The two men seemed to be discussing a transaction of sorts. After a brief conversation, the red-haired man handed a storage ring to Conrad. They parted ways then, heading in different directions. Wilbur emerged from behind the tree. He looked to the left, then the right before running in the direction Conrad had headed. Conrad was despicable, but Edmund was ultimately Wilbur's biggest enemy. Wilbur did not want to cause any alarm, so he just followed Conrad all the way back to Tevinter Town. Perhaps Conrad might lead him to Edmund. Unfortunately, Wilbur lost Conrad at a junction on the way back. He looked around, but Conrad was nowhere to be seen. It was getting darker, and Wilbur ended up heading back to the Robert family. Ramos handed Wilbur another letter as soon as he got back, and he opened it back in his room. Augheimer had written to him saying that Odysseus had already sent his men over to ask about Adela. Ramont had told them that Adela had planned to stay in Tevinter
Once Wilbur had the protection of the upper dimension cultivators, he could get them to channel their energy into the formation and activate the portal for him to advance to the upper dimensions. The thought excited him greatly, as laying down the formation would not be hard for Wilbur. After taking two days to prepare everything, Wilbur contacted Augheimer and asked him if he wanted to head to the upper dimensions with him one last time. Augheimer shook his head. "No, I can't leave Lord Ramont at a time like this. I'm sorry, Wilbur." "You…" Wilbur had thought that Augheimer would be smart enough to have figured out that Ramont hardly saw him as a friend, and thus stop remaining loyal to him. "I've made my mind up. I won't be going to the upper dimensions, Wilbur. I wish you all the best." Wilbur watched Augheimer leave, feeling like this was such a shame. Yet no one could change Augheimer's mind, and maybe Ramont had found a way to quell Odysseus' anger so that he and Augh
That was enough to prove that the upper dimensions were a dangerous place to a regular cultivator. Thus, Wilbur planned to make sure he found his footing in the upper dimensions before getting Felix to join him. With Wilbur's help, Augheimer and Felix would not have such a hard time. After making up his mind, Wilbur decided to get the five hundred thousand gold coins on his own. He had two and a half months left now, and it would be impossible for him to rely on killing beasts to earn bronze coins. Thus, Wilbur had to think of a way to make money fast. After giving it some thought, he decided to strike up a deal with the cultivators. Wilbur came to the outskirts of Tevinter Town, where he saw a cultivator beating another cultivating to a pulp. Wilbur hurried over to help the wounded cultivator up, before asking, "Do you need my help? Fifty gold coins to get you out alive, a hundred to teach your opponent a lesson too." "I'll give you fifty gold coins! I just don't want him to
"No, no. I'd like for you to channel your power into this formation here and activate the portal to the upper dimensions so I can advance there to cultivate." Heaton looked around him amidst the white light, before lighting up with emotion. "This is Mount Bronc! Good heavens, are you trying to forcefully open a dimensional portal?" "That's right. It's a wish of mine, Mister Heaton. You said that one favor would cost five hundred thousand gold coins, didn't you? Well, now I'd like you to release some of your power into the formation. Can't you even do something so small? Or… is it that you can't do it?" "How dare you! I made a promise to you, so I'm going to keep it! I'd just give it more thought if I were you. You only have three hundred thousand years of cultivation in you. It's going to be hard for you to survive when you get to the upper dimensions." "That's a choice I've made, Mister Heaton. I won't blame you for it. Please, help me out here." "Alright, alright. I'll help
"Conrad? What the hell?" Wilbur's eyes widened in shock as Conrad smirked at him. "Oh, Wilbur. Did you really think I hadn't noticed you following me around for a month?" "I'll let you in on a little secret. All of this was Mister Odysseus' plan. You thought that you'd be able to hide the fact that you and Augheimer killed Adela, but Mister Odysseus knew about this a long time ago. He's been plotting for three months, all so he could kill you today. Didn't you really want to kill me, Wilbur? Come on, go for it! Once you step out of that formation, you'll be able to take me down for sure. You wouldn't give your life up for something like that though, would you? You selfish bastard, your cultivation wouldn't even be enough for you to hold up in the upper dimensions! You'd be dead for sure!" Conrad glowered at Wilbur as if he wanted to grind him to a pulp between his teeth. After all, Wilbur was the reason Conrad and Edmund were in this state. The two of them had no power and status
"Come on out, Edmund." "Yes, Mister Odysseus." Just as Odysseus' words rang through the air, Teller Andrew stepped out from behind Odysseus. Teller smirked at Wilbur coldly. "Long time no see, Mister Trevor Penn." "Teller? What? You…." "Yes, I was Edmund the whole time. I was at the Robert family grounds, but you never recognized me. But you mustn't be too sad, Wilbur. After all, I only found out that you were Wilbur through Conrad. Hohoho, it's been a while, honorable Mister Penn." Edmund's real appearance was revealed. He was covered in blood, holding a dagger that startled Wilbur upon realizing whom it belonged to. "That's the dagger I gifted Senior Horne, why do you have it? What…" "Hahahaha! Yes, I killed Felix Horne." Edmund's smile grew. "I stabbed him to death myself, using the dagger he treasured so dearly as a weapon. Every stab sprayed me with his blood, Wilbur. That's how your dear servant died." Edmund's gaze turned cold. "His blood is my revenge!" Wilbur w
In less than three minutes, Wilbur stabbed Edmund three thousand six hundred times. By the end, Edmund's body stopped bleeding, but he was still conscious. "Ahhh!" Wilbur raised his head and let out an angry roar, his mind filled with memories of Felix. Then, the violent dragon aura surged into Edmund's body. With a boom, Edmund's body exploded into dust, scattering in the wind. Clapping sounds could be heard. Odysseus did not make a move himself. He seemed to appreciate what Wilbur had done and applauded, saying with a smile, "Conrad and Edmund together planned the slaughter of Felix. I'll leave him to you." After speaking, Odysseus grabbed Conrad and threw him into the air. Wilbur flashed and appeared in front of Conrad. In an instant, the Magic Dragon Blade went right through Conrad's chest. Conrad looked at Wilbur in extreme terror, unable to believe that Wilbur's strength had improved so much in such a short time. In the end, in utter fear, Conrad's eyes went blank, an
The violent explosion instantly turned Augheimer into dust. Almost simultaneously, the white light from the magic circle shot up into the sky and disappeared without a trace. A flash of white light appeared before Wilbur's eyes, and he found himself lying in a snowfield. Snowflakes danced in the sky, and Wilbur, lying on the ground, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Recalling what had just happened, Wilbur felt a wave of pain. At that moment, the sound of footsteps came from ahead. Moments later, a tall man appeared in front of Wilbur, looking at him with a kind expression, and said, "How are you? Are you alright?" Wilbur looked up at the man and realized it was Heaton, the cultivator who had just saved him. "I'm fine. Thank you for saving me earlier. I was just… Right, this is the upper dimensions, isn't it?" "Yes, this is indeed the upper dimensions," Heaton replied. Wilbur tried to stand up from the ground but was once again forced down by the suddenly incr
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
