Wilbur glanced at the two of them, but Kolton merely smiled and said, "This gentleman didn't mean it. I don't think an apology is necessary." Wilbur smiled slightly. Even though Sandy and Lilian looked unwilling, there was nothing they could say since the elder had spoken. Wilbur nodded toward Kolton in acknowledgment before leaving the church. He returned to the hotel, but his spirit projection remained at the church. He sat in his room and frowned. There was something strange about that church. That much was certain. However, it was still not the time to use violence. If he immediately resorted to violence without any evidence, then Pumido could manipulate public opinion, causing a negative impact on the Church of the Fire Dragon Lord. He would wait and see. As long as they were planning something, they would slip up eventually. For such matters, it was better to have substantial evidence so there was nothing anyone else could say. After Wilbur left, Lilian was still
They turned their faces up to the heavens, eyes wide and mouths dramatically agape in a horrifying manner. As the mysterious prayers went on, a strange gray fog began to stream out of these people's mouths. The fog-like substance flowed downwards, slowly filling the entire dungeon and spreading outside. Time ticked by slowly. Sandy and Lilian were still praying in earnest, seemingly unaware of the substance flowing out of their bodies. The fog quickly spread through the entire city. Eventually, the citizens awoke from the middle of their slumber. Their gazes turned dazed, but it was not long before they began heading towards the main Pumido church. Some of the people were in their pajamas, some of them completely barefoot. Some of them, in fact, were still drunk. Yet all of them had the same glazed looks in their eyes as they made their way toward the main church with a surprising determination. Wilbur sat before the window, taking in the sights and smells of the fo
Wilbur deflected the attacks with a mere wave of his hand. The next second, however, they charged over once more, as if they were oblivious to the weapons in Wilbur's grasp. Wilbur's brows furrowed as he sent them backward once more. Their expressions flashed with pain. It was clear that they had been hurt. However, they refused to back down, charging over once more. Wilbur was enraged, but still could not bring himself to kill two defenseless women. Perhaps he should just knock them out for now. Just as Wilbur was about to do so, countless citizens stormed in from outside. They fought to pounce on Wilbur, letting out deep growls as if they were hellbent on tearing Wilbur from limb to limb. All Wilbur could do was strengthen his protective barrier. He knew that these people's spirits had been controlled, and they were actually innocent. Yet they continued to claw and grab at the barrier, unrelenting and vicious even when their hands turned bloody. Wilbur furrowe
Despite Lilian and the others regaining clarity for a brief moment, they were still determined that Wilbur was an unholy spawn in their consciousness. Following that, their gazes glazed over once more as they began to attack the spiritual barrier wildly. Some of them even struck the barrier with their heads, uncaring even when they began to bleed. Wilbur's brows furrowed. These people's spirits did not seem to be under control. Instead, it seemed like they had been tainted with a strange force. Even Wilbur could not control so many people at the same time, and thus he refused to believe that Kolton and the others were capable of doing so, even if they were achieving it through performing a ritual of sorts. The three elders had crowded over then. Wilbur took a deep breath, turning to face them. He was going to take care of these three first. Maybe the tainted spirits of these people might be solved as well. Kolton, Angela, and Baru each held a weapon that looked like a scyth
Kolton and the others could barely keep up with Wilbur not long into the battle and began to grow shocked and impatient. Kolton let out a low growl, retreating about ten meters away from the battle. The weapon in his grasp disappeared, and he began forming strange gestures with his hands while muttering something indecipherable. The other two elders were still caught up with Wilbur, who eyed Kolton coldly as he took on the battle. A brief moment later, Kolton let out a growl of fury as spiritual energy surged out of his body. A dimensional door standing several meters tall appeared next to him. Just as the dimensional door opened, countless terrifying insects surged out of it. They let out strange hisses and growls, fighting to pounce on Wilbur. Wilbur's expression darkened. These insects looked like the average mantis, but they were as tall as human beings. They sported brown outer shells all over, covered with runes. Two gigantic front limbs burned brightly, akin to r
As Wilbur cried out, the Dragon's head before him let out a rumble. It grew twice its size, opening its eyes. The air filled with spiritual energy as Dragon Boulder Bombs the size of a human head were spat out. The bombs burned brightly, swirling with runes that let off a terrifying power and spirit pressure. As the explosions filled the air, the insects were completely blown into tiny bits that caught fire. Within mere seconds, most of the insects had fallen and turned to ashes. The Dragon Boulder Bombs were about to outpace the Mantis Warriors, almost making it to the dimensional door. Kolton and the others' expressions shifted. They had not expected Wilbur's spiritual energy to be so powerful. It was important to note that keeping the Dragon Boulder Bombs' consistent attack was terrifying enough. The Super Dragon Boulder Bombs required another level of skill to cast, requiring even more spiritual energy. Kolton let out a roar of fury. Spiritual energy surged out o
He knew these people were innocent. Their spirits had been corrupted, and they would lose their minds even if they were to survive, or worse—turning into something even more terrifying. Despite Wilbur wanting to see just what else Kolton and the others had up their sleeves to get a better understanding of this mysterious cult, the battle was going to have to end soon. The air rumbled with a bolt of thunder as Dark Disperse flailed wildly. Countless insects fell to the ground as Wilbur cleared a space around him before stabbing Dark Disperse into the ground. "Thunder Bombs." As he shouted the words, Wilbur put his hands together to cast the terrifying spell, the Thunder Bombs. Nine thunder bombs appeared and exploded amidst the insects, blowing most of them to smithereens. The insects' remains practically lined the ground of the cellar, still hissing and sparking with residual thunder. After clearing out a larger space, Wilbur cast another Infernal Thunder Dragon at the di
The Spiritual Energy Devourer wiggled its enormous body as it made its way towards Wilbur, its spear-like front limbs ready to attack as Wilbur watched on with furrowed brows. The Spiritual Energy Devourer, like its name, was actually capable of usurping others' spiritual energy. This was unlike anything Wilbur had ever seen before. His gaze darkened as he raised a hand, casting a series of thunder attacks. Sure enough, the chain of lightning was completely usurped by the Spiritual Energy Devourer as well, only causing the runes on its body to glow even brighter. This creature was capable of absorbing the spiritual energy from the attacks it received and using them to strengthen itself. The Spiritual Energy Devourer would definitely be an impossible threat to most cultivators. Behind it, more and more Mantis Warriors continued to appear. The smug look on the three elders' faces made Wilbur sneer. "Don't celebrate just yet." "Ha! Can you take on the Spiritual Energy Devo
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
