Right after Sammy and Dom had left, Wilbur was about to rest when the phone rang. He saw that it was a call from Nancy and hurried to pick it up. "Hello, Nancy! How have you been?" "I'm alright, Wilbur. I know you're a busy man, but there's a gathering tomorrow night with all our classmates. Will you be coming?" "I'll pass this time." Wilbur had lost interest in these gatherings since what happened the last time. Nancy sighed. "I don't want to go either if I'm being honest." "Well, don't go, then!" "I know, but everyone's been giving me hell for it. They're saying I'm all cocky now that I've gotten a promotion at work, I don't feel good turning them down." Wilbur let out a sigh. Sometimes these things could really be beyond one's control. "Well, I guess you'll just have to go, then." "I… I was wondering if you could go with me?" Nancy asked in a feeble tone. Wilbur wanted to say no, but Nancy had been one of the first people to ever show genuine concern for him back
Wilbur sped all the way to Noir Nightclub, barging into room 888. Matt hurried to bow when he saw Wilbur. "Sir, that's the guy!" He pointed to a young man. Wilbur looked over and saw that the guy seemed to be in his twenties. He was a pretty handsome guy, with most of his hair covering half his face. Wilbur then spotted Gerard on the floor and hurried to help him up. He also channeled some spirit energy into Gerard to stabilize his condition. Gerard looked down indignantly. "Sir, we've embarrassed your name." Wilbur said nothing. He glanced at the gamblers before his gaze finally landed back on the young man. "What should I call you?" "Skyler White, King of Thieves," the young man said, taking a drag of his cigar. Wilbur replied coldly. "King of Thieves, huh? That's some big name you got." "Of course." Skyler did not seem humble in the slightest. Wilbur's expression darkened. "You stole in my territory and even attacked others. How dare you still act so smugly!" Sky
Jerome himself was rather fired up as well. "How are you going to pay?" Jerome had a bit of a name in the industry, and those two gamblers could hardly afford to mess with him. With the addition of Skyler, Matt, and the rest, the two gamblers said at once, "We'll follow the rules and pay up three times how much we won." "Is that alright with you, sir?" Jerome looked at Skyler. Skyler replied nonchalantly, "Sure." The two gamblers made the transfer to Skyler at once, apologizing to him once again. Wilbur said, "So, I take it the whole cheating debacle is done with, Skyler White?" "It's done." Wilbur nodded. "Well, what about you stealing in my territory and attacking others when you get caught?" It was the gamblers' fault for cheating, and they deserved to pay up for that. But after that was sorted, the stealing was to be dealt with. Skyler chuckled. "That's just what I do. Besides, I stole from rich people. It's like a Robin Hood situation." "And who were you fee
Splitmove was a technique that allowed the cultivator to travel within short distances in a split second, a very handy and useful technique. This was a type of technique that even Sanctuary level cultivators might not be able to master. However, Wilbur had looked up information on Skyler before this. He was just a beginner Ambience level cultivator. He must have some secrets of his own to be able to master the Splitmove at that stage. Skyler himself was shocked as well. He was a master of Splitmove and had never lost before. However, this man before him had just nullified his attack with just a wave of his arm, all while being able to attack Skyler as well. How had Wilbur been so sure where Skyler was going to travel to? Skyler could not understand the situation at all. Of course, Wilbur understood it fully. Whenever Wilbur got into a battle, he would extend his spirit energy to form an invisible sensor within a one-meter radius around him. That allowed Wilbur to sense
A heavy thump echoed through the room as Skyler felt like his entire system was upended. The spirit energy in his body flowed out uncontrollably, unable to condense at all. It could be said that Wilbur had rendered Skyler unable to fight anymore. The other gamblers stared at them in shock. Skyler was already terrifyingly powerful, but this man was even more so. He had taken Skyler out with just one move, and none of them could understand just how this man had done it. Matt and Gerard were much more relieved upon seeing Skyler taken down, and they turned to the gamblers and owner of the club. "Tell anyone a word of what happened tonight, and we'll have your heads." The owner of the club barely dared to say a word, hurrying off with the other gamblers as they ran out of the club. Jerome drove right home. Whatever happened to the club was out of his control now. He was fine with anything as long as he did not get swept up into this terrifying battle. Just then, Wilbur turned
A cultivator did not usually care much about money, but they did care about precious ancient treasure. That was much, much harder to find compared to money. Cultivation methods, weapons, pills, and antidotes. Anything of that sort was important to a cultivator. Wilbur raised his brows. Who would have thought that something would actually come out of scaring the guy? He fell silent for a brief moment before saying, "Go on. I'm listening." Sensing Wilbur's interest, Skyler crawled up slowly and put on a mysterious expression. "I stumbled across these ancient remains a while back when I went to Jarlinville, but it was sealed shut with a powerful spell. I was afraid I might be getting myself in trouble, so I didn't go in. However, I'm sure you'll be able to do so since you're so powerful! Judging from the spell sealing it shut, I'm sure it's hiding something pretty good." "Heh. You didn't go in, or you weren't able to?" Wilbur mocked. Skyler flushed, saying nothing further. W
Of course, there was no way Faye was convinced. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking up at the ceiling. Wilbur resigned to taking out the Marrow Cleansing Pill, waving it in front of Faye. "Look, I've got a present for you." "What is it?" Faye's curiosity was piqued, and she glanced at the pill. Wilbur said, "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. I got it just for you. Once you take it, I'll channel spirit energy into your body and you'll be able to start cultivating as a cultivator." "Really?" Faye was overjoyed. Ever since Faye had witnessed just what Wilbur was capable of, she had fantasized about what it would be like to have powers like his. She knew, however, that she would never have such a chance. However, upon seeing Faron and Elsa becoming cultivators too, frustration began to bubble up within her again. Faye was not actually mad about Wilbur helping Sammy. Faye knew that she would never be able to control Wilbur, and she was happy enough that Wilb
Faron chuckled. "It's a very misleading scene to walk into." "Exactly, Miss Yves. Did you consent to this? If you didn't, I can get the authorities involved in this," Elsa said seriously. Wilbur's expression darkened. "Still going, I see." Faye covered her body with Faron's shirt and blushed. "Cut it out, you guys. I'm going to take a shower." She got up and fled at top speed. Elsa snorted. "Yeah, she definitely could use a shower." "Not bad, dude! You must be spent, man," Faron piped up. Wilbur glared at the both of them. "I was using the Marrow Cleansing Pill to channel spirit energy into Faye. What are you two trying to imply?" "Oh, it's nothing. We just thought we'd come to see you since we haven't in a few days. We didn't expect to walk into something so… intense," Elsa giggled. Wilbur's expression was ashen. "Do you need anything? Get lost if you don't." "Nope, nothing needed! We'll be on our way to work, then." Faron turned to leave, whistling playfully. Elsa
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
