Chapter 12

Having hidden in the Red Moon plane for three years, Sakavi had not only grown to the adolescent stage but also became a Level-12 necromancer. It would not be long before he could step from the Master Rank into the ranks of Legendary mages.

Coming to this medium-sized plane, Sakavi finally understood why his ancestors had not reached the Legendary Rank. According to the popular saying in this plane, the size of the plane was directly related to the amount of magic power gathered.

The larger the plane, the easier it was for Legendary beings to appear. It was said that in those super-large planes, even some magical beasts could reach the Legendary realm. Moreover, every Legendary existence would cause great magic power disturbance to the plane. If the number of Legendary beings in a plane reached the upper limit of what it could carry, no more Legendary beings would be produced.

Generally speaking, the upper limit for a small plane was 3–5 Legendary beings, a medium-sized plane was 10–30, or 1–5 demigods. As for large ones, he had not yet learned the specific situation.

After understanding this knowledge, Sakavi felt it necessary to return to Kadowen before stepping into the Legendary Rank. Otherwise, the intense magic power disturbance of the small plane would cause irreversible damage to himself and the entire plane. The Kadowen plane had not produced a Legendary being for so many years; it was probably already full.

After arranging the production tasks for the gray dwarves for the next half year, Sakavi intended to set off for Kadowen immediately. With Level-9 assassin Gop sitting in town, dealing with some drow elves who wanted to take advantage should not be a problem.

The first thing upon returning to Kadowen was to check the accounts. As a dragon, everything else was secondary except for money. Just as Sakavi was patiently looking at the account book that was more than a meter high, a roar suddenly came into his mind.

"Sakavi, get out here!"

Vilanse? How did she come? She even seemed to be in a state of wanting to fight him to the death. He had not offended her anywhere in these years.

"So it's Vilanse! Long time no see, how do you have time to come to me?"

"Shut up, you shameless person. I don't have a friend like you. Take your life!"

After saying this, countless leaves flew toward Sakavi like blades, and like they were equipped with positioning, they pursued relentlessly. Seeing he could not dodge, Sakavi used a Wall of Withering to suck the moisture out of the leaves that hit it.

Looking at the withered and drifting leaves, Vilanse became even more furious, cursing: "I was truly blind to know a dirty guy like you. If I had known, I should have slapped you to death, which would be considered eliminating harm for the people."

"Vilanse, do you have any misunderstanding about me? Why do you start fighting as soon as we meet?"

"Misunderstanding? Is your killing of the priest of the Church of Light a misunderstanding? Is your use of necromancy in front of me also a misunderstanding? I will not believe you again!"

It seemed there was no room for reconciliation today. Since that was the case, he could only distinguish the high and low by strength. Subsequently, three arrows containing necromancy shot toward Vilanse, but she easily dodged them. And where she had been standing, the grass and trees withered and were covered with a thick layer of frost.

The power of the necromantic arrows was evident. Vilanse did not show weakness either, casually firing countless grass seeds at Sakavi, which made Sakavi look very sorry for a time. The grass seeds that hit the stones quickly took root, and the boulders turned into gravel within a few breaths.

Seeing that one strike failed, Vilanse chanted again, and the spores around Sakavi suddenly exploded. Because he had inhaled quite a few into his lungs just now, he immediately spat blood and fell down.

When he was about to land, Sakavi suddenly flapped his wings, turned over, and flew up again. And at the landing point he had just prepared, several sharp wooden spikes grew out of the ground.

The counterattack was equally sharp. A skeleton holding a dagger suddenly drilled out from the shadow, striking the vital part. When the blade was about to touch the elk's throat, flowers suddenly bloomed on the skeleton, and the arm holding the dagger hung down powerlessly. A moment later, it turned into dust entirely.

Just as the dagger hit the ground, a water cannon was already before her eyes. Vilanse, who had no time to catch her breath, hurriedly formed a shield and jumped away quickly. Dozens of water cannons arrived at the position where she had just been. Immediately after, hundreds of shots landed one after another where she had once stood, but they were always half a step slow.

Just after dodging this strike, in the blink of an eye, the black dragon's sharp claws arrived, but they were slapped away by a bear's paw. Where the black dragon landed, three spikes grew out, but they withered and rotted away immediately. The giant bear rushing toward the black dragon was suddenly overturned by the mud beneath its feet and then shot into its body by several water droplets.

Seeing that she was no match, Vilanse turned back into an elk and ran away. Behind her, the "Song of Withering" suddenly sounded, and the surrounding trees and flowers withered and rotted one after another, and she also screamed in pain. On her left, a huge skeleton arm had arrived quietly, but it was slapped to pieces by a palm. A holy light shot over, and the hobgoblin skull fell apart instantly.

Another holy light shot over. Sakavi, unable to dodge in time, had his right chest pierced through. A mass of water vapor quickly condensed and heated up on Vilanse's right wrist, and transformed into steam and exploded. The staff, along with her entire right hand, was blown away.

