    Inside Emir’s territory, a dozen hills that were dozens of meters high were standing. Many undead creatures wereing to the hills, and dropping a tremendous amount of essence of the undead.


    The power of death was so abundant that it almost consolidated. Lin Yun could even tell that undead creatures were being born from the hills. Soon enough, new undead creatures would arise from there, and they would at least be level-10 undead creatures. They couldn’t possibly be the low-level skeletons.


    It was possible that some Dark Samurai would be born. Death Knights were less likely, but it was not entirely impossible for them to be born considering the amount of essence of the undead.


    Those were a dozen hills that were exclusively made of the essence of the undead. Lin Yun was almost astounded…


    Low-level undead creatures might not yield essence of the undead after they died. Only those above level 10 would have a chance of dropping essence of the undead after they died. Those above level 20 would surely drop essence of the undead after death.


    However, their essence of the undead was only the size of a fingernail. The undead creatures above level 30 had bigger essence of the undead, but it wasn’t veryrge, either. The size of the essence of the undead didn’t grow along with its quality.


    Lin Yun couldn’t calcte how much essence of the undead the hills contained. It was astronomical. By conservative estimation, at least 10 billion undead creatures had been killed, and their essence of the undead was picked up and gathered there.


    Besides, not every undead creature would drop essence of the undead after they died. Also, low-level undead creatures took up the greatest poption. Besides, not all the essence of the undead of the victims were picked by Emir’s subordinates.


    In less than a year, probably 100 billion undead creatures had been killed here…


    The number was greater than that of all lives in Noscent!


    After seeing the scene with his own eyes for the first time, Lin Yun finally began to understand why billions of undead creatures could die in the war between two lords in the ne of the Undead.


    Lin Yun had once read a description of a war in the ne of the Undead, which imed that a billion undead creatures were sent to battle by two undead overlords, and their bones could be heaped into a mountain. Still, that was just a minor conflict.


    Its counterpart in Noscent would be a fight between peasants from two neighboring viges…


    At first, Lin Yun thought that the description was only a joke, but he now realized that it was very faithful. A battle of a billion undead creatures was just a street fight in the ne of the Undead that was not worth mentioning. Even the undead overlords wouldn’t care very much.


    Here on the battlefield, there were dozens of undead overlords. Also, the undead creatures below level 44 weren’t even qualified to be lords. They could only work as subordinates to a powerful overlord.


    So many undead overlords were fighting over the territory that was only thousands of kilometers long and wide. It was understandable that the battle was gory. It had to be more bloodcurdling than other wars in the ne of the Undead.


    It had been a long time since dozens of overlords fought for the same piece ofnd in the ne of the Undead. Also, the territory in question was quite small. Any of the powerful overlords here had a much bigger territory than that.


    Although there were countless undead creatures in the ne of the Undead, the ne itself was shockingly big too. Each overlord had a vast dominion. The overlords rarely fought over territory. They often fought for other reasons, say, their grievances, soul fires, etc.


    They had been fighting for various reasons, but they rarely fought over a piece ofnd.


    When Lin Yun found Emir, thetter had just returned from the battlefield with a one-horned skull in his hand. The soul fire inside the skull was shivering, indicating that it had been cut off before it was killed.


    Holding the skull, Emir grinned scarily, and sucked the skull. The soul fire in it then erupted from the two eye sockets as bluish mes. Emir opened his mouth and swallowed the mes. The skull and the soul fire were still struggling, trying to avoid being swallowed, but it was futile.


    A skull’s struggle was always useless. Nothing could be done when its soul fire was sucked up.


    As Emir swallowed the soul fire from the skull, the skull, which had been glittering until then, seemed to have gone through millions of years in only a couple of seconds.


    Dense cracks appeared on the surface of the skull. Its brilliancepletely dispersed too. When thest bit of the soul fire was swallowed, the skull fell apart into pieces, just like a rotten bone that had been unearthed after being buried for a long time.


    The pieces fell to the ground, and turned into ashes. Emir grinned and picked up a piece of irregr essence of the undead. He then casually tossed it at the hill.


    It was not until this moment that Emir finally saw Lin Yun, who was walking close from the distance. His tiny body unleashed horrifying strength, and he appeared in front of Lin Yun instantly.


    “Oh, Buddy, my friend dearest. Wait, I don’t think that’s how they say it. But never mind. Buddy, it’s been a long time since I saw you. Come on, let me show you my masterpiece.”


    Then, Emir led Lin Yun forward. Lin Yun thought Emir was going to show him the hills of essence of the undead. However, beyond his expectation, Emir circumvented the hills, and came to their back.


    Behind the hills, there was a heap of bone cages that was a dozen meters tall. Inside each cage was a swarm of living crows.


    Upon seeing Emir, those crows shrieked and announced theirst words in fright.


    Grinning, Emir extended one hand, and spoke with utmost hatred. “Those bloody birds must die. All crows must die. They have to die…”


    As he talked, mes erupted from Emir’s arm, and consumed all of the bone cages. The red mes roared and shrouded all of the crows, making them scream and struggle in pain. None of the birds was able to escape.


    They were all burnt to death, and their ashes fell through the gaps between the bars…


    Lin Yun watched the scene, absolutely lost for words.


    Those bone cages were built by at least a Heaven Rank skeleton mage. There was no telling where Emir found the Heaven Rank skeleton mage who built so many cages for him.


    Those cages didn’t seem very powerful. Any undead creature above level 40 could break them easily. However, they couldn’t be burnt by Emir’s mes. The ckened traces on the bars and the thickyer of ashes on the ground indicated that it wasn’t the first time that Emir had incinerated crows here.


    That guy truly hated crows’ guts. The mes he released were only as powerful as a level-3 spell at most, with a bigger coverage and a long duration. Considering the mana cost, what Emir consumed to release the mes was enough to cast a level-6 spell that was usually exhausting.


    It was truly overkill to attack the crows like that…


    Emir delightedly watched the crows burnt into ashes, and asked Lin Yun to watch with him. He was like a kid who wanted his friend to see how he got back at his enemy…


    Lin Yun truly did not know what to say…


    “Emir, your mes aren’t bad. Nice. You’re making progress. Keep it up…”


    “Hey, Buddy, I knew you would see my progress. I can burn those obnoxious crows right now. You have no idea how many times I’ve experimented. I couldn’t burn them into ashes directly. I had to practice a lot to do that…”


    Emir rambled on for a dozen minutes. Then, he finally thought of something, and dragged Lin Yun to a hill of essence of the undead.


    “Buddy, look, this is my gift for you. I’ve prepared it for a long time. Since you like that, I prepared it for you. But it’s not big enough. I was nning to prepare a big gift for you, but since you’re already here, you can have this one now. I’ll prepare a bigger one for youter…”


    Lin Yun looked at Emir, who seemed thrilled. The guy was already level-47, but he still seemed to be a hideous gnome ghoul. He was smarter than before, but in Noscent, he was just as dumb as Xiuban.


    However, Lin Yun had a lot of mixed feelings. Even though the guy was just a ghoul, he was just an innocent being. There was probably no distinction between kindness and evilness for him. He was only nice to whoever was nice to him. His values were very simple.


    Lin Yun stared at Emir, deep in thought.. He didn’te back to himself until Emir pulled him.
