Punter's expression was ashen. "What the hell was that? How could you have lost?" Wynn glanced at Wilbur as his chest heaved. "I'm sorry, Mister Punter. Mister Penn here is a true elite, and I'm no match for him. Here's your money, you can have it back." Wilbur could have actually beaten Wynn with ease but dragged things out on purpose to prove a point. Wynn knew that Wilbur was a man of honor, and thus did not expose the fact that Wilbur was a cultivator either. However, Punter knew Wynn well enough. He knew that Wynn was an Ambience level cultivator, but Wynn had just lost to Wilbur. Punter watched as Wynn left, the rage in his chest growing by the second. It was important to note that a regular human being could never compare to a cultivator regardless of how strong they were. Wynn had lost, which must mean that Wilbur was also a cultivator and one that was more powerful than Wynn, too. This made Punter extremely uncomfortable. There were cultivators in Dasha now, and one
"The thing is, no one has ever gotten grade ten rating since the owner of the mine set such a rule. It's rare for people to get anything higher than grade six. Most people just get grade one or two." Wilbur was a little speechless to hear this. Tuttle Mine was supposed to be sealed off, and mining here was supposed to be banned. How could such a rule still exist? Punter could see the gears turning in Wilbur's mind and smiled. "I guess you haven't figured it out yet, young man. Some things have varying factors, you know. Tuttle Mine might be announced as sealed off, but Mister Buck has his own rules for cultivators." Wilbur was confused. "What special purpose does this mine have? Do cultivators actually come all the way here to challenge Mister Buck just to mine here?" "Of course. It's been said that the copper mined from Tuttle Mine has the ability to absorb one's aura, and wearing an accessory made of this copper ore can hide one's aura. Aside from that, a bronze chest made ou
Buck seemed rather eager as he led the two men further into the mansion. They reached the middle of the house, which Wilbur noticed was much wider than it looked on the outside. An arena almost a thousand meters wide appeared in front of him, the ground covered with rocks as if to minimize heavy pressure of some sort. Buck entered the arena, explaining as he walked. "I'm so sorry, but all these duels over the past few decades have really made me… intolerable to weaklings. You see, I only wish to deal with people who deserve my time. I hope my enthusiasm doesn't thwart you." "No, of course not. In fact, I think it's great that neither of us are wasting each other's time." Wilbur stood across from Buck. He blinked and saw that Buck was already standing ten meters away from him. Buck saw Wilbur looking at him and waved. "Best of luck, Mister Penn." "Thank you." Just then, Buck flashed a smile. "Let's begin, young man. Oh, I forgot to mention just now that I've changed the rul
Buck smirked at Wilbur and vanished the next second, causing Wilbur to look around him carefully. Two seconds later, Buck's spiritual aura appeared from his left. Wilbur activated his Earth-type powers then, casting an Earth Wall. Boom! In the blink of an eye, a large hole was blasted into the Earth Wall. Wilbur could sense Buck's powerful aura and scrambled to cast a transparent barrier right in front of himself. The next second, there was another explosion as Buck appeared out of thin air to cast a heavy blow against Wilbur's chest. The transparent barrier was blown apart and Wilbur was sent flying, crashing onto the floor heavily. Wilbur spat out a mouthful of blood, and Buck smiled at him. "Mid Sanctuary level. Not bad. Alright, you can get up. You've passed my test, and I give you a grade two rating. You may enter Tuttle Mine once in the next seven days and take out two hundred kilograms of copper ore." "Thank you, Mister Buck." Wilbur expressed his thanks to Buck, w
Wilbur barely hesitated in agreeing with Punter. The truth was that he could take as much copper as he wanted once he got into that mine, as long as he put it all in his demiplane. The two hundred kilograms were nothing to him. "You're the man, Mister Penn. I sure am lucky to have met you." … Wilbur returned to his hotel and got ready to head to Tuttle Mine at once. After all, he was in Bruille Town to find the broken pieces of the Nine Dragon Cauldron. The pride of the people in Eweyn made Wilbur rather uncomfortable. The Nine Dragon Cauldron had been broken into nine pieces, which meant that putting it back together would require finding all nine of those pieces. Wilbur had not even found one of the pieces, so he had to move fast. That afternoon, Wilbur entered Tuttle Mine on his own. There was still a hint of light when he first walked in, but it was completely dark not long after. Wilbur cast Illuminos, and a ball of white light appeared above his head to light his way
Grace points were hard to come by for sure. Wilbur knew this from the hard work he had put into getting only a handful of points. One Thunder-type Healing Pill would already cost him eight hundred grace points! Had it not been for the dragon cauldrons, Wilbur would have not been able to release the dragon aura in his body, and it would have ripped him to death. Dangers like this had presented themselves to Wilbur more than once, and thus he had a strong impression of them. The Dragon's Altar, as well as grace points, were something Wilbur desired heavily, and now, there were all these copper ores in Tuttle Mine. Wilbur had dug up these ores with ease, and all he had to do was keep going and he would be able to get a good amount of grace points. A thirst for grace points exploded inside Wilbur, and he began to mine tirelessly for copper ore. As he contributed more and more of the ore, Wilbur's collection of grace points began to grow. Wilbur watched as the number on the screen
Within just a few seconds, runes appeared on the walls of the mine and the ground. There seemed to be a strange formation laid through the entire space, and each of the formation cores emitted a brilliant golden glow. There were a dozen or so golden lights around the space that shone on the first dragon cauldron, forming an oval-shaped ball of light. The next second, a broken piece of the ninth dragon cauldron appeared out of thin air. The golden light disappeared the second the piece appeared along with the formation. All that was left was the first dragon cauldron and the broken piece floating in mid-air. Wilbur was stunned by the sight as he knew that this was a special kind of formation. Such a formation created a secret dimension where the broken cauldron piece was hidden until now. The first dragon cauldron's appearance activated the formation, which revealed the broken cauldron piece from the hidden space. Wilbur opened his hands and caught the first dragon cauldron and
The next time Wilbur stopped to look at the walls of the tunnel, he saw the mark he had made just now. It seemed like he had been walking in a circle. Wilbur frowned. If he was walking in circles, he would never make it out of this mine. He would have to think of another way. After pondering for a while, Wilbur looked up to see five tunnels in front of him. An image flashed through his head. He felt as if he had seen this exact sight before. Wilbur's mind raced furiously before his eyes lit up in realization! That parchment map that the liquid woman had asked the shopkeeper to pass to him! Wilbur suddenly remembered that he had seen these exact five tunnels on the map before and took the piece of parchment out at once. Sure enough, the sight before him matched the map exactly. This was a map of Tuttle Mine, after all. Wilbur was excited, as there was a sign marking the exit of the mine. He followed the sign and walked for a little over ten minutes before he heard an audible d
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