Vilanse did not hesitate and quickly fled into the forest, but she was slapped away several meters by the dragon claw. Looking at the blood-spitting Vilanse, Sakavi landed beside her and said: "The winner is decided. Here is your hand back. Let's stop here for today."

"Maybe, maybe not!"

Suddenly, the trunks of two trees behind Sakavi grew and pierced his body, and began to wither and rot.

"If I hadn't taken out my heart in advance, this would have cost me my life."

"That's a pity, you lunatic."

"Vilanse, you shouldn't have meddled in this matter. You'd better go back to your forest!"

A holy light suddenly illuminated the entire forest. If Sakavi had not been prepared, he would have been purified into ashes immediately. Reality had no "if"; Vilanse's trump card was gone.

"I almost forgot, elves also believe in the Church of Light."

"Do it! My skills are not as good as yours, I have nothing to say."

"Okay, I will personally send you back to your home in the forest."

"Get out!"

After saying this, Vilanse left without looking back. Looking at his good friend who was going away, Sakavi was at a loss for a moment. She told him to get out of his own home? Since that was the case, it seemed he could only do as she said.

Returning to the lair, Sakavi immediately summoned all his dependents and dissolved the dependent contracts. He announced that those who were willing to follow him could sign a new dependent contract, and those who were not could take their money and leave.

What made Sakavi's jaw drop was that only the swamp toad priest Grap was willing to leave here with him. Luo En said that it was hard to leave his homeland, and the murloc leader said he was too weak and would only add to the chaos if he went.

What was even more infuriating were those snake people. They actually said that they had not gained any benefits following Sakavi and had long wanted to quit and leave. Fine, just like what an old friend from his previous life said to him: sand that cannot be held is better to be scattered.

After distributing money to all the dependents, Sakavi asked about the thing he had been puzzled about. How did Vilanse manage to discover him as soon as he returned? He had clearly been very hidden, fearing being caught by enemies.

Luo En's answer simply made one want to slap him to death. Vilanse had actually been staking out here for three years and had been living in the lizardman tribe during this period.

During this time, she was also responsible for managing the affairs of the Great Swamp. As soon as Sakavi returned, the lizardmen notified Vilanse.

After hearing Luo En's answer, Sakavi did not know if his brain had snapped. People were here to seek revenge, and he actually dared to let them live here for several years. He really did not think it was a big deal to watch the fun. He should be glad that the dependent contract was dissolved early, otherwise, he would guarantee that he would not see tomorrow's sun.

After distributing the money, it was time to run. The commotion of last night's fight was so big that the ogre chieftain Borg could not possibly not know. It was said that besides him, the ogres had two other warlords who had stepped into the Legendary Rank. One was enough to beat him up.

Returning to the Underdark, Sakavi suddenly remembered that he had sent Grap to kill a dragon and had not asked for the result yet. Now was the right time to ask.

Grap said that he had already completed the mission three years ago. It turned out that Grap used an illusion to make a red dragon nearby bite off Domina's neck directly, and added a mouthful of dragon breath, ensuring she died on the spot. This technique was indeed very professional; he was worthy of being a professional in assassination.

Thinking of this, Sakavi suddenly discovered that he had gone to Kadowen and had not had time to do the right thing. The harpy tribe actually still existed; it was simply intolerable.

He immediately ordered Gop to go and catch the harpy leader for him. Gop accepted the order and left. At this time, Grap said that he had also successfully advanced to a Level-7 druid. Killing and arson were guaranteed to be no worse than Gop.

Wait a minute, when could swamp toads cultivate into druids by themselves? And they could break through to the high-level by themselves. Could this Grap also be a traveler, or the kind that came with a system? It seemed this person must not be kept.

However, Sakavi was clearly overthinking. Perhaps Grap knew that Sakavi had misunderstood him and hurriedly explained that his druid path was taught by Vilanse.

It was not uncommon for a person to know multiple types of magic or hold multiple professions; dragons were a typical example. It seemed Vilanse's favor could not be repaid.

With this great druid, the potion industry could reopen. After a while, he would subdue a few deep gnome tribes and let them grow herbs for him. As for the matter of paying to hire them, Sakavi said that he was afraid of being poor and did not dare to spend a penny. He had no choice but to rob.

The matter of Kadowen was resolved. The next step was to develop toward the surface. Sakavi ordered the drow elves under his command to go up and investigate to see what forces were there.

As for the fact that drow elves were notorious, Sakavi said, was it more serious than him being wanted by the Church of Light all over the world?

His wanted poster had actually been sent to Kadowen. He really did not expect that the ogres of Kadowen were all cowards who would accept the bounty as soon as they got it. However, seeing the ten million gold coins on the wanted poster, Sakavi even had the urge to sell himself.

In this world, a live chicken was only worth five copper coins, one gold coin could be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin could be exchanged for one thousand copper coins.

This currency was issued by the Church of Justice, one of the three major churches of the Pantheon. Of course, other forces could also issue it. As for whether anyone would recognize it outside the ruling area, that was unknown.
