ignis. You have seen her character."
"And as a price, the living Amos is gone. The dead Amos will be loyal to you, and everything I have will belong to you!"
Amos's words were intermittent, and his last consciousness dissipated from his mind, completely turning into a true "immortal dragon".
Before Deya's words could reach Amos, his consciousness had already dissipated.
But Deya was not sad.
If this is really just a memory of the world, then this is just a future direction changed by oneself, and the development in reality may not be like this.
But if, if Deya's guess is correct, and he really has the ability to change the past, then he and Amos can meet again.
When they become stronger and can restore consciousness to the undead creatures, they can complete the unfinished words.
"That's perfect. Let's use this world recollection to determine where the problem lies."
The Time Witch Lamia participated in the first two World Recollections.
Therefore, Deya was unable to determine whether the ability that seemed to change the past was due to his own fault or Lamia's fault.
Lamia did not participate in this world recollection, so Deya will be able to judge whose power it is based on the results of this world recollection.
[Mission: Find a way to escape from this island (completed)]
A prompt came from the panel.
Even though Deya had not escaped from the island at this time, the dragon lich was already dead, and the World Memory judged that he had completed the mission.
Seeing the prompt, Deya felt a little regretful.
He thought he could stay in this world's memories for a few hours, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would not have the chance to see Raymond and Ignis again.
With this thought in mind, Deya and Mavis disappeared from the island nine hundred years ago.
