Saleen had always been generous to that special friend of his. Among the four dukes, Aini was the only one who got special treatment. If there were any materials suitable for death mages, Aini would have surely had access to them.
The only reason Saleen didn't take him to the Imperial City of the Abyss was his concern about getting him into trouble unnecessarily.
While Saleen monitored the plane map, Aini ably led the warriors and spirit army of Lonestar City onto the Floating City and headed for Kroraina. Upon arriving at his destination, another portal opened on the fringe of the Purgatory Dessert.
Saleen sensed that the situation was more precarious than he anticipated. In addition to its great powers, Myers Mainland had been a main plane because of its strategic location. Years ago it was a conduit linking over a hundred planes, all fixed portals to the mainland and each portal guarded by a high-level professional.
