Wilbur furrowed his brows. "Don't piss me off, or you'll regret it." Jaden burst out laughing. "Listen up, motherf*cker! I've never met anyone I couldn't afford to offend, so you can drop the big talk." "What did I ever do to you?" Wilbur frowned. Jaden eyed him coldly. "Nothing. I just don't like your face. Got a problem with that?" Wilbur's expression darkened. "Watch your tone before you get yourself into trouble." Jaden was about to respond when Elise said, "C'mon, Jaden. Cut it out." Jaden sneered at Wilbur. "Don't let me run into you again, or you're f*cked." Wilbur shook his head, turning to leave. Elise chased after him. "Please don't mind him, Mister Penn. He's always been like that, I hope you don't take it to heart." "I won't stoop to his level." Wilbur left for good after that. Elise sighed, coming up to the two men with a scowl. "We're on foreign grounds, Jaden. Could you tone it down?" "He should count his lucky stars we aren't in Dasha, or I would'v
Connor stopped in front of the entrance of the charmingly antique manor door. "Hello. My name is Connor Adams, and I have an appointment to see Earl Hans." An old man with white hair and a crisp suit walked out, looking at the three of them. "Come with me. Master Hans is waiting for you." "Thank you," Connor said, and the three of them followed the old man towards the castle. There were many servants tending to the gardens on the way there, trimming away at the exquisite greenery. However, they would stop and bow at the sight of the three of them, waiting until they had passed before continuing with their work. Jaden could not help but marvel at this. "God, these uppity folks are truly a different breed. Even their servants are so polite and well-trained." "Well, of course! The Angora clan has been around for almost a thousand years. They've been upper-class since the Sunset Dynasty colonized them," said Connor. They walked on for over twenty minutes until they finally re
Hans did not give him a reply, continuing to play with the bangle in his hands. The bangle was the size of a palm, radiating an air of antique charm. It was clear that it cost quite a bit. Seeing Hans remain silent, Connor and the others had no choice but to wait patiently. A while later, Hans passed the jade bangle back to the butler, who returned it to the briefcase. "My deepest apologies," said Hans. "The Angora clan isn't what it used to be anymore. I'm afraid I can't be of any help." Jaden was the first to panic. "Surely there's nothing you can't sort out in Morburn, right?" Hans smiled. "I might be an Earl, but I haven't had much actual power for a while now. To tell the truth, I think you'd be better off asking for help from Governor Wynna." "We did, but he's always busy," Jaden said. Hans took out a pipe then. The butler filled it with a beautiful golden tobacco, before lighting it. Hans took a leisurely puff, saying nothing. Connor looked at Jaden, then at
This was how things usually went when you needed a favor for someone. You had no right to even speak about conditions. Hans smiled. "It's settled, then. I'll invite the governor over for tea tomorrow afternoon and bring this up while I'm at it." "Thank you so much." Connor let out a long breath. The three of them knew that it was time to leave then. After bowing to Hans, Connor said, "Please tell me what your bank account is, Earl Hans. I'll send you the twenty million dollars at once." "The butler will tell you. Oh, and the payment will be in US dollars," Hans smiled. Jaden widened his eyes, and shock flickered across Connor's face as well. That was around a hundred and fifty million Dashan dollars! Yet Connor gritted his teeth and nodded. "It's a deal. I'll be waiting for the good news, Earl Hans." The three of them followed the butler out of the castle after that, and Connor and the others left. The butler returned to the castle, glancing at a still-smoking Hans.
Of course, Wilbur knew that his spirit had been intruded. Nevertheless, he did not respond with a counter-attack. Instead, he let this intrusive spirit energy spread throughout his consciousness. Countless devastating memories of his past filled his mind, worsening his mood by the second as his expression turned to one of deep sadness. The intrusive spirit energy continued to spread in his sea of consciousness, magnifying his grief. From the few people from his past whom he felt like he had let down, to regret over past mistakes he had made, Wilbur's depressive thoughts grew until he felt like he was a burden to the world and better off dead. Wilbur's expression slowly drained of all hope, morphing into a wild grimace. The next second, Wilbur's soul lit up with a golden flame that rippled into its surroundings. Wilbur could not help but sigh. He had wanted to find out just how far this spirit intruder was willing to go, only for his soul to respond defensively on its own.
To his dismay, Theo had ended up accidentally alerting the target instead. It seemed like the target had a pretty good control of his spirit energy, too. Now, however, the mission was the least of his thoughts. The thought of him dying at the hands of his chairman was starting to haunt him like a ghost, making him uneasy all over. Chairman Morris had always been a ruthless man, even toward his own staff. Theo had the nickname 'Hangman'. He was Morris' trusted aide and knew too much about everything. Considering the kind of person Morris was, Theo was going to be taken out eventually. No one wanted to die, and Theo was no exception. He lit a cigarette, taking a deep drag. All he could think of was that it was time he thought for himself Over in Hans' castle. Hans and Governor Wynna finished their scrumptious lunch. Just as they had clinked glasses and prepared to drink to their hearts' content, a figure strode in with heavy footsteps. His clothes were in disarray,
Wilbur frowned, taking two steps backward. "I just wanted to have a look at the ocean. Can you please not bother me?" Wilbur could very well tell by now that Jaden was trying to court Elise. It was precisely Elise's friendliness toward Wilbur that drove Jaden to find fault with him at every turn. It was not as if Wilbur was flirting with Elise on his own accord. What was wrong with the guy? Seeing as they were all from the same country and were on foreign grounds together, Wilbur did not want to argue with him and thus held his anger back. Yet the words Wilbur last said felt like an insult to Jaden as if he was the one trying to make a scene out of nothing. Back in Dasha, Jaden was the heir to a corporation worth billions. He had never been humiliated quite like this. Jaden pointed at Wilbur coldly. "Apologize to Miss Adams this very second for your disrespect, or I'll have you thrown off this boat right now." A hunky man walked over from the back as he spoke, standing
Connor's voice was deep. "I'm Connor Adams, and he's Jaden Horts. What's the matter here?" The two men in suits took out their licenses, shaking them in front of Connor and Jaden. One of them said, "We're from the Anti-Corruption Commission. You two have been found participating in bribing government officials. You must come with us and undergo an investigation." "What the hell are you yapping on about?" Jaden shouted. Connor's expression shifted, but he said, "I think you might have gotten things wrong here. Nothing of the sort happened, and we actually have a pretty good relationship with Senator Brady and Earl Hans. This has to be a misunderstanding." "There's no misunderstanding at all! We've collected enough evidence on you, and we're taking action now. Don't try to resist, or we'll shoot." As the men's voices rang through the air, the policemen behind them drew their pistols and pointed them at Connor and Jaden. Another two officers stepped forward to handcuff Conno
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
