Grote fell to the ground on his knees, his chest heaving as the black vortex disappeared around him. He looked up at Wilbur in terror, who stared down at him like a god of death. Just then, an icy voice escaped from Wilbur's throat. "You're a low life to me, Grote. Disrespect me any further, and I'll be sure to kill you." Grote trembled from head to toe, his expression flickering between fear and disbelief at something that seemed to be scaring the absolute spirit out of him. He knocked his forehead against the ground repeatedly as he apologized over and over again. Conrad furrowed his brows at the sight of Grote, then at Wilbur. He did not know what Grote was so afraid of. Grote was a legendary warrior who never backed down, even in the face of death. Yet… he had just admitted defeat like that. Also, who did that voice coming out of Wilbur even belong to? Wilbur's eyes eventually returned to normal, the left side of his chest throbbing with overwhelming pain. He gritted his
The three men chose to fly to Pulsa Lake, and this journey only took them ten minutes. Pulsa Lake was located between two snowy mountains, but the lake itself never froze over. It remained shimmering under the sun like an enormous mirror. The three men landed by the shore, and Wilbur looked up to see a wooden boat on the water. Augheimer's cries could be heard from where he was, stripped topless and tied to a pole on the boat. "Come on, Dalton! Just kill me! I dare you!" Dalton stood across Augheimer on a boat, holding a bamboo flute between his fingers that he blew a lovely tune out of. Conrad was enraged to see this, shouting, "To think that you're still in the mood for a song, Dalton! Let Augheimer go, or you're not getting back to Buck Town today." Dalton's performance stopped upon hearing those words, and he looked up at the men by the shore. "I didn't expect you to be here too, Conrad. My, my… they even got the head of the Albert family to help. Pretty impressive that y
"Wonderful. Well, let's get to it, then." As he said the words, a black ball appeared in Dalton's right hand. It grew bigger and bigger, radiating an icy, black miasma. Dalton then controlled the ball with both hands, hurling it into the lake. The next second, the water in Pulsa Lake froze over, with icy snowflakes dancing across its surface. A layer of ice formed over the lake, the raised frost lifting the boat up. Icicles began to climb up the boat, quickly covering it with a layer of frost including Augheimer. Wilbur's eyes turned bloodshot. "What the hell are you doing, Dalton!" Dalton sneered. "You managed to defeat me the last time because I was careless, Wilbur. I've laid down the most powerful Dark Formation at the bottom of the lake, and it's going to keep everything within Pulsa Lake frozen. With how frozen your little friend over there looks, I doubt he's going to last more than an hour. If you can't defeat me by then, Augheimer is going to die!" "You're not goin
A thin layer of ice formed around Felix as well, freezing him to the spot before Dalton sent him flying over a dozen meters. Following that, Dalton turned to Conrad. "I'll let you leave in peace if you do that now, Lord Conrad." "Ha, I see." Conrad shrugged. "Well, Wilbur and I are just regular friends. I'm not about to put my life on the line for him. Since this is between the both of you, it can stay that way. I'm leaving myself out of it. Goodbye, Dalton." Upon saying the words, Conrad flew away from Pulsa Lake. "Ha!" Dalton barked, turning back to look at Wilbur in the icy pillar tauntingly. "Your ally just abandoned you, Wilbur! How sad, but you've got nowhere to run now." Conrad's departure did not leave Wilbur feeling disappointed in the slightest, as he had never expected Conrad to truly be on his side. Instead, Wilbur was relieved to see him go as he could finally release the dragon aura in his body. He summoned the Azure Dragon Spear, hurling it against the icy
Upon saying those words, Dalton muttered a spell. The ice beneath his feet cracked open, and a wisp of black miasma crept upwards as a black ice dragon emerged. The ice dragon stared down at Wilbur as Dalton leaped onto its head, melding his aura into the dragon as he reached out to grab Wilbur. The ice dragon reached out as well, grabbing at Wilbur in the same motion. Wilbur flew backward as Dalton chased after him on the ice dragon, which opened its mouth to snap at Wilbur. Cold air struck Wilbur as he took several steps backward on purpose. Wilbur waited for the ice dragon to lower its head before leaping on himself, swinging his sword towards Dalton. Dalton was already covered in the ice formed by the ice dragon, and he melded into the dragon's body as he laughed wildly. "You fell for it again, Wilbur!" "Fell for what?" Wilbur was about to make a turn when he realized that his feet were covered by the icy aura the ice dragon was radiating. His legs were frozen in place,
The vortex had absorbed the ice dragon completely. Dalton was about to run when Wilbur reached out from where he was standing in the middle of the vortex to grab Dalton by the neck. Following that, Dalton's own energy aura quickly began to fade! "No! I don't want to die, no!" Dalton struggled with all his might to break out of Wilbur's grasp, but there was no running for him after all the trouble he had caused Wilbur. Within just five seconds, the whirlpool had absorbed all of Dalton's powers. Wilbur then channeled a wave of the power of destruction into Dalton's body, causing it to explode into the air. The whirlpool disappeared, and Wilbur landed on the ground calmly. He opened his right hand, and a smaller black vortex appeared in his palm before spinning out of sight. Wilbur smirked. "So that's what the dark space dimensional laws look like." He had not expected to comprehend the dark space powers by complete accident. This was a terrifying form of power, beyond Wilb
Wilbur frowned. "Is Hadirt really that powerful? How does he fare compared to Lord Edmund or Lord George?" Felix shook his head. "They're not even comparable. Back in the day, George was only able to become the City Lord of Walker Town with Hadirt's support. Even ten Georges together won't be a match for Hadirt!" Wilbur was shocked by the revelation, and Felix sighed. "You're going to have to hide for your life now, Master. Cultivate as much as you can, and head to the upper dimensions through a dimensional portal when Hadirt's not looking. That's the only way you'll avoid his wrath. You won't be able to show yourself for a while now. You have to lay low and focus on cultivating." "But…" Wilbur was about to speak, but Felix waved a hand. Felix knew the middle dimensions best, and if he said that there was no other way out… that was most likely the case. Augheimer said, "Wilbur, I don't have anything to repay you with for saving my life. Let me stay by your side from now and h
Yet what Conrad did not know was that the real Lord Babbit of the Reyne family had died, and the current Babbit was just a clone of Edmund. Conrad had pledged his loyalty to Edmund but did not know any of Edmund's secrets. The honest truth was that Edmund hardly saw Conrad as a loyal servant either. Someone so happily willing to abandon their ally in a battle could not be trusted. Edmund was only accepting of Conrad because he felt Conrad could be used. Conrad's biggest wish was to battle Babbit one day and then take over his power. To Conrad, doing so would raise his status and even make him more powerful than the City Lord of Babbit, but such a plan was practically laughable to Edmund. It was simply impossible. Why would Edmund make an enemy out of himself? However, that could become a tactic to control Conrad. Edmund had not fully recovered yet, and he had been stoking the flames between Wilbur and Dalton to get rid of Wilbur. With the state Wilbur was in, there was no way
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
