Daniel did not mind that the two mages had looked down on him in the beginning. With Lex’s help, he had completed the summoning of the nine bone puppets, and these puppets had evolved into the nine kings. So, his power was now already equivalent to that of a grade-4 mage.
It could even be said that in a one-on-one battle, neither Andrew nor Keegan would be a match for him.
Death mages had better stamina than elemental mages in terms of offensive abilities because death flames were not depleted so easily. Furthermore, death mages could also cast scrolls and had many bone puppets under their command.
Low-grade bone puppets did not require any magic arrays nor the power of the dead from the death dimension. Such puppets were similar to swordsmen in terms of offensive ability, and as long as the death mage possessed enough bones, they would be able to create their own army.
