Sun Fei met Hasselbaink, the former undead magister, and invited him to demonstrate his magic after sharing wine with him and Arthur. Hasselbaink summoned a skeleton, but Sun Fei destroyed it and judged the spell too weak.

• Hasselbaink grew angry after realizing Sun Fei had killed many undead mages and explained that he would demonstrate his power.

• Arthur moved toward the hall entrance while Sun Fei proposed a different kind of test and switched to Undead Sorceress Mode.
• Sun Fei used Raise Skeleton to reassemble a pristine white skeleton, and Hasselbaink and Arthur were shocked by the grayish-white Death Energy’s apparent perfection.

• Sun Fei invited Hasselbaink to join Chambord, but Hasselbaink firmly refused, warning that Sun Fei’s conspicuous use of Undead Death Energy could attract the Church and bring about his destruction.

Sun Fei tried to recruit Hasselbaink, who refused because he feared the Holy Church would discover him. Sun Fei demonstrated that he could wield pure Holy Power alongside Necromancy, stunning Hasselbaink and revealing Arthur as a weakened bone dragon; he then asked whether his proof had convinced the undead magister.

Sun Fei removed the Holy Power damaging Hasselbaink and healed his power channels, triggering the undead magister’s rapid recovery and a dramatic surge in strength.
