Ten minutes later, Wilbur arrived at the foot of a shabby, worn apartment building. "Block thirty-five… this is it." The neighborhood was named Ediran, and it looked to be at least thirty years old. All the buildings here were six floors tall at most, and it looked to be the poorest place in all of Wendis. Wilbur could hardly believe that Judith and her grandmother lived in a place like this. With the special talent they both had, they were more than capable of digging up the most unthinkable treasures from underwater. The money from that could more than get Judith and her grandmother a unit in the most luxurious apartment in Wendis, or even a house of their own. Wilbur walked up to unit 502 and knocked on the door. "Coming!" Judith's voice rang from inside. The door was opened not long after, and Judith appeared in front of Wilbur looking delighted to see him. "Mister Penn! Come in, come in." "Thank you. Here's a little something I picked up." Wilbur handed the fruits
If Wilbur had been shocked by the old woman's first statement, he now felt like he had been struck by lightning. "You can tell I'm a cultivator?" Judith's grandmother looked at him calmly. "Yes, I can. You might find this strange, but it's perfectly normal for me. My family and I are descendants of the dragon clan, and each of us has some dragon blood flowing in us. When the dragon's blood is powerful enough, our special legacy, the Dragon Eye, will be awakened. The Dragon Eye can see things regular people cannot." She paused for a moment, then continued, "The dragon's blood in my body is powerful enough to awaken my Dragon Eye, so I can sense your aura. Judith is my granddaughter, and her Dragon Eye has been awakened just like mine. However, the dragon's blood in her body is not so powerful just yet. That is why she only has some special powers, so I let her dive for clams in the sea to make a living for the two of us." Wilbur frowned at the old woman. "Why did you tell me somet
After Judith's grandmother was done revealing that information to Wilbur, she returned to her room. Judith came out of the kitchen after cleaning up and chuckled at the sight of Wilbur standing frozen in place. "Want to go for a walk?" "W-What? Oh, yeah, sure. I was just thinking of doing that." Judith disappeared into her grandmother's room for a short while and then came out to go downstairs with Wilbur. They strolled along the neighborhood, and Wilbur asked, "Where's that pearl you found, Judith?" "I traded it for money, then donated it to charity," Judith replied. "Why didn't you leave some of it for yourself? I'm not saying you have to live lavishly, but you should at least have enough for a more comfortable life with your grandma." Judith shrugged at the words. "You're a good man, Mister Penn, but Grandma said that this is just our fate. We aren't fated for the lavish life. Using the money made from the Dragon Eye will only result in our bad karma." "Bad karma?" Wil
Wilbur grabbed Judith by the arm, yanking her over. Despite him moving fast enough, the thief's dagger still made a long gash in Judith's dress. The thief was eventually caught by the two men chasing after him and was subsequently handed over to the police. Wilbur had no choice but to bring Judith to a bathroom so she could change back into the clothes she had been in. They walked along the streets, and Judith let out a long breath. "What did I tell ya? My destiny's been set in stone. Grandma and I aren't fated for the lavish life." Wilbur had encountered people with special talents in the past. Despite the fact that they were not cultivators, their special talents were still quite bizarre and brilliant. Countless people had tried desperately to analyze these talents, and Wilbur had heard by chance before that those with special talents were actually not allowed to make money with their talents. Doing that would result in bad karma or some unpredictable tragedies. Wilbur was
Wilbur had cultivated the Dragon Move to the fifth level, where he could cast the Dragon's Howl. The golden dragon that was formed out of the spell would last five seconds and would last six seconds if he were to increase it to the sixth level. After contemplating through the night, Wilbur decided to stay in his room and cultivate for a month so he could raise his Dragon Move to the sixth level: Dragon's Shadow. In the past, Wilbur would never have been able to do so even if he was given a year, let alone a month. However, his powers had been leveled up rather significantly thanks to the hundred and fifty years of cultivation he obtained from the Dragon Spirit Essence. Raising his Dragon Move from the fifth to sixth level would definitely be quite the feat for Wilbur, but it was not impossible. Wilbur began meditating in solitude during the day, channeling his dragon aura to flow through his body, and by night, his body emitted a pale golden glow. This cycle went on for half a
A short while later, a man in a black suit appeared behind Wilbur. "Are you Wilbur Penn?" "Oh, a cultivator from the Church of Holy Illuminati. I hope you're not trying to start trouble with me." "Please don't get the wrong idea, Mister Penn. We're just trying to work with you." "What?" "Yes. Do you remember working with Tracy in Wearson Valley? Well, Tracy was one of our men." Wilbur smiled. "So, you're here for the Light Armor?" "Indeed. We're thinking of hiring you to work with us, Mister Penn." "I don't mind working with you, but you need to tell me what led you to make such a decision." "The Light Helmet is very important to us, Mister Penn. You should know that the Light Warrior was the Holy One of our church, and the Light Helmet means a lot to our church as well." Wilbur held back a laugh. "What on earth does the Light Warrior have to do with the Church of Holy Illuminati? That's hilarious. I don't think I would want to work with you unless you give me a condi
Either way, Wilbur felt like he could take advantage of his special identity now to find out more about Light Valley and the Church of Holy Illuminati before things went south in his relationship with them. Through chatting with the man in the suit, Wilbur found out that his name was Shaun, and he was a Norse messenger of the Church of Holy Illuminati. Following that, Shaun drove Wilbur to a manor outside of Wendis. The two of them entered the manor, and Shaun led Wilbur to the basement of the mansion where there were two Black Bishops from the Church of Holy Illuminati. "Mister Penn, this is Aisha and Symon. They're both Black Bishops." Wilbur smiled, extending his hand. "It's a pleasure to work with the both of you." Symon and Aisha exchanged glances before smiling at Wilbur, then shook Wilbur's hand one after the other. Symon's handshake was firm and strong as he said, "I'm delighted to work with you, Mister Penn." Aisha smiled and said, "I'm honored to be working with y
After settling the three of them down in their rooms, Shaun drove out of the manor. His car stopped at a dock, where a man in black robes was standing. Wilbur would be able to recognize the man as the Dark Messenger if he was here. Shaun got out of his car and jogged up to the man. Shaun got down on one knee respectfully. "I'm at your service, Dark Messenger." "How are things, Shaun?" "Don't worry, honorable Messenger. I've settled Wilbur and the others down in the manor. They'll leave for the Kook Islands in three days and search for the Light Helmet." The Dark Messenger smiled. "This is really interesting. My Lord has put quite an effort into this Wilbur guy. I hope he won't be a disappointment." That night, Wilbur sat down cross-legged on his bed. The cultivation method of the Magic Dragon Blade appeared in his mind, and he repeated it mentally before his eyes flew open and a long sword made of black miasma appeared in his grasp. The dragon aura radiating off the sword
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
