The ocean beast was enormous. Wilbur looked like an ant in front of it. However, the beast seemed to be extremely sensitive to its surroundings in the water. When Wilbur appeared, the sleeping beast slowly opened its eyes. It got up abruptly when it saw Wilbur, striking its tail against the cage and letting out a series of deafening noises as if to show its hatred for humans. Wilbur had never seen a creature this big, and a chill ran down his spine as he froze at the sight before him, unsure what to do. Bang! Bang! Bang! Just then, the loud thrashing shocked Wilbur out of his stupor. He did not hesitate any longer, looking around him in search of the cable. According to the template, it should be in front of the left corner of the cage, but it was nowhere in sight. Upon making a round, Wilbur realized that the cable was behind the beast. The cage was a massive thing, but the unplugged cable had completely fallen into the mud at the bottom of the ocean. Wilbur swam to th
However, releasing the beast would require connecting the cable, or it would continue to rain heavily in Aidementon and even lead to a flood. Wilbur glanced at the cable that had fallen into the mud. He looked up at the beast, only to see that the beast was looking at him as well. From the size of the ocean beast, it was obvious that it usually fed on larger marine animals such as whales or sharks. Human beings seemed impossibly tiny in comparison, but the beast was looking straight at Wilbur right then, sending a chill down his spine. After all, no one would enjoy being stared at by such a huge creature. Wilbur did not know how to express to the beast that he was trying to help it and could only swim once again to where the cable was to pull it up. Wilbur originally planned to stay away from the beast and approach after bringing the cable up to a suitable height. However, the space he had to maneuver the cable around was not much to work with, so he could not go further than t
Wilbur saw that and leaped straight onto the beast's back as it continued to switch directions. However, Wilbur's gesture also made it so that the beast could not attack him effectively. Wilbur stared at the enormous creature below its feet, and a spark of murderous intent entered his head. He was trying to save the beast, but it was trying to kill him instead. What a foolish creature! Wilbur wanted nothing more than to have it killed. Yet he thought of his agreement with Paul, and the murderous intent promptly disappeared. Upon second thought, who knew how much torture the beast had had to endure since Greensource Corp had trapped it here? It was no wonder it hated human beings. It was not exactly surprising for the beast to act this way. Wilbur opened his heart and was about to think of a way to restore the cable. Just then, the countless spikes on the beast's back lit up with electric currents. The currents joined together, striking in Wilbur's direction. Countless electric
Wilbur looked down at the beast every now and then as he rose. The enormous creature was currently lying at the bottom of the ocean as if it were worshiping Wilbur. The beast's demeanor confused Wilbur. Despite the fact that Dashan myths spoke of dragons ruling the ocean, they were still considered fictional at the end of the day, and Wilbur did not particularly believe in them. Now that he was seeing an ocean beast in real life laying at the bottom of the ocean meekly bowing to him, Wilbur realized that those Dashan legends might be real after all. The dragons might have actually been the ruler of the ocean, else the ocean beast would not have bowed to it so obediently. Within a minute, Wilbur had returned to the shore from the bottom of the ocean. The staff came over to take the chains and clasp off of Wilbur. The staff in charge of taking off his special oxygen tank took a look at the data and gasped in shock. "That was close! The oxygen would have run out if you had stayed ju
Paul felt that it was only a matter of time before the beast returned to its senses. Thus, after giving out a few orders to the staff, he sent Wilbur back to Aidementon. Wilbur returned to his room and closed the door. At last, blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. The battle at the bottom of the ocean had far surpassed Wilbur's limits. Despite the fact that he had exploded with power in time and released the electrical currents back into the water, his body was still greatly affected and the dragon's head mark on his back had not stopped burning. Wilbur did not mention it so as not to cause a fuss, but now that he was back home, there was no need to hide anymore. Wiping the blood away, Wilbur hastily took out a Thunder-type Healing Pill and swallowed it. He sat cross-legged on the bed resting after that and remained in that position until he was fully recovered in the evening. Wilbur was able to restore his health and powers significantly faster than before, and tha
Before Tina could speak, her mother replied, "Kyra and Demetra have left. Demetra said that he was leaving Cametra to look for Miyah and that you would always be a good friend of his. Oh, he also left you this letter." Tina's mother handed an envelope to Wilbur, which he did not open right away. "Thank you, ma'am. Let's eat." After dinner, Wilbur returned to the attic and opened the letter. Demetra was not particularly good with his words, but he expressed his gratitude towards Wilbur and brought up something. It turned out that Tina had cried the entire night after her mother had told her how she felt. Tina had no choice, and Demetra hoped Wilbur would not blame her. Wilbur sighed after reading the letter. Just then, Tina came into the room with a handkerchief she had finished embroidering. "I heard that Dashans like embroidery, and the dragon symbolizes luck and happiness. I thought of making you a handkerchief so you can carry it with you. Do you know how charming you look w
"I'm sure you know I'm not a member of the Scarlet Leaf Faction, Mister Paul. I'm not really interested in meddling in your affairs." "No, no, it's something else. Do you remember the ocean beast?" "That ocean beast?" Wilbur was confused. "What's wrong? Has that not been fixed yet?" "Yes. It's been three whole days, but the beast is still lying in the cage unwilling to leave. We need your help, Wilbur." Wilbur was surprised at Paul's words. He had thought that the beast would have been desperate to flee the cage, but it turned out that it was still inside and not willing to come out. "I don't know how to lure it out, Mister Paul. Maybe you could find someone else to help?" "No, Wilbur. It's clear that the ocean beast is in this manner because something triggered it. I think if you go down again and it sees you, it might go back to normal and leave." Wilbur was a little speechless, but it was the truth that the ocean beast had curled into a ball out of fear of him and refuse
The next second, something shocking happened. Wilbur was seen walking toward the beast, clearly trying to get closer. Paul was alarmed. "What's he doing? Doesn't he know how dangerous that is? Send him a warning right now!" "Yes, sir." Underwater, Wilbur sensed the pressure from the chain attached to him. He gestured to the cameras, implying for Paul to trust him. Paul had no choice but to tell the staff to stop sending the signal, as well as having them prepare themselves. Wilbur was to be dragged onto shore immediately if anything was to happen to him. Wilbur had had to change his approach after having failed to awaken the beast many times, and he felt like the creature was quite human-like. It was intimidated by his aura the last time, which was the reason why it was so scared. Wilbur might just be able to soothe its nerves by stroking it and expressing friendliness. The beast would leave as long as it was not scared anymore, which seemed to be the only way to go from h
