Ramont looked at Adela coldly and declared, "You're dead, Adela!" All of a sudden, an explosion sounded on the porch. Smoke and debris flew everywhere, as Ramont and Adela landed hard on the ground. Ramont spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, Wilbur and Augheimer rushed out from where they had been hiding to fly toward the other figure in the smoke. Just then, Wilbur sensed a powerful energy aura descending in the area. At the last moment, he grabbed Augheimer and held him back. "Wait, don't go over there!" "Arrrggghhhh! You're all dead, all of you!" Adela roared as a powerful energy aura spread outward. The powerful waves sent Wilbur and Augheimer flying back over a dozen meters. After landing on the ground, Wilbur helped Augheimer up. "Are you alright?" "I'm f-fine! Come on, we have to save the City Lord!" "Don't worry, he won't die as long as I'm around!" Wilbur charged toward Ramont just as Adela darted up to Ramont as well. A fight broke out between Ramo
Adela laughed loudly as he spoke the words, and Augheimer gritted his teeth. "What are you laughing at? Is that supposed to be funny to you?" "Oh, it feels so good to be an elite. You'll never understand the difference between those who make the rules and those who have to abide by them. For all the hard work and time you put into trying to outsmart me, you're still going to end up dead. At the end of the day, you don't have a say in how the rules go." "F*ck, I'm going to kill you!" Ramont roared. Ramont had always been quite a powerful fighter who was also talented. He had never lost a battle throughout his cultivation journey, but Adela still managed to entrap him despite his meticulous schemes. Rage flared up in Ramont's chest, and he gritted his teeth through the pain coursing through his body as he charged toward Adela once more. Just as he was about to get to Adela, Ramont summoned a green sword that he swung at her. At the same time, Adela merely turned his hand over bef
"So, it's you, Wilbur Penn! You've definitely got a death wish, haven't you? Well, I'm happy to grant it!" Adela muttered a spell, and a pillar of black flames shot out of the Ebony Phoenix to wrap around Wilbur. Augheimer's eyes grew bloodshot as he shouted, "No, no!" Ramont grabbed Augheimer. "Don't go over there. It's too late for anything now. We'll just have to leave it up to fate." "This is all my fault, Wilbur! I shouldn't have done this!" Augheimer broke down into sobs all of a sudden. Just then, the black flames were put out as Wilbur emerged, radiating the same white glow all over. "I'm not dead yet, Augheimer," said Wilbur. "I promised you I'd help you finish this, didn't I?" Wilbur leaped into the air, flying toward the Ebony Phoenix. Adela was furious to see this, and shouted, "What are you doing, you bastard? Come back!" Yet Wilbur had already reached the phoenix, touching it with his hands. The Ebony Phoenix began to shrink instantly. Before long, it was co
"How dare you! I'm going to kill you!" Adela released a white light space power all of a sudden, forming a white vortex as both opposing space powers attempted to usurp each other's energy aura. "Hahaha!" Adela laughed all of a sudden. "I have fifty thousand years of cultivation, Wilbur, but you only have thirty thousand. You're not a match for me even if you've mastered the dark space dimensional laws!" Wilbur gritted his teeth. "Help me out here, Augheimer!" "I'm coming!" Augheimer charged up to Wilbur, grabbing Wilbur's right hand as he released dark space power as well. A large vortex formed out of both their dark space powers, devouring Adela's energy aura continuously. Adela only brought one Power Elixir Drop with him this time, and he had used it up. Regret and fury filled his chest as he watched the energy aura drain out of him, unable to do anything. Wrinkles began to form on Adela's skin, his brown hair slowly fading to white. Adela, who had lost the nourishment
"Got it, Lord Ramont." "Take me back to get some rest." Augheimer walked Ramont to his room before coming out to see Wilbur scowling at him. "Why did you do this, Augheimer? You know I always saw you as a friend, and this is how you treat me? You made me help you kill Adela! You know Adela is Odysseus' Senior Guard and killing him is a great offense to Odysseus. You did this to stop me from advancing to the upper dimensions, didn't you?" Augheimer lowered his head. He had known that Wilbur would eventually find out about this, just not so soon. Augheimer would have died just now if Wilbur had not been there, and thus could not retaliate at all. After a brief silence, Augheimer said, "I'm sorry.' "I don't want to hear that! I treated you like a friend, but you used me! This is the last time I'm helping you! We're done!" Wilbur turned to leave after that, and Augheimer sighed as he watched him. Coming out of the ruler's residence, Wilbur did not return to the Robert family.
Wilbur had lost interest in cultivating ever since falling for Augheimer's ploy. Since he could not advance to the upper dimensions, he would not be able to become a servant of the dimensional guardians, and thus could not return to Earth from a few decades ago. Even if he was to return to Earth now, everything he had known there would have changed already. If he could not return to the past, then there was no point in going back at all. Yes, Wilbur would just stay and cultivate in Tevinter Town. It was probably best for him to make more friends, then. That afternoon, Liam introduced Wilbur to a brown-haired cultivator. "This is Teller Andrew, the spirit cultivator sent over by the Andrew family. He'll be living with us from now onwards." Liam then turned to Teller and said, "This is Trevor Penn, the Robert family's dragon clan cultivator." Wilbur and Teller exchanged glances, nodding at each other in acknowledgment. Teller's gaze looked strangely familiar to Wilbur as they l
It was clear that both plans were riddled with difficulties, but Augheimer at least seemed to have realized that he had screwed up. Wilbur gave it some thought and then decided to meet Augheimer at the bar as written in the letter. After all, Augheimer had been waiting for three days now. Wilbur arrived at the bar and headed upstairs, where he saw Augheimer. Augheimer got to his feet, gesturing to Wilbur as the two men sat down. Augheimer immediately said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that to you. I'm going to make it up to you by helping you advance to the upper dimensions. From what I know, there are three upper dimensions. Each upper dimension is a world of its own, and those three worlds are connected to form the upper dimensions." "I know that," Wilbur said, cutting Augheimer off. "We can talk about heading to the upper dimensions another day. I think it's more important for us to discuss the situation with Adela first." "Well, Lord Odysseus of Light Town is known t
Augheimer was no fool, and Wilbur felt like he had lost himself after receiving help for what he had encountered in the middle dimensions. If Augheimer was just willing to think about it properly, he would quickly realize that Ramont was no friend of his. "Well, I'm going to read up more about the dimension portal in Tevinter Town in the time to come. You're welcome to advance to the upper dimensions with me anytime you want to." Augheimer lowered his head wordlessly, and Wilbur got up to leave. He headed to the bookstore after that, asking for any books that contained information on the old dimensional portal in Tevinter Town. He was able to find out that this portal was once located on the peak of Mount Bronc, the tallest mountain in the Cavette Mountains. Tevinter might be a town of violence reeking of murder and bloodshed, but the extreme temperatures of the Cavette Mountains made it rather deserted. There were few people who went there, making the Cavette Mountains pretty mu
