Jamari was all the more enraged. He had not been able to gain the upper hand and had even been forced to retreat. Unlike Ryder, Jamari had no intention to die with his opponent in battle, so he could only take a step backward before swinging his sword at Ryder's neck. Ryder's dagger was too short to reach Jamari from such a distance, and he had no choice but to deal with the attack instead. An explosive sound rang through the air, and a wave of rampant spiritual energy surged out into the room. Following that, Ryder and Jamari continued their vicious battle once again. Ryder was focused on fatal attacks, going for the kill in every move, sometimes even uncaring of his own life as he lunged at Jamari. Despite the fact that both men were peak Ambience level, Jamari was pushed back repeatedly by Ryder's ruthless attacks, which caused him to turn red from the humiliation. The crowd had worried looks on their faces. It seemed like Jamari was no match for Ryder. Jan's express
Wilbur continued to smoke his cigarette, his expression unchanging. Just then, Jamari let out a cry as he darted forward. Hundreds of sword shadows appeared, hurtling towards Ryder at a ruthless speed. All at once, fierce winds kicked up in the room with terrifying spiritual pressure. The attack was close to the Sanctuary level. Every single one of the sword shadows seemed impossibly sharp, destroying everything in its way. Rampant spirit pressure filled the entire room at once, making everyone's chest lurch as if they were drowning. At the same time, the crowd could not contain their amazement at Jamari's skills. Pre-Sanctuary level was definitely terrifying. Ryder's expression turned solemn at last in the face of this attack. He let out a cry at the same time Jamari cast his blow. Spiritual flames shot out of Ryder's sword as he slashed wildly at the sword shadows, refusing to back down in the slightest. The banquet hall looked like a tornado had struck, with spirit
He was going to let these bastards know just whose territory they were messing with. These idiots had the nerve to use brute force in a time like this. Everyone else burst out laughing at Jan's words. Now that Ryder had lost, Jamari's pre-Sanctuary level skills seemed godly to everyone in the hall. On top of that, Hugh's Special Forces officers had arrived. These idiots would be dead for sure, even if there were more people like Ryder. To think that they had been foolish enough to challenge the authority of the government! Wilbur took in the sight of the smug crowd, then slowly got to his feet as he looked around. "I guess birds of a feather really do flock together." "What the f*ck do you mean by that?" Vale flew into a fit of rage, shouting at Wilbur. Everyone else glared at Wilbur as well, having half a mind to rip this guy a new one themselves. Hugh's expression darkened even more. He was the person in charge of Dansun City, and this guy was clearly challengin
The Special Forces officers raised their weapons at once, pointing them at Wilbur. Even the snipers and bazookas were ready to fire. Just then, an authoritative voice rang from the door. "Stop! Stop it right now!" A thin man who looked to be in his fifties burst into the banquet hall, followed by a group of people. Hugh flew into a rage. "Who the f*ck let you in? Get the f*ck out!" "What a temper you seem to be in today, Hugh," the man said, making his way over to the stage. It was only then that Hugh turned around. The sight was enough to scare him witless. Hugh scrambled over to the man, his expression turning into one of utmost respect. "Mister Forsythe! What are you doing here?" The man was none other than Marc Forsythe, the person in charge of Exodus Province. "Everyone here might end up dead if I took any longer to get here," Marc said coldly. Hugh's chest lurched at the words. How did Marc know what was happening here, and even showed up himself? It was i
However, Ryder had left right after delivering that message, thus Marc did not know for sure what was going on. Because of that, Marc had asked for all the information there was on Wesley Miller and had spent the entire night looking at it. It was only this morning that Marc finally understood what had happened. Vale, Chancy, and Laurent had restructured the Exodus Province business industry under the guise of forming a business chamber alliance, usurping many smaller businesses and corporations through unsavory methods. Victims had tried filing reports in the past few months, begging for help, yet they all fell on deaf ears. Nothing came out of it. It was only through Marc's investigation that he found out about Hugh providing support to the three men behind the scenes. Hugh was the reason all these reports had never reached the higher-ups. He was the person in charge of Dansun City and held quite a bit of power given his position. Under his insistence to keep the whol
Sorra closed the file slowly after he was done speaking. At this point, Hugh was not the only one sweating. Vale, Chancy, Laurent, and the others were trembling all over, their foreheads quickly growing damp. They knew exactly what they had done, and that the consequences would be unthinkable if they were to be exposed. These people had thought that with how powerful they were and Hugh being on their side, nothing could happen to them. That was why they had the courage to do what they had done. Now, however, it seemed like their ship was about to sink, and it was all because of Wesley. Yet despite this, they knew that Wesley was just the trigger. The person who had really opened the gates of hell for them was that man who called himself Wilbur Penn. This man was not only a brilliant fighter who had killed Jamari with just one move, but he had even gotten Marc Forsythe to show up personally to hand the truth straight to Hugh. It was important to note that a confrontati
