On the grass behind the Bixi. →

After a brief incantation, two black warriors and an Undead Knight riding White Bone Warhorse slowly emerged from the dark vortex of summoning.

Necromancy can be divided into two categories based on its summoning method.

One method is to summon directly from the spot, which consumes less Magic Power, but requires enough skeletons or flesh Sacrifices nearby.

Another method is to summon directly from another world. This method requires more mental and Magic Power, but it does not have high requirements for the surrounding environment.

Regardless of the method of summoning, Undead Element and Summoning Element techniques are inextricably linked.

At this moment, Saine was practicing the few Undead Element summoning spells he had just learned.

The exact nature of the Black Domain in the Western Islands is still unknown, but having already clashed with the Black Magician once, Saine is more inclined to keep his abilities hidden.

Not only did he need to conceal his appearance and aura, but Saine also wanted to hide his Light and Fire Element abilities.

Once they arrive at the Western Islands, Saine's apparent identity will be that of a Undead Magician has recently been promoted to the next level.

Three Undead Creature emerged from the summoning circle. The two black knights possessed the strength of Advanced Knight Servant, while the skeletal Undead Knight was at the level of Quasi-Knight.

He has achieved such success in just a short period of time by studying necromancy.

Besides the fact that Saine has a solid foundation in his studies, there is probably another reason: he has considerable talent in the fields of Undead Element and dark magic.

"Unfortunately, no summoning magic for Undead Creature of level one or above has been found. The importance that Mage in the Wizard World on knowledge has also led to some isolation and monopoly."

"If I were in the Azure Source Holy Tower right now, with my mentor's collection and the Holy Tower Library's resources, there should be some decent Magic Book among them."

"However, the knowledge in this book, 'On the Coexistence of Death and Summoning Element Magic,' is too obscure; it probably wasn't written by an ordinary Mage," Saine remarked, looking at the black book in his hand.

Saine put the black book away and waved his right hand.

The black knight and the bone Knight, who had just appeared from the summoning circle, quickly disappeared from their original spot amidst a swirling of Elemental Light.

Saine looked on with curiosity at the layer of gray Elemental Light and the complex array patterns beneath their feet.

According to these Necromancy Element Magic Books, more than 70% of the Undead Creature summoned from other worlds in the Wizard World come from the Large World within the Wizard Alliance — the Netherworld.

While the Undead World's status within the Wizard Alliance may not be comparable to the Titan World or the Elf World, it is roughly on par with Large World like the Orc World.

These are all powerful worlds within the alliance, True Spirit Dominator, and are important cornerstones protecting the development and prosperity of the Wizard Alliance.

Furthermore, the Undead World has been with the Wizard Alliance for quite some time.

Mage in the Wizard World can relatively easily summon Undead Creature from the Netherworld and its surrounding Death World to their aid using summoning magic.

It is also related to the rules and trends of the two worlds.

Only beings at level four or higher, or even level seven, possess the ability to influence the Power of Rules.

Although Saine had devoted a lot of energy and attention to necromancy during this period, he still knew where his main direction was and did not deviate from it.

For example, to date, Saine has not dissected or studied the internal cells of those Undead Creature, nor has he spent a lot of time studying the principles of Summoning Element magic.

It's not that Saine doesn't want to, but that he can't.

No Mage has a limited amount of energy, and at least so far, Saine has not seen any master who is proficient in all elements.

Saine had already exhausted almost all his time and energy just by studying the Azure Fire Magic.

Not to mention, he also had to find time to tinker with his alchemy.

Saine's attitude toward necromancy was proportional to the amount of effort he invested in the field of potion-making.

It's enough to master the relevant magic; there's no need to delve into its mysteries and principles.

It's mainly for preparing for the upcoming trip to the Western Islands, and also to satisfy my curiosity about other types of magic.

Luluman, Level-4 Magician at the Azure Source Holy Tower, always sighed in her laboratory about how easy it was to have such a disciple.

Because Saine is always very clear about what he should and shouldn't do.

This guy is extremely calm; he might be a born Mage.

Due to the need for level one or higher undead summoning magic, and recalling the rich collection of books in the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine couldn't help but think of the many Holy Tower within the Mamet United Alliance territory, some of which should also be open to the public.

For example, Saine can use Arcane Light, which is basically available to every Holy Tower, at a certain cost.

But considering the massive Arcane Points he spent last time using Arcane Light... Saine couldn't help but shake his head again.

"I wonder if there are any Necromancy Element Magic Books in the legacy of that Second-Level Black Magician."

"There should be some dark magic, that should be enough." Saine muttered to himself, recalling the black beam of light unleashed by the Second-Level Black Magician during the battle.

After finishing today's magic lesson, Saine walked toward Bixi's head.

Because of its easygoing nature, this guy didn't mind Saine standing on its head after getting Bixi's consent.

The vast river ahead still stretches to the horizon. The magnificent map and capacity of the Wizard World make it difficult for even a behemoth like Bixi to explore its entirety.

At this moment, Bixi was playing with the Owl Little Qi, while the Construct Master Yuli watched from the side, a pale red Constructed Magic Puppet standing behind Yuli.

The appearance of Saine drew everyone's attention.

Even the Bixi slightly raised its head.

Saine smiled and said, "When we were fighting that Second-Level Black Magician, none of us even noticed that you were there beneath that island."

"How did you manage to perfectly conceal your presence?"

"Normally, the more powerful a creature is, the more intimidating and oppressive it should be to the weaker creatures around it, right?" Saine asked curiously.

When asked about Saine's question, Bixi tilted her head slightly, as if she were thinking.

Perhaps before this, Bixi itself had not considered these issues.

This must stem from its origins and instincts.

However, Bixi has a strong ability to understand and think; it's just a bit simple-minded, not stupid.

After a moment, Bixi replied, "Perhaps... perhaps it's related to my breathing rate?"

"Is it just breathing rate? Does it involve subtle control of the body's muscles?" Saine couldn't help but ask.

This question from Saine is somewhat difficult for Bixi.

"Yes... or no..." Bixi blinked.
