The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 929 - 0926: Lich King (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch bonus 15/147)
Chapter 929: Chapter 0926: Lich King (Third Update, Alliance Hierarch bonus 15/147)
The chaotic super magic of the Bone Dragon constantly flowed out from the pale blue skeleton mask, rapidly enveloping Liszt in a pale blue framework of bones.
In a moment, Liszt, who had previously worn Flack Abaie’s clothes, had transformed into an armored warrior wrapped in layered pale blue bones.
Unlike the massive skeleton of the Bone Dragon form, these bones were very fine, allowing them to closely form a body-fitting bone armor. The gaps radiated pale blue lights, staining the white bones with a blue hue, not only compensating for the pale and feeble appearance of the bones but also adding much mystique.
The armor as a whole mimicked the form of a knight’s armor, but still bore fierce-looking bone spikes at various spots.
A powerful force enveloped Liszt. This was a special state of entanglement between the Dragon’s Super Magic and the Dragon Dou Qi within him, which meant that although he primarily retained his human form, he could partially maintain the Bone Dragon’s formidable power—he would define this state as a “Semi-Dragon Rider.”
Thus, what he wore was not merely armor, but a powered exoskeleton.
“Powerful, abundant, this is the armor I have longed for!” Liszt stretched out a hand, observing his palm wrapped in dense bone fragments, as a pale blue flame freely ignited within his palm.
This involved the soul power of chaotic super magic, constantly operating in the form of flames.
“Your Highness, I can extend further. Do you need a Dragon Lance or a Longsword?” Vinnie’s thoughts flashed in his mind.
In this Semi-Dragon Rider state, he and Vinnie could still connect mentally, albeit not as profoundly as during Dragon Riding—roughly at a level between riding and separation, somewhat detached.
“Dragon Lance, Longsword?” Liszt pondered, “No need for now, I still want to make some modifications to the armor transformed from the Bone Dragon, Vinnie, maintain this state.”
“Don’t worry, Your Highness. I’ve never felt this powerful before. Ever since I became a Specter, I’ve had no sensation of hot and cold or pain. Today is the only day I’ve felt exceptionally fulfilled. My fusion with the Bone Dragon’s soul is perfect, showing no signs of disintegration.”
“Then, I am relieved.”
Liszt communicated briefly with Vinnie in his mind, then turned to Ach who was watching the spectacle and said, “Help me form a larger mirror and then give me some feedback on what parts of this Dragon Bone Armor need improvement.”
“Mmm-hmm.”
With a casual wave of his hand, Ach conjured a huge water mirror out of thin air, three sides in total, surrounding Liszt at the front, back, and right—the left side was where Ach was standing, so no mirror was placed there.
The reflections in the mirror fully displayed Liszt’s Dragon Bone Armor, every detail exposed to view.
“The dragon bone at the neck position is too thick, it feels a bit short and stubby, needs to be trimmed down a bit.”
“The waist part, too, needs to retain its lines, and the joint section shouldn’t be too tight to avoid restricting movement.”
“The entire set of armor is too tightly protective. As a powerful Dragon Knight, I do not need such suffocating coverage. Key parts just need dragon bones; make the gaps bigger to let the blue light fill them, making it look more mystical.”
“Replace the helmet’s cock’s comb decoration with bull horns; just use the original pair of bull horns from the Bone Dragon.”
“The face mask should cover only one eye, using the Bone Dragon’s perspective. Let the other eye remain uncovered for normal vision… It’s a pity that the Eye of Magic doesn’t coordinate with the Bone Dragon’s vision, otherwise, I might be able to see some special vistas, maybe even glimpses of the Exiled Lands.”
“Add a few more bone spikes to the shoulders.”
The complete set of armor, taking into account the advice from Ach and Vinnie along with Liszt’s own aesthetic preferences, was finally shaped. From the earlier full-cover type knight armor, it transformed into the current half-cover type simplified armor, reducing the bulkiness of the armor and increasing its glamour.
“Does it feel like something is still missing?” Liszt looked at himself in the mirror, looking from left to right, always feeling somewhat incomplete.
Ach scrutinized for a moment and seriously said, “Brother, the armor has dragon horns on the head but lacks matching dragon wings, and you’re also not holding a Knight’s Sword.”
