Evolving by devouring from a young dragon

The bones on the ground are still piling up.

After the bone lich reassembled, it was half a head shorter than before, and several of its bones were broken, standing crookedly. However, the ghostly fire in its eye sockets burned even brighter, turning from ghostly green to dark blue.

Blue didn't give it a chance to catch its breath.

He stomped his foot, and the ground immediately caved in, sending up rubble and bone fragments. He grabbed a rock the size of a human head and hurled it at the ground.

The bone lich didn't dodge; his bones instantly shattered, and the boulder grazed his body as it crashed into the pile of broken bones behind him, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He then raised his hand, and the bone spear shot over again.

This time, it wasn't just a dozen or so, but a dense array of bone spears shooting towards Bru.

Blue shielded his head and face with his arms, stubbornly charging forward. The bone spear pierced his body, shattering with crackling sounds. The aura of death seeped into the cracks in his rock armor, slowing his movements slower and slower.

Halfway through the race, Blue's left leg suddenly gave way.

The wound on his thigh from the bone spear had not fully healed, and necromantic magic was wriggling inside the wound like worms, making his entire leg numb. He knelt down on one knee and slammed his right fist into the ground to steady himself.

The bone lich floated over, its bone blades reforming, ready to slash at Blue's neck.

Blue turned his head, and the bone blade slashed at his shoulder, slicing off a large chunk of rock. Shards flew everywhere, causing him to groan.

But he also seized the opportunity with his right hand to grab the bone lich's leg bone and squeeze it hard!

"Snap!"

With his leg bone broken, the Bone Lich lost his balance and was about to fall. Blue clenched his other fist and smashed it into the Bone Lich's chest cavity from below, piercing through it!

The bone lich let out a shriek, the ghostly fire in its eye sockets flickered violently, and its skeleton began to shrink rapidly.

Seeing the situation was bad, Bru tried to pull his hand away, but the bone lich's ribs suddenly closed, locking his arm firmly inside. Grayish-black necromantic power surged from the bone gaps, spreading wildly upwards along Bru's arm, causing the rock surface to quickly turn gray and crack.

With a low growl, Bru lifted the bone lich above his head and slammed it to the ground.

The bone lich's skeleton was shattered and scattered all over the ground, while the ribs that bound his arms were still entangled and refused to loosen.

Bru pulled them out one by one with all his might, but the necromantic magic continued to surge out. Soon his entire right arm had turned grayish-white, and his body was covered with fine cracks. The earth runes on his body flashed twice.

He frowned.

Because the concentration of earth element here is too low, there is insufficient magic power, and the magic power in his body has been constantly eroded by necromantic magic power and cannot be replenished, causing him to be close to his limit.

The Bone Lich has been reassembled.

This time it took longer and it was shorter.

When it stood up, it was only half its original height. Its left arm was gone, and there was a large crack in its skull from which will-o'-the-wisps floated.

Blue also stood up.

He looked down at his right arm, which was now completely numb, and clenched his left fist, holding it tightly in front of him.

The bone lich opened its mouth, making no sound, but an invisible shockwave emanated from it, sending shattered bones flying from the ground. Blue lost his footing and was pushed back several steps.

He steadied himself by stepping into the ground with his left foot, held his left fist in front of him, and charged forward step by step.

The shockwave grew stronger, the cracks on Blue's body widened, and more and more debris fell from his body.

He gritted his teeth and strode toward the bone lich.

At this moment, the bone lich suddenly stopped attacking, stood frozen in place, and its will-o'-the-wisp suddenly dimmed.

Blue could tell that this thing was about to fail.

The continuous reorganization had consumed too much necromantic power, and it was about to give out.

He seized the opportunity, strode forward, and swung his left fist, slamming it heavily onto the bone lich's skull!

With a crack, the skull split in two, the will-o'-the-wisps scattered, and the skeleton completely disintegrated.

Blue stood amidst the pile of bones, panting heavily.

His right arm was completely immobile, and the cracks on his chest and shoulder were widening, the earth runes were so dark they were almost invisible.

"This time, it should be over, right?" Blue muttered to himself in a buzzing voice, his exhaustion barely concealed.

He turned around, ready to walk back, but as soon as he took a step, a soft sound came from the pile of broken bones behind him.

Blue suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to look.

The ground was covered with withered bones that trembled slightly before sliding to both sides, creating a deep crack in the ground from which a strange, dark green light emanated.

Blue took a step back.

The skeletal hand gripped the edge of the crack and slowly pulled the entire body out of the ground.

It was a huge skeleton, about eight meters tall, covered in tattered dark red armor, with two curved bone horns on its skull and green flames burning in its empty eye sockets.

This is the Bone Lich's exclusive spell, Necromancer's True Form!

The thing looked down at him, revealing a ferocious smile. Then it raised its hand, and instantly, a jet-black energy with a ghastly green deathly light shot straight from its bony fingertip toward Blue!

It was the lich's most terrifying and deadly spell—

【Death Finger】.

A ray as thin as a hair, yet condensed with the ultimate necromantic power, silently pierced through the air and aimed directly at Blue's brow.

Blue's face showed unease. If hit, his life force would be exhausted on the spot, his body would freeze, and his soul would be extracted and turned into a lich's puppet zombie.

Blue had no time to dodge.

Both his arms were useless, and his left leg was numb and completely immobile. He watched the light magnify in his pupils, and only one thought occupied his mind—

It’s over.

Just then, a dark shadow crashed in from the side, sending Blue flying. He rolled twice on the ground before his shoulder hit a pile of bones and came to a stop.

He lay on the ground and raised his head.

Alduin stood where he had just been standing.

His left wing was half-spread out, blocking his way. The Death Finger struck the scales, instantly becoming entangled in burning golden flames. Then, the ray twisted and refracted on the scales before flying into the pile of bones beside him.

The moment they touched this magic, the withered bones were instantly annihilated into a pile of powder.

This is the magic refraction device of the Dragon Slayer Mech, which can weaken and deflect flight magic. Combined with Alduin's embers' restraint on necromantic magic, it completely blocked this attack.

"Boss..." Blue's voice trembled slightly.

"Shut up." Alduin said coldly without turning his head.

The green flames in the creature's eye sockets flickered, and it stared at Alduin for a moment before opening its jaws and revealing a silent smile.

"dragon……"

Alduin didn't speak. His tail swayed slowly behind him, his claws dug into the ground, and embers flowed beneath his scales, his entire body covered in dark golden flames.

The bone lich wanted to unleash Death Finger in retaliation, but Alduin sneered and clenched his dragon claws tightly.

"Want to kill me? Then fill the void with your soul!"

In an instant, eight chains of fire erupted from all directions, instantly wrapping around the eight-meter-tall skeleton of the bone lich like vines.

"Ember Dragon Devours Souls!"

The chains of fire suddenly contracted, forcefully pulling the bone lich off the ground, its bones cracking under the strain.

Alduin opened his mouth and breathed out a blazing fire breath, which flowed through the chains and into the lich's body.

"No--!"

A piercing scream echoed through the ruins.

The skeleton of the bone lich melted rapidly in the embers, and the ghostly flames in its eye sockets dimmed sharply. Alduin took a deep breath, forcibly drawing away the remaining green soulfire and drawing it into his dragon body.

Meanwhile, in a corner, a hoarse, fervent murmur quietly rang out: "Look, what have I discovered?"

"Hehe, a hybrid black dragon that can use fire."
