I became a dragon in hell.

Anna, clad in armor and with her golden hair flowing down her shoulders, felt a chill run down her spine. The White Bone Emperor's plan for His Highness was too vicious. Before, she had thought that necromancers were just a profession and should not be despised or disliked.

But the words of the White Bone Emperor made her understand why necromancers had become pariahs, hated by everyone.

The act of transforming someone else's ancestors into ghost soldiers alone is enough to warrant targeting.

However, on the other hand, if Princess Sophia could adopt the White Bone Emperor's plan, she could indeed take control of Twin Moon City in a short period of time!

Anna's eyes flickered. On one hand, she felt that doing so was too evil and insidious, but on the other hand, she was eager to persuade His Highness to adopt the White Bone Emperor's plan.

She found two of the White Bone Emperor's words to be deafening.

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Kindness is for your own people.

Their current predicament truly requires swift and decisive action to break the deadlock.

"Your Highness..."

"Anna... take the Emperor away first. Arrange a bedroom for him. What the Emperor just said... I'll think about it..."

Sophia's face turned pale. Although she was a necromancer, she had never received such a dark education in the capital.

In her mind, only a universally despised dark wizard could do something so utterly immoral.

Although most people think that necromancers are dark wizards, in her mind, necromancers who have done bad things are the dark wizards.

A necromancer who has never done anything bad is not a dark wizard.

She is a princess of the Kingdom of Roland, and every move she makes represents the Roland royal family.

She cannot do anything that would bring shame upon the Roland royal family!

But the soldiers and generals who followed her to the North were also living, breathing people.

Sofia hesitated, suffered, and struggled.

Anna noticed Sophia's pain and stepped forward, saying softly, "Your Highness, whatever your choice, we will follow you steadfastly."

"I...I'm fine, Anna. You should take the Emperor to rest first."

Anna glanced at Sophia with concern, placed her right hand on her chest and bowed to Sophia, then said to Distin, "Your Majesty, I will take you to rest."

Diding nodded and followed Anna out of the restaurant.

As they headed up to the second floor, Distin looked at Anna, who was leading the way, and said, "If I were you, I would arrange for people to investigate the tombs of the city lord and the ancestors of the city's nobles, and then have them guard those tombs."

Anna, who was walking ahead, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness would never do such a thing."

"Just because we couldn't do it before doesn't mean we can't do it now."

"Her Highness isn't that kind of person; she's too kind."

Kind people often think of others first, not themselves.

Anna stiffened; she understood the meaning behind Distin's words.

Yes, if it were just Her Highness alone, she would certainly not use someone else's ancestors to threaten them.

But His Highness was not the only one who came to the Northern Territory; there were others as well.

In order to ensure they live to old age, Your Highness... may ultimately resort to this method to reclaim the power of the city lord and the nobles within the city.

Anna and Distin locked eyes, and this time Anna looked at Distin with a hint of apprehension.

What will happen if Your Highness cooperates with such terrifying hellish creatures?

She dared not think.

After settling Destin in, Anna left the second floor and went to the restaurant.

Diding rolled around on the soft bed a few times, then lay in the middle of the bed staring at the dim ceiling, the flickering flame of his soul in his eyes slowly dying out.

Finally... finally I can enjoy the comfort of sleeping in bed again...

When the flame of soul in Tessine's eye sockets was completely extinguished.

The original body, which was in hell, slowly opened its eyes, and a pair of bluish-purple vertical pupils appeared on the surface of the dark red lava lake.

Then a bluish-purple dragon head emerged from the lake, and dark red lava slid down its head into the lava lake.

Testin flapped its wings and flew out of the lava lake.

Looking up, I saw a scarlet sky reflected in my vertical pupils; looking down, I saw a dark red earth.

On the ground not far from the lava lake, three gleaming diamond skeleton soldiers simultaneously looked up at the sky above the lava lake.

There, a young dragon with its body crackling with bluish-purple lightning was soaring and circling; that was their king.

In the air, Diding estimated the size of his dragon body. He was now nearly sixteen meters long, and his dragon body looked even larger when he flapped his wings and flew.

Flying to an altitude of about 600 meters above the lava lake, Destin folded his dragon wings and let himself plummet rapidly from the sky before plunging headfirst into the thick lava lake.

Then he flew out of the lava lake, flew to a certain height, and repeated the same action. He used the inertia of falling to temper his dragon body.

The dragon's horns, head, back, abdomen, and most of its body can be chained.

Once he has adapted to the height of 600 meters, he will continue to increase the altitude and then forge his dragon body.

This method of forging the dragon's body can make its scales and body more resilient and robust.

After repeating this a hundred times, Diding flapped its wings and flew to the three diamond skeleton soldiers, grabbing a tree root about three meters long and fifteen centimeters in diameter with its dragon claws and gnawing on it.

The tree root that he used as food was discovered when he was digging a tunnel. The tree root was located several tens of meters underground in the hellish land.

The taste is so-so, but it can help him quickly regain his strength after eating it.

One thing is rather strange: the tree roots spread beneath this dark red earth of hell, yet he had never seen a tree before.

He dug along the roots of the tree but couldn't reach the end; he could only dig up the branches.

It's quite absurd that all you can see are tree roots and no tree at all.

Since he couldn't see the tree, and Diding had no intention of investigating, who knew whether the tree grew deep in hell or in the very center of hell?

Surviving on the outermost edge of hell is already so difficult; if he accidentally wanders into the depths of hell, will he even survive?

He would never set foot in the depths of hell before he reached adulthood.

"Drake, have you seen the 'Dragon Knight'?"

"My lord, the dragon knight is lying on your back."

The diamond skeleton soldier named "Drake" pointed at Didin's dragon back and replied to Didin.

The Dragon Knight is the armored, incorruptible female corpse that Didyne unearthed while digging the tunnel.

Diding turned his head to look at his back. He was squatting on the ground, and the armored female corpse was able to stick to his dragon back.

Through the smooth, bright, bluish-purple dragon scales, one can absorb his dragon energy.

He shook his dragon body, and the armored female corpse that had been lying on his dragon back floated lightly to the ground.

Diding grabbed the armored female corpse with his other dragon claw, held it up to his eyes, and while gnawing on tree roots, said to the armored female corpse, "I've kept that old lich quiet for a while now. I'm going to throw you back into the old lich's territory. Go and have something good to eat."

The old lich has far more good stuff than I have here. You should take what you need and bring it back to give to me in return.

Diding glanced at his loyal subordinates: three diamond skeletons, nine gold skeletons, fifteen silver skeletons, twenty-seven bronze skeletons, and forty-eight iron skeletons.

Two of them were summoned to the human world by Sophia.

And that's it; you can count them all at a glance.

"Dragon Knight, can't you just kill that old lich and let me inherit his legacy?"
