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
"Yes, I am." Wilbur nodded. "The speed of time in the mirror dimension is a thousand times faster than it is in the outside world." Augheimer said, "That means you got a dimensional treasure, doesn't it? No wonder you were able to grow so powerful in just a few short years. I have to say, though, I can't for the life of me figure out how you managed to get something so precious from Earth. How could a lower dimension hold something so powerful?" Wilbur patted Augheimer on the shoulder. "I'll explain that to you later. You've always wanted to improve your cultivation, haven't you? Well, here's your chance." Following that, Wilbur came to the Vermillion Bird Mountains with Augheimer, where he was shocked to sense that the energy aura in the air was almost a thousand times denser than it was outside. "How… How could this be? Why is the energy aura so powerful?" "I had the same question at first," said Wilbur. "Then Senior Horne told me that there are four energy sources hidden i
"Yes, Lord Edmund." Edmund's men snuck over to the Chris family grounds after receiving the order and returned after doing a good deal of snooping. "Lord Edmund, we found out that Felix returned to Buck Town alone." "Oh?" Edmund smirked at those words. "That means that Wilbur and Augheimer died in battle, then! Ha, they sure deserved it." Conrad shrugged. "I told you, Lord Edmund. There's no way Wilbur and Augheimer would survive Dalton's wrath." Edmund was nothing but smug. "Have someone ask around for news on Dalton and see if he came back." There was a response in no time, as Edmund's men knelt before him. "Dalton has not returned after leaving the Dragon Slayer Organization." "Oh? Dalton didn't come back either? Could it be that both he and Wilbur perished in battle?" Conrad looked ecstatic. "That would be wonderful, Lord Edmund." "No." Edmund's smile slid off his face. "If Dalton died in battle, his brother Lord Hadirt would come looking for him for sure. Had
"What? Wilbur hasn't come back?" Hadirt took a step forward, looking beside himself with fury. "Well, did he say when he'd be coming back?" "Oh, he didn't." "Please come back tomorrow instead." Hadirt glowered at the two guards, sending them flying into the air before landing heavily on the ground. "Let's go. You're coming with me." Hadirt led the crowd into the Chris family grounds and they were greeted with the sight of Felix in the courtyard. Felix wiped away his tears to say, "Felix Horne at your service, Lord Hadirt." "Huh? How do you know who I am, Felix?" "We've met once, Lord Hadirt." Hadirt roared, "Well then, tell me where Wilbur Penn is! He killed my brother, and I want to avenge him now!" Felix got a shock at the words, before breaking down into sobs. "Lord Hadirt… Wilbur died this morning in battle. His body is now dust, how are you going to find him?" "Wilbur died? How? Who killed him?" "Mister Dalton did." "Dalton?" Hadirt took a deep breath.
"Is that so? Why did you say that Wilbur killed my brother, then?" "I…" Conrad fell to the ground. "I thought that Mister Dalton had trapped Wilbur with the ice walls, and Wilbur's death was inevitable. That's why I left first. After that, I heard that Felix was back in Buck Town. I was shocked because he's Wilbur's servant and would never continue to live if Wilbur really died in battle. But it seems like… Felix is still alive, so Wilbur has to be alive as well. Wilbur and Mister Dalton hated each other. They wanted nothing more than to kill each other. I figured that since Wilbur was still alive, Mister Dalton must have been killed by him." Hadirt raised an eyebrow, and Conrad was sent flying over ten meters before crashing onto the ground as Hadirt roared, "Do you take me as a fool, Conrad?" Hadirt was far more powerful than Edmund, and Conrad scrambled to his feet before falling to his knees. "I know I didn't handle this the best, Lord Hadirt… but think about it…" Conrad
