Sometimes, the transformation of the relationship between enemies and allies can be so wondrous and swift.

The two sides that were fighting just moments ago are now friends again.

The Bone Dragon, whose outward appearance indicated only level two strength but was likely even stronger, was so excited when it heard that Lina had a way to send them back to the Netherworld that it almost broke free from the suppression of the two giant plants.

Note that this refers to "them", not just one Bone Dragon.

As a once powerful Bone Dragon in the Netherworld Netherworld, this Bone Dragon had its own territory and domain.

Now, thousands of years later, the territory belonging to the Bone Dragon may have long been taken over by other Netherworld Lord.

Creatures in the Netherworld generally possess a strong sense of territory.

Previously, when Saine and his companions entered the cemetery, they were attacked by a number of Undead Creature, led by the Death Knight, because they had invaded the territory of these undead.

The Bone Dragon was used to being free and unrestrained. It neither wanted to be a mount or subordinate of other Netherworld Lord, nor did it want to wander the Netherworld alone like a lost ghost.

If given a choice, it would certainly prefer to lead its "little brothers" back to the Netherworld to reclaim its territory and plunder some glittering treasures to decorate its lair.

These Undead Creature in the cemetery are different from the Bone Dragon.

Bone Dragon have lived long enough to be considered true Netherworld Creature.

The Undead Creature in the cemetery are naturally transformed Undead Creature, the oldest of which is no more than two thousand years old. →

These Undead Creature in the cemetery are born naturally, drawn by the rich aura of death within the cemetery.

Furthermore, based on the Undead Creature ' natural tendency to obey the strong, they have served the strongest Bone Dragon here generation after generation, serving as its loyal subordinates.

Take that Death Knight as an example; this guy has existed for over 1,300 years.

The characteristics of Undead Creature allow this guy to exceed the theoretical lifespan limit of Level 1 Knight or Mage in the Wizard World, even at the first Life Level.

In terms of longevity alone, these undead are truly enviable.

How many souls are in the cemetery?

The newly awakened Bone Dragon couldn't say for sure, but it roughly estimated that there were probably around ten or twenty thousand of them.

Sending so many dead souls back to the Netherworld is no easy task.

Lina has now gone to research the summoning Teleportation Array. Before leaving, she asked the Bone Dragon for a large amount of Energy Crystal.

"Opening a teleportation channel to accommodate tens of thousands of undead is no small project. You're not going to make us use our own Energy Crystal, are you?" Lina asked, frowning.

The Bone Dragon's skeletal face surprisingly displayed a look of pain.

After unearthing a considerable amount of Energy Crystal from some unknown cave, seeing that Lina was still not satisfied, the Bone Dragon tentatively asked, "How about using Soul Crystal to offset the cost?"

"The energy efficiency of Soul Crystal isn't as good as that of Energy Crystal, but it's still a regular energy consumable. Okay, "Lina said after stroking her chin and considering for a moment.

"Then I'll use the Soul Crystal!" the Bone Dragon said with a sigh of relief.

Energy Crystal are rare for Bone Dragon, but Soul Crystal are incredibly abundant.

The spirits in the cemetery have been through more than six thousand years, and those of lower and middle levels have been replaced one generation after another.

With so many dead souls replacing each other, one can only imagine how many Soul Crystal would be generated during that time.

There are even many more precious Soul Essence.

When trading, the Netherworld Lord often use Soul Crystal or Soul Essence as currency.

As undead creatures, they possess a higher efficiency in absorbing Soul Crystal than other flesh and blood.

Lina went to tinker with her summoning Teleportation Array. Lina naturally had her reasons for being so concerned about this matter.

As Black Magician wanted by all the Holy Tower and Knights' Hall, it would be extremely difficult for Lina to clear her name and follow Saine to the Main Continent of the Wizard World.

Not to mention the Main Continent, even in a corner of the Western Islands, Lina can only stay in the Black Domain most of the time.

The crime of killing Knight or Mage of the same level in the Wizard World is indeed not something that a Holy Tower Master can easily erase.

When Luluman helped Saine, she was not only facing this one case, but also the very foundation of the Wizard World's rules and the laws of the Holy Tower.

Having spent decades navigating the Black Domain, Lina knew all too well the difficulties involved.

So, how can Lina stay with him forever while avoiding the monitoring of the Holy Tower rules?

The appearance of the Netherworld and the Bone Dragon before her provided Lina with a better solution.

As an important vassal of the Netherworld Wizard World, the laws and powers of the two worlds have developed and become extremely compatible.

The power of laws is something that only those at level four and above can comprehend; the vast majority of beings below level four cannot even touch it.

For the billions of beings below level four in the Wizard World, the tangible benefit they can enjoy is that when summoning Undead Creature from the Netherworld in the Wizard World, the summoning difficulty is lower than in other Necropolis worlds.

This convenience stems from the rules themselves.

It also represents the supreme ruler of the Netherworld, representing the billions of beings in the Netherworld, and sign numerous cooperation agreements with the Wizard World, whether equal or unequal.

The Black Magician within the Black Domain are indeed suppressed and ostracized by the major Holy Tower and Knights' Hall throughout the Wizard World.

But outside the Wizard World, this suppression and influence will be much smaller.

The Black Magician within the Black Domain frequently launch Plane War, invading distant and weaker Alien Plane.

However, due to the limited resources in the Black Domain Black Domain, the Plane War there are much smaller in scale and in terms of the level of investment compared to the normal Holy Tower and Knights' Hall.

Furthermore, the Black Magician of the Black Domain do not prioritize sustainable development like those of the Holy Tower and the Knights' Hall.

Basically, they swarm in, rush in to plunder, eat their fill, and then come back.

This is a common development model for Black Domain.

In addition, the Black Magician within the Black Domain also have the right to communicate with Member Planes the Wizard Alliance across different planes.

Due to its unique nature of death, the Netherworld is highly favored by Black Magician within the Black Domain.

Not only are Netherworld Creature summoned by the Black Magician of the Black Domain, but sometimes these Black Magician also wander into the Netherworld to collect the resources and materials they need.

Black Magician, of course, do not have the same status or authority as normal Mage in the Wizard Alliance's vassal planes.

However, no one in those Wizard Alliance Member Planes would be idle enough to provoke these Black Magician.

Even if the two can't see each other frequently in the Wizard World, it wouldn't be bad to take a stroll hand in hand in the Netherworld.

Fortunately, in addition to being quite skilled in fire magic, both Saine and Lina also possess some talent in dark and Necromancy Element.