“That’s it!”
Stirred by this realization, Liszt quickly connected with Vinnie, controlling the super magic to extend, then at the shoulder blades on the back of the armor, a pair of small-sized Bone Dragon wings extended.
These wings were virtually identical to the original dragon wings of the Bone Dragon, even the ragged cartilage was preserved.
Yet, it was precisely such tattered wings that further enhanced the visual impact of the entire set of armor, making it seem like a demon that had crawled up from hell.
Like a Lich King disrespecting a dead.
Moreover, Liszt really felt that after wearing this suit of armor, his style was akin to the transformation of Marquis of the Bull into a Lich, although the blue light of Marquis of the Bull emanated from his own body while his came from the armor itself.
“Your Highness, would you like me to condense a Dragon Lance or a Longsword using the superior magic at the tail end of the Bone Dragon?” Vinnie inquired.
“For now, since there is no Dragon Riding, just transform it into a Longsword.”
Having said that, he lifted his right hand, and a pale blue flame rose in his palm, quickly transforming into a familiar longsword—the bone sword form of the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword.
The blade consisted of segments of dragon tail bone linked by blue light, with the hilt also connected to the hand armor via the blue light.

Holding the hilt, Liszt felt the sharpness of the sword, “Although it’s not a piece of genuine magic equipment, because the armor incorporates some functions of the dragon form, when deploying Dou Qi, it can mix Dragon Magic Power with Dragon Dou Qi, making this bone sword even more powerful!”
With the bone sword, the Ice Soul Dragon-Slaying Sword could be temporarily retired.
Thus.
Completing the entire set of armor and weaponry, Liszt spent half an hour trying to practice the Dou Qi Manuscript several times, making the final adjustments through actual combat.
He kept tweaking until the evening before finally completing the refinement of all forms.
“The birth of this set of armor means that the new skills of the Elemental Dragon have been developed, and to differentiate, the forms of the Elemental Dragon and the Bone Dragon need to be redefined—its original form is called the True Form, transformed into magic power is called Totem Form, and transformed into armor is called Armor Form.”
“The armor condensed by the dragon is called Dragon Armor, the longsword condensed by the dragon is called Dragon Sword, the lance condensed by the dragon… well, still called Dragon Lance, but names like Bone Dragon Armor, Fire Dragon Sword, Ice Dragon Lance can be added to distinguish them.”
“Right!”
While summarizing the Totem Form, Liszt suddenly thought of an issue and clandestinely communicated with Vinnie, “When I ride other dragons wearing the Bone Dragon Armor, remember to retract the section at the buttocks, not to hinder my spiritual connection with the dragon.”
“Giggle, understood, my lord.”
“Be serious! Remember to be clever, retract it when I sit down, and the moment I leave the Dragon Tooth Platform, replenish it immediately, understand?” Liszt gave a stern order.
Vinnie dared not defy, “Understood.”
…
During the banquet, the nobles and officials of Reed City had gotten used to Liszt’s new figure—a Bone Dragon transformed into a Totem Form, carving a skull dragon head in blue luminescent pattern on the left side of his face.
His followers had long known that their great Lord Landlord had obtained another powerful Bone Dragon. Now it appeared that both the Bone Dragon and Fire Dragon Leo could merge into the body of a Dragon Knight.
Only the Bone Dragon seemed to merge only on the face.
“How incredible!” Many followers admired Liszt’s exceptionally bewitching demeanor as they dined, amazed.
But perhaps too overwhelmed by too many stimulations, they quickly grew numb and continued busily drinking and eating.
After all.
The Lord Landlord is universally recognized as the “knightly glory incarnate in the mortal world.”
After the meal, Liszt did not immediately allow Vinnie to return to her true Dragon Form to rest but had her stay in the Armor Form as he sat spacing out.
Spacing out was just a cover; actually, he was summoning the Smoke Mission and wanted to know if one in this “half-Dragon Riding” state with Vinnie could see the smoke representing the Power of Destiny.
As it turned out, Vinnie couldn’t see it.
The Serpent Script made up of smoke remained visible only to Liszt.
“Complete the mission, reward: Gemstone Crown.”
