Ellen screamed, "Watch out, Wilbur!" Wilbur grabbed the baton Howie swung at him, yanking it out of Howie's grasp as a fierce gust of wind swept past and made a chill run down Howie's back. The baton was somehow right on top of Howie's head, and he trembled as he stared at Wilbur. "W-What are you t-trying to do?" Wilbur yanked Howie into a room. "I think we should really have a talk about your family and your life, Mister Howie. You definitely owe Ellen and her mother an explanation." Howie snapped out of his daze then, flaring up in rage. "Who the f*ck do you think you are? My family is none of your business!" Wilbur kicked Howie to the floor, and a sharp pain spread through Howie's stomach as he rolled around close to tears. Wilbur asked, "Is it my business now?" "You… fine." Howie knew that he was no match for Wilbur and could only comply. Wilbur walked to the door and shooed the four hooligans away before closing the door and sitting down at the table. "Come on, Miste
Soon enough, the new guide on duty walked over. "Mister Penn, Madam Judy has made it clear that there's no changing her mind on the bronze cauldron, and she hopes you won't come here anymore." "Anything could happen. I understand where Madam Judy is coming from, but I'm sure I'll be able to touch her heart with my determination. Madam Judy will eventually sell the cauldron to me." The guide's face flushed. She was going to ask Wilbur to leave, only for him to be so fiercely confident that she had no choice but to say, "Alright, then. Do as you wish." Wilbur came out of the museum and received a call from Layla. "Sir, according to the latest news, the deputy leader of the Black Panthers, Bernard Stoli, is on his way to Migorn with the other three members of the Black Panthers. All eight members will gather in Migorn by noon today. Their next step will probably be to team up and go after you." "Please be careful, sir." "Of course. Don't worry about me. I can handle a few stra
The others lowered their heads at Perry's words, who asked, "Bernard, will you be scared if Wilbur Penn really is our master's chosen one?" "No." "Why not?" Bernard sneered. "I would've been dead a long time ago if it hadn't been for Master. He's the only reason we have the privilege of life, and I've lived for quite a while. Besides, we've pledged our loyalty to the Master in the first place. Death is hardly something I fear." "Do you not fear Wilbur, then?" "Why should I? If he is Master's chosen one, we would be fated to die at his hands. If he isn't the chosen one, we'll be the ones to kill him instead. All we have to do is try our very best and leave the rest up to fate." "You're absolutely right. Let's go." The Black Panthers got into a car, and Bernard asked, "Perry, where are we going?" Perry said, "Automotive giant Billy Erwin's manor." "You mean Billy Erwin of Kaylee Automotives?" "Yes. He's one of Master's men and only made it to this day with Master's bl
Due to the fact that Wilbur and Perry knew each other, and it was said that the Black Panthers only killed evil cultivators, Wilbur did not want to kill them. He turned and entered his room when his phone rang with a call from Ellen. Ellen was sobbing. "Where are you, Wilbur?" "Ellen? What's the matter?" Wilbur found out that Ellen and Lisa had been kicked out of home, so he rushed to them at once. He found them by the road outside of Ellen's house and noticed that Perry was also there. "Perry? What's this? You still aren't giving up yet?" Perry smiled. "You are powerful, Wilbur, but your lady's weak. If you want to save them, come to this address and look for me tomorrow." Perry tossed a card to Wilbur, turning away and becoming invisible, disappearing from his view. Wilbur looked down at the card, which read: Carrington Building, balcony. Carrington Building was a pretty iconic landmark in Migorn, as it was the first skyscraper in the nation. Despite the fact that W
All eight men turned invisible at the same time, and Wilbur was the only one left on the balcony to face the gigantic black panther as it took off charging toward him. The black panther moved incredibly fast, clawing at Wilbur viciously. Wilbur's right hand flipped over, and the thunder cleaver appeared in his grasp. Wilbur swung it at the front left paw of the panther, but the panther ended up holding the cleaver down before swiping at Wilbur's stomach. Wilbur summoned a thunder spear in his left hand, which he hurled at the panther's stomach. It pierced through the panther's stomach as it let out a howl of pain, and the grip on the thunder cleaver loosened considerably. Wilbur took the opportunity to grab the cleaver and soared backward at top speed before bringing it down onto the panther's head. The panther opened its mouth, waving its right front paw over. Wilbur scrambled to dart backward, avoiding its sharp claws. The next second, the panther pounced with its jaw agape
The dragon let out a howl of fury, soaring around the air before clawing at the black panther's head. It snapped off the panther's shoulders with one firm twist, and the dragon flicked its tail sharply to crumble the panther's body into dust. A powerful explosion of rampant spiritual energy burst through the air at once. The black panther was the center of the formation. Now that it was slain, the spiritual energy shot out as the eight members of the Black Panthers were forced out of their invisible states and suffered severe backlash. Wilbur stared down at the eight members coldly. "It's your turn now." Just then, a ray of golden light shot out of the four cauldrons onto the ground, forming the shape of a person. A white-haired elder appeared in front of the eight Black Panthers, who knelt in front of him. "At your service, Master." The senior looked at Wilbur calmly. "Please let them go on my account, young man." "Who are you?" Wilbur was nothing but confused as to who th
"Thank you, Senior Fremont Skye!" Wilbur bowed to Fremont as he faded into golden dust, disappearing out of sight. "Ugh!" "Argh!" The eight Black Panthers spat out blood from the backlash of the broken formation, collapsing onto the ground. Wilbur glanced at them, before coming up to Perry and stretching out a hand. "Come on, get up." Perry chuckled. "I knew you were going to succeed. No one else in the world is going to chance upon such fate." Wilbur helped Perry off the ground with a frown. "So, you knew I was going to pass the test?" "That's right. I'd guessed it early on. What I didn't expect, though, was that the Master had left a spirit imprint on the Nine Dragon Cauldrons." "How'd you know I was going to pass the test?" "I knew you were extraordinary from the first time I met you ten years ago. You have an aura nothing like I've ever seen before, as well as your tenacity." "Thank you. You were going to die if Senior Fremont hadn't appeared just now, though. W
Ellen threw herself into Wilbur's arms as she wept. "I hate you, and I love you so much too. You ruined my life but gave me a second chance at it." All of a sudden, a sharp pain shot through Wilbur's left shoulder. Following that, Ellen let Wilbur go, saying, "I'll remember you forever, Wilbur Penn. Goodbye." Ellen pushed her mother Lisa as they left, leaving Wilbur standing on the sprawling balcony. The night breeze blew on relentlessly, and Wilbur's chest ached. He understood that Ellen could not move on from Howie's death just like that. Besides, there was no way things were going to develop between Wilbur and Ellen now. Who was going to want to date the guy who caused her father's demise? Wilbur returned to his room and took the four dragon cauldrons out. He inspected the carvings on them before putting the second, third, and fourth dragon cauldrons back into his demiplane, leaving only the first dragon cauldron behind. Wilbur stroked the carvings on the cauldron. The fir
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