Even if she was going to be punished, she was at the very least going to drag Wilbur and his accomplices down with her. Wesley looked over at Wilbur in terror. After all, the undeniable truth was that there were two dead bodies here. Surely Wilbur would not be able to get out of that? Just then, however, Marc said coldly, "Mister Penn is a member of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense, which makes us unqualified to deal with him. You're free to raise whatever concerns you have to the department." "The Department of Paranormal Research and Defense?" Everyone looked nothing but confused. What kind of department was this, and why had they never heard of it before? Marc saying that he was 'unqualified to deal with Wilbur' alone, however, was enough to imply that Wilbur was someone even Marc could not afford to mess with. The crowd blinked in shock, a chill running down their spines. Who was this man for Marc to render himself unable to do anything about him, a
Wilbur waved a hand. "Come on and sit down. Don't get too emotional here. You need to believe that Mister Forsythe will keep his promise." "I believe him! I haven't got a shred of doubt in me!" Wesley wiped away his tears, sitting down as his chest warmed with emotions. He knew that none of this would have happened without Wilbur. The Divine General was truly a force to be reckoned with, and he was even more powerful than the rumors made him out to be. Wesley raised his glass, and the three men had a drink together before Marc started chatting with Wilbur. Wesley did his best to calm down, dining on some of the food at the table as he listened intently to the conversation. To Wesley, these two men were immensely powerful. Wesley felt like his life would change if he were to understand what these two men were talking about. Everyone had a few more drinks, and Wilbur said, "Well, the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense won't get involved with this. You can han
Faye was clad in a beautiful wedding dress, hardly needing any blusher for how red her cheeks looked. Wilbur was also looking dapper in a fine tuxedo, and the bride and groom went around toasting to their friends one by one. Both their parents were overjoyed, knowing that their children had finally ended up with someone so wonderful. Everyone else was also brimming with smiles, drinking up a storm as the night went on. These people were all friends or subordinates of Wilbur and wanted nothing more than the best for him and Faye. There was no wedding emcee, and the ceremony was extremely simple, but the atmosphere was incomparable as everyone was nothing but smiles. The reception lasted all the way until late into the night, and even the newlyweds' parents got a little tipsy. The banquet ended at last, and the guests ushered Wilbur and Faye into their new bedroom. The newlyweds sat down facing each other, locking eyes. Faye lowered her head bashfully, and Wilbur looked
It was evening on Sealake Island when Wilbur returned. He stood on the long bridge, overwhelmed with emotion as he let out a hint of his aura. The island grew abuzz at once, and a series of familiar figures fought their way into Wilbur's line of sight. Wilbur smiled, stepping onto the island slowly. His smile grew as he came to the square, taking in the sight of Faye, Elsa, Faron, Shepard, and many others. Everyone else stared back at him, unable to hide the emotion on their faces. It had been so long since they had seen Wilbur, and there was no way for them to reach him. Words could not describe how much they had worried about and missed him. "I thought you were never coming back, Wilbur." Faye was the first to speak. Wilbur walked up to her, taking her into his arms. "I'm sorry. It'll never happen again. Everything's over now, and I'll never leave you again." Faye's heart soared as she broke out into overjoyed sobs. Everyone else was nothing but joyous as well. Fo
Bahamut, being a reincarnation of Kaiser himself, came slithering toward Wilbur. They both turned into their human forms, and a fierce battle broke out once more. Kaiser channeled his energy into Bahamut's body, giving Bahamut the upper hand over time. At last, Bahamut severely wounded Wilbur with a blow of his sword, causing Wilbur to fall from mid-air. "Hahaha!" Kaiser appeared suddenly then, laughing loudly. "Nice work, Bahamut." "Thank you, Master." Bahamut retreated behind Kaiser, looking at him coldly. He whipped out a dagger from his sleeves all of a sudden, driving it deep into Kaiser. Kaiser flipped around sharply, grabbing Bahamut's wrist and glowering at him. "Have you lost your mind?" Just then, the Dark Lord's voice sounded from Bahamut's throat. "You've stopped me many times now, Kaiser Fern! There's no way in hell I'll let you become the ultimate elite!" A furious Kaiser reached out to grab Bahamut's head, sucking him into his body. An explosion sounded throu
