A wave of dark energy was released from the seal, flowing through Wilbur's body as he finally regained control over his spirit senses and body. "Indeed. We're now melded into one body. You were about to die if I didn't help you." "Thank you." Wilbur hesitated for a moment but found himself saying the words mentally. He swam upward quickly, and a figure soared across his head the second he broke through the water's surface. Wilbur flicked the water off his face and looked up to see the woman flying toward the Night Demon under the control of a black tornado. The next second, the Night Demon grabbed the woman by her neck. "No!" Wilbur screamed. Boom! The woman's body exploded in a split second. No one could believe that she had died at the hands of her own son. Just then, a splash could be heard from the water as the man's corpse bobbed to the surface as well. The Night Demon had killed both husband and wife in a matter of minutes. Wilbur could no longer take it, soaring
Just then, the man's throat moved as a raspy voice sounded from his lips. "I'm going to keep hiding in his body! I'd like to see what you're going to do to me, ha! You're going to have to kill him first if you want to kill me!" "You!" Wilbur stared at the middle-aged man helplessly. At the same time, the other villagers realized something weird about the man and scrambled to get away from him. The man returned to his senses, looking around frantically. "W-What's going on here? Why… Why are you looking at me like that?" He grabbed Wilbur by the hand. "What's going on, young man? Can you please tell me what's happening?" "The Night Demon's hiding in your body right now, sir," said Wilbur. "We need to find a way to force him out." "What?" The man looked terrified. "The Night Demon's hiding… in my body? How… How can this be? No, I can't have this! I can't be the reason everyone goes down!" The man turned to walk out, and one of the villagers shouted, "That's right, Frank Son
Wilbur jogged after Frank, following him all the way to the pier. The waves lapped at the shores, and Wilbur pursed his lips before saying, "You know, sir, you shouldn't be too sad. I believe you. Maybe we can find some other way to force the Night Demon out of you." Frank shook his head, frowning at the water. "No, no. I never blamed my parents. I think they've been the best parents I could ever wish for. Maybe this really is just written in the stars for me. Everyone else is already married with children at my age, and I'm stuck all by myself. They're right, you know. If sacrificing me can save all the other villagers, I'm willing to do it. No one may remember me in the future, but at least I can say I did something for my village." Frank turned to face Wilbur, spreading his arms. "Come on, kill me. Since the Night Demon's in my body, it'll die if I die. I'd rather have this put to an end than have to live the rest of my life in fear. This isn't that bad for me, you know? We all
Frank was a good man in Wilbur's eyes and did not deserve to be treated this way. Despite the fact that Frank's mortal body would not be able to withstand the pressure from the Dragon Trap Formation. However, they were in the Eternal Sunshine Dimension, a dimension that was specifically created for dragon clan cultivators. If that was the case, the Night Demons might know some things about the dragon clan. It was possible that this Night Demon knew of the Dragon Trap Formation. However, since the formation was considered top secret information to the dragon clan, outsiders would only know the name and effects of the formation, but not the conditions required to cast it. Thus, Wilbur felt like the Night Demon might be scared by watching him lay the Dragon Trap Formation down and leave Frank's body voluntarily. Once that happened, Frank would be able to return to the fishing village. Wilbur could not bear to see Frank die, especially if Frank was dying for Wilbur's sake. Wilbur was
"I absorbed the Night Demon's energy. There might only be a tenth of evil god energy left in your body, but the support of the Night Demon's energy helped me to overpower you and take control of your body." "But Senior Kaiser already sealed the dark energy inside of my body. Can you actually break the seal?" "No, I can't, but the energy from the Night Demon allowed me to override some restrictions." "I see." "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. The seal would disappear if I did that, and Kaiser would know at once. I might end up getting sealed off until the end of time if he comes looking for me, and I have no intention of living in a sealed-off dimension for thousands of years." "Is that why you're willing to work with me?" "Yes, I guess you could say that. I don't see anything bad about that, though. We're just using each other, at the end of the day. I can help you, and your experiences will teach me some things as well." "So, this was planned?" "Yes. Senior Kais
The old man was completely unaffected by Wilbur's question, instead flashing him a smile as he patted Wilbur on the shoulder. "I'd say you'd have made it in life if you were able to get really, really good at just one thing, young man. The mirrors our village makes are of much better quality than those from anywhere else. We'll never be worried about them not selling." "Really? Are you sure you aren't pulling my leg, sir?" "Why would I do that? You can walk around and take a look for yourself if you don't believe me." "Alright. Thank you, sir." Wilbur bid goodbye to the old man, then walked past a few muscular hunks polishing mirrors of their own. He realized that they were all using the same technique, and nothing really stood out among the crafters. Wilbur guessed that maybe the quality of the copper ore was just good enough for the mirrors polished from it to be of better quality as well. Yet after purchasing a mirror for himself and searching through it with his spirit se
More and more dark clouds gathered, covering the village completely. It was as if Gemglass Village had been plunged into darkness, a stark contrast to its perfectly bright surroundings. Upon seeing this, the villagers stopped polishing their mirrors and cracked a few yawns, heading inside to get some rest. The people in the Eternal Sunshine Dimension followed the regular lifestyle of working after sunrise and resting after sunset. The only difference was that their sky was still bright after the sun had set. The Nightfall Well in Gemglass Village was able to create the illusion of nighttime, something that was considered a phenomenal sight in the Eternal Sunshine Dimension. Wilbur sat on a nearby rock, watching the Nightfall Well quietly. He waited until the entire village was silent before walking up to the well, leaning over to look down at the water. Under the faint rays of light hidden between the dark clouds, Wilbur could see his reflection in the water. Everything looked no
In the next second, the young man leaped out of the well. With a powerful stomp on the ground, a dark aura spread out beneath his feet in all directions as he looked at Wilbur. "I dare you to come in with me." "Sure." Wilbur accepted the challenge and entered the young man's domain at once. It was a dark domain, and the two of them were the only people there. They stared at each other for a while before the young man used his mind to form a large bronze mirror. "This is a special mirror. Do you dare to enter the world beyond it?" "I'll try anything once." The young man smirked. "Very well. Come with me, then." He then walked into the mirror, and Wilbur followed after him. White light flashed through the air, and Wilbur found himself in a utopia of sorts. The young man glanced at him, saying, "Come with me." Wilbur flew behind the young man, who shifted his appearance to be clad in long white robes as they made their way towards a small island in the middle of a lake. Wi
