Fawkes smirked upon hearing those words. "This Huck guy knows his limits, after all. Get back to him immediately. Tell him to kill Wilbur no matter what it takes and drive that stupid van back to me. Oh, Wilbur's in Kosanto right now. Help me ask Huck if he can take care of it for me." "Yes, sir." Fawkes' butler, Bart, walked to a corner and dialed a number. After a brief chat, he turned away from the phone's receiver and said to Fawkes, "Huck said they'll do it, Mister Fawkes. Huck has many eyes in Kosanto, and Wilbur Penn is now in Diseya. He seems to be doing an investigation of sorts on the history of Diseya." "History?" "What's this idiot trying to do?" Fawkes snatched the phone out of Bart's grasp. "Huck, I want you to kill Wilbur Penn in three days. If you manage to get that done and drive his van to my underground parking lot, I'll add on a bonus of twenty million dollars." Later in the evening, Arsi handed a bottle of water to Wilbur. "Are you thirsty, Mister Penn?
What could the leading force be, then? Wilbur stopped abruptly after walking around the formations twice and activated his Iris Veritas. Amidst his excitement and nerves, he had completely forgotten about the Iris Veritas, and that he could use it to look under the formation. Through the Iris Veritas, Wilbur saw a stream of water deep underground flowing back and forth. A smaller stream connected to it would lead to the formation—the pale blue one, as Wilbur observed. Despite the two formations being so closely interlocked with each other, the golden formation did nothing to block the water at all, which meant that the pale blue formation was the one controlling the water level underground. That would mean that the golden formation was connected to the hidden space where the dragon cauldron fragment was located. Now that Wilbur had this information, he knew that the pale blue formation gave the people of Diseya a water source, and thus it was not to be touched. However, it wa
"Three hundred million dollars!" Maria's jaw fell open. "Dude, why don't we just kill Wilbur and drive off with the stuff? Why are we giving it back to Fawkes?" Huck, Johnson, and the others smiled at those words. Huck said, "Maria, surely you know that there are rules we must follow in this line of work. Killing Wilbur and running away with the goods will only get us into huge trouble. But if we follow Fawkes' orders to kill Wilbur and return the items, he'll handle the whole thing and we'll get off scot-free." The buffest of the men, Henry, smirked at Maria. "That's right, Maria. The concept of mutual benefit can be found everywhere. For example, a man and a woman will love each other when they're together, but they won't be anything to each other once they're apart." "Idiot." Maria slapped Henry's chest, glaring at him playfully. Huck looked at her, whispering, "What's up, baby? Are you mad?" Huck looked up at Henry. "You're in charge this time, Henry. Once you kill Wilb
Johnson made a slashing gesture with one hand, which Huck chuckled at. Johnson had been working for Huck for five years now. After Huck saved Johnson's life, Johnson vowed to remain loyal to him for the rest of his life. It could be said that Johnson was Huck's right-hand man. Huck said, "Remember not to expose yourself, and don't do anything before you know what's going on for sure." "Of course, Mister Huck." Johnson turned and disappeared into the night as well, and Huck's gaze fell on the three members of the Scorpion Killers next to him. "Riley, Tom, Marshall? What do you guys think?" Riley shrugged. "It's your call, Mister Huck." Tom said, "I've never fully trusted Mike and Henry. If you want them gone, Mister Huck, now's your chance." Marshall chimed in, "Besides, we get more money with fewer people to split it with." Everyone exchanged knowing glances and smirked at each other. Throughout the past six months, Henry and Mike had not been fully loyal to the Scorpio
Johnson dragged Mike's body to a corner before disappearing into the night. He came out of Diseya, returning to where Huck was waiting for him with a smile. "Did you take care of it, Johnson?" Johnson shrugged. "It's a shame, really. I got there just in time to see Henry and Mike shoot each other at the same time. They're both dead now." Huck was furious. "So, these two idiots never respected me to begin with! They tried to take all the money for themselves seeing such a big opportunity but ended up dying at each other's hands. I guess that's a pretty decent ending." "You go, Marshall." "Yes, sir. I'll get it done this time." "Wait!" Johnson looked firmly at Marshall. "That Wilbur guy might have heard Mike and Henry's gunshots, and he might have realized that someone's trying to kill him. There's a possibility he's hidden himself, so it's not safe to go alone." Marshall groaned, "Those f*cking idiots!" Huck said, "All three of you go, then." "Alright!" Tom, Marshall
Wilbur raised Marshall above his head. "Tell me who sent you." Marshall widened his eyes in terror. "Y-You're a cultivator! How could this be?" Marshall seemed to be in disbelief at what was happening, but Wilbur was not trying to waste time here. He tightened his grip around Marshall's neck, whose breathing was cut off completely. "Mmmph—!" Marshall turned red in the face, flailing around as he tried to struggle out of Wilbur's grasp. Yet Wilbur's arm seemed to be clamped firmly around his neck like it was made of metal, and the blood in Marshall's body rushed to his face as the oxygen in his lungs drained. Wilbur saw that and knew it was about time. "Listen up. I'm going to give you one last chance to tell me who sent you. If you refuse to talk, I'll kill you immediately." He loosened his grip, and Marshall felt as though the bones in his body fell apart when he heaved for air. "S-Sir, p-please don't kill me! I'm just following F-Fawkes' orders. He's the one who wants you
Wilbur glanced at the bikes. "Are these yours?" "Y-Yes." Marshall looked up in a panic before saying, "No, wait! We came on five Harleys, but I only see four here. I think someone drove one of them off." Wilbur smiled. "I'm guessing there was an internal rift that went down, and one of your fellow Scorpion Killers killed Huck." Marshall paused, before saying, "There could only be one guy behind this, then! Johnson, the short one! Oh my god, he pledged his loyalty to Huck before! I can't believe he shot Huck and kidnapped Maria!" "Maria? Who's that?" "Huck's girl. She's a real fox. God, I'm going to kill Johnson when I find him." Wilbur said, "Surely there isn't the need for things to get this bad over one woman? Is there something you're not telling me?" Marshall blinked. "N-No, of course not! I've told you everything I know, Mister Penn. I can't believe that pervert Johnson got his hands on Maria. Let's go, Mister Penn. I'll take you to Monsato. I'll bring you to Fawke
Huck had used Maria to seduce Professor Dickens in the past. The two had an affair, which Huck had used as leverage against Dickens to create the Satan Robot. Professor Dickens knew that he had fallen for Huck's trap but could not deny his feelings for Maria, thus agreeing to the agreement. Dickens had thought that Huck would only pull such a trick on himself, only to find out that Huck had done the same to Johnson. Perhaps Huck thought that no man would be able to turn down a beautiful woman. Yet such a trick was as cruel as it was foolish. Huck thought that he had controlled these people, yet karma caught up to him in the end. Professor Dickens smiled and nodded. "Congratulations, Mister Johnson. The Satan Robot will be complete within another hour at most. There are only a few minor details I need to sort out." Johnson lit up at those words. "I'm truly blessed, aren't I? I've got everything I wanted in the end." Maria looked at him, her eyes reddened. "Congratulations, Joh
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
