The cold words and mockery from Saine made the first-level Black Magician Di'ersi, tremble. →

Deep down, she hated the level three Black Magician Kanterla who enslaved her, as well as Saine and the fallen Moxidu.

Why couldn't Moxidu obediently let her kill him?

Why is Saine growing so fast?

If Moxidu had been killed by Di'ersi without anyone noticing, Di'ersi could have easily pinned the blame for Moxidu ' death on the Dawn Holy Tower, which was what she had planned to do.

But because he didn't kill Moxidu with his own hands, and even allowed him to escape with serious injuries, Di'ersi didn't dare to return to Martin's command after struggling to escape back to the Black Domain.

Because even the Black Magician community has certain principles and bottom lines.

Moxidu is well-liked in the southeastern part of the Western Islands. Putting aside others, at least the level three Black Magician Martin and the Second-Level Black Magician Qiongni will definitely demand an explanation from Moxidu.

It was for this reason that Di'ersi was forced to join the ranks of the third-level Black Magician Kanterla.

This also marked the beginning of Di'ersi' decades-long life of torment and suffering.

The fact that Saine had advanced to the next level and was showing such an aggressive attitude filled Di'ersi with both surprise and fear.

Prior to this, she had already heard that Fei'er had also been promoted to Formal Magician.

Doesn't this mean that Moxidu ' three remaining disciples are all first-level Black Magician?!

Being targeted by three equally powerful Black Magician is definitely not a pleasant experience!

The level three Black Magician, Kanterla, could protect her for a time, but it would be difficult for him to protect her forever.

Not to mention, Di'ersi himself was trying his best to break free from Kanterla's control.

In this situation where she is surrounded by enemies both inside and outside, Saine's description of her as "pathetic" truly hits a nerve.

"What do you know?!"

"To avenge Moxidu? Hmph, that means that old man is really dead, isn't it?"

"That's true. If he were still alive, there's no way he would have gone decades without returning to the Western Islands."

"Even though the old man is dead, he still caused me so much trouble."

"I will kill you all, one by one, in the end!" Di'ersi laughed hysterically, pointing at Saine and Zorro and the others watching from the distant sea.

Di'ersi has truly gone mad. For decades, he has been treated like a potion-making machine, relentlessly generating value for the level three Black Magician Kanterla, while his soul is also being controlled by him.

Faced with this dark and suffocating pressure, even Di'ersi, a first-level Black Magician, was on the verge of mental collapse.

The successive revenges of Saine and Zorro were the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Black Magician are, after all, human beings, and they also possess certain human emotions.

What else was accompanying Di'ersi at this moment?

Everything is gone!

From this perspective, this woman is quite pitiful.

More than half of the reason why Di'ersi is in her current predicament stems from her sabotage against Moxidu than fifty years ago. →

This is all caused by greed.

If Di'ersi had been less greedy, she wouldn't have had to betray her good subordinates like Martin.

Moxidu will still be her partner, and Saine disciples, including Moxidu, will also show her a certain respect.

Imagine, if that were the case, what would become of Di'ersi?

I estimate that he might be able to reach the Second-Level Black Magician, instead of being about to be killed by Saine as he is now.

There were quite a few spectators who arrived at the outer edge of the battle area today.

Besides the two level-three Great Black Magician acting as notaries, there were also more than twenty level-one and Second-Level Black Magician who had nothing better to do, who came to join in the fun.

Among the onlookers, the focus of everyone's attention was undoubtedly an Goatee Old Man, who was surrounded by two level-three Great Black Magician.

This Goatee Old Man didn't seem to exude much Power Aura.

He was an Elemental Projection of Jigson, the Demigod-level dean of the Pale Bone Black Tower.

The main body possesses Demigod-level strength, but the power of the projection is not as exaggerated.

With the total energy possessed by this Elemental Projection, Jigson could at most cross boundaries of consciousness and unleash the power of a peak level Black Magician.

The strength of the Elemental Projection itself is not what matters; what people truly value is his identity and the Pale Bone Black Tower he represents.

As a Demigod-level Black Magician, Jigson doesn't give off the impression of a smiling tiger like Martin, nor does he seem like someone you can tell is not to be trifled with at first glance like Kanterla.

He was a very easy-going old man.

Upon arriving at the dueling zone in the eastern part of the open sea, the old man maintained a kind smile on his face.

He first spoke to Lina in a friendly tone for a few minutes. What they talked about was unknown to outsiders, but it was probably about Lina's Knight Continent Trial.

Others may not know, but Jigson is well aware that the Pale Bone Black Tower Tower Master had spent a considerable amount of money to prepare a trial qualification for Lina.

After speaking with Lina, Jigson chatted briefly with Martin and then Kanterla.

It was clear that Jigson's Elemental Projection, Demigod-level Black Magician, had little interest in engaging in in-depth conversations with the two level-three Black Magician on the edge of the Black Domain.

This area is not within the influence zone of the Pale Bone Black Tower, and there are no resources here that would interest the Pale Bone Black Tower.

On the contrary, Martin and Kanterla spared no effort in trying to please Jigson.

If they could get on the good side of Pale Bone Black Tower, they would enjoy all sorts of conveniences as they expanded their influence on the outskirts of the Black Domain.

Furthermore, because the Black Domain is blocked by the various Holy Tower and Knights' Hall of the Wizard World, it is manageable to obtain mid- to low-level resources, but when it comes to high-level resources, Black Magician without connections simply cannot get their hands on them.

What are advanced resources?

Resources that can be used by beings at the Demigod-level or above and involve the power of laws are recognized as high-level resources in the Star Realm.

Centuries ago, Martin's mentor Maijana, a level three Black Magician, traveled all the way to the Underdark to establish City of Mozhsuobula in order to obtain the remains of a Level-4 lifeform, and plotted for it for a long time.

The purpose was to obtain the damaged divine core within the fourth-level remains, and the Earth Element power contained within it.

However, given the foundation of the Wizard World and the dominance of Wizard Civilization in the Surrounding Starfield...

Let alone a damaged divine core or the remains of some Level-4 lifeform.

Even living creatures of level four or above have been auctioned off in the Wizard World!

Not long ago, didn't Saine's grandmaster, Cuilisi, capture a level-five creature Poison Flame Demon King Anruida, in the Poison Fire Green Flame World?

Level 3 Black Magician Martin and Kanterla are not greedy.

They dared not pray for any broken divine essence or the remains of Level-4 lifeform.

They were content with mere limb materials or blood from Demigod-level Creature.

High-level materials like these, which involve certain laws and powers, are only possessed by the major Black Tower in the Black Domain.

Even in Plane War, only the individual Black Tower are qualified to initiate them.

In short, the superstructure in the Black Domain has been monopolized by the Black Tower.

Level one and two ordinary Black Magician are fine; they probably won't sense anything.

However, the level three Great Black Magician could especially feel the oppression and despair emanating from the various Black Tower.

They were like a mountain, not giving these level-three Black Magician a chance to touch higher levels until they were thoroughly exploited and drained of their marrow.