Just then, the Cold Lord muttered a spell. A series of snowy mountains descended from above, one of them striking Wilbur and Augheimer as the Cold Lord cackled. "Haha! Is that all you've got?" As his words rang through the air, the snowy mountain exploded with a loud boom into countless icy fragments to reveal Wilbur and Augheimer, standing tall and completely unaffected. "What?" "These imbeciles!" the Flame God shouted. The air around turned into a sea of flames at once, burning away relentlessly, but they vanished as soon as they came in contact with Wilbur and Augheimer's defense barriers. The Earth God shouted, "I'll settle this!" He muttered a spell, and the ground cracked open as Wilbur and Augheimer fell into a bottomless abyss. The Earth God smirked, and the crack began to close up. Yet just a few seconds later, the ground exploded as Wilbur and Augheimer flew back up. The Tornado God cast a spell to bring about a fierce gust of wind filled with countless razor-sh
The next second, Wilbur's Magic Dragon Blade made a gash in the air. The two men then wove through the gash, making their way to the lower dimensions from the upper dimensions and returning to Earth. The gash closed itself up, and a powerful wave of black miasma surged into the oceans from the heavens. It cleared up within a few minutes, and Earth was turned into a dark space. Several big fissures appeared in the heavens as the evil gods descended on Earth. The Blood God, the God of Destruction, the Cold Lord, the Flame God, the Earth God, the Tornado God, the God of Bloodlust, and the Snake God—all eight evil gods had descended upon Earth at the same time. Wilbur summoned the broken pieces of the Light Armor from the Fire Dragon Ring. The pieces radiated a white glow as they hovered in mid-air, and Wilbur quickly used his mind to put them together before wearing the Light Armor on his body. "Hahaha!" The Blood God laughed loudly. "I guess the universe dimensions aren't all
Hailey and Kayleen ducked out of the way before the pillars of light reached them, darting up to Sade at the last second as Hailey drove her sword into him at the same time Kayleen did the same with her spear. Hailey glowered at Sade. "You're the one who's really despicable here, Sade. Say goodbye to the world forever!" "Arghhhh!" Sade's body exploded in a flash of white light, disappearing out of sight. Hailey and Kayleen both got down on one knee. "At your service, Masters." Just then, Wilbur and Augheimer looked at the two ladies at the same time. Augheimer said, "At ease. You can both go back now, your work here is done." "Yes, Master." Hailey and Kayleen disappeared the next second. Just then, a fierce wind rolled over as a pillar of white light descended from the heavens as Odysseus appeared in front of the two men. "Wilbur Penn and Augheimer. I’ve finally found you. Tell me where the dimension guardians are, and hand them over!" A gleeful Odysseus reached out t
Sade threw his head back, laughing loudly. "No one has the right to replace me, no one! I'm the real dimensional guardian, the leader of the galaxy!" Just then, two figures appeared in the sky. They were Hailey and Kayleen, two of the other dimensional guardians. Hailey was holding a long sword as she scowled at Sade below her. "You went against the rules of the universe and changed its functions, Sade. And now you've killed Wilbur Penn, the cultivator who was supposed to replace you. For that, Kayleen and I are going to kill you today." Sade smirked at those words, not looking shocked at all. "I knew you two would never let me go for killing Wilbur. But he's already dead, and I still need to maintain order in the universe as a dimensional guardian. Even though you two may hate me, you can't kill me or you'd be going against the rules of the universe too, and have to be sentenced by Mister Richardson. Trust me, you won't end up in much better of a state than I'm in." Just then
Augheimer asked out of confusion, "What? To the upper dimension? All of a sudden?" Wilbur looked flustered, he replied, "There's no time to explain. Odysseus will be here in a while, and we won't be able to escape." Sade looked at Wilbur. He told Augheimer, "He's right. Believe him. Why would your close friend lie to you?" "That's right. He's a dimensional guardian, Sade. I begged Sade to go back in time here. Hurry up and come with me, Augheimer!" "Thanks, but if we're leaving, we should at least go to Buck Town and meet Felix one last time, right?" asked Augheimer. Wilbur looked at Augheimer in the eyes, there was a sense of familiarity that welled up all of a sudden. Wilbur instantly realized Augheimer had a secret in Buck Town, and perhaps it was very important to Augheimer. He helplessly nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll go to Buck Town first." Then, the three of them came to Buck Town through a transportation array. Augheimer grabbed Wilbur and ran. He said, "Run! F
"Damn it! Your second wish was supposed to be mine!" yelled Odysseus. Odysseus once captured a dimensional guardian's servant by chance, and he used him as leverage to obtain his final two wishes. His first wish was for Sade to guide him to the most powerful power of light spell. His second wish was for Sade to lead him to the Death Scepter. Odysseus mastered the power of two types of laws, the power of light and the power of death. He quickly grasped the intricacies of the power of death due to his unique talent. Odysseus wielded the might of both supreme spells with the Death Scepter and the most powerful power of light spell. Therefore, Odysseus gained immense confidence. His capabilities far surpassed most upper dimension cultivators, but he remained in the middle dimension. His desire was to once again capture a second dimensional guardian servant. Odysseus planned to acquire the Death Cloak by obtaining the servant's wish. Ultimately, he would combine the Death Cloak, D
